It started off as a common market, and is now a political union.

I live in the EU (ireland) and we are trying to make an app to combat the spread of COVID-19. It is an opt-in app, which you download yourself, and it tracks who you have been nearby. If a person is tested positive for COVID-19 it will tell you that you were nearby them (using phones locations), and do other data analysis to tell who is safe based on being near people with symptoms etc.

We haven't been able to develop or release the app because it goes against some term in GDPR, an EU law which protects privacy, even though it is an app you choose to download yourself.. Imagine telling that to people in the 1970s-1990s when they chose to join the EU? A lot less countries would have joined.

Is the 'controversial' sort option the same as 'Top'? they both give the same sequence of comments.

I deleted my other comments about what 'Parent' does. 'Context' literally does the same thing. The difference is you can't click 'Context' when you are reading a thread, you can only click it when you are reading someones history. If you are reading a thread and want to see who someone is replying to and the list of replies is too long, you can click 'Parent' on reddit.

You were right. Its not supposed to show the full chain. It's meant to only show your comment and the one you're replying to, and then if you want to move up the chain of replies for context on the comments, you can click 'Parent'

On .win we don't have this, it just shows the entire chain at once. It should be changed so 'context' only shows 1 or 2 comments, and you have to click parent. Because if the chain of comments is really long you end up having to search for your comment

Edit: Actually it doesn't show the entire chain anymore...You were right though. The parent comment basically just links to what comment you replied to. If a reply is really far down below a pile of other replies, its hard to see what they replied to. With 'Parent' you can just click it to see.

My point is that if you don't have any lockdowns at all, you are likely to end up like Spain, which didn't do anything until the problem got very bad.

China and India have done lockdowns and the spread of the virus has stopped increasing. They make up 1/2 of the worlds road deaths. If they had not put everyone into quarantine, the china flu deaths would be worse.

Basically I am saying if you do what you are saying, which it seems is 'dont do anything, road deaths are higher and we do nothing' then the COVID deaths will continue to rise, and surpass road deaths which is exactly what happened in Spain.

Right now in the US they are the same as road deaths, but that would increase if we did nothing. Why would we not end up like Spain if we did nothing and let things continue as normal.

What exactly are they doing on Reddit to campaign? That place is already competely and utterly anti-Trump propaganda.

Their main focus is going to be here, because thats where most of the supporters for Trump are. (and maybe 4chan I dont know).

Well if it stays like this, 109 deaths per day, we will go back to normal and everyone will have their jobs back. But if you just do the same as normal, you will end up like spain where there is over 100 times more deaths from COVID than there are from road deaths (625 deaths today from COVID, 5 per day average from road deaths in 2013).

If we had 100-150 times more road deaths per year in the US, we would definitely be doin something about it..

In 2016 there were on average 102 deaths per day in the US due to road crashes. COVID19 killed 109 today, so its not exactly way less. And it isn't at its peak yet.

In the past 3 days in Spain, there have been 2,240 deaths due to coronavirus. In their entire year of 2013, they had 1,923 deaths due to road deaths. So in 3 days they had more deaths than an entire year of driving deaths. Not trying to fear monger but thats just a reality, its clearly more dangerous than driving if you look at that stat.

Can you provide a source for him saying that? Would be funny for him to say that because the US currently shows a CFR above that.

US. 103,321 cases, 1,668 deaths. That is a rate of 1.6% case fatality rate (number of deaths divided by total number of confirmed cases). The swine flu's case fatality rate was nowhere near this high (the exact same measure, deaths/confirmed cases)

Those statistics I quoted aren't from the WHO either, they are straight from US government/health officials: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

Swine flu was different because it was a strain of the flu which we had some amount of immunity to. We haven't got any immunity to this. It had a case fatality rate which was a fraction of coronavirus.

I think its something like if 50% of the population gets it, then it would start to slow down as there are less new people available to get it. So obviously not infinite, but it will continue to spread exponentially until most people can't be infected. Its not just going to randomly stop if we don't try to stop it spreading

So you posted this 11 days ago.. and it was at '150k in 3 months'. Now it is at 650k. So in 3 months it grew by 150k, and then in 11 days after that it grew by 500k.

When you search 'Trump twitter' on google now it shows @POTUS as the top result instead of @realDonaldTrump, despite @realdonaldtrump being on the top of search ever since I can remember. Its always the way I check his twitter page. Wonder why they changed this

No they don't give any names lol. Dont tihnk any country give names of people who die in hospitals.

The official figures come from hospitals and health services. So they would have to be corrupted, which would be hard given that theres lots of staff working there who would say its BS. If the hospitals were empty and it was lies that they are full and people are dying, doctors and nurses who work across europe would call it out..

I fnd it hard to believe its a globalist plot to get trump out of office. How do you bribe polticians all around europe to agree to ruin their countries economy? Globalists ruining the global economy? It hurts everyone I would think.

Either way if you use US data only, the virus is still spreading exponetially.. And so are the deaths. Based purely off US data, you can estimate how many ACTUAL cases there are using the death count. Look at the death rate 1%, and say if 348 died, 34,800 (100 times 348) must have gotten it. The average time to die from it is 20 days, so that means 34,800 people had it 20 days ago, if 348 died today (it is even worse than this because many of the deaths are from further back). Then if its increasing exponentially at 1.3 times per day, it would be 6.6 million americans that have it RIGHT NOW. Hard to believe it, but thats not making any crazy assumptions.

Tom hanks is 63 and peter dutton is 49. Only 4% of 60 year olds die so it was unlikely he would be badly affected. Also, he is not overweight or smokes or heavily drinks, so he has good health.

Man... i know a lot of lies happen in todays age , especially with trump winning in 2016. They all want to dethrone him. But I do truly believe this is different. There have been plots before to start things like this and they didnt crush world economies around the world or come ANYWHERE near what this has caused. No economy in the world has survived this. Its basically as bad as 2008.

So you are saying all the numbers of cases and deaths are fake, and the lockdowns are done by governments (italy, spain, denmark, germany, france, UK, ireland, norway, poland, etc) to do what... to spread fear of the virus? why would they lockdown their countries and ruin their economies ? to get trump out of office?

I love how their slogan is 'demoracy dies in darkness' when they are completely and utterly biased towards liberals/leftists and never give bipartisan journalism which is what should happen in a democracy.

Either way I dont think it makes sense to say 'its the same as the flu' when italy is on track to hit 17k deaths in 6 weeks, when their flu deaths are 17k deaths in 52 weeks. Both death counts are in Italy, so they are comparative. Even if italy's healthcare system sucks, the flu deaths and covid19 deaths are both in the same healthcare system.

The italians did nothing to stop the spread so their healthcare system is overloaded. Thats why such a high percentage have died (also the average age in italy is old). If the US healthcare system is overloaded then our percentage will obviously rise too. Even if it stays at 1 pc though, if its spreading exponentially (as it currently is each day), that would be 1 percent of a very large number

Theres a vaccine for whooping cough though... makes it a million times easier to contain than something without a vaccine

The death count in italy is not a "spike" as you said, it is an exponential growth. There are 17k deaths due to flu PER YEAR in italy. If the Covid19 death count continues to increase at 15% (it most likely wont due to quarantine) per day in italy, the Covid19 death count will have surpassed the annual flu death count in 11 days time from now: 4,000(current deaths)×(1.15)^(11)=18,609 The rate of exponential growth will likely decrease due to the lockdown though.

That's not "media lies" it is basic maths of exponential growth using current death count and increase % per day.

At that rate, Italy covid19 deaths will have surpassed the yearly flu death count in only 1.5 months (first case 31st jamuary) and would still be increasing exponentially. This is again based on math, not MSM bullshit

The director general or head of the WHO is an Ethiopian politician.. Does nobody think that is strange? Ethiopia is a country completely ruined by political corruption..

This virus isnt a strain of the flu (influenza) it's a strain of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)

The deaths in the last week is not a spike though in the sense that a spike would decrease the period afterwards. It's an exponential curve so it will increase exponentially in the time period after if the situation stays the same. The deaths today in Italy was 627 which is higher than any other day so far.

Hopefully a lockdown of over 75s or over 60s would work as that wouldnt affect the economy as much. But if it just spreads wildly through the lower age group and they care for the elderly that might not work?
