Coronavirus

The problem with those mortality figures is, as you state, there's nowhere near enough testing being done yet. In the UK, those with symptoms or who think they have symptoms, are being asked to stay at home and basically only phone for an ambulance if they are at the point where they can't breathe. Testing is only being carried out in hospitals. There are estimates going round that as many as 50-75% of people infected may be asymptomatic, so the only way we're going to get reasonably accurate mortality rates is if, once this is over, large numbers are tested to see if they have had the virus.

FWIW, the Diamond Princess Cruise ship works as a great case study because it's one place where we know there was 100% exposure to the virus, and apparently 27% of the passengers proved to be completely asymptomatic, which is quite high, but obviously not nearly as high as 50-75%

Yea it's been interesting, but I'm done with it now. Everywhere is acting like the sky is falling, but all the businesses have drive through...??? It's weird. Even gamestop has a to order service where they bring it to your car now.

Apparently someone ratted out Gamestop and they too had to close.

What a pity BostonBad has disappeared...

Tracey Kiss, 32, reckons ingesting her boyfriend's sperm everyday - either "directly", or as part of a smoothie will see her through the pandemic.

Interesting, thanks. Any link to where that figure came from?

UK under lockdown.
The upside is surely onlfans and manyvids will go through the roof.
there's a girl who is even offering free vids for NHS workers - Sandy Paige.

On the upside, she won't starve!

Pretty weird thing here, my friend who is in the adult friendship biz told me two weeks ago that her biz was suffering pretty bad, down 50%, with regulars postponing the most visits. She started using Grindr and her business is back with mostly 20 and 30 year old guys... younger population maybe feels immune to this the reason? She asks them to wash hands, but thats about all she can do to minimize risk. She is thinking of getting on with the huge amazon hire here as companies will be upping wages to keep at risk workers and she says she can get unemployment after the eventual layoffs and go back to school. Might be a silver lining eventually.

Older people are over-represented on cruises though, so that figure might not be accurate for the general population.
