I was officially released from quarantine yesterday - quarantine, mind you, not isolation. I wasn't even allowed to go shopping or take down the trash. My SO and our two kids still have to remain completely indoors for another 6 days.

My SO had herself tested on the very day I got my positive result. I got the result only 14 hours after taking the test (I was told that it took somewhere between 2 and 5 days), but in her case, she had wait much longer and had to ring the place up herself to get her results. She was tested negative, even though we share the same apartment, which is so small that isolation is impossible - so, given how contagious this virus is, she must have contracted it. Our symptomts were both fairly mild - as I wrote, loss of sense of smell, and something that maybe feels like a mild cold. We're both relatively young and healthy, and our infection wasn't much of a problem. Still, she got her negative result, and I'm fairly sure our two kids have contracted it as well. It seems possible that her infection took place before mine and has receded to a degree where it is no longer traceable. None of that will make it into the official statistics - that means 4 new cases, and only one among these that will count officially. Germany seems to hold up pretty well so far, and there is a lot of testing going on. But it's cases like this that make me wonder just how many infections still go undetected. |

use a random factor between 5 and 20 for total cases. The death numbers also are flawed, because different nations count differently, some only caused by corona directly, others also counting deaths due to the coincidence of corona present as well as another desease or cause - Germany does like this for example. Because the desease developes so fast that its presence is seen as a decisive factor even if technically tge death is due to another factor. Finally governments have their own motives to count death numbers low. For example the US death are assumed to be twice as high as the njmber says

That's really good to hear. Good for you, I bet that's a relief. Overall the rate of new reported infections has dropped dramatically, so we may be looking at better days. |

Do you think going out to eat will ever be the same again?
I don't think it will be the same at least at buffets like I use to go to where you could eat all you wanted all you had to do was get a clean plate. Family Buffet, Corral and all you can eat salad bars. My favorite was a nice Chinese place for lunch, but if you wanted it to go they would put everything in one big bucket container like Kentucky Fired Chicken had, which was kind of yucky by the time you got to the bottom. I see Pizza places someday having all booths instead of tables in the middle and salad bars and buffet's having employees that serve you behind a sneeze glass covering like the ice cream places have. Everything is going to change at the grocery store too. protection, protection, protection especially from law suits.

China reports no deaths for first time since crisis began.
There were 32 new cases in the country - all from overseas. In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in intensive care. He tested positive on 27 March but his condition has worsened. New cases in South Korea stay under 50 for second day in a row. NZ health minister calls himself an "idiot" for going to beach during lockdown.

Why we must switch our statistics to representative pooling.

There's an old maxim about searching for the truth in political matters:
I had suspicions there was a lees than altruistic or humanitarian or compassionate motivation behind Trump's aggressive touting of hydroxychloroquine and Trump, once again, does not disappoint; it is well known Trump does nothing nor advocate anything unless there is profit in it for him; with the health, well-being and, in many cases, the lives of those afflicted by Covid-19 at stake, Trump acts less like a compassionate leader and more like a venal Ferengi...
