Covid-19

Things are getting out of hand here at work! A CNC guy took vacation to Iceland and returned today and the company told him to go home and call in next Monday to see if he could com back to work! He wasn't sick he went out of the country and came back. Oh boy

  • I don't want to sound paranoid, but if you do the math... it's a real concern. Millions could die by the time a vaccine is figured out.

    Models are predicting a 75% infection rate globally.
    As an example, within the USA= 360million population.
    Of the 360million: 51 million are over 60 years of age.
    If 75% of these high-risk seniors contract the disease, and at the projected percentages of deaths for those age groups, anywhere from
    Death Rate of 60-69 year olds= 3.6% applied to the whole population of over 60 = 1,377,000 potential deaths
    Death rate of 80+ year olds= 14.8% applied to whole population of over 60 = 5,660,000 potential deaths
    This is just in the USA

    Do YOU know anyone who is over 60, or has preexisting conditions like Diabetes, Heart conditions, high blood pressure, lung/respriatory issues (like COPD)? Tell them to isolate like their life depends on it, as it likely does.
