    I think you need a test to find out. The zombie nasal swab PCR test.

    they are conducting a test at work today. everyone gets tested. no exceptions. ordered by the germans. facility closed from tomorrow until Monday, for "deep cleaning".

    it's stupidity to the max. then you have all employees going out over the weekend, hanging out with friends and family (who also have it if you have it, or just got it on Friday) and return "newly infected" on Monday, just to slip by the Temperature Measurement again, because no symptoms.
    of course, if the test returns positive, stay at home for 2 weeks. no word about false positives.

    As long as the 2 weeks is paid it sounds good to me :D

    My co workers got 8 weeks of paid FMLA for the positive Rona test, 2 months off for self isolation. Smh

    They could theoretically get up to 12 weeks at 2/3 pay. The FFCRA was put into play, ironically enough, on 4/1.

    Officially from CNN:

    welcome to page 2 in this thread


    CDC says Covid-19 death rate is under 1% for everyone but people over 70

    From CNN Health’s Maggie Fox

    The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday it had changed the way it was reporting death rates for coronavirus, and will now report the infection fatality ratio by age.

    It’s all still based on approximations, and as part of the update the CDC also estimates it’s missing most cases of coronavirus in the US -- by a factor of 11.

    According to the updated “best estimate” numbers posted on the agency’s website:

    • 0.003% of children 18 and younger who are infected with coronavirus die.
    • The fatality rate is 0.02% of people aged 20 to 49.
    • 0.5% of people aged 50 to 69.
    • 5.4% of people 70 and older.
    Transmission time: Under the best estimate scenario, it takes about six days, on average, for people to develop symptoms after they’ve been in contact with the virus.

    ICU care: Just below 24% of people under the age of 50 who are hospitalized will need ICU care, the CDC estimates. This rises to 36% of people 50 to 64, and 35% of people 65 and older.

    Fatality rate for those hospitalized:

    • About 2.4% of people ages 18 to 49 who are hospitalized die, the CDC estimates.
    • It rises to 10% of those 50 to 64 who are hospitalized.
    • And more than 26% of people over 65 who are hospitalized.
    Not only are the numbers an estimate, but reports of death rates lag by weeks, the CDC said. On average, it takes about 45 days for a coronavirus death to be reported.

    Asymptomatic cases: The CDC calculates that 40% of cases are asymptomatic, and that these people without symptoms are about 75% as infectious as people with symptoms, although this is “highly uncertain.”

    Infection fatality ratio is one of several ways of reporting mortality rates. It’s calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of actual infections -- and since the true number of coronavirus infections is not known, it is by necessity an estimate.

    And herein lies the truth. Undoubtedly a tremendous amount of people have probably been infected and showed no symptoms at all so no tests done. It stands to reason the infection fatality ratio is much lower than posted.

    Still relatively free of large numbers of hospitalized cases where I work on the south side of Chicago...
    I keep hoping this holds up this fall and winter.

    On the other hand, i caught up to a nursing home doctor the other day and he told me one nursing home had 30-40 covid + patients die out of 130 residents from the period of March to May.
