Of course I didn't go back to Commerce in February. Why would I have done that?
I will admit that I didn't take the social distancing thing nearly as seriously as I do now, but almost nobody did at the time. However, I did quit Commerce on the day Kobe died (memorable day obviously). That was the last time I was there. Said I wasn't going back until this was all over, and stuck to it.
I knew this was a serious matter, that people were going to die, and that I was at least at semi-risk due to my age (I didn't know about the blood pressure thing yet.)
this raises a counterpoint. if jobs and entertainment venues are shut down, there would be far less car accidents and other things that come from mass interactions of people. even ordinary viruses like the flu would be far less transmitted so maybe comparing death rates is meaningless
A lot of the frail older people that died from this probably wouldn't have died this year, but they would have definitely died in the next 5 or so. My maternal grandparents both passed away in the last 2 years at age 88/89. it was a pretty gradual decline from age 80 on. No way they would have survived this if they had gotten it the last 5 years. This will definitely do some weird stuff to the year over year death rates, where it may spike for a couple years, but future years might have pretty big dips.

I said I wasn't going to go back to the casinos around the same time as Druff, but wasn't disciplined and went to the Bike twice in late February anyways. I got sick from it too, but the symptoms were generic cold symptoms AND no one around me got sick, so I just don't see it being COVID. And to add to the indignity I lost pretty handily both sessions.
This has been especially tricky to get hard data on with HIPPA. I know in my state the average age of hospitalization has been 61 and 10% of my 45-54 bracket have died if they need admitted. All information is real general if family doesn’t release it or is on social media. I’m seeing so many middle aged people it feels like because they’re more likely to be a part of that world than an elderly sick person.
I assume many older closer to death people are already in places where moving them isn't easy and they die before anyone realizes what’s up. Also those dying at home. If you’re in hospice you aren’t likely going to ER. There are a lot more elderly deaths than being counted, but not a huge deal because they were going to imminently die. . The obit section is larger than normal. Not enough local deaths to account for 5 extra pages. The first wave kills you if you’re really imminently on the way out. They don’t need it to progress to kill them like even a healthyish 80 year old does. Spike 104 if you’re already teetering and sayonara.
I respected your request to not post in the $1.5 million net worth thread because I don't have that much $$ (depending on how you do the math), but now you are telling me you got the full stimulus. Which makes me think probably you shouldn't have been posting in your thread either.
Thank god for online poker.Live sucks for multiple reasons. Too slow and too many dirty people sitting too close to eachother.
I was at the shoe in hammond one time I saw a guy eating an italian beef sandwich at the table that was drenched in juice once he finished he went ahead and licked every single finger and thumb clean
The only good thing to come out of this mess for me is online poker is booming.
Booming like it's 2010
Yeah. It seems the real tragedy numbers wise is going to be the large group of 50-60 somethings that are obese and have health issues, but would still probably have had another 10-15 years of fairly high quality life with the right medication. 10% of this group dying is a lot of expected high quality human life cut short.
I definitely wonder what live poker tables are going to look like when the casinos reopen. Are they just going to go back to 9 people crammed together tightly? Will they require masks and gloves? Will they disallow eating at the table?
I should probably look into online poker again. Haven't even thought about it in 10 years.
