    Above page and map are from the John Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center.

    If you click on any of the countries listed on the left hand side of the map, then the data and the plot on the right hand side swap to that country's data.

    Click on the "Admin" bar below the country list and for some selected countries state/province data is shown.

    Financial Times Global Graph... Pretty straightforward... more than a little scary...

    Graph shows rates of rise for all countries reporting cases.

    Kinsa is a maker of digital thermometers that upload your data thru an app on your smart phone to their site.

    A week or so ago they launched a map showing the nationwide data. They actually held up its release for a week because the data it was showing was predicting majot outbreaks in and around NYC and across Florida. At the time both areas had fairly low case counts... and then they did.

    Kinsa has an algorithm that scrubs historical cold and flu trends from the data to produce its "Atypical" fever map. You can select the Atypical mode by clicking on it in the upper, right corner of the map.

    You have to scroll down to see the map.

    Except, they had like a 6.5  in Idaho just yesterday or the day before.

    But what is much less:   pollutants in the air. 

  • Talking about background vibrations, Gip... not earthquakes.

    Article talks about this opportunity for seismologists to study low intensity tremors and ability to improve predictions of quakes and eruptions during this period.

    Silver lining for sure..... kind of like when your house burns down and you don't have to vacuum it any more. 

  • None of the famous who "got it" have become sick. 

    Correction: Tony Boselli needed hospitalized and he said he was really sick, like near death. He said he can't see anyone surviving that was old and/or with precondition lung illness. But is wife experienced almost no ailments, who also tested positive. Tony has now been discharged and seems over it.

    Interesting.  Less planes taking off and landing, less road traffic, etc.  Wouldn't have thought we had that much of an affect on the mother ship.  I would assume that the animals' senses would be more keen also.

    Who knows, without the COVID 19 slow down, it may have only registered 4.8.

    It’s been awhile...Easter 2010 almost 10 years ago we had pretty good one.  I was in a Bookstore and just missed a couple top shelf hardbacks.

    They initially Said exercise and going outside is fine so everyone congregated to the parks!!!  They closed those Monday- finally.  Loads of people complaining about the lack of testing but they aren’t even taking social distancing seriously.  Stay away from people it is pretty simple.

    NYC has seen same and so is trying an approach of blocking off streets and turning them into pedestrian ways to give folks the room to spread out. Traffic has been light to non-existent so worth a shot.

    Also saw yesterday where some grocery stores have taped stripes on their floors that are 6' apart to remind customers and show what spacing looks like.

    How curious. In Spain and other countries we are using taped stripes that are 2 meters apart (6' 9''). 

    If the crisis ends up being worse in the US, we can call out your measuring system. 

    Checkmate, Imperial System! Metric will always be better. ?

    PS: Spain is a mess (mostly Madrid) but I have no ill relatives and we're fine. Take care ya"ll 😉

    Yes it has been since March 15th. Some people like me started the quarantine 4-5 days earlier. 

    Spain may end up being the most damaged country in the world if we don't stop the trend, thanks to a very old population and stupid politicians. 

    Health masks and ventilators coming to our country (and already paid) have been confiscated in Turkey and USA, which doesn't help the matter either.

    The metric system was invented by the French Revolutionaries,  who would cut off your head if you didn't adhere.  Fuck that.

    And besides....the metric system gives European  McDonald's the opportunity to cheat on the size/weight of their "Royale"  burger.  Here it has to be a Quarter Pounder...and the Bureau of weights and measures holds them to that.  so fuck the metric system for that reason as well.    😛
