Questioning my own assumptions

Per WA DOH, https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/Coronavirus Confirmed Cases / Deaths by Age

Age Group Percent of Cases Percent of Deaths
0-19 2% 0%
20-39 27% 1%
40-59 34% 7%
60-79 26% 38%
80+ 10% 55%
Unknown 1% 0%
I'd been relying on the high communicability figure of COVID. It's the "fact" that seems to have varied the least over time. However, looking at 0-19 cohort having only 2% of cases, yet also a group that spends huge amounts of time in close contact with others, maybe it isn't as contagious.




Or, perhaps, they just don't get symptoms worthy of testing, and I was even righter, as I always tend to be.

    Yep, way more immunity out there than anyone realizes. 90% sure I had this back in late January. I want my gold star to carry on.

    School age kids would be an interesting group for pseudo-random antibody testing.

    For STD's or the Covid?

    Oh, another thing I was right about, the adverse outcomes of mass amounts of kids out of school and possibly unsupervised will be greater than the risk of in-school COVID exposure.

    I’m hearing all the amazon delivery strikers are about to get replaced with 13yos on bikes

    They shut down playgrounds here, which actually does make some sense.

    Is N95 Mask Shaming a thing down there yet? It is in Seattle. The Most Nukeable city in the US.

    I was in Fry's (supermarket) and about 35 percent have masks. I don't own a mask and I'm not going to buy one.

    The long distance woman I was screwing who lives somewhere in SW WA wore some ridiculous mask with Indian feathers on it to the store. She scoffed when I suggested her daughter could have a couple of friends over for the birfday party. How careless of me. Even Jay allows that.
    When the country is 50 million short, or something like that, it's really important for ugly, unattractive Seattle people with bad teeth and breath to lecture people wearing a mask about how doctors need them all and wearing one is killing someone else's loved one.

    Yes. This City has people that fucking Stupid.
