Yes the Ruby Princess was a repeat offender but NSW Health gave it a clean bill of health regardless. ********s black shirts claim they had no responsibility when it comes to ships and I really honestly believe them NOT - I think they take lessons from China, just like their chief

And todays news about Border Farce - they knew for days before arrival a ship going to Fremantle had covid on board but did not tell Freo until now four days after it docked
And their previous boss says they were responsible for the Ruby Princess debacle

Minnesota report, May 25
cases 21,315**, recovered 14,816, hospitalized 2,676, deaths 881**, tested 204,059*/**
fatality rate 4.1%
mortality rate 154.6 per million
test rate 35.8 per thousand*
*Test kits and reagents are becoming more available, and Minnesota's ability to test is now more than 7,000 people/day. Testing of the general population is beginning in small numbers.
**The stay-at-home and shut down measures used by Minnesota have kept the potential rate of spread significantly below what it would have been without such measures. However, based on the hospitalization and death rates, the rate of spread is still increasing slightly with an approximate R factor of 1.035 new cases each day (ie the number of new cases each day is doubling every 20 days).

It seems we're led by a bunch of inept morons.

Things are slowly...slowly returning to normal because for the most part B.C. is listening to the expert. As of yesterday...
Still lacking in testing however
Well the US toppled 100,000 deaths so far...

Here in Australia we have two new cases with two months incubation if caught overseas and no indication of local infection. Scary

An interesting piece of information I ran across the other day.
For the 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic, in countries where detailed record keeping was possible, the following applied:
Average age of fatality was 28.
99% of deaths occurred in the under 65 age group.
People over the age of 65 had a 4% mortality rate.
People over the age of 75 had the lowest mortality rate.
For the current COVID-19 influenza pandemic, in Minnesota, the following applies:
Average age of fatality is 86 (median age is 83).
~1.5% of deaths are occurring in the under 50 age group, with a mortality rate of .1% (ie 1/10 of 1%)
98.5% of deaths are occurring in the over 50 age group.
People of the age 50-59 have a 1.3% mortality rate.
People of the age 60-69 have a 5% mortality rate.
People of the age 70-79 have a 15% mortality rate.
People of the age 80-89 have a 27% mortality rate.
People of the age 90-99 have a 36% mortality rate.
People of the age 100+ have a 43% mortality rate.

EDIT Doh! Should be 38 not 40, did the math wrong.

ThomasP,
Do you know if the new case totals for Minnesota include both viral and antibody tests results?

After working from home for well over a month, we finally get to work in office this coming Monday. I will miss sleeping in until 7:30 as opposed to getting up at 5:45 am.
There are plenty of people here who are continuing to work form home. Businesses have realised that people can be just as productive at home (at least for a couple of days a week).
I wouldn't want to be the owner of an office building at the moment. Companies closing, and those that are still operating are realising that by have people work form home half hte time, they don't need the same amount of office space.
Airlines have a similar worry - people have realised that they don't need to have as many face-to-face meetings: on-line can work just as well for some things. Business travel may not bounce back to what it was...
I think this virus will change the way we work and do business.
