News Coronavirus Thread

[Wayne Campbell]

People will wear two weeks of zero.

Then they'll wear two more if they get to watch stories about the footy players training, and see the players training

Worth a rewatch just for that scene.

 

[Snake_Baker]

A trickle now.

 

[ferball]

Both of these would be remedied by autonomous vehicles wouldn't they?

I wouldn't trust an autonomous vehicle on these roads.

Maybe eventually.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

A trickle now.

Local eradication is a real possibility.

with each solution come new problems, in the case of an accident who is culpable for example? the manufacturer, the software vendor? the owner?

 

[Only Forwards]

with each solution come new problems, in the case of an accident who is culpable for example? the manufacturer, the software vendor? the owner?

I'd suggest that this problem would be sorted out after the first serious accident. Precedent set and argument sorted.


I don't have the reddit thread on hand but I recall reading a comparison on a million miles driven by humans vs by autonomous vehicles and the autonomous vehicles were safer.


So accidents will still happen, it'll be less than they do now.

I envisage subscription services for fleets of autonomous vehicles.

People will only own cars for leasure.

Very informative video today out of Melbourne Uni. At just over an hour long, I suspect most will decide against watching, but it brings together four experts; one who explains the modelling of "the curve" in lay terms, the head of the Doherty Institute (working on a vaccine / treatment), one of Australia's foremost economics professors, who assesses the expected economic impact and explains the mechanics of governments' stimulus packages (his Skype was playing up, though) and a historian who has worked on large scale historic disasters, including but not limited to pandemics.

leasure and work i would say , cant see autonomous vehicles floating heavy earth-moving equipmet round, especially when they drive on and off roads that may not be on navigator databases like delivering plant to a new building site. agree as commuters on surveyed roads/routes its a lot more feasable.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

An absolute crawl.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

So, your assumption that the States are overestimating numbers is wrong

I didn't say that.

I showed the CDC's own document which plainly states that the mortality 'coding' the have now put in place will, in their own words, lead to people being classed as dying from covid when covid is merely 'assumed' to be a 'contributing' factor.

You have provided zero evidence to contradict that.

Found about New Zealand, probably relevant.

The irony being that that graph is no less scientific than the primary school tier bullshit 'graphs' we are being shown on the news about the 'flatten the curve' mantra.

Most people's understanding of statistics is so utterly woeful that they will confuse cartoons featuring unlabeled axes with real science.

sorry, what exactly do you believe is the purpose of this conspiracy?

 

[mouncey2franklin]

I don't think I have written about any conspiracies on this board.

The document I referred to earlier is from the CDC themselves.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/coronavirus/Alert-2-New-ICD-code-introduced-for-COVID-19-deaths.pdf

Which part of this is too difficult for yourself and others to understand here?

Has the 24/7 onslaught of doom-news turned your brains to mush?

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Really? I didn't realise "nerd" was the term for sharing expert information.

Whatever - I hope you learn something from it.

Right, so you just want to point out CDC’s method for classification?

Cool, thanks for the heads up, but I think it is pretty irrelevant in the context of a global pandemic

They’re great numbers. Well done Aussies

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

They’re great numbers. Well done Aussies

Tassie had 11 again. Time to withdraw the drawbridge.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I reckon we’re going to see a big drop in active cases in the next few days as about two weeks ago is when the large increases were occurring.

They’re always a bit behind to be fair

Less and less people returning from overseas too.
