Title: Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA] COVID-19 and WISPAmerica
Why must we assume Italy is going to be then normal.  This virus is in or has been in 121 countries.  Several of those countries have had it before Italy has had its first.  By far Italy on a percentage basis is the worst case.  I don't think it is fair to declare everyone one is going to end up like Italy.  Why is Italy so bad?  Could it be the weather?  Could it be something genetic in their DNA?  Could it be the large amount of tourist moving though the country?  Could it be the locals do more cash transactions than other countries?  Could it be they almost french kiss each other with every hello or good bye?  Many, many, many factors.  But just to assume everyone is going to turn out like Italy is just part of the fear mongering.

It seems to me that the number of deaths and critical cases is a lot more meaningful than the total reported cases... all that really tells you is that lots of people were or weren't tested in a particular country. I don't have any idea what's actually going on in Italy as far as testing, buy judging by the number of deaths and critical cases, I'd guess that they've tested far fewer people that other countries where it's widespread and the death rate is much lower.

Yup great site josh!  We are about 9 days behind Italy.  

The cases grow exponentially every day and what will happen is our hospitals have no surge capacity.  20% of the people who get it will need ICU level of care.  There isn’t capacity for that unless we flatten the curve.  The same number of people will probably get the virus, the difference will be that our health care system can handle the load if it is stretched over time.

Social distancing is the only way to flatten the curve.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m sorry folks but this conference really should be canceled for the safety of everyone.

Thank you to Sonar For their brave decision yesterday to pull out.

I know this would be a hardship for WISPA’s finances so I think we should all pull together to make sure WISPA doesn’t suffer financially.  We need WISPA and our members to be healthy and strong both physically and financially.
