--- Quote from: nctnico on April 14, 2020, 04:30:18 pm ---Nonsense. It is general knowledge that the infection numbers say nothing because they depend on the amount of testing done. And not every country is testing to the same extend. The number of hospitalisations is a much better indicator. --- End quote --- You're right about that. It's still very hard to get useful numbers as to the number of infected people in most countries. Also, we need to take a look at the numbers on a larger time frame. Published day-to-day numbers vary a lot depending on many factors and do not reflect any trend per se, they mainly reflect how each country reports them. And it's not an easy task. As to Switzerland and the number of cases over the total population, the figures are available. Switzerland has a total of 2,997 cases/per 1 million people, which is actually higher than Italy. But Switzerland also has a ratio of tests/1M people of 22,993 - one of the highest ratios. |

Placing everyone under house arrest is unnecessary, it's not the ONLY way. For countries that have gone that way, now the question is how do you roll it back. --- End quote --- I'm not exactly sure that Switzerland is a shining example. For a tiny country with a tiny population (8.6M) they still have 26,000 cases. I'm pretty sure if you do the math, you'll find the infection rate per 1000 people is higher in Switzerland than it is in the USA (which isn't exactly a example of how to do things). Countries that have adopted early, wide-spread stay at home orders have done much better. --- End quote --- Nonsense. ..... --- End quote --- OK, you don't like testing numbers, how about fatalities ? Switzerland is still not a shining example; with infection and death rates higher than the USA. Saying it's nonsense is just stupid Deaths: Switzerland 1,162, population 8.6M = 135/M USA 23,709, population 328M = 72/M |

I understand that southern Europe's been another level of crazy. When Telecom Italia opens for settlement-free peering with anyone, you know there's a crisis and a biggun' at that... To get an Oceanic perspective on that; it's as if Telstra whould start giving things away... |

The only problem we’ve seen from people is actually their WiFi to their home offices being shit. It’s difficult to get from a problem of “outlook doesn’t work” to “your WiFi is shit because you’re 20m away from the lowest bidding router you could get with three large kitchen appliances between you and it”. Then when you mail them an Ethernet cable it turns into a nightmare from hell getting them to set that up. Usually because they break the tab off the RJ45 and it spends all day falling out. Or they’ve got 11 kids on Netflix 4K on virgin media and contention galore. Most issues are human. Incidentally my internet connection is ok as of 12:00 today. I suspect there was an exchange issue. |

Catalyst 9600 Series switches are a bit too much for my home network.. ^-^ |
