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 --- End quote --- You are still trying to compare apples with oranges. That is the nonsense part in your posting. This is not some kind game. Projected deaths for the US are currently somewhere between 60k and 80k by August this year. The Corona virus has not dissapeared by then. The bottom line is that the majority of the world's population will become infected at some point. Depending on the measures a country takes this will go faster or slower. When slowed down enough fewer people will die due to lack of medical care. But don't take my word for it: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/08/politics/what-matters-april-8/index.html Read what the (real) experts say. And they say social distancing is going to be necessary for a very long time. It is not like you can social distance for a few weeks and go back to normal. It doesn't work that way. |

Surely they could be operating still, the 1950s drive-in movie and diner options are ideally suited for the current situation. --- End quote --- There's a drive-in theater about a five minute drive from my house. It's currently closed. I would have thought the owners would close the snack bar but keep the theater open, but that's not the case--the whole operation is closed for the duration. I don't know if this was a choice on the part of the owners, or a government mandate. Even with the snack bar closed, people tend to get out of their cars and mingle, so perhaps this had some effect on the decision to close. |

There are 50 states in the USA, and most of them individually have the size, population, economies and governments of countries, and most of the major health decisions are actually being made at the state level, not the federal level. Comparing any individual country in Europe to the USA is like comparing any state in the USA to the entirety of Europe. You're taking a single entity and comparing it to the average of a large collection of entities. Simply not a fair comparison, even if you manage to adjust for virus timelines in progress somehow. Now if you want to compare to individual states, that's another matter. Looking at cases per million population, Switzerland (population 9 million, 2997 cases/million) is doing WAY better than New York State (population 20 million, 10307 cases/million), and WAY worse than California (population 40 million, 624 cases/million). Not to mention that ALL the data is subject to adjustment, likely upward, as testing volume improves. Or much later simply by counting the actual death rate compared the normal death rate. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ |

Another ball game. --- Quote from: 2N3055 on April 14, 2020, 06:42:17 pm --- Catalyst 9600 Series switches are a bit too much for my home network.. ^-^ --- End quote --- Mine too, so am only upgrading from 4948 to 4500X, to get 10GigE for a few select links, to servers and between switches... :-DD On-topic question; what would be an established level where you'd upgrade a PNI to another provider? In normal times, that is. We're not normal now. I seem to recall 70% of capacity measured as 5 minute average being a common threshold in Sweden, and I've been told not every market think they can afford that. |

I looked at Cisco 926 ISR for personal use TBH and though hell no I'm not paying that money :-DD Going back a few years I had a 2600 with ADSL WIC in it as my core router. Also had an Ultra 60. No longer! Can't be arsed with that shit. Give me something cheap and simple. |
