Discussion Coronavirus (Covid-19) Megathread

[Carina]

I know what you mean ;) But those were just 'buds' . The 80s teenagers seen it all before , but the change is amazing .

I'll be more precise:

• if you were born in 1975, when you were 8 years old (1983) you were more likely to go outside and play rather than sit 6 hours on the computer. Gaming was very primitive and computers were scarce -- only 10% of households.
• If you were born in 1985, when you were 8 years old (1993), computer games become abundant and that industry was booming. Many children spent hours on the computer. Around 40% of households had a computer.

I had a computer when i was like 6-8 lol. Slow... I have a calculator with more memory, but still lol. I was an anomaly probably. even given the graph

But still, at home I have my mom. Even after I do have people I can call.... but even I don't know what i'd do if my contact was limited so much that I had basically none.

I have basically none and believe me, it sucks big-time. I've always been introvertish but not a hermit, and that was okay. But this whole thing has made me aware of the paucity of people in my life, a corner I have somehow painted myself into. No family, no friends and it has been weeks since I have seen or talked to another person, even in passing. I gather that others would be envious of not having to cope with live-in others, but I sit here in my condo wondering what's the point? Not a good place for someone with suicidal ideation to be. Thanks for listening to my rant.

@Quarky00 @GoodPersonEffed I am from Eastern Europe, one of the former USSR country. Generation "X" is not an official name, it can be named "X" because this is an implication of a lost generation. A kind of generation which is stuck on the crossroad. It has nothing common with real generation X. The population of former USSR countries started falling in early 90s and growth started falling rapidly in late 80s. And in early 90s growth turned negative.

Got you . Sorry for misunderstanding And thanks for explaining! Birth At times the state of affairs in parts of Eastern Europe seem so dim and gloomy...

Well calling 90s children Gen-X -- that suits the Soviets -- 20 years late as usual! (Just joking;)

Same! I'm a two 1400's love child .. Born with punch card in my mouth lol

Snap, it was a Commodore 16+.

It's only recently I found out just how expensive they were back then, makes me appreciate my Mam even more as she/we were poor at the time. It'd be like buying a 7 year old a Mac Pro now.

I've been inspired by the recent posters to create the ultimate Corona graph! By my calculations this shit is fucked!

You missed out the R number expected in Tanzania, apart from that it's excellent. I like how you explained the infection rate so concisely in that bit behind the orange bit as well as hiding the coordinates to a secret sanctuary.

I agree, made me chuckle too. I'd have posted to Trump if I were still on Twitter, he would probably retweet it like he does so many booby traps he gets sent. Or, claim it as his own work while saying how great it is and how surprised experts in graphology are that he's such a genius.

@Brick In The Wall's graph was awesome, but this creative comment that it inspired makes me seriously laugh every time I see it.

New global studies are finding a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and mortality rates.

Great idea, locking all the population in their houses.
