The seas, lakes and oceans are now pluming deadly hydrogen sulfide and suffocating methane. Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic water-soluble heavier-than-air gas and will accumulate in low-lying areas. Methane is slightly more buoyant than normal air and so will be all around, but will tend to contaminate our atmosphere from the top down. These gases are sickening and killing oxygen-using life all around the world, including human life, as our atmosphere is increasingly poisoned. Because both gases are highly flammable and because our entire civilization is built around fire and flammable fuels, this is leading to more fires and explosions. This is an extinction level event and will likely decimate both the biosphere and human population and it is debatable whether humankind can survive this event.
A. More fires and more explosions, especially along the coasts, but everywhere generally.
B. Many more animal die-offs, of all kinds, and especially oceanic species.
C. More multiples of people will be found dead in their homes, as if they'd dropped dead.
D. More corpses found in low-lying areas, all over the world.
E. More unusual vehicular accidents.
F. Improved unemployment numbers as people die off.

2020-05-26 - Study indicates COVID-19 death rate among those who show symptoms is 1.3%:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200518144915.htm
Quote: "Is COVID-19 more deadly than the flu? It's a lot more deadly, concludes a new study by the University of Washington published May 7 in the journal Health Affairs. The study's results also project a grim future if the U.S. doesn't put up a strong fight against the spread of the virus. The national rate of death among people infected with the novel coronavirus -- SARS-CoV-2 -- that causes COVID-19 and who show symptoms is 1.3%, the study found. The comparable rate of death for the seasonal flu is 0.1%."
Note: That seems about right. An average flu season kills about 37,000 people in the US, although CONFIRMED flu cases is less than half of that. COVID-19's already killed almost 3 times as many people as an average flu year, including unconfirmed flu deaths, and it's done it in 4 months, with 8 months left to go for the first full year. Seeing as the standard flu has a mortality rate of between 0.1% and 0.2%, and COVID-19 is killing people at about 8 times the rate that the flu kills people, the 1.3% mortality rate lines up pretty well. If the average pace of deaths for the first 4 months extends across the next eight months then COVID-19 will have killed around 300,000 people in the US in the first year. That'd be surprisingly close to being on par with the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu, which killed 675,000 people in the US over TWO years. Maybe it won't be that bad. But the number of infections is still rising in 20 states AND people are now letting down their guard in states where the infection count is declining, so who knows. Time will tell!

2020-05-26 - Study finds masks significantly useful in curtailing spread of COVID-19:
http://www.ktvu.com/news/wearing-a-face-mask-can-reduce-coronavirus-transmission-by-up-to-75-percent-study-says
http://fightcovid19.hku.hk/hku-hamster-research-shows-masks-effective-in-preventing-covid-19-transmission/
Quote: "They found that when the mask was placed over the infected cage the infection rate dropped to just over 15 percent. That infection rate went up to 33 percent when the mask barrier was only used to cover the healthy hamsters’ cage. With no mask barriers at all, roughly two-thirds of the healthy hamsters were infected with the virus within a week, the study found."
Note: This may be the first study where they tested transmission of COVID-19 specifically rather than just generic droplets or aerosols. So it works best if those who are infected wear masks, it's half as effective if only the healthy wear masks, and if nobody wears masks then it spreads really fast. So if you're healthy and you don't want to be infected and you're near someone who IS infected, your odds of getting infected are lowest if THEY wear a mask, those odds double if only YOU wear a mask, and for the best odds of all of not getting infected, you both wear a mask. Also, now we know that hamsters may be COVID-19 carriers so avoid hamsters!
