Coronavirus

The fakestream media has cried wolf too many times and lost all credibility. Why would I believe what the media is saying and take all this stuff seriously. It's too late. Don't lie and be fake so much otherwise you will never be trusted.

Promising treatments are being developed in other countries.

Very good news indeed.

Goodbye freedom of religious gatherings. The government has now banned indoor gatherings of 100 people or more. No more church's, mosques, temples, and synagogue gatherings. Preety much every religious gathering is 100 or more even a small church.

And of course it does not make sense because it does not apply to schools, workplaces, supermarkets and public transport so it's not exactly going to to stop the spread of crap is it.

Whats next, the right to peaceful assembly?. I seen this coming a long time ago, they always need an excuse and corona is perfect.

Once the government bans something good luck ever getting it overturned and a big enough issue for politicians to talk about. They say "short term" so when does the ban end?

100 or more people are not allowed to go to church and pray together for corona healing because the government said so. The world has no faith and trust in God, only government that are just human beings.

Like post-9/11, I'm sure things will snap back to not-quite-normal again. Until the next, worse thing happens.

Next time, if the government gets to control the TV you watch and the internet you surf while you are holed up--now that's worse.

Now they're saying dogs can catch/spread COVID-19.

Now they're saying dogs can catch/spread COVID-19.

Theyve gone barking mad!

First the first time in history we are shutting the boarders to everyone except citizens and residents.

Maybe China should have shut it's boarder first immediately rather than silencing reporters and critics.

Austria bans gathering of more than 5 people. What if people have a family of 6. A couple with 4 children. Is it a family game of paper, rock, scissor who's getting kicked out.

 

[Corn Pop]

40,000 charged for being in public space. The authorities are going to be busy, that's alot of paper work.

Fell sorry for the family of deceased and the priest, not even allowed to have a funeral and bury there loved one. Banned. Not even allowed to bury a loved one, what do they do.

I always said this is one-upmanship. First it was gatherings of 250 people. Then someone said, "ooh, I can do one better"--and ban gatherings of 50 people. Then someone could do better than that and it's 10. Then it's 5.

Pretty soon we'll have to start cutting people in half. Gatherings of 1 are not allowed.

Now they're saying dogs can catch/spread COVID-19.

Looks like all of this goes back to one dog in Hong Kong who died at age 17.

The super rich are searching and buying their own and hiring live-in doctors.

With good reason.

From the CDC report:

An estimated 14.3–20.8% of those from age 20–44 required hospitalization.

20.5–30.1% of those from age 55–64.

28.6–43.5% of those from age 65–74.

This thing is even sending a lot of youngsters to the hospital. Most youngsters survive it with the help of ventilators and such, but some of them have permanent damage from 19. This isn't like getting the regular flu. People haven't been exposed to it before, so they don't have any antibodies at all ready to combat it. It takes some people time for immune systems to ramp up for something never before experienced.

The super rich tend to be older, and a lot of the elderly need a ventilator and doctor to get through it. If ventilators were inexpensive, many non rich would buy one and keep it at home to care for their families if the hospitals got full. In Italy, hospitals are turning away the elderly, because they don't have room for them.

Im on my own at work, and I go fishing at the dock everyday after work, I never go to any gatherings because people annoy me, so I guess i self isolate most of the time anyhow.

In the USA...
We have almost 10,000 infected but only 64 in the hospital...
That's good news so far. Look at Italy, look at France...we are going to be just fine.

 

[Michael74]

Among 508 (12%) patients known to have been hospitalized...

The shortage of test kits may have kept the numbers artificially modest. As more people are tested, the numbers should become more reliable.

 

[Michael74]

Then again, maybe they won't ramp testing as quickly as expected. They are low on nasal swabs, and the main factory is in one of Italy's super infected regions.

First the tests didn't work right. Then they couldn't test because labs didn't have reagents, and now they can't test because they are almost out of swabs.

That will affect Europe...not necessarily America. Our comes from a variety of sources.
Q-tip ain't stopped production yet.

Cotton comes from America and Brazil.
Paper and wood comes from everywhere in North America...plastic comes from Canada.

Everywhere is connected to everywhere.

Q-tip ain't stopped production yet.

The nasopharyngeal swabs required for the coronavirus tests are quite different from your standard Q-tips...

Its affecting some US hospitals now. Masks are now in such short supply that the CDC has told health care workers doing the tests to use bandannas or scarves over their mouths for their protection.

 

[Michael74]

China reports that no new domestic cases have been detected. They did a good job locking it down partly by giving everyone masks to wear in public. Italy is expected to surpass China today, reporting hundreds of people zapped each day.
