Coronavirus

Guardian said:
...discovery of the decisive role in the spread of the coronavirus epidemic of asymptomatic people. When the study began, on 6 March, there were at least 90 infected in Vò. For days now, there have been no new cases. “We were able to contain the outbreak here, because we identified and eliminated the ‘submerged’ infections and isolated them...

One Italian town found the secret. Test everybody to find out who is infected, and quarantine just them. To do that you need to be able to build a lot of tests, reagents, and swabs though.

You don't have to quarantine everybody in the country, just those who are infected for a few weeks. Where are the tests?
 
That chloro-whateveryoucallit stuff was mentioned by the president today...
Malaria chemotherapy drug is going to be allowed to be proscribed as compassionate use...
But be warned...side effects are :
Side effects from the drug include muscle problems, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and skin rash, while more serious ones include problems with vision and muscle damage, according to the American Society of Pharmacists.

That doesn't sound too good.

So we shall see what happens.

That should be adjusted to the South Korean model of using Hydroxychloroquine......less side effects.

The coronavirus is likely to present a year-long war of attrition. While our medical professionals are putting out heroic efforts, no one can work around the clock indefinitely. Doctors, nurses, technicians, support staff and even hospital janitors are highly vulnerable to this virus and will become exhausted and sick right when they’re needed most.

If its not properly dealt with, 19 could zap more Americans that WWI and WWII did combined. We are short of supplies, and health care workers. We need to start a war time economy to produce needed supplies/meds, and train extra medical personnel to deal with this crisis. We can defeat this foe invading America, but only if we fight it to our utmost ability.

Of all the cases in Tennessee (most are in Nashville itself)...we have only 2 in the hospital. Mostly as a precaution. All others are quarantined at home.

This seems to affect older people more so than younger. There's of course research going into why this is.

But the young people are the carriers as they travel about as if nothing is going on. Mild symptoms and everything. They barely notice they are sick.

*Sigh*

California may be shut down but NY has the most cases and it isn't shutting down.

Some don't notice at all, because they have no symptoms. Testing everyone is the only way to identify carriers. The best way to eliminate new infections. At least it worked in the town of Vo. We need to manufacture tests already.

We made an interesting finding: at the time the first symptomatic case was diagnosed, a significant proportion of the population, about 3%, had already been infected – yet most of them were completely asymptomatic. Our study established a valuable principle: testing of all citizens, whether or not they have symptoms, provides a way to control this pandemic.

Well here it is the first official day of spring and now that it's finally here I didn't realize that I would be so depressed. At least it's sixty degrees outside, but why couldn't the Coronavirus have come when it was still winter and you couldn't really get out of your house and do much of anything anyways? :sad




Looks like the latest news is that somebody recently passed away that was a few years older than me. Of course I'm not worried because number one I'm a child of God, and number two,.. it looks like he had a number of other health problems that I never had. Still, my thoughts and prayers go towards his friends and family members. :pray
