We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Yeah will be interesting if the UK government forces private hospitals to release beds and resources to deal with the situation if things really go off the charts. I'd imagine nothing is out of the question in that situation as it would basically be wartime measures. Even talks of newly retired doctors being brought back yesterday. Let's hope the containment strategy stops it getting that far.
Talk to your doctor. I am also on immunosuppressants, and I not changing anything until I talk to my rheumatologist on the 10th. We just have to stress to our friends and family that they HAVE to help us out here and wash their fucking hands
It's not like the common cold or the flu, and people have been saying so for a while. That being said, a lot of the response is due to this being an unknown disease that we are still learning about, and since it's the first time everyone is coming into contact with it it's taxing the medical infrastructure greatly. If it was a slower rollout, it would be much less severe, which is why containment measures are being applied, to slow down the spread enough to give the medical system time to learn and work through the sick.
The mortality is not rising. The amount of people who die is, but not the ratio. In the case of WA, it's a combination of Trump's government's incompetence in responding to the disease and it hitting a nursing home which has the demographic group that is most at risk for the disease.
This is not just a cold. It's a virus that is much more deadly than the flu. Of course a lot of people are dying and getting sick. Please follow the thread for more information.
Most private hospitals are not going to have intensive care though and I guess what will be needed would be for those seriously ill.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna link up with her ASAP. Too many morons out there coughing with their mouth open or not washing their hands. All this has made me painfully aware of it.
This isn't Resident Evil. Calm down. It's 6 people because it spread in a nursing home. Literally the most vulnerable people.
Honestly don't see any scenario in which Boris asks a private anything to help out.

Afaik everybody with "no symptoms" shows symptoms eventually. They just hadnt started showng symptoms yet when they tested positive, because you can have the virus up to 2-3 weeks before showing symptoms.
Anyone have the percentage of mortality rate based on Age Group? Both my Parents are significantly on the older side (70, 63), and I'm starting to get a little worried. It'd make me feel better if I remember the how low the number really is.
Right, that could be true, I remember seeing that somewhere as well. But then they can be mild enough that you don't even really know you have it, correct?
They can be mild enough that you think you just have the flu, or a bad cold
"Cold" refers to symptoms and severity of a disease, not the cause. A variety of different virus types can cause colds.
If you look at the people who died in Seattle, they're mostly elderly. This is a consistent pattern we've been seeing; the symptoms are much worse for old people.
In general, the novel Coronavirus strain should be taken very seriously.

Keep in mind that these are now a couple of weeks old and things have progressed.
Ouch. Number definitely isn't as low as I thought. :(

All I can do is make sure they practice proper sanitation practices. I'll definitely keep bothering them about.
Thank you.
Japan has tested a grand total of 2517 people in two months. South Korea and Italy are doing more than that in a single day. What a fucking joke. "If we don't test people, they don't have coronavirus, and we can still do the Olympics!!!!1"

So working here and sort of paying attention to the presser in the background - I've heard talking heads say a couple of times that "risk is low". Have they defined what the means? Has anyone asked them to be specific about that? Is there some internationally accepted standard for "low risk"?

That's still more than 5 times what the USA has done
Just saw a shocking interview with Scottie Nell Hughes on Newsnight here in the UK, obviously supporting and defending the nonsense coming out of the Trump administration. The ignorance/denial on display is nothing short of scary. Does Trump think he can combat this virus with a war of words just like he tries to combat everything else?
No lies detected. But Japan's outbreak started first and they get wayyyy more Chinese tourists than we do.
Why do people laugh at this fucking moron's 'jokes' He thinks that he's the shit raising his eyebrows. Fuck this piece of fucking garbage human vomit.
This isn't true. You can definitely be positive and not show symptoms
"So make a vaccine a reality in 2 months or you're fired!! Don't give me problems, don't give me excuses, give me solutions!!" etc says Donald from his goldfish bowl.
Can't help but laugh at this fucking idiot. The biggest question of the century will be how an complete moron ended up in one of the most important positions in the world.

They Were Infected With the Coronavirus. They Never Showed Signs. (Published 2020)
Even asymptomatic people who are infected may be able to spread the virus. But people without symptoms are rarely tested.
A Person Can Carry And Transmit COVID-19 Without Showing Symptoms, Scientists Confirm
Chinese researchers have confirmed a case of asymptomatic transmission of the new coronavirus: A 20-year-old woman from Wuhan passed it to five of her family members but never got physically sick herself.

The fact Trump is the most powerful man on the planet is truly something.
Building hospitals with 20% overcapacity sounds like extremely poor planning if it only needs that capacity once every 100 years.
I'm with you. I am a very anxious person and this thread has been sending me into a spiral :(
I wish i could do that but my job involves having contact with dozens/hundreds of passengers every day and also i have a booked trip to Italy in June which makes me anxious about this whole thing :(
