We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
also when they say "hypertension" i'm a bit worried. I ALWAYS have high blood pressure when I go to the doctors but they've never mentioned it to me and I think it's likely due to high alcohol use and stress of law school. It usually goes down if you test it multiple times but it's usually above normal. If my doctors see this but aren't worried should I be?
Let them all get it then. Then they can rid us of their stupidity.
There was enough time with this outbreak, the US had more than a month to prepare.
But of course, Republicans decided that it's the best time to pick dump political fights with the UN and China over this.
As bad as the reality of the current situation is, the scariest thing for me is to think; what if this virus was a while lot more deadly? This has demonstrated that we as a civilisation essentially have zero ability to do anything about it. Containing it, what a joke! Ticking time bomb...
I've personally seen this on facebook.
People are implying there's always a scary virus outbreak in an election year.
The deep state is at work!
I am honestly beginning to wonder whether containment was ever really in the cards for the West...
Meaning, it seems to me like either, governments are TOTALLY and collectively incompetent and overwhelmed with this even though they saw it coming by months, or they knew exactly what was coming and consciously made a choice to not even attempt proper containment measures for...various reasons? (they knew immediately it wouldn't fly like it did in China so they wouldn't even try, or they put economic reasons first etc.)
Singapore and maybe some other asian countries i can't think of right now (Taiwan?) besides China DID manage to more or less contain this though, so that is what is frustrating to watch here as western governments are tripping all over themselves and having this thing spread out freely with no end in sight instead of finally getting the necessary measures to put a halt to it or at least slow it down significantly... i mean, what is their end game here? They think it's just gonna go away if we close our eyes hard enough?

Damn that sucks. I heard Denmark is opening up a drive through testing facility by a hospital. I'd feel a lot safer if I knew people with the symptoms could get tested.
Is this kind of statement really necessary? This would probably result in a warning or a ban if someone said the same thing about Chinese or Iranian travelers.
This is what happens when leaders absent of morality appeal to base insticts of the electorate. They dumb down the populous and make the nation completely unprepared for what's coming.
I'm in Canada and if I had my way the US border would be the first one I'd shut down.
I tend to think that hypertension is more a risk factor for organ damage over time. There are also varying degrees of hypertension and we dont know the numbers they are referring to. Keep in mind the higher fatality rate among the elderly and the fact you are more likely to have these conditions as you get older probably skews the results.
Getting infected with a deadly disease to own the libs.
...I wonder if it'll get to the point where Republicans are getting infected by the drove and dying (because they tend to be older and don't believe in taking precautions) but insist that it's still the flu or that Hilary is poisoning the water supply or something.
It seems 100% reasonable to be upset about a country that's dramatically undertesting and giving effectively zero fucks about containment exporting cases to your country.
it likely wouldn't spread as far if it was as deadly. It's self limiting easier to contain
Countries would be wise to to ban Americans from entering their country because god knows how many have it in America already.
I am again closing borders or signaling people just because of their nationality, just mentioning a fact. There are four suspected cases and two are Costa Rican, I am just saying we have bad luck with Americans bringing diseases to our country. I hope they all recover well.
Go fully medieval: it's a curse brought upon by a demonic orgy led by Obama and Clinton
Same. Not that it exists, but that 1) it's somehow caused by 5G*, and 2) that the vaccine was made** by Bill Gates for some nefarious purpose.
*because electrical lines have a "corona" of electrical discharge, something something therefore coronavirus
**I would point out there is no vaccine to begin with, but then I would have to engage with that psycho
If it was deadlier I'm pretty sure more people would care. Right now so many people don't care simply because they think it's just a new type of flu and that only really going to be a danger if you are old or have preexisting problems. Really lot of folks don't think it's a huge deal. If the virus was much more deadly I would imagine folks would be taking it far more serious with quarantines and such. We would be closing down almost all travel options in the case of a deadly viral outbreak
Well there are FLU vaccines. So old people have protection to so e extent.
Trump says they are doing a good job so
God, I wish someone would crop Trump's face on this and have "Donald J. Trump" for the name. It would be perfect for your response.
Take care if you are going t hospitals to get testing, wear face masks, wash hands.
But actually for most cases, better try to do a 2 days self quarantine, drink hot water, have good sleep, to see if gets better.
Remember, most people will test with negative result. So better to make sure if you got a cold or something. If after 3 days still feel bad or feel hard to breath, and you concern you do have contact with people from outbreak areas, then go to take testing and medical care.
The person who believes coronavirus was caused by 5G does, in fact, also believe that Hillary drinks the adrenaline-laden blood of terrorized children...
So I'm supposed to fly to Belgium tomorrow night for a week-long vacation and have had a bit of a cold all week. Do I cancel? Will I get spaced if I sneeze once on the plane? Jokes aside, I really don't know what to do. My GF has been waffling between cancel/don't cancel all day.
I'm glad that ECCC cancelled, but I feel for all the service workers/vendors that will have no work. This thing is impacting everyone :\
If it's just a cold by itself and no other symptoms like fever or cough you are fine.
This will be SO hard to accurately asses by yourself though... you can easily get shortness of breath with a regular flu, i even had it happen with the common cold when i caught a little bronchitis from that... i just rested and waited it out, healed perfectly after a couple days. With THIS though? How can you tell whether it's "bad enough" to call the hotline and then exposing yourself at the hospital if it was just a cold after all or between trying to power through only to find out you're getting a more severe course and just screwed your chances by not escalating things earlier?
In America, yes, for now.
Other countries are progressively shutting almost everything down to slow down the infection. Italy for example. The economic cost is gonna be unimaginable, but it's gonna save lives.

Absolutely crazy. Why aren't we testing?!
I read most places don't have the test for it... plus people probably can't afford to be tested (days off work, living paycheck to paycheck, medical costs).

Probably old and already posted but jfc...
You know, maybe, just maybe the US' healthcare system might be fundamentally and from the ground up broken?!
I'm sorry, but stop with the fucking fear mongering. I draw the line at conspiracy theory. Which a part of your post implies, whether you meant it or not.
You might want to stay away from the thread and need for a while and give yourself a much needed break for mental health.
I noticed your posts becoming more and more frantic and panicked. Being in an echo chamber like this wont make anything better.
People use preschools, elementary schools, and high schools as daycares.
Northshore school district is closing for two weeks.
I mean daycare is a little bit of a harsh term.. some parents literally cannot take off work to be home with their kids.
I'm glad that our secretary of the interior is a terminator.
He will just terminate corona in austria.
He will just terminate corona in austria.
I'm not casting any kind of judgment either way on it, but even the way you described it is a description of daycare. This is why they aren't closing. You'll see city, county, and state officials say as such.
I had a brain fart you are right, You would need childcare if schools are shut down.
