Got any sources on surviving the virus causing immunity?
pretty sure that was expected with either coast and then of course chicago being the central hub....surprised we actually haven't seen more....or theres just not as many confirmed.
We don't know either way. Immunity has not been confirmed nor has re-infection.
Yeah it was pretty much expected to be a hotbed for all of this in the States.
I thought that was still being debated? Some theorize that those who seemed to have been reinfected were just cases where they were cleared to be healthy prematurely.
First off, you're talking to a Chicagoan. Secondly, if you want to talk about gun violence holistically, we should save it for another thread. I'll just leave it at saying that it's misleading to say that gun violence is extremely unlikely for the average person living in Chicago or visiting Chicago and that it's not a good comparison to coronavirus which based on scientific opinions will hit over 30% of EVERYBODY, including Chicago.

It's pretty spread out in the city.....obviously not everything is a gunshot wound, but lets not act like its not a common thing for someone to die everyday in my city.
But like i said, at least gunshots are not contagious
So my wife and I are supposed to fly over to LA for a family members wedding this week, is this serious enough that we should bail or if with precautions (washing hands, sanitizer, no face touching) we should okay? Nashville already has something like 20 confirmed cases so its not like we're going from somewhere with no virus to a play that does have it.
Its complete bullshit that you are charged to get the Coronavrius test here in the United States. With insurance Ive seen numbers around 500-1000. People arent going to go get tested for that amount of money
Exactly, which is why it's irresponsible to post stuff like that. It just causes confusion and misinformation.
And yet you posted that baseless uncertainty like it was fact.
Wasn't their a guy that recovered and then became infected again? Pretty sure I read that.
Pupil diagnosed with coronavirus
A student has tested positive for COVID-19, prompting a letter home to parents.
Not closing the school for a deep clean seems irresponsible to me. The pupil in question could have been asymptomatic and infected other pupils and that's how a cluster starts.
Blue Cross Blue Shield just announced they will be covering test fees. I'm not sure about other companies but they are one of the big ones.
Who the fuck knows with how people are not getting tests and still going to work sick because they don't want to be homeless
They don't know if it was an error with the testing. There is nothing conclusive either way.
My work is wanting me trained to clean this up at certain sites around the city. I ain't doing it even if they pay me extra. They try force me I'm taking it to my union.
This is just straight up false. What you're referring to is people who tested negative, and then a day or two later tested positive again because of the way the anti-viral treatments (tamiflu) work. Once your body fights it off, it becomes immune. The thing we don't know is for how long does the immunity last, and how quickly does covid-19 mutate into new strains that would then be able to bypass immunity from an older strain.
Why are we comparing a virus that has vaccines ready to be administrated every year and a common disease that can't really be more "out there" than it is already with a completely new virus that's still in its early stages of spreading out through the world, has no vaccines, and already has a higher killing-rate?
The fact some people think containing this is "too much" is incredible.
Just in Italy in 24 hours 133 people died right there...from a virus that only got to that country 2 weeks ago.
133 people in 24 hours. How can people down pay these numbers?
The worst is how irresponsible people can get. I was on the phone with a friend that has been traveling, went to Italy is starting to get a weird cold and shivers and he was laughing on the phone and telling me how he was going to work and he has "no time to be sick".
People don't even think about everyone else but themselves. This is NO time to be selfish!
It's ultimately your call, but In all honesty I wouldn't want to be anywhere near an airport or plane at the moment if I could help it.
Would certainly cut the pension and social care bills. Also kills off a chunk of his power base however.
No, IMO its irresponsible fear mongering to keep posting those superrare 'reinfections'.
There is no evidence that these are real and every experts says its extremiley unlikely to happen.
Experts say we do not know enough yet, so I will go with that line. It is ok to say you don't know something.
That's the total number of all cases and deaths.
Today's numbers are 1797 new cases and 97 deaths.
How the hell is it fear mongering to post stories of reinfection? It's important to keep people informed so that "cured" patients don't too quickly go back out in public. It may very well be that it was just that they weren't fully recovered but that is important information.
Basically, be mindful of touching surfaces that lots of people will have touched, wash your hands before you eat or touch your nose/eyes/mouth for any reason, and avoid the aisle seat, and you have very little risk.
I'm not trying to call you out, but I want to use this post to springboard on a worry that I've been having: what happens if nurses or even doctors nationwide start taking this attitude? God bless our medical professionals and all that, but I've been in some hospitals where the nurses act like they're being inconvenienced by having to show up to work at all on a normal day.
If you would have told me 5 years ago the future US President might die because he is a petty asshole, who is unable to learn and own up mistakes, I.. I'm not even sure how to end this. What a time to be alive.
Can;t have more if we aren't testing people unless they fit certain criteria.
I fear we will have +1500/+2000 (if not more) increments every day, for at least 2 weeks.
Situation will become soon hell, if hospital and ICU resources will not be enough any more..
In Santa Monica and my partner is coming down with something. Dry cough and aches, no fever though. Hopefully it's just a cold
So...right in line with data I guess, this is going to give older folks a hell of a time.
Everyone should do what they can to convince their parents and grandparents to stay home as much as possible.
I emailed my parents. They're complete Trumpsters and I got the whole song and dance about this is no worse than the flu, that the media is blowing this out of proportion, etc.
Both my parents are 70+
I told them but they both have jobs they can't do from home :(
