Yeah,that was what i was thinking. Here in Portugal (at least the people i know) if you develop a pneumonia you're going into ICU no matter what, i don't know if they are doing this. I'm just going to stay put working from home and that's it and i think we might be too late. Panicking about people under 50 in ICU won't help anyone, plenty of people have strokes under 50 and that is something usually associated with age.
Hmm. Are we not flattening the curve anymore? :( Still seem to be in BC...usually only between 7-11 new cases in a day. Though this might be different now because they're going to prioritize testing...
Anecdotally, hospital traffic for COVID suspicions is ramping up. I don't know how our preparedness compares to other hospitals around the country but it felt like there were headless chickens running around today. I hope we iron out these issues sooner rather than later. If Saturday already has this kind of activity, this coming week is going to be busy, I think.
We were always going to see more cases with more testing. Especially now that we have specific testing centres in certain provinces. There's one by me in Toronto, run by North York General. No appointments needed. It had over 200 people as soon as it opened. The testing centres will help free up emergency and walk-in clinics. The fact that outside of 3 cases, all of them are self-isolating at home is great! Helps keep the ICU's clear for a while longer.
Sorry, I will. I just want somewhere that I can go to get actual news on the situation; here felt like the best place but looking now phrases like "The Last of Us/Walking Dead situation," "as many deaths as WW2," and "the most terrifying thing I've ever read." are just dragging me down whether or not they're based in fact. I realise that I've contirbuted to that kind of stuff as well, and I am really sorry about that. I'm just so scared and I guess I want someone to tell me it's going to be all OK, but expecting strangers to do that is just silly.
However I can't simply ignore it because that just feels like it'll make things worse. I just wish there was somewhere I could bookmark to go when I want to find something new about this.
I don't know. I feel like I just need to take some time off from everything, but until things calm down with this crisis and my family is safe I just can't. So I need to find the next best thing and I have no idea what that is.
I swear to fucking god. This approach is right up trumps thought process also
There is a thread about this, but we don't know if it's true or not. The official summary of the bill and the text of the bill are apparently at odds about whether this loophole is in it, and it isn't yet clear which version was the one that was voted on.
A log scale is simply a method of visualizing data (particularly useful for exponential plots in fact). You noted seeing "logarithmic increases", which is objectively false, the data is increasing exponentially (sadly).

Trump trying to poach scientists working on virus vaccine, report claims
Die Welt report says the experimental drug would be ‘only for the United States’.www.scmp.com
Unfortuantely I think a lot of this is from travellers coming back from the US and/or snowbirds who panicked and are rushing back to Canada.
I hope they are responsible and self quarantine for a period of time.
10 new cases in Alberta, Canada, bringing the total in the province to 39. Eight are connected to travel, while two are community transmission.
Unfortunately, two of the cases are serious, both in ICU. Both patients are in their 60's, one from Edmonton and the other from Calgary. No info if they have underlying conditions. The rest of the cases are self-isolating and are at home; expected to make a full recovery.
10 new coronavirus cases in Alberta, 2 in intensive care
There are 10 new COVID-19 cases in Alberta, bringing the province total to 39.edmonton.ctvnews.ca
Notably Alberta is one of the provinces that has not shut down schools/most events yet.
Aren't the schools due for a spring/Easter break soon anyway? Shut down the damn schools.
I have asthma & hypertension and my sister has lupus. I feel ya, man. :(
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut, but I don't think they would have said he had it even if he tested positive.
That's awesome you're being part of the efforts to screen and keep the virus under control in Canada. Kudos for that. It seems things haven't ramped up over there, is that right?
Not sure if posted, but Cleveland Clinic is now doing 500/day drive through testing and will soon be able to test 1000.
So what's the estimate for number of deaths with this approach?
Didn't they say a day or two ago that Trump and Pence wouldn't be tested?
I was warned for trying to estimate these things by mods, so I won't try again. However, the numbers are out there and you can try to do the math if you really want.
NVM not supposed to talk about this. Just do the math with half the population infected and a 1% death rate.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
How much you want to bet that we didn't use WHO's tests because Trump told CDC we use an American tests only.

when they say "mild" that ranges from light symptoms to ICU but no artificial breathing
Oh, I meant near me, not run by me. I don't work in healthcare. I work in security. Sorry if I gave you that impression.
Things are generally under control. I mean we still have panic buyers and everything, and stores are getting bare. But our government on all three levels are initiating some good measures, and the shut down of schools/gatherings/major events will help.
Canadian's were worried nothing would be done until it was too late, since our governments are known for dilly-dallying. They seem to have responded well, and that fact that we only have 247 cases over three months is pretty good.
We also seem to be taking cue from South Korea, starting up drive-thru testing and centres only meant for COVID-19, thus freeing up hospitals and clinics. We are also lucky that we, so far, have very little serious cases and only 1 death.
There is more they can do, mainly restricting/closing the US border, as a lot of our cases are travel related and from the States, but that will take time. Also it's a big deal.
That is still quite high though when compared to China who also doesn't count them.
We will test less though, so expect the number slow down until it goes up again.
Had to skip dodge out of Spain today. Holy fuck I was stressed. The way things tangibly escalated over 2 days was just wild. Overstressed and sleep deprived, but home...
I feel you. I was so anxious about nobody here apparently giving a fuck for the past two weeks that I couldn't sleep properly. It didn't really help that I have a big project I need to be working on and trying to be productive in any way was a constant struggle.
Now that my country is on lockdown and everything is closed and people are quarantined to their own homes, I feel a lot calmer. I know it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better, but at least we're doing the right things and now there's nothing left but wait.
It's the waiting for the shoe to drop that's the worst.
A VW Golf in the US? That dude eats Coronavirus for breakfast
And the wording will be used as an excuse to "leave science behind" when people die from it.
Absolute madness.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that I had Covid-19 when I was sick at the end of January. All the symptoms line up.
I had a fever, sore joints, the worst cold ever where I could not breathe through my nose even after blowing it. Also three days of no ability to taste and smell. I made the hottest indonesian dish of my life (judging by the ingredients) and still, it was just textures to me. Very weird.
The worst bit was the throat and lungs though.
I have had a sore throat and coughing fits before but not like this. The throat was not sore at all and it was as if the act of coughing almost never had the beneficial effect on the cause that you are used to. Usually it clears away the slime in your throat which was the reason you coughed in the first place. In this case it felt as if the cause came from the lungs. Hard to describe but it was as if something was rattling down there and in some way hindering air coming up/down which sent the "you'd better cough," signal to the brain. The coughing just made the thing down there rattle further which again provoked further coughing. It was exhausting to say the least and for the three worst days of the illness I found it difficult to breathe at times.
I was sick for 14 days straight. Still had a mild cough for five days after that.
One silver lining to this is that my parents caught it four days after me and are recovered so I am less worried about them getting Covid-19 than I would be otherwise. They had an identical experience to mine.
