The exact same trend we've seen with France's numbers. It's much easier to notice the 2 week lag using log charts.
Alright, so I went to the doctor yesterday because I had a fever of 102.5 and they tested for the flu and strep throat which tested negative. They did say I'm fighting some virus but my lungs, throat and heart have no issues. I woke up two hours ago with the same fever again and took some Advil and now my temp is at 99.1.
I just turned 24 today so I'm on the young side and I was told to wait it out for a few days and they don't think I have corona. But I'm assuming it still COULD be corona right?

France (or any other country) needs to fast track Hydroxychlorquine + azithromycin testing ASAP. It may be the most vital aspect of this.
The place I work at decided to throw in an extra bonus this year if we met production goals, they decided that in the midst of a pandemic to "encourage" people to come to work. What the fuck haha.
Azithromycin has been used in treatment of non-complex malaria as it has been shown to trigger an anti-viral response.
It should be pointed out that the other drug is a malaria med. So zpak is maybe supplimental to that.
I had the flu last month and the doctor told me the antibiotics I was taking for something else at the time would help prevent pneumonia. She gave me an antibiotic shot and said it should help treat the flu, but if it didn't she told me to return the next day for an antiviral.
I immediately felt better and aside from some very mild symptoms, I felt completely fine the next day.
I didn't really answer your question, but I guess there must be something that antibiotics do, even when dealing with a virus.
I was using that site before but it only updates once a day. Thus I used this site:
Japan COVID-19 Coronavirus Tracker
Live updates of the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak in Japan
covid19japan.com
Government announces travel ban for all non-citizens, non-residents
Prime Minister Scott Morrison announces all non-citizens and non-residents will be banned from entering Australia from Friday night.
www.abc.net.au
Australia has joined New Zealand and is closing the borders to all non-citizens tomorrow night
I dunno, but if it does, there'll probably be youtube videos explaining it eventually.
The current thinking behind why chloroquine/hydroxychroloquine might be effective is that they help cells absorb zinc, and zinc seems to inhibit the activity of the protein that Coronaviruses use to replicate their RNA.
Malaria isn't viral, it's caused by plasmodium, which are single-cell eukaryotes.
its funny in the sense its just a reminder of how little we know. contry to what people thing, we are just at the start of medical understanding. the stuff we will have in 50 years will likely make current medicine barbaric.
It would be wise to assume it's corona while you're fighting off an infection and have fever, yes. So with that in mind, drink tons of water, sleep well and stay off the Advil. Anti-inflammatory medicine like Advil and iboprufen have an adverse effect on covid19. Play it safe and use paracetamol to suppress your fever symptoms.
yeah those countries might actually work in the "herd immunity" scenario UK wanted to do
I wouldn't take any more Advil. There were a few studies that say it could have an adverse effect. Take Tylenol instead.
Is Wuhan still under lockdown, like it was at peak time?
In Italy they think about an even more severe lockdown, since authorities are saying people are still moving too much outside... they are going to prohibit outdoorsports and walks.. this coronacrisis sure is going to places:(

Not the best time for me to only get 5 hours of sleep in...
Can anyone please remind me when the Wuhan lockdown started exactly?
Yes, according to TomTom traffic (click last 7 days): https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/traffic-index/wuhan-traffic

I am starting to get pretty concerned about the lack of PPE for even my coworkers and I. We are in the lab, but we have to vortex all the specimens taken for COVID testing to do flu testing on them. This gives a chance of aerosols, which I read today last longer in the air than previously thought? Am I outdated in my info now?
I really hope we can start mass manufacturing masks soon. I worry for all my coworkers and their young families once we start ramping up here soon.

Yeah, I was confused by that too. This article may provide some answers: https://erj.ersjournals.com/content...thromycin,-induced pro-inflammatory responses.
I mentioned the Advil stuff to my doctor and she said it was misinformation. Both times I took it, it got rid of my fever so It can't be that bad right? I did get Tylenol so I'll play it safe and just take that instead.
I wouldn't risk that. they still have guns and those aren't forbidden to use, just not arrest.
The point is that fever is a natural response of your body that makes it less hospitable for the virus to spread internally. By suppressing the fever you limit your body's natural ability to fight off the virus.
At least that's how I interpreted Dr. John Campbell's video.
You shouldn't be taking Advil (ibuprofen) if you have Corona. So far doctors experience show that this could make everything worse as it lowers you body temp, your body needs that heat to fight the virus.
so dont take anything that lowers body temp, unfortunately this is almost all headache pills.
fever is part of the body's defence mechanism, this has already been researched. It can be ok to disable this with mild infections, but with an all new virus i wouldn't be taking any chances.

its likely gonna be 4-8 weeks I think
with hope a treatment is widely available sometime soon
The WHO has been cautioning against ibuprofin while it's investigated more thoroughly
Lockdowns are being imposed around the world. China's example highlights the costs | CNN
Strict coronavirus lockdown measures in the Chinese city of Wuhan have been credited with slowing the outbreak, but they've come at a cost to millions of people.
www.cnn.com
The cost to control the spread. And they still need to maintain it for at least two more weeks in an effort to prevent a second wave.
The number looks pretty bad, and it is, but it's not really representative of where we are in the outbreak. We're still in the very, very early stages.
For example in California there are less than 900 cases and only 17 deaths.
Every state is going to get hit differently and be hit harder than some. Right now Washington and NY are looking the worst.
Ah I see. So just take Tylenol instead then?
I appreciate the responses.
I can't fucking sleep and I haven't been able to fall asleep at night without a ton of booze this while week. I have so much anxiety now.
Tomorrow I'm gonna be exhausted trying to take care of the house, my kid, and try to work.

It's a battle star galactic reference and means:"I agree/Hope for the same result."
That contains acetaminophen (Tylenol), at least in my country.
Wife and me decided to at least wear bandanas in front of our mouths and noses from today.
Not because it is going to protect us, but should we become ill (not yet symptomatic) we could at least reduce the chance to infect critical personal like people working in grocery stores and other shoppers.
No idea how useful it will be, but we at least see no harm in doing so. Except for people looking at us because we are idiots and do not understand that cloth offers us no protection. But maybe it increases their protection, a tiny little bit.

Not sure, dont have this where I live.. read up and see if they mention anything about temperature in regards to this.
