100 deaths in New York State since yesterday, expected to continue to increase. Also 6448 new cases
Christ those numbers are insane. Pray for NYC.
I am 99% certain that at some point I read that China was able to track back to a patient zero, who was infected in early November. Even if it spread more than what China claims, it's fairly easy to track that it was isolated in and around China for up to two months before going international.
This winter was just a bad flu season. Maybe abnormally so.
Now all this stuff is happening. I (obviously not an expert) really don't think there were hidden cases of COVID-19 way back in December anywhere outside of China. It doesn't really make sense.
Yeah, some even need to be one for up to 30 days apparently.
He's in his late 50s (today is even his birthday) and has never had any health problems. His husband, however-who also tested positive for COVID-19 -has asthma....but for whatever reason has shown no COVID-19 symptoms. It's wild.
Did China have enough or were they short as well
What I see is far right will geting even stronger when all this end. Counties in Europe with center left gov are suffering more.
The whole package yesterday society will check as a Trump package.
If you're a younger person, you really I think need to cease contact as much as possible with people 65+ if you're out an interacting with lots of other people. And if you're in the older age range, you need to understand that shit too. Doesn't matter if the people you are interacting with have symptoms or not.
No hugging, kissing family members, no big get togethers for a few months. It's for your own sake.

Fuck this shit
Parading that moron as some hero for finally being forced to listen to reason and even then he wants to open shit back up in early april
GAWWWHHHHH
Crazy. Similar to a situation of this journalist who is in his mid 30s, had veery severe symptoms, intubated and was in the ICU, but his husband had just a bad cold. I don't know the journalists name but I want to see the update... he was one of the first "public" Cases in the US I remember where he was documenting his condition. His mother posted on his Instagram or Twitter or w/e about his worsening conditions but it's been 5 days or so sincee then.
ANybody know who I'm talking about? Not to be crass with descriptions, but he was an Asian Am (?) man, gay, wore a sharp suit in his profile photo, mid-late 30s.
I don't understand how anyone with a brain can't understand the tragedy you steer into, when you overwhelm the hospitals with even more patients, because you want to return to business as usual.
Situation is terrible already, if you don't flatten the curve, people will just die at home as they need hospitalization and can't get one, because hospitals are overfilled. Jesus

We've pretty much stopped All contact with anyone outside of our family..and we do have to see someone, we've stopped face to face contact with our parents. If somehow we or our kids get corona..it will stop with us as much as possible.
It's why Italy is bad. They are perpetually at 100% capacity. By the time one frees up, 100 have died.
RIVM Netherlands here posted abit more detailed report of the deaths. Last couple of days it went up to arround 80. But they said not every hospital says it right away so "day deaths" arent totally accurate or delayed.
Guess they backtracked abit on really per day. This seems positive. If this is real accurate

New MN numbers
Yesterday report v Todays report
Yesterday report v Todays report
Same reports from Spain & Italy, average time in ICU is around 3 weeks, this prolonged time with the constant new cases is what causes the collapse of the hospitals.
NYC's on track to be another Wuhan, but I really wonder how this is going to play out in the rural areas with undeveloped medical services. There are absolutely zero restrictions on travel in the US, a heavy "I don't give a fuck" attitude, and all it takes is one local infection.100 deaths in New York State since yesterday, expected to continue to increase. Also 6448 new cases
I think you have a zero to much there. Italy's deaths with Germany death rate would be more something like 1,3 million infected, not 13 million.
If I remember correctly, China claimed to maybe have identified patient zero twice so far -- once, it was a case from early December, then from early November. If it was early November, it might have found its way to Italy by December.
Flu intensity apparently was low in Italy in December. But, yeah, I'm obviously no expert either.
i mean, no one could have seen that coming! Lets Mardis Gras and worry about the fake media and democrat led virus later!
New MN numbers
Yesterday report v Todays report
Positive rates in MN actually seem quite low vs number of tests, so that's good I assume.
A step closer to identifying the origin of SARS-CoV-2:

Coronavirus: Pangolins found to carry related strains
Smuggled pangolins were carrying viruses closely related to the one sweeping the world, say scientists.

Identifying SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses in Malayan pangolins - Nature
SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses are identified in Malayan pangolins (Manis javanica); these pangolin-associated coronaviruses belonged to two sub-lineages of SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses, including one that exhibits strong similarity in the receptor-binding domain to SARS-CoV-2.

Def trying to. Staying inside at all costs unless I have to go out and get essentials (tp, food, etc). I just dont see how I can minimize my risk any more than that, even then, it feels like a huge gamble.
same:( it just doesn't make sense anymore.. each day going by, more and more people lives are at stake and we are doing almost nothing about it. everyday its the same twilight zone episode. idk why im still working either:(
If you've done all you can to protect yourself and your family, find a distraction and put this thread on ignore
Clean supplies you bring into the house (Preferably outside) and also clean your door knobs (both inside and outside), then wash hands. I dunno, just giving extra ideas to lower your risk.
I bought bleach, a sprayer, and cocktail napkins. Making my own cleaning wipes. Doesn't work for clothes, but will for hard services.
anyone still have their golf courses open? or is it just the shitty governor of Arizona not giving a fuck:(
Just got diagnosed with a sinus infection. Am I double fucked if I catch Corona? I'm a meat dept manager at a major grocery retail chain.
My wife is a nurse practitioner here in Chicago and she teleconferenced with a patient she believes has Covid-19. She referred them to a hospital in Chicago and got a hold of Cook County Health Services who she had a chat with.
She told me they are getting a ton of positives from the testing done thus far here, but it's not being reported at all to the media. The numbers are even higher as Cook County is short on testing supplies.
you should probably be asking a medical professional not strangers on the internet
It is massively shitty and going to probably be a problem come November
But if you have ever worked with a stubborn asshole or a kid, you learn to try to be nice to keep lines of communication open. If you just say "You are an idiot and are wrong and are ruining everything" they shut down. If you throw a few platitudes around and make them feel better about themselves they are more likely to listen to you and maybe even think some of the things you are saying were their idea in the first place.
A long term collaborator (who, to be fair, has gotten a lot better) was always like that. If you wanted to accomplish anything you had to stroke his ego and say things in a way that would make him think what you are saying was his idea. Play your cards right and he was an AMAZING project lead who could sell anything to upper management and coordinate the team in amazing ways. Play it wrong and he got frustrated and would lock down and insist on only doing the first thing he thought of.
So its shitty but I can't really fault the WHO for trying to make fuckface feel better about himself. If he even listens to a bit of what they are trying to tell him it could drastically reduce the overall damage.
After yesterday's nice weather I'm worried about spikes anyway in the near future.
I swear i'm going to punch someone today! wake up driving to work. got needed maintenance done on my car yesterday. today started idling rough and shaking. of course with my luck! so took that in. all fucked up. at work my co worker decides to bring his kid in that is hyper and likes to touch everything and everyone. now trying to get me to help him make a fort wasting our packaging boxes. fuck today. i dont wanna be around anyone! especially KIDS!
What exactly do you expect a UN-level civil servant to say?
