Continuation of the thread.
The aged are everywhere in this country and are in a way the proverbial canary in the coal mine, in other words an early indicator of the presence of something harmful.
What I do not see as many here seem to be promoting is the “pandemic” model where merely breathing is like some deadly fog that happens by your home
I refuse to align with that level of hysteria, but I do monitor this carefully and NOT on the MSM who I do not trust at all
Worry is the province of a non believer, and I am in Gods hands
The rest will take care of itself
Actually, in Food Lion, all the Lysol and other disinfectant sprays and wipes were gone. It was like a gaping hole in an aisle of shelves otherwise fully occupied by cleaning agents.
Did they get the SARS vaccine? They were living there...
Again incomplete data. What was the race of the American in Wusan and what were the ages , race and underlying medical conditions of the others you mention. Such data is critically important to understand and allocate resources when dealing with any epidemic.
The number is quoted by Scottish First Minister Sturgeon.
From the article:
"But she accepted that the government was preparing for a 100,000 deaths. Asked reports of the figure in the Sunday Times, Ms Sturgeon told Sky News: 'We're looking at the scientific worst case scenarios right now... these kind of figures are very much worst case scenarios.'
" Who are the experts? What scientific worst case scenarios? From where?
This is how rumors get going. It's not you - it's the DM making on leap and not doing any corroboration of her statement. None.
IRAN -
Coronavirus death toll in Iran hits 194 as 49 people die in ONE DAY while citizens are warned not to gather in large groups and IranAir suspends all flights to Europe until further notice
You made a lot of points—let me address the containment one.
The virus can (and btw will!) be contained.
The problem is that now the measures will have to be so draconian that they will crash the economy and severely impinge on everyone’s daily lives.
Our host asked us not to speculate on the future, so I will let you imagine what those draconian measure might look like... :-)
Iran, Communist China, North Korea and Pakistan. Three shitholes I really wish the virus would decimate and leave the rest of the world out of it. And they all have, in addition to the ChiComs themselves, a heavy Communist Chinese presence, influence or control
Britain shows 64 new cases today, Italy 1,492 (what the heck is going on there?!), USA 103.
I give it 6 hours before the hospital name is leaked. :)
Lets rush all the infected from Italy back here to speed up the infected cases .
Beyond Stupid .
Understand. I get what you mean.
The good news is that if people practice social distancing, practice good hygiene, etc - they can take steps to reduce their probability of contracting the virus. It will take work and vigilance.
“Fort Bend County health officials announced Sunday that three more residents have been identified as infected with the new coronavirus, bringing the region’s total to 11.
Officials said the three residents are all in good health and kept in isolation at their homes. Two patients were among the 17 Houston-area residents who returned in late February from the same Nile River cruise in Egypt, while one patient took the same cruise at a later date.”
No we wont hassle you with a screening after being on a 4-5 plus flight
from Italy .
So nice of Pence to make infection here quicker and easier .
Indiana COVID-19 line for suspected ill:
317-233-7125 8am to 8pm
317-233-1325 other times
Epidemiologists are waiting to take your call.
There is an article that compares the Italy means of handling vs. Hong Kong. HK was much more proactive Limiting travel, meetings, closing schools, so they have had a lot less cases and deaths. Kind of like St. Louis in 1918.
Italy was reactive from the start, and their situation is out of control.
Some believe letting it spread through your population unimpeded is better, it’s like ripping off a bandaid. It inoculates you’re population for the second wave. This means HK could be in for a much worse second wave.
However, the problem with the reactive approach is that they do not account for what it does to society as a whole, especially when healthcare breaks down. Long term I think the reactive approach (like the US is doing now) will cause much deeper economic ramifications than mitigating spread.
Just like on the Wuhan evac flights. 14 days wasn’t long enough. Wonder how many infected the local communities.
No these “Americans” were in Communist China and bought into the superiority of Chinese Communism, for the most part. Too bad for them their adopted country started the Wuhanic Plague
Bet after this blows over, these “Americans” will be back in Communist China, praising Winnie Xi Pooh.
“Last night, I was informed that 10 days ago at CPAC I briefly interacted with an individual who is currently symptomatic and has tested positive for COVID-19. That interaction consisted of a brief conversation and a handshake.”
Rice University cancels classes.
“Many guests, onboard a cruise ship with 21 others who tested positive for coronavirus, are headed to a quarantine facility in Texas.
Gov. Greg Abbott said numerous passengers - about 90 of them Texas residents - will be transferred to a military base in San Antonio for testing for the coronavirus. It was not clear when the group would arrive.
Grand Princess Capt. John Smith, in a recording provided by passenger Laurie Miller of San Jose, told guests the ship will dock in Oakland. Princess Cruises says it’s expected to arrive on Monday. The ship is carrying more than 3,500 people from 54 countries.”
Thanks for the info!!!
