Continuation of Coronavirus live Thread. 4.
Glad that VP set El Rushbo straight.
Maybe he (Rush) will quit saying ‘this is just the flu’ :(
Even our vet is having a hard time getting tamiflu :- /
Trump’s stopping many flights from China early only takes him so far.

The appeal of doctors. “It cannot be accepted that our doctors are facing the Covid-19 emergency without the personal protective equipment from the virus.” The president of the National Federation of Medical Orders (Fnomceo) Filippo Anelli writes in a letter to the governor of Lombardy Attilio Fontana. “A doctor who falls ill - he adds - is a doctor removed from the national health service and the protection of the right to health”.
The hospitals in Lombardy facing the coronavirus emergency are “on the edge of the estate”, meanwhile says Professor Massimo Galli, infectious disease specialist at the Sacco hospital in Milan, during a press conference at the Lombardy Region headquarters. “Most of the beds in the intensive care units are occupied by this disease - he adds - some hospitals are in serious crisis, such as Lodi and Cremona, where we are experiencing an overload of patients”.

Interesting wording. Will the spread be because they are starting testing? That is what it sounds like, and wouldnt surprise me. There will be a big uptick when they catch up with testing, then it should (hopefully) have a more moderate rise.
We permit a positive forms test as a reason to abort too. We allow for any reason.
Unlike Iceland 10 percent of our kids are allowed to live.
I dont know if this is legit, simply because the CCP has allowed it to stay up. Video at link of BBC video with Dr. Xie Jiang

I thought NY was going to do their own testing, too.
Itll be interesting to see how the numbers play out, between the states.
As well as it being very contagious, as well as people apparently not developing immunity and catching it a second time, often with heart failure. Oh, there’s that whole cytokine storm thing, which most flus don’t have (and the killer Spanish flu did). Then that it apparently can survive hot weather, such as in Singapore and the Middle East.
No, we really don’t know enough yet about it and what’s going on.
- over -900
Walmart here today fully stocked, quite responsible as we are under a corona State of Urgency from the governor. Stocked up some more.
Well can they still kiss each on the cheek in that great euro tradition ? That probably doomed Italy.
Taking temps and asking q’s is fine—as long as it is not misleading, with a false sense of comfort.
I actually think the treatment protocols (especially the use of steroids) has been a contributing factor in China (first) and Iran (now).
Factories that can fill the supply chain are going to do very well.
Here is Thread 6. Lets make it the weekend thread.

We literally lack the equipment to make the equipment in many areas.
Many pharmaceuticals require huge fermentation vats.
Betcha we don’t have the equipment to even manufacture those anymore.
It won’t be an overnight thing.
IMHO I’m glad Trump went to India, hopefully they discussed this stuff.
Dow moving up some from -900 now in the -300s.
“China hands” say the workers are afraid to go to work. Because of the virus, also because of the draconian measures they may get caught up in.
Important though to note that migrants are still in a 14 day quarantine and can’t work. That ends net week for almost all.
