Corona Virus daily thread #16

[RummyChick]

You mean like all the nasty attacks on here in post after post and day after day to those of us that have taken it seriously and wanted to discuss it...and warned others to do so..guess you forgot about those

not a good case/death ratio here

BREAKING: Spain reports 609 new cases of coronavirus and 58 new deaths, raising total to 5,841 cases and 191 dead

[nascarnation]

Local news mentioned that Roche Diagnostics here in Indianapolis is shipping half million test kits. These are ones that provide results in 3 hours.

[Pollard]

Been pouring rain here all morning. Might be the best time to go. Wish I has a better rain coat. Got an umbrella somewhere.

[Pollard]

Oh it’s not bad here. Try posting prepping for this to any other wuhan virus related news, which was 70% of all news this week, and you get pounced on by a dozen people. It’s like one of those videos of a group of “teens” pummeling someone on the street.

BREAKING: Spain preparing for nationwide lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus, according to draft decree - El Pais

[Varsity Flight]

These “drive in testers” Walmart, CVS, Target. Are they disposing the PPE equipment after each test? And what about the locational air quality after each test

Draft decree says lockdown in Spain would start on Monday morning, according to local media. People would only be allowed to go out to buy basic needs or to go to work. Press conference in 35 minutes (1400 GMT)

[Pollard]

Air quality. It’s outdoors. They take swabs from throat and nose. I would imagine they would swap gloves after each test. I think the first thing will be checking your temp. If you don’t have one, bye bye.

did not see any patients in the 24 hours before he started experiencing symptoms

This is my state (CT)--we have had some of the most insanely stupid comments from public officials, and this is an excellent example.

Their inability to get the testing chemicals they need is _not_ a reason to lie to the people of CT.

Our medical professionals are getting hit first and hardest.

This is a brand new virus which no one has immunity to. It’s lethal to older people as well as immuno-compromised people. Highly, highly contagious, and probably is aerosolized as well as living on surfaces for nine days.

” Why would you even say that?

Its’s stuff like that that gives FR a black eye. “

Oh please, it was a BLIND POSTING. It wasn’t directed at you or any of the other Flubros. It was a GENERAL COMMENT, and it was well-stated.

[Solson]

And those young people who recovery are showing a 20-30% permanent reduction in lung capacity and men are showing some level of sterilization.

[EternalHope]

Please add me to your ping list.

My sister actually THANKED ME yesterday. Because she is a bit stubborn and I didn’t want to get into a row with her, all I did was tell her what I had done in prep, and it was a lot. She took my words as advice and stocked up (by her standards at least), and doesn’t have to deal with this round of store-rushing. She’s very happy for that!

In the Netherlands most of the people in ICU are under 50.

In Italy many of the infected younger are actually starting to get sicker with time as well. They are reporting more and more young people in serious condition. The Swiss are seeing the same.

[metmom]

So I figured it was best to hit the stores when they were empty (in the mornings), no purchase limits, no shortages, and very few, if any virus shedders. And 90% of what I bought, I would use later regardless.

...and many others here did the same, and were ridiculed. Ridiculed by those now standing in those lines, some of them, no doubt, picking up the virus right there in line.

Really. It's not like anything I bought is going to go to waste.

I don't see why it matters to the flubros what we did that; A) is nobody's business except ours, and B) isn't hurting anyone anyways.

Why they feel compelled to offer us their unasked for opinion if beyond me.

MT State Health Dept. is lagging behind on reports - https://dphhs.mt.gov/publichealth/cdepi/diseases/coronavirusmt

The Montana Department of Corrections has suspended visitation at all its facilities due to CV.

The 4 MT cases - The Lewis & Clark County case has been verified as Broadwater Co. bringing it closer to a Silver Bow/Galatin/Broadwater cluster with the Yellowstone Co. being an outlier. Yes, the cluster could very well be connected to Montana State Univ. (Gallatin Co.). This week is their Spring Break and will be going to online classes.

Yellowstone Co. - Billings ISD-2 is currently on SB but will be back to school on Monday. Prom, next Sat., has been postponed.

MT High School sports are a go with no restictions.
