Cases in LA jumped from 144 to 369 overnight. We are going to see an exponential jump in infected.
For those who scoff at the 1% mortality rate realize that this virus is going to kill more like 4% with the limited care, facilities, and equipment we have on hand. And treatment requires much MUCH more resources and man hours than treating the flu. You are comparing carrots to oranges.
Additionally there will be those who need medical treatments for other diseases/accidents/life threatening illnesses that WILL DIE because our health care system will be overloaded.
People are focusing on the 1% statistics cause they are less scared by that.
But 3.2 million Americans dying from this virus that is more contagious than the flu, influenza, and scarlet fever, is nothing to scoff at.
And the 1% is optimistic. It will be closer to 4% with our obesity and diabetes problems affecting younger populations and limited resources available to treat the severe cases.
No way. You’re dreaming
You're too optimistic for your own good.
I’d rather be optimistic and happy than a pessimist and miserable.
Look at the difference between Democrats and Republicans on this site. Attitude wise.
Democrats are always complaining and Republicans are always telling them to stop.
You understand that this is more than just about donkeys vs elephants right?
It's a global issue that affects everyone.
Yes, nothing wrong with being optimistic, especially in a period of crisis. But that does not mean you're entitled to downplay how other people feel about this virus.
If you think you won't get infected and in turn affect your loved ones, good for you! But other people don't have to feel the same way as you.
You’re acting as though you have a choice of getting infected or not. You don’t. Just like everything else in life.......if it’s gonna happen........it will.
I can feel how I want to feel about any situation. Your feelings don’t override my feelings and mine don’t override yours. I have the same rights as everyone else.
I listen to the Doctors and that’s it. Who gives a shit what Trump is saying about the virus. The doctors say........wash your hands for 20 seconds, don’t touch your face and stay 6 feet away from people and you’ll probably be fine. I do that and so does my family.
That's your perception of what I am saying. That is not what I am saying.
Maybe you should take your own advice (in 2nd bolded sentence) before coming at people with the death card. You don't actually know what some of us has been through. You beat cancer? Good for you. That doesn't mean you're allowed to wave the death card over our heads. It does not make you an authority on dealing with death. So if people want to avoid getting infected, that's their right. Whether or not they get infected, that's not for you to say.
That being said, we are done here. I am appalled that you seem to have forgotten the stuff I've had to deal with in the past, considering you've known me for so many years.
I haven’t forgot.
What I’m saying is that why am I being scolded for not staying indoors? I’m not affecting anyone but myself. Those that choose not to well........they have the option of staying inside. That’s all I’m saying.
What happens when/if you're infected but not sick (transmissible) and go to the grocery store. A few minutes later, a 60 year old with COPD checks out after you and becomes sick. Does that possibility bother you?
I know that it may happen regardless, but by being more careful about going out without being more cautious, do you think that would make any difference?
If I had COPD and I KNEW that if I got this crap it could kill me.....I’d do the responsible thing and either do curbside delivery or have someone get my groceries for me.
So you don't feel ANY responsibility for anyone but you and yours. Got it.
I'm conservative libertarian, but I believe that we should do unto others. I'm sure you're not alone in only considering #1. Sad, really.
I definitely wouldn’t blame someone else for me getting sick.
Half of the stuff y’all say is hypocritical anyway.
"Honestly, if China would’ve taken action sooner, it wouldn’t have spread so fast. They waited MONTHS"
"They’ve known about this since November. When did they quarantine? Mid January. They started lifting travel restrictions in early February and within 2 weeks it was spreading all over the globe."
"Who knows. It really doesn’t matter at this point. Thousands will die because of their failure to report and contain. The entire world should hold them accountable. They won’t."

I don't get why iran is on the third place with the no of infected, around 17000. The surrounding countries have all less than 500 and it's not like ppl are going there on vacay. Really weird.

Doctors are saying it’s an airborne disease that’s long lived on surfaces. They are also saying there are many asymptomatic carriers spreading this virus unknowingly and they advise to self quarantine in order to prevent spreading to at risk populations.
They are saying the rapid rate of transmission is what makes covid 19 a more serious threat.
This is not about optimism or pessimism. This is about listening to the experts to make sure our communities are safe and our resources last. This is bigger than me, you, all the petty arguments, politics, etc.
It’s airborne, true. The living on surfaces is misleading IMO. It’s only contagious for a few hours (from what I’ve read) on surfaces.
You’ve seen how this plays out. The pessimist attack the optimists and start saying they’re carelessclick to expand

Doctors are saying it’s an airborne disease that’s long lived on surfaces. They are also saying there are many asymptomatic carriers spreading this virus unknowingly and they advise to self quarantine in order to prevent spreading to at risk populations.
They are saying the rapid rate of transmission is what makes covid 19 a more serious threat.
This is not about optimism or pessimism. This is about listening to the experts to make sure our communities are safe and our resources last. This is bigger than me, you, all the petty arguments, politics, etc.
It’s airborne, true. The living on surfaces is misleading IMO. It’s only contagious for a few hours (from what I’ve read) on surfaces.
You’ve seen how this plays out. The pessimist attack the optimists and start saying they’re careless
4 hours on copper
24 hours on cardboard
2-3 DAYS on plastic and stainless steel

But here's the catch: if we EVER relax suppression before a vaccine is administered to the entire population, COVID-19 comes right back and kills millions of Americans in a few months, the same as before.
This part can't be rushed: if you're going to inoculate all humans, you have to make absolutely sure the vaccine itself won't kill them. It probably won't, but you have to be sure.
Assuming the vaccine is safe and effective, it will still take several months to produce enough to inoculate the global population.
the first part is speculation, people could develop herd immunity and the virus spread would reduce significantly, that's a matter of time and will happen before a vaccine is ever finish, so far most people have become resistant to it, the biggest threat would be the virus mutating, but so far so good.
and no, we don't need nor will inoculate the global population, the vaccine is for people over 65 years mostly, and some special cases, the death rate for people under 20 is almost zero with hardly any complications, they are not the problem, except with spreading the damn thing.
also the reason scientist take so many precautions with vaccines is not so much if it kills someone, theres many ways to avoid that happening even with a general allergic reaction, but theres a big debate over our knowledge on ADE (antibody-dependent enhancement), if we distribute a vaccine that fools our immune system and the virus manage to use it against us, is game over for all.
everything else is correct.
So far everything I’ve seen is that antibodies don’t last long...
well, the cells that mediate these antibodies can last even decades, those are the memory T and B cells, and a good example of that is with measles, if you get it once, or the vaccine you're pretty much good to go for your entire life.
the problem seems to be with the different strains of the same virus, and the biggest offender right now is the dengue virus, if you get it once, the second one is hemorrhagic fever for sure, and that happens because of ADE, is the reason why the vaccines for dengue were recalled, the vaccine just worked like a first infection, getting the real deal would become a life threatening condition; and there are people making studies trying to figure if there is any correlation of ADE and the fact that there are influenza seasons over and over and over.
pretty much is all about how those B and T cells work, but tbh I don't know much about them, and considering what I have read around, neither do the scientist community for now lol.
You mentioned dengue fever. My brother had it twice in his life. First one we didn't even realise it was dengue. We just found out when he had the second one because during the blood test they have seen that it seems like its not his first time. So basically, we never get immune to it? How many times can someone catch dengue?
it works like this: there are 4 strains of dengue virus (DENV-1 to 4) if you get infected with one of those, most likely you get mild symptoms but generally nothing severe, after that first infection you get immunity to that particular strain that you encountered (at least theoretically), but you are still susceptible to the other 3 strains of dengue virus, moreover every subsequent infections by the other strains increase the risk of developing severe dengue fever.
it seems your antibodies will try to fight the second infection from a different strain like it did with the first strain of the virus but as they are indeed two different versions of the same virus, it doesn't work, an the virus just get plenty of time to mess your body up.
so technically, you could at the very least get infected with dengue 4 different times (as most countries are already hyper-endemic for all four strains) each one with even higher chances of a severe dengue shock, but there are not enough studies about this, for safety reasons ofc, there's only the data from past outbreak that points out the effect of ADE.
--------------------
did you brother have any complications during the second infection?
Not that I'm aware of. So far he's been OK. He's only 19. We don't even know when he was infected the first time. If that's the case, we need to get him checked regularly. For now, we didn't hear about any complications but it did scare me when I heard it was the 2nd time for him.click to expand

I’m a college student who also works at a grocery store. Trust me, there is no one who wishes that what is happening, would not be happening, more than us.
But please, right now is not the time to protest, gather in groups, get angry etc. that will only spread it faster, make the situation harder and make our jobs more difficult.
We are working very hard to provide for the high demand and sanitizing all while being vulnerable to this virus.

The real question is how long people can live under quarantine without much if any income coming in. Since close to half of the country lives paycheck to paycheck, there will residual deaths, suffering, and effects. The virus isn't expected to peak for 4 to 8 weeks and then there will be spurts where it reemerges. People may be fine for a couple of weeks but past that, there will be a lot of desperation, anxiety, and despair.

so ... very sadly austria has it´s first covid-19 related death of a young patient 27 years old (albeit with severe pre-existing illness ....) they did not specify which pre-condition she was in but mentioned she had been hospitalized for the last few weeks ....
all in all we have 1400 infected, 8 fatalities and 9 recoveries.
also ....we have an insane situation on the border checkpoint to hungary .....30 km jam ....thousands of people basically packed into close proximity stuck not being able to move forward or backwards now ....hungary as closed it´s borders and not letting anybody in anymore. the red cross is going through the motorcades now distributing food/water and whatever else is needed .....add insult to the injury. smh.

austria will be in lock-down mode until april 13th. and only then will we be returning step by step to a normal life ....
unless matters get much drastic ....then there is open end to lock-down.
our current stats as of today:
2333 infected
73 in hospital
14 in ICU
2260 mild symptoms treatment at home in quarantine .....

Wow, that's crazy. Are they trying to let them in at some point? Do you know if they're citizens or refugees?
well, they are not refugees ....austria is in central europe and connects to many countries ....most of these people trying to get out over hungary want to travel further to their respective countries such serbia, bulgaria, romania etc. usually these are so called foreign workers that don´t have permanent staying papers for austria.
they did in the mean time open smaller border patrols around hungary to divert the situation, they will close the borders again.click to expand

At least you guys have a set date in place. I feel like there is no set time here in the US... each state is making up their own rules with their own timelines.
Hopefully you won't have to go through an open ended lock down. Its pretty good that majority of the people infected there only have mild symptoms.
tbh ....i think they are preparing us gently ....you know, instead of ripping the plaster off in one go ....the only predictable thing we can agree on is how unpredictable everything is.click to expand

I definitely agree with that *sigh*
How are you feeling about the whole situation, do you feel prepared if they do have to rip the plaster off?
i don´t think one can ever prepare for the unknown. ....i am feeling grateful my immediate family is close. we´re gonna get through this, i am also very grateful that my job is secure and i have no financial worries. idk. may this be a lesson in humility we all learn from.click to expand

It could be a ploy from the NWO, sure. But l also think it could change our economy for the better, everyone will have more hindsight, because they've had time to sit back, and think. And so maybe better decisions will be made, and there'll be more equality.
And l don't think it will destroy our economy forever, with our computer technology so advanced, we can do anything we want.

A friend of mine works as a sous chef for 4 different restaurants. Because she's not permanent staff (part time pays better in terms of $ $ per hour), she may get laid off from all 4. And she still has a house she needs to pay off.click to expand
