I got 2 ear fulls today

1 from a colleague at work. She came in sick after holidaying in Indonesia. Coughing, wrapped in a blanket, sniffles. Refused to go home because she took tok much time off for a holiday. I tried to explain the risks and she insisted corona is just a flu.

Ended up swearing at me and loudly proclaiming im panicking and spreading fear.

She stayed in the office all day.

On the train home a man behind me coughing constantly. I stood up to move train carriages and he barked at me "look at you all scared of a flu"

Society frustrates me. People believe facebook comments more than the news.

Too many are too stupid for words.

Stupid or just don't care....

Or the mentally ill in government.

well this is troubling. 2 new cases in the Philippines today. which puts the number of known cases at 5. the first three of which one died feb1, one went back to China (after testing negative, then testing positive later), on Jan 31. and one that got better, discharged feb 8.

what is troubling is those three cases ended a whole month ago, back when the whole thing started. and other than those brought back from China, and off the cruise ship. and are quarantined at the SEA games facilities, in what was Clark base, there have been no other known cases until now. and now we have TWO cases popping up. one of which the person has not done any traveling outside of the country. and is thus considered a local transmission from somewhere.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 6) — A Filipino who has not traveled out of the country recently has tested positive for the coronavirus, health officials said on Friday. There are two new cases of coronavirus disease or COVID-19 in the country.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said the 62-year-old Filipino man who contracted the disease has no known travel to any country with confirmed coronavirus cases, but he regularly visited a Muslim prayer hall in Barangay Greenhills, San Juan City.

"It can be considered as a local case... The absence of travel is a clear indication that this is a local case," he said in a media briefing.

www.cnnphilippines.com...

with this case the person started coughing on feb 25, went in for treatment on Mar1. now here is the thing. i don't recall any of the three original cases being from Greenhills. and they haven't given a specific location for the other new patient, so it would seem he was not in that area. so just where did this person pick it up? are there other people running around with it? or since the mall there has a big flea market type market (lots of fake Chinese goods), did it by chance come in through products brought in from China?

also of concern to me personally, is Greenhills is one of the malls i sometimes go to, being quite close to where i live (also where the hostage taking was a couple days ago). this means it is a little close to home as it were.

the other new case is a person who returned from Tokyo on feb 25, (the same day the other patient started coughing, so that just makes it even more unlikely the two cases are connected). and started having chills and fever on Mar 3, and tested positive yesterday.

Meanwhile, the second new case of COVID-19 in the country is a 48-year-old Filipino man who visited Tokyo, Japan. Duque said he returned to the Philippines on February 25 and started having chills and fever on March 3. He was tested positive on March 5. Duque said he is in stable condition.

The two patients are residents of Metro Manila and are both confined at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).

The DOH is tracking down the people the two Filipinos came in contact with.

"Samples have already been collected from close contacts. DOH is also in close coordination with the concerned local government units for concerted action on identifying persons who had interaction with the confirmed cases," Duque said.

What to do if you're not feeling well in South Africa?

Don't go to the doctor - call in or Skype them your symptoms!

You talk as if people dont save enough money to look after themselves for a month or 2

A lot of people don't or can't.

Yeah woah.....

I've never had that

I just paid my rent and bought a 24 pack of ramen and some beer and I have $13 left till next paycheck

well, sorry to say this but you are a bit of a silly fool and only have yourself to blame. If you can't save any cash from your job weekly, then you are either in a very low paying job and need to get out or are just too stupid to think about the future... even if it's just a few years into the future!

NOTE to mods: I'm not name calling here, just being grown up and telling it how it is.

What's going on with these numbers, especially from Italy...

Almost 4000 infected with a 10% recovery rate, when are we going to get some semblance of truth about this virus.

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed

so... Italy is running at same death rate as China.... already???

Hope they can get a hold of this thing.

a reply to: CrazeeWorld777

I don't think they will, this is clearly far more serious than is being let on, officially at least. All the spraying and the quarantining and cleaning and the lack of information just doesn't add up.

www.google.com...

New Delhi, India - The number of coronavirus cases in India has increased sharply from six to 31 this week

AGE
DEATH RATE
confirmed cases
DEATH RATE

all cases


80+ years old 14.8%

70-79 years old 8.0%

60-69 years old 3.6%

50-59 years old 1.3%

40-49 years old 0.4%

30-39 years old 0.2%

20-29 years old 0.2%

10-19 years old 0.2%

0-9 years old no fatalities

--------------------------------------------------------

I'm in the 0.4 % chance which is by all means very very low. Don't think I need to panic just yet unless this virus mutates to affect more aggressively those under 70.

Nah, hes in Alaska. Rent here is a bitch, utilities are a bitch, food... also a bitch for anyone making less than $25-$30 an hour. The economy here is dogcrap, but the prices are still pegged to the good old days when we were pumping out oil as fast as it could be tapped on the North Slope.

This is something new. Just searching anything Coronavirus with google gives you a bold red block SOS alert over all the search inquiries.

That's going to turn out very, very ugly.

Remember the incidents when people where assaulted in their cars by a homeless guy who threw diarrhea on them? Yes, some of this could get very ugly.

Cheers
