Corona Virus Updates Part 4

Just in : Airlines around the world roblems with airliner control system in Japan. Temporary delays at airports in Japan that go around the world. (OK, update now just on this: Now that the system is working as normal, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is investigating the exact cause of the problem.
Well I guess that is one way for air travel to stop and make it look good.
People I mention many times about buying a bicycle but only got one reply about it and I mention cars are NOT going to do you much good in the very near future. I'm not in panic mode. I'm just laying out some facts. Who would ever think this about the airlines would be affected by a shutdown in Japan could cause travel delays worldwide.

Doctor says thousands likely infected in the US already. He says maybe even tens of thousands.
CNBC

I posted where over 100000 cases a week earlier on my thread. Seems like what I'm posting from "real" sources have and probably will pan out over time. Take care folks. Remember I posted about being prepared for up to one year. I think I got laughed at so I believe I covered myself stating later well, how about 6 months and got some stars for that post .

Of course my fellow Orleanian. I do know not does my friend but there is really only one reason. Will update as I find more info out. I went to Costco tonight. All TP is gone. Barely any water left. Costco guy told me the Tp went early.

Sams Club here was out of TP and Paper Towels, Wipes, Lysol, Rice, Beans, etc.

However, the neighborhood grocery store has ALL those items.

Question: Does the positive infected number count only confirmed COVID cases? If so, are the rest of us (the ones who opted not to get tested) simply aggregated as flu victims?

A bicycle wouldn't do me much good MIM, I live 17 miles (27 kilometers) from the closest town.

Where at?

Sadly things are about to get real in India

NEW DELHI — India is bracing for a potential explosion of coronavirus cases as authorities rush to trace, test and quarantine contacts of 31 people confirmed to have the disease.

It is screening international travelers at 30 airports and has already tested more than 3,500 samples. The Indian army is preparing at least five large-scale quarantine centers.

For weeks, India watched as cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus,.....Article continues

Update: March 7, 2020 Saturday noon time Tokyo

1. Only 2 airports in Japan will take in flights from China and South Korea. All passengers will be subject to a 14 quarantine. Japanese residents are most likely asked to stay at home (not sure whether after Monday that will still be true)
2. New measures are being taken for incoming ports of call from China, South Korea, Macau and Hong Kong (currently only ask to NOT use public transportation (only a request)
3. Doesn't seem like test for the virus of the new measures above are being taken
4. On March 9 measures on the position of quarantining will be taken
5. Tourist places are hurting badly (I really think all casino will be closed in America, but not one person said anything about my post regarding that )?
6. Guest in Hokkaido have dropped by as much as 6 million people ( I would think the airport there is like 95% empty)?
7. Fear of students from China and South Korea may not show up for class ( I heard new visa in most cases are now being denied)
8. Share prices fell as much as 570 points ( have no idea what that means)
9. Small businesses will soon feel the effect on their businesses ( and there are millions in the major cities across the country)
10. Test for the corona virus are now covered by the National Health Insurance. Those not insured maybe cost is $200
11. one new doctor infected
12. Hokkaido 90 now infected ( I don't have the current number so that may be wrong)
13. 17 new cases March 6 Friday
14. 364 cases in Japan (subject to change today)
15. Seems like all major cherry blossom festivals are now being canceled (people don't come to Japan to see them, they are being canceled
16. Train station personal infected (update unknown on his condition)

Some notes:
1. expect employment to be handle differently
2. vacant airplanes still traveling for a while (vacant means passengers with emergencies)
3. employment in the entertainment business may come to a halt
4. restaurants may see a decline and business and start laying off ( here, not that I would go anymore, but the sushi houses parking lots are not what they were a week ago

Take care everyone (will it actually be 6 months or 12 months)?

I believe Hawaii is our 27th state...

I think I have it. I’m sicker than I can remember being. It started with a sore throat, then went to a stopped up nose and fever, sweating and freezing. Lethargic, no energy, and a bad cough. I’m in Tennessee. This is the third day and it’s worse.

Another thing that may or may not be anything, the internet is down in my entire city. I’m using mobile data to post this and even it seems to be throttled and extra slow. I contacted the internet company and they said something has happened in Austin, TX.

It all seems a little too coincidental to me. I’ve been trying to look up the symptoms all day and I can barely load a webpage.

- The most common symptoms are fever (88%) and dry cough (68%). Exhaustion (38%), expectoration of mucus when coughing (33%), shortness of breath (18%), sore throat (14%), headaches (14%), muscle aches (14%), chills (11%) are also common. Less frequent are nausea and vomiting (5%), stuffy nose (5%) and diarrhoea (4%). Running nose is not a symptom of Covid.

That’s pretty much it right there. I think this has spread a lot further than anyone is wanting to admit.

He tested positive.

Maybe he had allergies? Another strain?..

Good catch by the way..

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Some people infected with the virus have no symptoms. When the virus does cause symptoms, common ones include low grade fever, body aches, coughing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sore throat. However, COVID-19 can occasionally cause more severe symptoms like high fever, severe cough and shortness of breath, which often indicates pneumonia.

I just learned that the local school district brought a bunch of kids back, about a week or week and a half ago, from Italy.

Not a peep on the local media about it. No word as to if they are in isolation, or have returned to their home schools.

This is the kind of info I am looking for in this thread. But alas, no one likely cares about it if you are, in fact, posting from the moon or Mars. Without a mention of your LOCATION, the info you provide is pretty useless, don't you think?
