Corona Virus Updates Part 4

a reply to: Tukota
Thank you Tukota. We'll be fine. We are very healthy except for the smoking. We both get a flu shot every year. I'm really not that afraid.

Just staying focused and aware. I just don't like the idea of not being able to go to work.

Here is an updated COVID-19 map from the ones that brought you the Wuhan Coronavirus Map..

My husband's employer called him last night to let him know that one of our drivers has been quarantined. His father-in-law 70yrs old is sick in the hospital after returning from vacation in Asia. He afraid the whole shop has iit. They had a BBQ at lunch last week. Joe was cooking. We are calling our doctor tomorrow. This is in lake county, I'll.

Ok, now I'm interested. Who is Joe? Your husband, his boss or the driver?

It seems it's spreading quickly in Illinois.

We only have one case here in WI... IF you choose to believe that.

"Hopefully, CoronaVirus-19 will not get anywhere near as bad as the common flu has been."
You do realize if you do the math for the numbers you laid out right there the death rate comes out be 0.14%

Pretty sure he meant the number of deaths, not the percentage...

Is that 12 more since yesterday? If so that has escalated exponentially! Sorry, losing track with how the numbers are going up in UK.

Without know how many real cases are not "confirmed" but did recover (or didnt even know they were sick), we can not calculate the real CFR.

^^^ THIS ^^^

I was just getting ready to respond with the same point.

If this thing really is as bad as the fear-mongers would have us believe, then that means that massive numbers of people are already infected, and have been - and recovered, without even knowing they had it.

And there is very sound reasoning to back up this claim. The very low numbers of confirmed cases that have fully recovered without ever getting seriously ill.

That one thing would change the number dramatically - but we likely won't ever know.

"That person is not dead. Their legs were flat on the ground at 23 seconds, then a leg was bent at the knee, and then you can see a hand moving right at the end. "

“Yet...”

Correct, after they were initially shot (they are a dissident that was targeted), they remained alive for a short time.

That statement is just as possible as any claiming they collapsed due to the virus. See how that works?

Hi ND. Joe is the guy who is being quarantined.

As far as Wis. We have more than just that one.

As I stated there is a possible one up here and they are trying to keep it hush hush. But being we are such a small community it gets out. This person is an older person with underlying health issues

Think of the possible ramifications of the postal worker testing positive in Seattle. Someone that goes house-to-house and interacting with mail. It's cold there now so wearing gloves hopefully minimized spread. Even if they worked inside one of the facilities and didn't go house-to-house all it takes is a sneezing for coughing on the mail.

Alex Azar just confirmed on Fox News the new IL case but didn't mention the Seattle postal worker case, unless it's presumptive.

*this same site says a high school basketball player in the Seattle area has also tested positive.

It is now known to have the beginning stage of infection and then to a stage of transmissions to 3 more stages. Someone on the forum posted this but was laughed at (something like that)

Laughed at? No. Challenged as to a source for the claim? Yes.

Exactly what I'm doing now.

Do you not see the irrationality of taking one persons unsubstantiated theory, then claiming it as fact?

Maybe it is true. If so, this thing could get a lot worse.

But we ... still ... do ... not ... know. PERIOD.

That's what I am seeing! So 35 new confirmed cases in about 48 hours! THAT is worrying!

JOE WAS COOKING! WOW, no wonder the whole damn shop is concerned as well as yourselves.

I hope you guys, as well as Joe & the rest of the shop, come through this ok.

That's a damn scary story though I have to say.

Hang in there.

Thanks - didn't even realise Wikipedia had a UK page on Corona Virus - the numbers are pretty crazy for such a short time, and with the amount of planes landing, can't see that reducing, or even staying low, for much longer...

expect oil and your pump prices to go down: Putin said in a statement that the price of North Sea crude oil traded on the London market fell to the low $ 50s a barrel last week, "Our economic policies set prices at: At $ 42 a barrel, the current level is acceptable. "
