Corona Virus Updates Part 5

Completely forgot that New Mexico has 23 Native American tribes that live in nineteen Pueblo’s, three Apache tribes (the Fort Sill Apache Tribe, the Jicarilla Apache Nation and the Mescalero Apache Tribe), and the Navajo Nation. They are sovereign lands, so for all intents and purposes, when you drive through them, which is very often, you’re not on US soil. Point is that they’re reporting COVID #s independently of New Mexico and as of today Navajo Nation, which I think is the largest of them (bordering NM, AZ, UT & CO] issued a shelter in place order effective today. They have 14 cases, community spread and a lot of tribal elders.

Navajo Nation Issues “Stay at Home” Order for All Residents of the Navajo Nation to Fight the Spread of COVID-19

“We are getting many reports of people still being out in public and putting elders and everyone at risk. This is a very serious situation and if need be, we will take steps to enforce the “Stay at Home Order” even more. The more people go out in public, the greater the risk is for a massive health crisis on the Navajo Nation. We are telling our people to stay home to protect themselves and others, which will help our health professional take care of those who need medical attention,” said President Nez.

In a short period of time, COVID-19 has arrived on the Navajo Nation and the number of cases remains at 14 as of Friday. The degree of contact of contagious individuals and the subsequent degree of exposure is unknown and continued person-to-person spread throughout the Navajo Nation thereby poses an extensive and substantial public health risk, according to the order.

All that said it’s entirely possible New Mexico has way more cases than is reported. Any state with a large swath of tribal lands really. And hen with the casinos... Those are on tribal lands as well but the leaders have all cooperated with our Governor to close them for the next two weeks. At least the few near ABQ. There’s one very 25 miles here...

This sounds promising.

'Stay Indoors Or Risk A Year In Prison': Jordan Blows Sirens At Start Of Virus Lockdown

Jordan has imposed an unprecedented nation-wide curfew on Saturday to combat the spread of coronavirus at a moment its official confirmed number of cases approaches 100. As of Friday health officials said Jordan has 85 confirmed infections while emphasizing they expect numbers to rise rapidly.

"Jordan blew sirens at the start of a nationwide curfew on Saturday, limiting the mobility of its 10 million citizens indefinitely to combat the spread of coronavirus, witnesses and officials said," Reuters reports.

The round-the-clock ban on residents going outside started at 7am with warning sirens literally sounding across Amman. The new curfew is being widely described as the most severe measure any country has imposed on a nation-wide level thus far in the crisis.

"Anyone going outside will be subjecting themselves to punishment," Justice Minister Bassam Talhouni said in an Arabic broadcast. Already at least 400 were arrested Saturday. "Nearly 400 people have been arrested in Jordan for violating an indefinite curfew introduced on Saturday that bans people from leaving their homes even to purchase food," The Guardian reports.

My father was tasked into a silo right after President Kennedy was assassinated. Many years later, he told me "both keys were in" and joked about the code being 000000 to make sure nobody f'd it up. Later, 000000 became public info.

Yathink both keys are in right now? Feel lucky CCPunk? Every blade of grass.

Reuter’s map was at 4.1 death rate for days. Today it shows 4.3.

Hopefully this part will not last very long....

does anyone know what Germany are doing to keep their fatality rates low?

No , but if I had to guess I would say lying.

Your immune system takes a hit after a flu jab, so you end up picking up another strain. That would figure in money driven pharmaceuticals.

I dunno.. I dont get the feeling Germany would do that or its people would allow it.

They are no different to us, well other than dry humour and how fastidious they are

Were all passengers on this ride, most of our western cultures are very similar in how they work, the people are given the illusion of voting for change, at the end of the day were are all tax slaves, at least most of us....moo !

The first thing I thought of was how horrible and crowded most prisons in many countries are. 50 people in a room designed to hold 20 at most; add one carrier of COVID-19 and what do you have....probably not a happy ending IMO.

Edit to add ... Bangkok is shut down but IMO to late as those who could, have returned to their homes up country.. As of today there was a 188 jump in reported cases bring the total to 599.. I would bet that number will double or triple in the next 2 to three weeks... sad but a possibility

I think it could be a couple of things, besides those mentioned by others already. They may have tested more than others, which would mean other countries have a whole lot more cases, this would also predict that we would soon see an increase in deaths in germany. Or there is discrepancy in how they are reporting deaths compared to other countries. Which is something that i heard, dont know if it's true, but i have no doubt every country has their own rules regarding reporting, which is a bit of shame because it makes a lot of the stats not very reliable and becomes hard to plan strategies. But what i heard is that they dont count it as a covid-19 death if they also had another illness.

I got a question here: Do any of you have any info on testing in Japan. Actually I haven't heard of recently of any mass testing. I'm puzzled also about the Tokyo Olympics. You see they built a lot of condo/apt. for everyone for the people in the Olympics , and guess what, its my understanding that they are all sold out . I wonder if the market crashes will any one still have a job to pay for them new condos. A lot of money went into this Olympics, much of it know really knows who got a sh# load of money invested in it.

Damn, USA! It's not the Olympics. I am scared to even imagine what numbers we will be seeing in two weeks.
