Corona Virus Updates Part 5

a reply to: elitegamer23


Thank you very much.

Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who inspired the global school climate strikes, says it is “extremely likely” she has had the Covid-19 virus.

The teenager, whose solo protest outside the Swedish parliament kickstarted the global youth campaign, said in a post on Instagram that she had self isolated after she and her father returned from a trip around central Europe about two weeks ago.

A few days later she said they both began to feel ill, and she complained of feeling tired with “shivers, sore throat and cough”.

Thunberg said she had not been tested for the virus, in line with the policy in Sweden, and was now “basically recovered”.

She stopped being relevant, and her handlers needed some press.

90 cases in Hawaii.

And the first fatality, an elderly man with “severe chronic diseases.” Died on Friday, tested posthumously. Positive results today.

FYI: Thousands of potentially infected New Yorkers have been fleeing the city, and arriving in warm Florida, every day for the past two weeks. Florida...where millions of Covid-19 VULNERABLE SENIORS reside.

Oh, that is just swell... Thanks bunches, New York.

And how are the people arriving by automobile going to be forced into that 14 day quarantine?

Not to mention that once they get sick here, they will be taking up hospital beds that the senior residents living here sure could use.

JMHO, but I think we have dodged the bullet this time. It ran just long enough to disprove the deniers, and expect a continued PITA for two to three weeks because of the Wuhan China Virus. But the answers and remedies seem obvious to me. Actually, in net, I think many good things will come from this "event."

Before I go back to another long time lurk mode, just want to express my profound thanks to DTOM, the other mods, and all the ATS posters that provided early warning and critical information to make this just a mild inconvienience. Best wishes to you all. Really hope we dont have to do this again.

That is odd. I distinctly do NOT remember hearing that bullet whizzing by yet.

Just the fact they said “ Wuhan China virus “ should say enough.

Does trump have an account on here ? Jk

I know something big is going to take place after the Olympics in Tokyo, Japan and possibly elsewhere.

New Coronavirus When “Capital Blocked”
Governor Koike of Tokyo spoke at a press conference on the "city blockade." The governor said, "Depending on the future trends, there may be situations where strong measures such as blockade of cities, so-called lockdowns may be forced to take place."

Stay tune. Remember I said basically there is no testing here for the average Joe. Not yet anyway. I sure hope the Japanese Self Defense force is ready to build them tent hospitals fast.

Growing slowly,but... 1,219 people who were infected in Japan or who were travelers or returnees from China or Europe,

As of this post, there are 266 cases in the greater Houston area, of which 28 are hospitalized. That yields a 10.5% rate of hospitalization for our area.

...there are more than 85 hospitals in the Houston area with more than 19,300 beds, including those in TMC.

About Houstom - Health

With a population of 6,997,384 people as of 2018 census estimates,

Greater Houston - Wikipedia

19,300 is approximately 10.5% of 183809.

183,809 is approximately 2.62% of 6,997,384.

If a little more than two and a half percent of the population of the Greater Houston area contracts the virus and approximately 10.5% of those require hospitalization as has been the trend thus far, the Greater Houston area will have had its healthcare system maxed out.

That is if we kick out everyone in a hospital bed now.

In the US, more than twice as many have died as have recovered; recovery takes weeks.

As ketsuko said way back, if this thing is going to kill you, it will do so faster than it will take you to recover; if you recover.

500k barrier likely breached in 24-48hrs and then it soars.

Trump seems a little confused and bewildered to me, and I like the guy, for all his faults. I hope the US has a cure I really do. I just don’t think you do, not really. It’s hopemongering. Yes be honest, we all need some hope right now.

Covid-19 is taking off around the globe and the outcome will be horrendous unless a cure is found. I hope chloroquine is the saviour some are suggesting. It could literally save 10’s of millions from death.

Yeah, it looks to me that Trump is a fish out of water right now. This medical pandemic stuff just isn't his forte. He is a business man and knows business, and can apparently play the political game too when he wants to. But he doesn't know what to do about this, and unfortunately everyone is waiting for him to lead us out of this. He knows he should just turn over everything to experts in the medical field, but he also knows that his enemies will crucify him for appearing to be unconcerned, aloof, and not being "hands on" with this problem.

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes for love nor money. And quite possibly he is wishing he weren't in his shoes neither.

IMHO.

a reply to: Rich Z and Drucifer

Yup. When compared to a parallel universe where the virus
(that escaped by incompetence at a BSDL-4 bio weapons lab in Wuhan China)

where that virus could have had >15% mortality (instead of less than 0.5%),

where that people did not develop a immunity (real world greater than 40 days),

where that virus had no known treatment (i count at least 4 in successful trials),

where that virus was so contaigous that walking past someone was enough to infect them (only 1 in 1000 people in NYC are infected at this point?!?),

where that virus caused severe illness in a majority of people infected (looks like a majority of infected people dont even know they had it)

Yeah, I'll take this universe over that universe, and be glad we dodged that bullet.

But, by all means, continue to hope this is the end all that will bring a communist utopia where there are no planes, no cars, no heat, no food and no people. If nothing else, it is a good thought experiment on what could happen next time we are not as lucky.

I have to laugh that many of the same people that vote for the likes of Pelosy and Shumer are the ones that get hurt the worst by their games.

With that, I am going "hard permalurk," and enjoying my preps, until it is safe to venture back out in a few weeks.

(If you didnt follow any of the above items, please reread threads #1 thru #5)

Stay safe. GN.

UPDATE: A Texas lawyer is forming $20T class action lawsuit against China, for damages due to China accidentally releasing its Wuhan bioweapon experiment virus upon the rest of the world, and covering it up to save face for the CCP. That is about $3T more than total assets of the CCP.

Dr. Faucci just implied during the White House daily briefing, that New York should be sealed off because New Yorkers are fleeing to other states, particularly Florida, and taking the virus with them.

Yeah, watch cases start to blow up all along route 95 as they head south via automobile.

White House, Senate reach late-night deal on massive $2T coronavirus stimulus package

"The White House and Senate leaders reached a breakthrough deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive and historic $2 trillion coronavirus relief package for workers and businesses, capping days of heated negotiations that had nearly been derailed by last-minute demands from House Democrats.

“Ladies and gentleman, we are done," White House legislative affairs director Eric Ueland announced as he left the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., near midnight. "We have a deal.""

In the short term this will probably help, the long term I'm not really sure about......

more positive cases realized purely thanks to increased testing

You actually don't think there are more cases than there were on March 1st?

Oh no doubt there are more cases today, but by the same token we're testing significant numbers of people now when we were not on March 1st. That's presented a skewed growth curve. America did NOT go from 94 infected to 50,000 infected in 3 1/2 weeks... we simply went from 94 known infected from a smaller sample size to 50,000 known infected from a significantly larger sample size in 3 1/2 weeks. Trying to discern the jump in cases from insufficient testing to more widespread testing from the number of actual new cases is about as useful as trying to read tea leaves to obtain next week's Powerball numbers.

So, how many UNKNOWN asymptomatic victims spreading the contagion do you suppose there were back on March 1 that didn't get tested UNTIL they started showing symptoms? How many UNKNOWN asymptomatic victims spreading the virus do you suppose there are out there now? No, we don't know those numbers. But do you really think it would be wise to assume the best rather than the worst? You don't really believe that everyone is catching the virus only from people displaying symptoms, now do you?

Yeah, I believe it is a good idea to hope for the best and plan for the worst, but in my opinion it will likely be a long time before we start seeing a glimmer of "the best" coming our way. IMHO.
