Corona Virus Updates Part 5

originally posted by: carewemust
I see that CNN is showing a big banner on the right of the screen showing TOTAL covid-19 cases in the USA and the World.

They should show ACTIVE cases...which is more realistic to the RIGHT NOW.

If you'll recall, we don't actually know the number of active cases. We know the number of active cases that were tested (a small percentage of the population, restricted by certain rules) an average of four days ago.

For example, look at the Dallas area data from Johns Hopkins:
Dallas, Texas, US
Confirmed: 549
Deaths: 11
Recovered: 0
Active: 538

Now, I know that can't be right. There've been people who had it and have recovered (or so I presume.) The death count is probably reasonably correct. The number was updated just last night, so at least some of those are still active. But unless they have a way of monitoring and confirming who recovered (not likely here in Texas with a big shortage of tests and testing sites) we're just not going to get the data.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo diagnosed with coronavirus; he will continue working from home

I'll pray. But for which way???

edition.cnn.com...

I never thought I would say this. Chris has been more fair about reporting things than Don Lemonhead. Man, I can't stand that guy.

No matter who it is, I wish them a speedy recovery from this.

NYS Assem. Chris Friend calls for personal protective equipment for corrections officers.

But... but... I thought masks and gloves were a bad thing to use for this virus...

Daily update from Vermont: 293 confirmed cases, 13 deaths

From French Live Feed :

Acting Navy Scretary Thomas Modly, replying to CNN :

The Navy did not respond to The Chronicle’s requests for comment Monday, but on Tuesday morning as the news spread, the Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly spoke to CNN.

“I heard about the letter from Capt. Crozier (Tuesday) morning, I know that our command organization has been aware of this for about 24 hours and we have been working actually the last seven days to move those sailors off the ship and get them into accommodations in Guam. The problem is that Guam doesn’t have enough beds right now and we’re having to talk to the government there to see if we can get some hotel space, create tent-type facilities,” Modly said.

“We don’t disagree with the (captain) on that ship and we’re doing it in a very methodical way because it’s not the same as a cruise ship, that ship has armaments on it, it has aircraft on it, we have to be able to fight fires if there are fires on board the ship, we have to run a nuclear power plant, so there’s a lot of things that we have to do on that ship that make it a little bit different and unique but we’re managing it and we’re working through it,” he said.

“We’re very engaged in this, we’re very concerned about it and we’re taking all the appropriate steps,” Modly said.

BBC Article : "Calling all (UK) 3D Printer Owners."
www.3DCrowd.uk
(Other Countries might want to do this also).

Shortages of personal protective equipment are proving to be a serious problem for healthcare workers on the front line of the battle against coronavirus.

One doctor from the UK has come up with a novel solution involving 3D printers.

James Coxon is calling on 3D printer owners to use their machines to make face shields for the NHS.

His 3DCrowd UK group has already made and donated thousands of 3D-printed masks made by volunteers.

“We are basically asking all the people around the country with 3D printers to join our project to create face shields for hospitals and other health workers,” said Gen Ashley from 3DCrowd UK.

From the Guardian Live Feed :

- 7.27pm : "A group of 28 spring break tourists who returned to Texas from the Mexican beach resort of Cabo San Lucas have tested positive for coronavirus"

About a week and a half ago, approximately 70 people in their 20s departed in a chartered plane for a spring break trip. Some of the group returned on separate commercial flights. Currently, 28 young adults on this trip have tested positive for COVID-19 and dozens more are under public health investigation.

That was a good letter that the Captain of the Roosevelt wrote. He is obviously concerned for his crew. I hope that he gets an affirmative response from his superiors very quickly.

Well, the numbers for Oneida county NY continue to go up 46 now, along with our first death unfortunately.

This is really interesting. A free software that does virus modeling. Interesting results this person got.



I am playing around with it myself, just to try different factors.

Guardian Live Feed :

8.38pm : "Boy, 13, becomes UK's youngest Coronavirus Victim."

A 13-year-old boy in London who tested positive has died, Kings College hospital has said. He is believed to be the youngest victim of the outbreak in the UK.

8.44pm :

According to the Press Association, the victim was 13-year-old Ismail Mohamed Abdulwahab from Brixton, in south London. His family has said he died in hospital in the early hours of Monday and had no apparent underlying health conditions.

8.52pm :

Ismail started showing symptoms and had difficulties breathing and was admitted to King’s College hospital.

He was put on a ventilator and then put into an induced coma but sadly died yesterday morning. To our knowledge he had no underlying health conditions. We are beyond devastated.

Sadly, he died without any family members close by due to the highly infectious nature of Covid-19.

I have a sad update on my friend's uncle. He passed away 3 days ago from CCP Virus. He was initially expected to die, then he was given some treatment and he seemingly improved for about 3 or 4 days but then he was removed from respirator and died.

This happened in Boston hospital.

He was a man in his early 60s and I do not know if he had pre existing conditions.

Has anyone seen the videos being shared online of Italians either burning the EU flag or replacing it with the national one??

Italian politician Fabio Rampelli removes the EU flag from his chambers and replaces it with the national one.

If the Coronavirus did one good thing, that was expose the European union for the inept bureaucrats they are.
