You know, pasting a wall of text from another source doesn't really contrib...


Never mind. Have at it.

But it's not really an update.

It does actully seem quite sensible apart from the "DUR yoo so stoopid" bits.
A link to the real text would be nice.

a reply to: sirric

Reads good, now pop us a link, please.
I'd like to read more.

OK, its possibly from this :
Chemrxiv. org

The text seems to be from medium.com, and google links to here :
www.smalldeadanimals.com...

Its in the comments section, 3rd comment down for me :

This is also at the beginning of the text he just quoted :

[Note from Kate — I’m allowing this to stay as the original Medium post was deleted. Be aware that the author has low trust factor and may have put the piece together from other sources without having a clue what he was writing about. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD IT AS A LEGITIMATE ARTICLE.]

then there is the same wall of text.

In the last 3–5 days, a mountain of anecdotal evidence has come out of NYC, Italy, Spain, etc. about COVID-19 and characteristics of patients who get seriously ill. It’s not only piling up but now leading to a general field-level consensus backed up by a few previously little-known studies that we’ve had it all wrong the whole time. Well, a few had some things eerily correct (cough Trump cough), especially with Hydroxychloroquine with Azithromicin, but we’ll get to that in a minute....."

Really? I hope that isn't the case. I think plagiarism is frowned upon here.

I just added an edit, its technically a wall of text in the comments section, 3rd one down, and is a copy of a post from Medium.com that was deleted for not respecting their rules.

Didn't refresh the page before asking for a link... nvm

a reply to: MonkeyBalls2

That's a relief.

Do you happen to know what the term "cross posting" might refer to?

Thanks for the linking of this articular as I was posting the WOT my computer crashed hard.

Phage

Just wanted to get the info out as quick as possible. Not good with formatting sources.

a reply to: MonkeyBalls2

Is that what might be termed a "discussion board?"

The Blog SmallDeadAnimals basically dissects the post, and adds who the poster is in real life, and other info about the text.

Linking to that would have been better than posting a full text, from Medium (but since deleted), without context.

Edit : The Archive.is link is just the original Medium.com post archived in it's entirety.

Have any animals displayed illness from this, though? From the reports on pets testing positive, it just seemed to be positive carriers, but nothing I saw about it actually causing respiratory illnesses

Info was previously posted in this thread about a domestic cat that had diarrhea. The owner was COVID positive, so they tested the cats feces and was positive. This took place in Europe, was either France or Netherlands... I don't remember which.

If someone could find out where all that originally came from it would be awesome. Assuming this all came from Cameron Kyle-Sidell, MD (with added unnecessary political comentary). His twitter feed has a lot more info this evening than it did this afternoon.

Edit to add... In regards to sirric's post


Edit again.. nvm... had to re read and see the name given now

Look at the Smalldeadanimals link, its not anything bad, just a Blog by some smart cookie called Kate.

She states where the text came from, who posted it, and why, with quotes from the dude, and some Doctor local posters on that blog site.
Worth a read, just to understand WTF it's all about.
Its nearly 4am here, so it took my mind some time to comprehend what was where, and which came first...

OK, last post before bed :

Heres an article from the Guardian on the Tiger, and other big cats, infected at the Bronx Zoo :

So, it appears they are saying there is a "slowdown" in cases and deaths in NY. Cuomo even said there were 594 deaths in NY on Sunday, lower than the 630 number from yesterday. The day is not even over yet so why is the number capped at 594 for NY.

Also, unless I am mistaken, there have been no updated new cases or new deaths added to the numbers as posted per the Worldometer site. What's stranger is the numbers have not moved at all on that site since 4 pm today, except for some cases in CA.

Not sure what is going on. Maybe they are trying to spin some positive news for the early Monday, Tuesday to help pump up the stock market but something definitely is weird with the new data.

Worldometer C-19 stats for US

I think Italy had a lower day and then it was back up again (finally seeing a consistent down turn). Seems to have really blown through NYC though so maybe it IS slowing down there? I find it odd that CA numbers are so slow to go up.

Have a look a the California state actions. Seriously, click through and see what they're doing.

Same with my state of TX.

Different setup. Most of the towns are far apart... BUT... if you've been following my updates, you know that the rollout of the test kits has been slow and that there's a big backup at the lab and that testing centers have been closed because of weather. Texas' numbers are REALLY unreliable.

A friend just outside NYC said that they are only testing those who need to be admitted to the hospital and with numbers of around 5K positive tests there per day...... that seems bonkers.

And it's under-testing. The US wasn't really prepared in spite of the early signs.

The Surgeon Gen said the next 2 weeks was going to be really bad so who the heck knows. It's all a mess.

He's an anesthesiologist, not an epidemiologist. I don't think the next 2 weeks will see the peak because there's a lot of resistance to stay at home orders and there's no consistent policy across the US. My guess (I'm not an epidemiologist) would be about mid-May.

About two weeks after Easter, we'll hit the peak.

Anyone care to guess why?..

I have no "street talk", but tomorrow, I'll be visiting the prefecture hospital with the wife. Maybe we can get some info then. Stay tune. The real big news here in Japan is that the school students "DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO THE CLASSROOMS". Seems they are smarter then the local governments. Got to give them a big hand on that one.

Sorry about the printing style here.
By the way, the stock prices went up, not sure why. Anyone have a guess on that .

1. U.S. presidential election
2. Opposition seeks to retake power in U.S. presidential election Former Democrat candidate Vice President Biden said to Trump, who said he would not wear a mask in response to the new coronavirus, `` should follow the expert opinion.
3. In India, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the entire territory has been closed since last month, and going out is prohibited except for grocery shopping.
4. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced on the 5th that 143 new coronaviruses were infected, the largest number confirmed in one day in Tokyo, and 7 deaths were confirmed.

5. The number of infected people who died in Tokyo is now 30.
6. Europe saw further signs of hope in the coronavirus outbreak Sunday as Italy’s daily death toll was at its lowest in more than two weeks and its infection curve was finally on a downward slope. In Spain, new deaths dropped for the third straight day.
7. In Italy one can be fined €1,000 or slung in jail for up to three months if I leave my village without good reason
8. U.S. troops worldwide must wear masks, and sew their own if necessary, if they cannot maintain “social distancing” standards to protect against the coronavirus, the Pentagon announced Sunday.
9. The IRS plans to send electronic payments as soon as late next week to more than 115 million Americans as part of the $2 trillion coronavirus law, a week sooner than expected, according to a plan circulated internally Wednesday.
However, $30 million in paper checks for millions of other Americans won't start being sent out until April 24, because the government lacks their banking information. And some of those checks won't reach people until September, the document shows, underscoring the reality that many Americans could have to wait five months to receive their checks.

Well I'm having a MRI in the next few days I will report back with conditions in the hospital

a reply to: Byrd

I've seen your updates because I have followed almost every post since thread 1. I know TX has not been great with testing and that there is a back log. My best friend of 20 years lives in Houston and was tested. Took TWO WEEKS to get her results (neg even though she's been sick for a month and 2 co workers tested positive). My step daughter has had a cough for 23 days and a week and a half into her cough we tried to get her tested (Austin) but Dr said "There aren't many tests here".
