Can someone translate this for us? Thanks in advance.

Only in America, it just amazes me that the one thing we focus on, because of the media, is freaking toilet paper, or the lack thereof.

Pandemics aren't bad for all industries, including plumbing.

Biggest city in Vermont is closing all bars/restaurants/similar venues after tonight and all schools closing after Wednesday

Outside it looks like business as usual except for less road traffic and panic buying at grocery stores, Wal-Mart/Target etc.

Hoping I can begin working from home after tomorrow if not I plan to either way... workplace (200+ employees) full on stress and anxiety all day and everyone is exhausted by 10AM due to all their adrenaline depletion from reading the news/social media too much

My fiancee had less than 50% of students in class today. We are stocked up on food for a good 2 months but less than that for our pets and nonessentials like TP, plastic wrap, etc.

Damn things escalated fast to say the least... even with me watching these threads since the first thread and posting on Front Porch Forum on February 2nd (which I received no responses to)

FL here, still the same.

GOD desantis is a joke.

Beaches still full. Life continuing as normal.

Watched local city council meeting, they hadn't even called the nursing homes to make sure they were following CDC protocols.

I'm not sure, if there is damage along any of the nerves the immune response has to be targeting them either through inflammatory signaling issues or the immune system finding viral antigen on the cells during its screening process. As soon as it finds something or the nerve cells say they're in trouble then they are tagged for destruction. It just seems weird though especially in nerves in the peripheral nervous system.

I keep saying crap shouldn't happen with this virus or its unlikely and I guess I need to stop. Now I'm researching why, is it damage closer to the CNS or farther out somewhere, maybe friendly fire in inflamed tissue. I honestly don't know but should have an idea on the next day or so when I ask subject matter experts and read up on it.

One of my best friends traveled to FL with his GF on Saturday for "vacation". GF is posting on SnapChat and we asked if they were still planning to go with no response. Denial, denial denial.

Are you still traveling to visit your son this month or reconsidering?

To all my Australian Friends..

many of our local carriers are offering free data for people with the current situation.

please check your local carriers

GA already declared a state of emergency. As far I know, that allows the governor to shut down interstate travel (but not supply chain of essential consumer goods) into the state. If Florida becomes a hot zone due to all those people, many will be traveling (via car) through Georgia.

Just a thought.

Also, computers are going to be critical for communication and keeping your families sane.

There's a Computer Help forum on this website and there's many IT Experts here

Don't be scared to post a thread looking for help - I'm a career IT specialist and will keep checking the forum.


There's great software out there (ie team viewer) that allow people to give someone permission to take control and fix issues. Its secure and no one can join unless YOU give them the password (that keeps changing)

Look up Cytokine Storm and Immune Enhancement as it relates to Vaccines.

could be a tainted flu vaccine. Or high blood pressure medication....Ace inhibitors.

The beaches should be full. UV kills viruses. It won't cure people who already have a virus, but it will absolutely kill virus particles on skin and surfaces reeving direct exposure.

Feels like what happened in Wuhan is happening here in the UK
The coverups

Think my work (NHS) not telling us how many ACTUAL confirmed cases there are
I've been debating posting about this all day but I feel I need to.

I want to keep as anonymous as possible

I work for a large city hospital in the NHS south of the country. I've worked the last 3 days. We have had a big influx of patients coming to a&e or via 999 with shortness of breath, fever etc with underlying health conditions. On one shift more then 3 tested positive (out of 10?) for covid-19 and were put in isolation. Now here is my problem. My trust just emailed me telling me we only have ONE case between all our hospitals.

This is completely false. We have 3 in isolation on one bay and one isolated in a cubicle on a ward on the top floor. I'm getting worried. I rarely believe in conspiracy theories and I normally agree with government advice when it comes to medical care. Our hospital today ran out of hand sanitizer, we have enough for wards but not the dispensers around the premises.

Are there any other hospital workers who have similar situations happening? I feel we arnt being told full infomation , is this government advice or cover up?

I did find this with SARS. Very very similar infection route to Covid-19. Spike proteins operate the same way, less severe but better affinity or binding than SARS.

They took humanized ACE2 mice and let the virus do its work.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection Causes Neuronal Death in the Absence of Encephalitis in Mice Transgenic for Human ACE2

Brain infection may result in long-term neurological sequelae, but little is known about the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV in this organ. We previously showed that the brain was a major target organ for infection in mice that are transgenic for the SARS-CoV receptor (human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2). Herein, we use these mice to show that virus enters the brain primarily via the olfactory bulb, and infection results in rapid, transneuronal spread to connected areas of the brain.

Great so there it goes right through the nose and directly into the brain.

Death of the animal likely results from dysfunction and/or death of infected neurons, especially those located in cardiorespiratory centers in the medulla. Remarkably, the virus induces minimal cellular infiltration in the brain. Our results show that neurons are a highly susceptible target for SARS-CoV and that only the absence of the host cell receptor prevents severe murine brain disease.

Death may not result, damage is at the control centers for these functions. Poor signaling, regulation and other issues could cause major issues especially because peripheral nerves are the only ones that can heal. The brain can rewire itself if there are alternate routes and damage is not extensive. This takes months or years and it works much better in young patients because of neuroplasticity.

Histological examination of the lungs revealed intense neutrophilic infiltrates (Fig. 3B and C) in six of seven cases, with foreign debris/bacteria present in five cases, suggestive of aspiration pneumonia. Low titers of infectious virus were present (Fig. ​(Fig.3G),3G), but we were not able to detect viral antigen in the lungs (Fig. ​(Fig.3C).3C). By contrast, after inoculation with 3.2 or 320 PFU of SARS-CoV, we detected viral antigen throughout the brain (Fig. ​(Fig.3D),3D), although the extent of infection was much less than observed after intranasal or high-dose intracranial inoculation (Fig. ​(Fig.3A;3A; see also Fig. ​Fig.4B).4B). Unlike mice inoculated intracranially with 3.2 × 104 PFU of SARS-CoV, the lungs appeared normal in all but one of four mice examined (Fig. 3E and F). In this single animal, we observed evidence of mild aspiration (data not shown). As in mice inoculated intracranially with 3.2 × 104 PFU, we detected no viral antigen in the lungs but did detect virus by plaque assay (Fig. ​(Fig.3G).3G). Collectively, these results suggest that SARS-CoV-infected K18-hACE2 mice die primarily as a direct result of CNS, not pulmonary, infection. They also suggest that the airway infiltrates detected in moribund mice are a complication of the brain infection, occur only after extensive neuronal infection, and are not required for a lethal outcome.

That giant wall of foreign language is important. Aspiration pneumonia in an animal model that is unable to vomit. Mice can't vomit which means due to neurological damage from SARS which is sometimes not present in the lungs caused them to aspirate, stomach contents go in lungs, and they develop pneumonia from whatever stomach contents entered the lungs.

That's really interesting but far from a human model. This has happened with elderly patients with neurological issues in the esophagus or alzheimers etc. I would be interested to see similar studies or data with this new virus and actual infections.

Agreed .. actually I’m usually looking for updates to this read to read comments on this. Quickly becoming the Zaphod of Covid-19.
