Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

by Simon in

jw
friends

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Not all states delayed lock-down measures. NY dragged their feet and encouraged keep living as normal - under 40 or 50 yr. olds to carry on the social/nite life. I understand no one wants to be an alarmist. No special directives for seniors. Even California took a protective course.

Regardless - I think many heavily-populated tourist cities have had this virus spreading around since November. I've never been around so many people with colds, sore throats, red eyes, etc., (housekeepers to service oriented operators - manicurists, dentist, hair stylists) in my entire life. Quick cares stuffed full with people - (more than one visit) younger people (older ones, also) - 20 to late 40s that I'm aware of. Call it the flu - I'm not so certain. This area is crawling with Chinese who travel back and forth monthly/weekly and live both places. Not good odds.

You heard it here first. U.S. District conventions CANCELLED!

by nowwhat? in

prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.

lost jobs can't afford to go.

not allowed any vacation time rest of year.

Maybe it was just being pondered but heard everything was cancelled out west. Who knows - I'm shocked the Governing Goons would take measures to protect anyone but the sheeples are their slush fund investment.

Covid 19 - expert says it's hype!

by The Fall Guy in

lol!

having commented earlier on experts' differing views, here's a prominent german physician/politician - wolfgang wodarg - who made controvorsial statements that the coronavirus "pandemic" is not out of the ordinary and that italy's mortality rate (8,215 deaths from coronavirus so far) is no greater than it would normally be from the 'flu virus.

in 2017/18 approx 18,000 italians died due to the flu.. the wikipedia section - controversial theses in the 2020 covid 19 crisis - is worth examining.

Dominelvimus-Di - condolences to you and your wife. This COVID-19 is such a threat to all (other than babies/youth, possibly) and seems health care workers going from home to home and in and out of several assisted living/memory care facilities are a threat to the residents. So sad.

Spare a thought for the nuisance callers

by Ultimate Axiom in

up till now i have generally received (on average) one or two nuisance calls a day –sometimes more, sometimes none.

although retired, i was out of the house about 20% of the time, but now that i’m home 100% of the time, i haven’t received a single nuisance call since the lockdown.

is this just me, or is covid19 having a sever impact of their incomes?

LV101

I normally get several but notice there's only a couple per day now -- keep the land lines' ringers turned 'off' but the caller ID is full of this junk. They've easy access to my cell nos. re/online shopping - if that's how they acquire numbers. Several calls come in from prison locations here. if you don't answer they just call from normal cell numbers. So annoying. Perhaps many of these prisoners will be released soon (like in other states) and they'll be able to solicit in person.

UK Government web site - Covid 19 is no longer an H.C.I.D.

by The Fall Guy in

"as of 19 march 2020, covid-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (hcid) in the uk.. now that more is known about covid-19, the public health bodies in the uk have reviewed the most up to date information about covid-19 against the uk hcid criteria.

the advisory committee on dangerous pathogens (acdp) is also of the opinion that covid-19 should no longer be classified as an hcid.

Yes, caves - it's one of those things that seems to be on our minds and we might as well strap in -- it's gonna be a rough nite - or few weeks. It's hard to imagine - I don't panic but this is surreal although we have much to be thankful for and try to do what we can for others. Our lives have certainly changed 180 degrees. Hope you're able to calm - there should be a beautiful sun shining tomorrow, right.

What the hell do they care what they call it - this is nerve wracking for the average lay person and unimaginable what those in the front lines -- hospitals, health-care professionals/employees are experiencing. It's going to be a rough ride the next 2 to 3 weeks for this country (world in general) as we live through the steep upward trajectory of COVID 19 and it's 200,000 projected deaths here - a living horror. Even when we reach the apex it's a slo-mo downward curve.

If You're Just Here to spread Your TDS, It's Time to Say Goodbye

by Simon in

if all you want to do it deliver a constant whine of "orange man bad" then find someplace else to do.

it.

frankly, i can't be bothered with the bullshit anymore.. honestly, your politics and the whole virtue signalling woke brigade has actually started causing real deaths and was ruining life for many before that.. if you can't control your disease, then i'll do it for you.. it's not open for debate..

LV101

No wonder we don't have enough masks, ventilators, gloves, gowns -- good to know our political leaders (can't wait to find out which liberals and conservatives in power) have been selling the Americans out for long time padding their pockets and now siding with the CHICONS.

Snare - here's to a quick recovery. Get rest as you'll probably be back out there in the front lines soon.
