Did I hear that the US is the biggest financial contributor for WHO! Why am I not surprised.

656Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis 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.

Thanks for update, Simon -- I check under this topic to brace myself for the news. Who would ever trust anything they say in the first place - I realize countries are desperate for crumbs of reality but they've clearly concealed the numbers using the power of deception (communism - not that they're unique) and initially lied there is no human transfer with this virus.

Wash Your Hands to the Elbow (Maybe the Pharasees Had the Right Idea)
by RubaDub ini don't see anything about washing your hands for 20 seconds, but they did insist on washing the hands.. (there has to be some hebrew or greek word for hand sanitizer).

I keep hearing 20 seconds - sing Happy Birthday song twice/bla bla. I wash above the wrist because of smart watch and silicon band - have such raw hands/wrists having to slather on creams/lotions (day and night) which make hands feel yucky and dirt flying thru air must stick. Can't wear a watch any longer - thinking of removing ring - time consuming scrubbing. I tried wearing thin plastic gloves for few minutes this morning and wash them while on hands -- not good idea.
Hope the planet heats up real fast and miraculously burns the horror out - doubtful it will kill this monster.

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.

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 inlol!
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 inup 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?

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.

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.

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.
