A place to consolidate CoronaVirus Stories
At least 2 pneumonia deaths in Feb. tested positive for Covid19 posthumously. I think there will be more.
Those are the scary ones.
Mortician, funeral home, hearse, everything contaminated.

I show:
That compares with a mortality rate of 0.095% for the flu in the U.S., according to CDC estimates for the 2019-2020 flu season.
So far this flu season, about 0.05% of people who caught the flu have died from the virus in the U.S., according to CDC data.

How about they make an anti-viral make-up?
Agree that ground glass appearance on chest CT is not the definitive diagnostic test to determine if an individual is infected with a COVID-19. If however if a patient is seriously ill with respiratory impairment and a chest CT is performed, that ground glass infiltrate is almost pathognomonic of COVID 19 infection in the acute setting. CT chest scans are typically done in American ICUs in people who develop an acute pneumonitis wit respiratory impairment As the diagnostic kits become available numerous people will be diagnosed with CODID-19 “infection”. However not until there is a huge increase of chest CT’s with the ground glass infiltrates, the disease is not causing China and Korea type outbreaks in the United States.
I was wonder if someone in the high risk group would benefit from the pneumonia vaccine? Would this help a high risk person survival rate if that caught the coronavirus

Wife ordered some replacement furniture legs from Amazon.
I just checked tracking and got a shocking news, shipped with China Post. That’s right from China, clearing customs now.
Guess we’ll have to refuse delivery.

We’re losing valuable time. Longer we take to implement tough mitigation steps in areas of outbreak like Seattle, the larger, longer our epidemic curve will grow. Should we consider emergency economic aid for cities that implement tough measures to mitigate local outbreaks? 2/n
FRANCE
COVID-19: mobilization of teams across the country - 92 new cases confirmed in France
published on 05.03.20
France is currently in stage 2 of the management of COVID-19 Coronavirus infection, which is characterized by several foci of infection spread over the territory and secondary cases.
The objective of the health authorities is to slow the spread of the virus on the territory. To slow down this diffusion is to attenuate the impact on the population during the transition to stage 3, the peak of the epidemic will be all the more limited.
This Thursday, March 5, 2020, 377 cases were confirmed on French territory, and 2 additional people died bringing the number of deaths to 6. It is a 73 year old from Oise and a 64 year old from Aisne.
I am sure the legs have been in some type of transit for more then 5 days...
USA: 153 Cases and 11 Deaths
That’s over 7%.

These outbreaks are local public health crises with direct national consequence. It’s a time for Congress to consider how we encourage states and cities to take tough local measures that sacrifice local economic activity for sake of nation. It’s time for collecting action.

I think the cat is out of the bag. It is to late...
Or a large number with ARDS no matter what the CT shows, which is a more clinically important indicator
btw, there are two main strains as per some scientific articles..one rapid death..one not. L and S, if i remember correctly
It is definitely late, but I believe we have to try and stop the spread through travel restrictions. It does slow it down, we’ve seen that happen in other countries where they limit travel to endemic areas. Any slowing would help our healthcare systems
Spray the box down with something antimicrobial and let it ‘age’ in your garage for a few weeks, maybe a month.
