YES YOU ARE INVITED TOO it isnt just for us somewhat older folks with comorbidities, COVID-19 is eager to accommodate you with ARDS long after ventilators stopped being available.
Please get it people: YOUR wellbeing is dependent on ALL OF US.
I wasn't surprised st the age I was surprised at the death with no symptoms :/ which is why I'm quarantining with the rest of the smarter population.

RNA-dependent RNA polymerase sucks! The mutant strains showing up should not be a surprise. Luckily most mutations lead to decreased infectivity/pathogenicity.
Fingers crossed that one of the mutations does not hit the evolutionary jackpot.

According to our national IC organization, over 80% of people in the IC with Corona are overweight.
High blood pressure and diabetes appear to be solid indicators of how fucked you are going to be when you catch Covid-19.
Good news:
Great steps are being made in Belgium with tests that show immunity. These tests are cheap and very easy to do at home. Once you are immune, you are basically safe to go out and about, since you wont be infecting other people anymore.

Germany CFR is now over .7
Italy is 11
US is 1.6
All these CFRS are rising dramatically except for Italy which seems to be settling out around 11

Harris county continuing to show fairly linear progression. Looks like we average 15 to 25% increases in cases day over day. 65% currently located in northwest part of county. Still 1 mortality
Please dont your bring your especially virulent strains down here love you though
Another major factor in mortality is simply nurse and doctor to patient ratio. I'm seeing ER nurses in NYC say they TYPICALLY operate at a 10 patient to nurse ratio which is not only something I've never seen here but I'm pretty sure is illegal. Apparently te ratios are even worse now, like 15 or 20 to 1. It is not possible for a nurse to provide care to 20 acute patients. In my hospital system I've never seen an er nurse assigned more than 5 patients at once and even that is rare. Typically more like 3

People in Turkey are reporting 400-500 deaths in one day, and the government has arrested ~600 people for reporting it online. Links show people talking about the situation, and also massive grave sites being built.

Reports from China say thousands and thousands of urns being shipped to Wuhan over the past couple days. More info will leak out over time. If you believe China's numbers, then you're too gullible to propaganda and damage control.

I'm sorry, Colours, you are only allowed to hate on America in this thread. China may only be applauded. We all know they are only ever accurate in all reporting and are the most respectful to human life in all regards.

I would still be wary of things like this, considering there are reports of people being reinfected...
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/27/822407626/mystery-in-wuhan-recovered-coronavirus-patients-test-negative-then-positive
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-03-13/china-japan-korea-coronavirus-reinfection-test-positive
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2020/03/16/covid-19-reinfection-becoming-an-issue-in-china-strategist-says.html
This could prolong this situation for a long time. And if there are multiple waves, like there have been with previous viruses, then things are going to get very ugly.

That’s not linear. That’s exponential. The exponent being .15 -.25

feevers said: My cousin that I mentioned earlier is getting admitted. She was seen at Mass General's COVID clinic 2 days ago and they put her on 3 meds (at least one antibiotic) and multiple inhalers. No improvement since then and her test came back positive.
Her symptoms started like the flu, then she got pneumonia. Blood O2 in the mid 80s, cant take any more than the most shallow breaths without coughing, throwing up from coughing. Can barely make it up 3 stairs to get in her house. Shes only 30 and no real health issues previously. She has no idea who she got it from, she wasn't around any visibly sick people. Hopefully MGH can help her, they're supposed to be one of the best in the world but I feel like no one knows wtf to do at this point.
Curious, do you know how long approximately from when she developed first symptoms to when she was admitted?
I think I might be coming down with something. Swollen lymph nodes, had a sore throat last 2 days (its gone today though)
Nothing really respiratory related but I have a runny nose and been coughing a bit. Seems too mild to be covid but I have no idea, it might be allergies I spent a few hours cleaning up my backyard yesterday.
I hope your cousin gets better soon, sorry to hear she needs to be hospitalized
stay safe out there people

I read somewhere, cant recall where, that about 14% of infected are susceptable to being reinfected

Interesting. Nice to see some sober reporting about what is actually going on.
I’m kinda pissed right now. My wife is immunocompromised and basically being forced to continue working in the clinic I guess until she shows signs of infection. Fucking bullshit. Meanwhile healthy drs. Are getting paid vacation. Sure they are giving her envelopes of cash but that shit is about to lose all value. If she gets sick and there are major negative consequences I will fuck them up.
This situation is pissing me off. I can’t believe the other clinics are refusing to do testing and they are young healthy get paid more as dr.’s yet they get paid time off. I think when this shit is over the government or at least her clinic needs to hook her the fuck up. So much bullshit right now. I’m trying to make light of this situation.
Dip shits were coming in for routine evaluations saying they hadn’t traveled, no symptoms etc. they would come in without a mask sit in her face explaining why they there. Then “oh yea well my husband was in China last week and he’s home sick”. If I could find that mother fucker right now I’d shit in her bed.
They have done lots of tests and zero positives. That’s kinda reassuring except they can only test people who are good enough at faking the symptoms. You would be surprised by the amount of asshole’s who demand to be tested who are just fine. “Well I’m a nurse and I had my test one week ago and I feel just fine I haven’t heard anything back yet! How come the news anchor gets his test back in 4 days?” “This is just bullshit”. Well mam if you are a nurse and you’re fine why did you come to our clinic to get tested? Fucking asshole.

okay thank you enough I'm not good at math what I meant is that the percentage increases day over day is not itself increasing as in some areas.
Doesnt the r0 of influenza 1.3 mean the corresponding exponent is 0.3? If so then this is less contagious right now here in houston than the flu. Going strictly on number of confirmed cases of course
Please do correct me again if wrong

100 raised to the power of 0.25 is about 3 a 97% reduction in cases bro

You can't fake a fever lol
This may not be reassuring but a lot of nurses dont know how to do nasopharyngeal swabs correctly and if you dont, it is useless and your negative can be considered false
Watch a video of how it is done and correct them if they do it wrong
