Coronavirus

Did the U.K. get Covid-19 under control or eliminated entirely?

There is one cute brunette lady standing by a cop who has a mask on, but I am having trouble finding mask wearers or social distances in these photos.

If you want to tickle my gonads, by all means, just ask.

Beaches in England suck. Those crowds should be dispersed just based on that notion and nothing else

Think everyone made interesting points about coronavirus deaths. Medical technology is far more advanced than during the Spanish Flu.

On the flip side, the world population during Spanish Flu (1918-1920) was abt 1.7 Billion vs 7.5 Billion now with much of today’s population in developing, 3rd world countries where income inequality is huge and the poor over there receiving only marginally better medical care than in 1918-1920.

Take India, Indonesia & Pakistan for example; Coronavirus situation is really really bad over there. If the poor in those countries don’t work, they don’t even have money to eat so social distancing is not an option. Even the local media doesn’t cover the dire situation because what’s the point? Not going to change anything except make the police crackdown harder on the poor or scare away much needed foreign tourists & investors. Corruption & incompetence r so entrenched in their governments that a change of political leadership just means paying the same bribes to a different person.

But the healthcare systems haven’t collapsed in these countries simply because the admission price to enter a hospital increases, the greater the demand. A distopian version of free market economics. It’s a fact of life there, that if u r critically ill & don’t have the money to be admitted to a hospital, u just go home to die. Unlikely that those governments count these deaths.

So the combined present-day population of just India, Indonesia, Pakistan alone is about 1.7 Billion, roughly the same as the world population during Spanish Flu (1918-1920). So do the math and it’ll be apparent that unreported coronavirus deaths worldwide are already in the millions & Africa hasn’t really been hit that hard yet. Tens of millions seems like & will hopefully be an overestimate but regardless, at the end of all this, the eventual coronavirus death toll will be a shocking number to all.

To determine the death rate of a disease, why would you do anything other than divide the number of deaths by the number of people who have been infected with the disease?

I had never seen it from that angle.
Thank you for making me realize this whole problem.

To determine the death rate of a disease, why would you do anything other than divide the number of deaths by the number of people who have been infected with the disease?

because you will never know how many were actually infected with the disease seeing as many don’t show any symptoms or very mild ones which will not get reported and it is highly dependent on how much testing you do.
A country that does millions upon millions of tests will likely have a lower death rate.

For me it is much more realistic to know how many people die per million of population, even that is not totally accurate as some deaths that aren’t covid cases may be recorded as such as well as some that are will be assessed to other causes.
This however will show more realistically if that country is keeping things relatively under control.

30-40 million deaths world wide by the end of the winter cloudy?? Where r u getting that # from? Or did I misread?

I drink and I know things
Let`s revisit these posts in March 2021and see where we are at.

Let`s revisit these posts in March 2011and see where we are at.

why should we go back in time? We should move forward, not back. We were still dealing with H1N1 in 2011. Covid hadn't been created yet.

 

[Fradi]

I am sure he meant 2021, Typo

LOL....going back in time is quite an accomplishment that is only doable with a typo. Sorry, I meant March 2021

 

[The Nature Boy]

That’s a lot dude.

 

[cloudsurf]

Yes I agree its a lot...its huge and almost un-imaginable.
Yet remember that the numbers to-day , both of covid and the economy, were un-imaginable by most, 6 months ago.
Yes its a worse case scenario based on how dumb and self destructive some Homo-Sapiens are.
Best way to join the statistics is to refuse to wear a mask and attend crowded gatherings.

Because of the coronavirus which resurfaces in several countries, they are reconfining.

I think that's the only thing that can save the US, reconfine the whole country.

I wanted to give you guys an update on Covid testing. I posted earlier in this thread that I had the noninvasive Covid test done on June 29 and was tested negative. Results were back in a little over 8 hours. I am advised that the non invasive test now has become standardized and rapid results can be obtained in 20 minutes. My ladyfriend and I decided we are going to go and get tested later this week. There is a place locally that does it on a walk in basis and I texted them today and they confirmed they do the noninvasive test. She just got back from a trip with her GF to California, and we will be leaving for a trip to Maine soon.

I must caution that the non invasive test tickles. Swab is swirled around the walls of both of your nostrils in a rapid clockwise motion - it's like the motion with which you would stir a drink with a stirrer. It does tickle a bit. Anyway we are to get tested together. Hopefully we are both negative or there will not be any sex. And I want and need some sex because I haven't had any since March 5. We actually already discussed having sex once we get the results back.

'You can't do that': Trump argues with reporter over Covid-19 death figures – video

When Axios' Jonathan Swan pointed to the number of US Covid-19 deaths as a population percentage, Trump said: 'You can't do that'

This interview was interesting to say the least. He certainly has arrived at the conclusion that the current status in the USA is acceptable when he said “it is what it is”

Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Recently Recovered From COVID-19

This cohort study evaluates the presence of myocardial injury in unselected patients recently recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

jamanetwork.com

Statistically significant prevalence of myocarditis among Covid-19 recovered patients. Even patients who had no prior history of cardiac complexities are experiencing them post-recovery. Admittedly the sample size is too small (100 Germans), but I've been hearing similar anecdotes from healthcare professionals in my network. Perhaps, this will be confirmed with further investigation.

Heart issue ends season for Red Sox's Rodriguez

Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez won't pitch this season after being diagnosed with heart inflammation that team doctors believe was caused by the pitcher's battle with the coronavirus.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez done for season due to heart issue

“Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez will miss the rest of the season as he recovers from a heart issue, the team announced Saturday.

Rodriguez has been diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart that the team believes is a result of the left-hander's recent bout with the coronavirus. He tested positive for COVID-19 before the start of summer camp. While he was cleared and returned to workouts on July 18, he was shut down a week later after an MRI revealed his ailment...”

ERod is 27 years old....this COVID knows no boundaries...MLB is playing outside a Bubble.
Do we really need Professional Sports? Shouldn’t ALL Professional Sports “try” to form a Bubble?
I’m amazed that Not All Leagues are using a Bubble (MLB & NFL). Just put all the non Bubble Teams in Two Major Cities, with Low COVID Rates.....
