Coronavirus

maybe well be able to slow the spread enough to get a chance for a vaccine to be developed (timeline uncertain, and so far the science seems to indicate that the immunity developed post-infection is weakly protective) or maybe a treatment that may help people suffering from the most severe forms of COVID-19

Thanks for the explanation
The immunity post infection is worrisome , anyways seems like we have a long way to go

I was taking notes until I noticed that she had cooked an egg for her Cat ,,, no way I can take her seriously now
but thanks for the vid Meta

P.s There is a lot of information out there that is confusing/conflicting
Some say that this damn virus can live on surfaces for days , and some that it can only survive for hours :/

À ce jour sur tva nouvelles:

La progression de la pandémie de coronavirus aux États-Unis, pays du monde comptant le plus grand nombre de cas officiellement déclarés, a atteint samedi de nouveaux records, selon le comptage de l'université Johns Hopkins.

Les États-Unis ont connu, au cours des dernières 24 heures, 453 décès liés au Covid-19, un nouveau record qui porte le bilan dans le pays à 1891 morts depuis le début de la pandémie.

Les États-Unis comptent pourtant depuis jeudi le plus grand nombre de cas officiellement déclarés dans le monde.

L'université Johns Hopkins en dénombrait 115 547 samedi, soit 21,309 nouveaux cas en une journée (+23%), là aussi un nouveau record.

Au cours de cette crise, nous avons vu un président plus soucieux de sa propre image et de ses perspectives électorales que de la sécurité du peuple américain. Les présidents doivent montrer l'exemple et inspirer confiance. TRUMP a échoué sur tous les plans… parce qu’il est lui-même.

I have a question for merbites:

If an escort posts that she tested positive for coronavirus & after her quarantine she's ready to go back to work & see clients would you see her? Since she's already battled the coronavirus she would likely feel that she's now immune to it (although there still isn't proof of this) and figures from now on she has nothing to risk. Would you now agree to see her? Or should you still be afraid that she may carry the virus or previous clients of hers may turn out to be positive of the virus?

So far, most fatalities in Québec were over 80 years old.

The next waves are going to hit much closer to home

These are truly humbling times. Stay safe & healthy friends!

One more question:

Someone told me today that Quebec is now barring anyone outside of Quebec from entering the province (unless it's for essential reasons) by stopping incoming traffic at various entry roadways & highways at various areas of the province. Is this true? If it is are they turning people around at the airport?

Not sure about entering Quebec but this article has few info.

Not so ....

Cutting off non-essential traffic, within Quebec, to the 8 regions mentioned above ... and police at the U.S. border to monitor returning snow birds, as I understand it.

NHS director says “If we can keep deaths below 20,000 we will have done very well in this epidemic.”


That’s still a high number

I have a friend who left Québec because of family matters. Does that mean he can't come back to Montréal?

In your hands a few hours. On colder hard surface there has been trace found that survived 72h or more.

The most worrisome and probably the reason this virus is so contagious is the researchers found it can remain in the air for a few hours.

Rhode Island National Guard Searching Door to Door For New Yorkers

The message is pretty clear- Rhode Island does not want an invasion of those fleeing the virus:

It's not exactly like there is anywhere "safe" to go, anyway.

Interesting to learn 2 shipment of 5000 urns were sent to Wuhan. But China reported 3000 death. If they had really told the absolute truth do you think america and europe would have been better prepared?

It's quite probably they didn't report the real numbers... but then there's also just a lot of people in China dying from other things quite regularly. So maybe some of those urns are for that...

I think you answered your own question.

Would you now agree to see her? NO, because if she had the virus, it's probably (I mean probably) that she didn't respect confinement, whatever the reason, for me it's impossible to trust this escort.

If China had really told the absolute truth do you think america and europe would have been better prepared?

thats a tough one. On one side, there are countries that have better handled with testing. USA had plenty of time to get tests kits ready, make sure they have a reasonable amount of ventilators and PPE for providers. Wouldn’t blame Trump completely as his health minister and CDC chief are supposed to be his eyes and ears. You also have to take into account the nature of the pathogen, it’s highly transmissible and has a wide variety of ways it can manifest clinically, that’s prob how it spread like a bushfire in Europe. Yea u can blame China so much, yea they shoulda been more transparent, but I’d say it’s better to blame the virus more?

 

[EagerBeaver]

I think most of the experts were surprised by how contagious the virus manifested itself to be. They expected it to behave like similar viruses had in the past and it didn't, so we were all caught unprepared. It's not something they had seen before. What's concerning is that we are not doing a great job flattening the curve, meaning a lot more immune systems are being tested than we would like to see and many cannot handle the infection without treatment. The hospitals could overflow to the point where people will be dying while waiting to get treated.
