Coronavirus

First, what I said only applies to me.

OnJustALark knowing that you're a complete Trump fan. And that I was hoping for an answer from you, and yes you fell into the trap. You didn't even notice that I used the same word as your President.
And I almost answer you that it was only a sarcasm.
But no, I couldn't wait to tell you.

Another thing and that is only for me.
When I start the hobby again, it will be with great respect for the limits of SP that I will meet.
And yes you are right, I stay at home.

I'm assuming all this talk about oral with or without a condom is all just jokes, right? You guys realize none of that makes a difference in terms of catching the virus...?

Dr. Fauci has been quarantined after being exposed to the positive tested press secretary to Mike Pence:

Fauci to begin 'modified quarantine'

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House's coronavirus task force, told CNN he will begin a "modified quarantine" after making a "low risk" contact with the White House staffer who tested positive for the novel...

The dude is 80 years old, although he seems reasonably fit and healthy. He says he will be tested every day, which seems excessive to me to have that long swab jabbed up his nostril to his ear every single day. I wonder if he and Trump get sedated for that, or if they man the fuck up and take it. I had an ENT doctor stick a camera tube into my nose and down my throat and he peeked into my larynx during the summer of 2019 after I had viral pneumonia and a chronic cough that lasted months. I was forced to man up and take it- no sedation, nothing. I just wonder if these power figures do the same or not.

Dude how the hell did a cock roach like Steven miller grab a cutie like pence’s press secretary? More perplexing and mysterious than Stonehenge

Look at this, California surfer dude taking a break from quarantine at a closed beach to exercise/participate in one of 4 permitted water sports activities (surfing) ends up getting killed by a shark:

California Coronavirus "cluster" traced to birthday party:

A birthday party was behind a cluster of coronavirus cases in Pasadena, California, according to health officials.

www.cnn.com

What's interesting is that a large birthday party in Westport (Fairfield County), Connecticut, for an adult, created a huge cluster of cases that spiked the infection count in Fairfield County in the initial stages of the pandemic. This is what happens when stay at home orders are not followed.

One of the few articles I have seen that attempts to quantify deaths from the lockdown (or whatever you want to call it).

As many as 75,000 could die from 'deaths of despair' as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. One expert says economic turmoil has always led to an increase in suicides.

"I think it's always important to think about suicide as individual vulnerabilities and context," Eric Caine said.

www.yahoo.com

As Hungry101 alluded to, there will also be Deaths of Delay, in addition to the Deaths of Despair, as the medical system rations preventive care (and even seemingly necessary care such as treating some tumors with drugs instead of a faster route to surgery), but you won’t see much quantification of that due to its use in potential lawsuits.

A true economic analysis would also involve years lost to the various scenarios, and even quality years lost, but that is a political hot potato, especially in an election year.

I agree with your comments so much.

Yes it is true this economic analysis will never be done. I think of the USA which with their 80,000 dead and their famous president who keeps saying that thanks to him and his team, they avoided the worst. Imagine all the lives lost because of all the collateral problems.

I have never seen before a president having any empathy, a president who has no humanity and that for him alone the economy counts, because he wants to be re-elected. The problem is that many Americans are sheep and who believe everything that their president says. Don't think he says it all for you, but no he doesn't care about you.
Today 47 states out of 50 begin their deconfinement.
Honestly I hope it works for all of these humans who live in the USA.

How was Easter for white Obama Trudeau who invoked Jesus to gather the Canadian sheep to stay home while he created a carbon print to fly off to his family cabin in Quebec ... mask-less am sure ... and then with his detail of people ... how was the "cake" you got to eat ... you know Marie Antoinette

I know two people who got the bug...sounds pretty nasty....fever lasting for close to 2 weeks with atrocious coughing...didn't die but took 3 weeks to recover. The two are "relatively" young, one early 30s and another early 40s. Then, there is the stigma of getting the bug. The bug never really goes away. It stays within your body and re-activates if your immune system is weak.

This is quite a strong statement. I suggest you submit paper to Lancet ASAP. May qualify for Nobel

There are many reports about people who got the bug and then get re-infected. A number of researchers suggest
the virus get re-activated. Look at the Bloomberg report:

The coronavirus may be “reactivating” in people who have been cured of the illness, according to Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Interesting how the reality deniers are downplaying the deaths as mostly the old and health compromised who were going to die soon anyway. As well as the 50% who are asymptomatic. The myth believers who consider covid19 to be fake news or a conspiracy by the evil left.
That is until they realize that 20% of those who catch covid19, end up in the hospital. They include young adults and kids who go through weeks of hell with high fever and other complications that may last a lifetime.
Me I`ve always been a risk taker and believe that life ain`t worth living if you are not living on the edge. I`m not afraid for myself but am concerned for the health of my kids and grand-kids.

Explainer: South Korean findings suggest 'reinfected' coronavirus cases are false positives

South Korean health authorities raised new concerns about the novel coronavirus after reporting last month that dozens of patients who had recovered from the illness later tested positive again.

www.reuters.com

It’s likely remnant viral nucleic acid getting picked up, N it’s not “a number of researchers suggesting”, it’s the South Korean CDC fucking wondering if reinfection is possible and now leaning on “no”

 

[jalimon]

to stay home while he created a carbon print to fly off to his family cabin in Quebec ...

His family cabin is at Lac Meech in Chelsea, Quebec. About 15km from the parliament. Actually since the renovation of 24 sussex this 'cabin' was often used by him and family as main residence (now they have move to a bungalow on Rideau hall). More carbon print was wasted by your non fact checking and pure non sense on this board.

If that's the case, that's good. I was thinking of permanently social distancing those two people that I know who got the bug.

If you need medical help you go to a hospital not to a news agency. Having positive results for the virus does not mean that the person is re-infected and have a disease. We have a whole bunch of pathogens in our body but for the majority they will never be active. Take for example tuberculosis. In some countries more than 50% of population test positive on the presence of the pathogen but they will never get sick. I am far from medical field and biology, but it is not hard to find all this information in respectful sources.
