I had a horrible mess about 15 years ago. My very close friends wife called me to relay he had just arrived home and the maid said he was acting irrational. Wife called husband and tried to find out what was going on. She got out of him his refusing to go to the hospital and he wanted me to...

Reopening the economy without a hitch here. Malls and big box stores opening back up. Ministry of public health in conjunction with the CDC has established rigid guidelines. Went to a home builders supply today. Single entrance. Masks mandatory. If you don't have one they are selling them at the...

Updated info on the organism. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-53325771 I need to correct myself, in that the mortality rate is indeed flattened and a negative trend in the US. I inquired in an earlier post as to what significant factors this could be attributed to.

Exemplary infection outbreak response. https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/china-reports-22-new-coronavirus-cases-including-16-in-xinjiang There's been some talk in international circles about the long term effects. It's a little aggravating at present in that proper clinical procedures...

Probably taper off, like the 1918 H1N1 flu. So far they are tracking very similarly. Spanish flu averaged 19 million infections per month over 26 months. C-19, almost 5 million per month average and rising very steadily. Spanish flu had 5 waves, C-19 3+ months into the first.

CDC-HHS mass confusion: https://precoinnews.com/politics/inside-the-coronavirus-data-mess-the-trump-administration-created/ All depends: Population of Los Angeles: Population 3,884,307, 4850 sq mi. New York city Population 8,244,910, 210 sq mi. Bangkok, population 8,280,925, 605 sq mi. Jakarta...

Never got near it. Reasonably accurate ultra easy to interpret charts. First chart, top left, infection history. Curve lessened very slight on May 8th. Picked up June 18th, went near exponential June 24. https://corona.help/country/united-states Compare to a country that strictly adhered to...

Better safe than sorry approach? Simple comparison between the US to a very well documented other country that has undertaken extreme precautions. Thailand close to fully shutting back down when 1 asymptomatic person tested positive, which turned into 3 a day later and 7 four days later. Sum...

Excuse me. Confused. Since people can be asymptomatic, presymptomatic or paucisymptomatic and still be contagious, test->positive->isolation->1 less vector in the wild. Where's the flaw here? I can see the logic with say, dengue, > 'Yups. you have dengue. Want to feel like death warmed over here...

During a pandemic the only reason that I can think of to not get tested is if you are an alien life form. Even a hermit troglodyte has a chance of exposure on the way to getting tested. Check the hundreds of thousands of stupid moves videos on youtube. Qtip to the brain is small change. Now 40...

My apologies extended if I'm the culprit mentioned. Please consider excusing me if I ask that this be better defined: "unless it specifically pertains to COVID-19 and treatments." Does this specifically pertain to treatment and not general info on the larger stage relevant to C-19? That is...

@Summit That summed it up admirably. And here we go. The major debate is on: https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-administration-rips-hospital-data-from-public-view-cdc-website-2020-7 And...

We had a similar situation to the C-19 response in the US. The ministry of tourism and the local provincial governments downplayed, sandbagged, the disease prevalence. Tourism=big $$$$. Then along came a woman with degrees in pathology and forensics. Pure cut to the chase and hold nothing back...

Very wary. But fortunately there are CDCs the world over to compare to and on the whole the US is toeing the line. Actually a bit more lax and tolerant than many other countries. Fauci's equivalent in some countries has got the local politicians hiding in closets and under rocks.

@Akulahawk Informative. I can't comment further on HHS as I'm strongly prejudiced. It was under the auspices of HHS that women on reservations were informed tubal ligation was reversible. This went on for several years.

On the other hand, HHS is a cabinet level executive branch of the government with numerous political appointees and ultimately answers to the president. Pardon the analogy. America is at war, with Covid-19. The war has become politicized. Turned into a media 3 ring circus, and somebody who...

Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed on Tuesday. First rule when invading another country. Seize the lines...

Wish I could post this picture. An associate's friend in Wuhan who was born and raised in New York. Fully covered in PPEs Arms folded over his chest, Almost up to his knees in flood water. Captioned, 'Going to work. Isn't this just dandy. Imagine the Hudson rising 15 feet overnight.'

That is a WTF moment of near biblical proportions. Along the lines of too improbable for a plot in a cheap Hollywood B movie. How did homo erectus manage to get this far in evolution without being outclassed by wombats and penguins? BTW, just a voice in the wilderness, a small objective point...
