You're also probably going to be contagious before you even develop symptoms.

rear end cobra posted:Is there a lack of testing in NL? 10 times as many deaths with roughly the same amount of cases as Austria. I read last week that they were only testing people who had confirmed direct exposure, like healthcare workers and family members of patients. I doubt the situation has improved any since.

Can't determine if this is reliable or not, but my wife got a news alert that says a doctor in Italy says they're not putting anyone over 60 on respiratory equipment anymore. This is different than the UK thing a few days ago. https://www.jpost.com/International/Israeli-doctor-in-Italy-We-no-longer-help-those-over-60-621856

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:Really, with how screwy the reporting has been I don't really think any country's self-reported numbers can be trusted. Germany and South Korea's reported numbers are probably **mostly** trustworthy, UK, USA and Italy's numbers are clearly garbage, Russia's numbers are laughably fake, everyone else falls somewhere in between. The death toll counts will be a lot more accurate (except in places like Russia of course) but still not completely accurate. They probably never will be because many possibly related deaths weren't tested before the funeral/cremation so in future we'll have to rely on estimates. But I still think that the reported numbers are useful as a rough indication of how the virus is progressing in each country, as well as an indicator of the strain being put on the hospital systems. It's really important that we keep reminding people that things are continuing to get worse and with the death toll in most countries being relatively low so far (outside of Italy, China Spain and Iran, all of which would feel real distant to a lot of people) those infection numbers are pretty much the only statistic we can really shove in people's faces to remind them to keep taking this seriously. The first confirmed COVID-19 infection on US soil was detected on January 20. It took until March 2 before they passed 100 confirmed cases, then March 11 to pass 1000 cases, then March 19 to pass 10,000 cases, then March 21 for 20,000, then March 22 for 30,000. 50,000 is going to be real soon and we'll be seeing some really big numbers soon after that. Those numbers are going to be pretty scary but they're still only the infections we've tested for, the actual numbers have been ?????% higher all along. The first US death attributed to COVID-19 was Feb 29, the tenth was on March 4, the 100th was March 17, the 200th was March 19, looks like the 500th was March 23. Those numbers have also been rising exponentially which is real bad news for everyone.

Shaocaholica posted:Would a blood transfusion with a just recovered person make you immune? Imagine how much the rich would pay for that. Experiments are being made on transfusion of plasma from people that succedeed in recovering from Covid-19, in China and also here in Italy. Medics seem to be cautiosly optimistic. Beachcomber posted:Can't determine if this is reliable or not, but my wife got a news alert that says a doctor in Italy says they're not putting anyone over 60 on respiratory equipment anymore. This is different than the UK thing a few days ago. It's not THAT bad, but triage had to be quite harsh in certain zones because of the limitation in the number of avaliable ventilators.

I do believe UK, USA and Italy's number are honest and they give us what they have. But for sure, because of the lack of testing, who knows the real number. Canada is giving what we have on the field, today, in Quebec we had the biggest jump of +409. Since yesterday the news was reporting that in some regions things were going sideway and fast. It just that the government update "only" once a day. In The next few days the number might be even larger because they installed a huge testing clinic in the middle of the biggest metropolitan area.

I wish I didn't like food enough where I'll just not want to eat at times. Then again, that would mean not being as sexy thicc as I am, so maybe not. Same. My eating habits got real bad again (I lost 60lb this past year). Terrified of re-gaining. I’ve been going out running still but I’m not sure I’ll be able to if we get a stay home order in my country.

Remember its all in your head after like a couple days--- any physical after that is absolutely tolerable. I smoked for 30 years, quit cold turkey in October. The only thing I noticed was I was constipated for like 3 months (lol) And the cravings were super bad with one activity (art in my case) You can do this

Definitely didn’t have any runny nose. It was weird, though, when I was sick my allergies didn’t bother me at all, and when I got better they came back HARD. So many sneezing fits yesterday.
