Getting dissed by a Leftwing/commie/pinko! What an honor!
Some discouraging data out of Asia today.
Several countries, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and another one that I forget, that had initially locked down their countries early and had strong success in flattening the curve, to where the were experiencing almost zero new cases, have all started to experience a dramatic rise in cases almost immediately upon relaxing some of those restrictions. This indicates this virus isn't going away anytime soon. All these shutdowns do is slow the inevitable spread, maybe buy a little time so everyone doesn't get it at once and the hospital systems overrun. I don't think this ends any time soon until a vaccine is available. We may be able to ease some things as we get numbers under control, maybe get some people back to work with protective gear and separation, but any sense of back to Normal, and any kind of large gatherings including sports, concerts, I dare say casinos, seems unlikely. They may try it, but indications are it wont go well.
Second disappointing even scary piece of data is that in South Korea, a significant number of people that had the virus, recovered and were cleared, have now contracted the virus a second time. If this is not some sort of abnormality, this may dash hopes about immunity after having had the virus that some of us were hoping for. Such an immunity, even for a short time, would have helped in opening things back up. The one piece of good news from this is that it seems possible a second infection may result in milder symptoms for the patient. But they would still be capable of transmitting to others. Very bad.
On a personal note, I decided to contact my doctor this morning, just to be sure there wasn't anything specific I should be doing to aid my recovery based on my health situation. I was not surprised when my doctor insisted that I be tested immediately, which 45 minutes later, confirmed what I have already known for days that I currently have the virus and am sure my brother did before me. He is doing well, for all intensive purposes, recovered, although I think the criteria is 3 days without any symptoms and this is day 2. I am also doing pretty well, but still have a lingering fever and very slight chest pressure (less than last week) and fatigue.
It was my hope that by weeks end, we both would be back to normal and ready to go when restrictions were lifted, but based on the disappointing info I mentioned earlier, I personally am not optimistic that things get back to normal any time soon, unless we as a country are willing say fuck it, we will accept a fairly high number of deaths.
Did you do the nasal swab? And how bad did it hurt? Good to see you now added to the statistics of another young person who had it and will recover.
Sucks you had to go through it but it should make you feel better going out when stuff opens. It’s almost like being bulletproof with piece of mind.
It was a swab but not nasal, not up my nose. It was a long q-tip-stick to the back of my throat. Then I just had to wait in a little isolated area for results. it took 45 minutes, maybe an hour.
Yeah, but it seems like that "bulletproof" thing may not be.
So by the way, my doctor advises to eat healthy to strengthen immune system, lots of fruits and Veggies, which I do anyway (among my twinkies and ice cream lol). He said specifically load up on Vit C and D and get Vit D from the sun if I am able to do so without going near other people.
In Montana the Governor's shelter at home order will expire this Friday, April 24th. We're one of the luckier regions in the country. Along with the shelter at home order the Governor also ordered that anyone entering the state must do a 14 day quarantine. Nice. Our first coronavirus case was found on Mar 13. It's 37 days later and we have had 433 cases with 11,000 tested. That's an average of 12 new cases per day and there has been very little fluctuation. It's been pretty steady, and even dropping. The last week the average has been just 6 new cases per day. There have been only 55 hospitalizations and only 18 hospitalizations are currently active. There have been just 10 deaths. So Governor Bullock may very well go for phase 1 this Friday. We'll see.

The Chi-Comm's are reporting there are no more active hospitalizations for Coronavirus in Wuhan Province. Hey, Redietz. What did they do? Find a cure? No more active cases in Wuhan. How does that fit in with your projections, Mr. Dietz? Where's the 2nd wave and the 3rd wave and the....never mind.

As they say, you can't cure stupid.

Ohio doesn’t report recovered cases at all. They say there’s no guidelines, definition, requirement to do so so they don’t. Are other states doing that? How does THAT skew the numbers for the Kewlj method of calculations?, Currently at 18% death rate.

Another story from a travel points site I use. The founder decided to do the Quest test and it was found he had CV in the past and never knew it.
These are the stories the media (And Red)does NOT want out there. It’s a fact far many more people had it than the official numbers, but that doesn’t help the death toll. While most don’t have an extra $119 to spend, it would be a game changer if the true numbers were known.
Add in the fact that it’s still those who are in the High Risk groups dying, the facts don’t help the liberals cause.
Of course we are now going to hear these tests don’t mean anything and you could still get it again.
Someday there’s going to be a documentary on the massive amount of healthcare fraud going on in during this pandemic in hospitals during this to label anything they can COVID for the funding. Very large federal reimbursements for COVID care/deaths, feds more reliable to pay than normal patrons, and their revenue is otherwise currently way down due to elective surgeries cancelled and people fearful to go to hospitals.
Coronavirus is petering out in Montana.
New cases from March 13 thru March 31 = 204. Avg. = 11.33 new cases per day
New cases from April 1 thru April 7 = 115. Average new cases per day = 16.4
New cases from April 8 thru April 14 = 80. Average new cases per day = 11.4
New cases from April 15 thru April 21 = 39. Average new cases per day = 5.6
New cases from April 22 thru April 30 = 15 Average new cases per day = 1.87
For the last few days we averaged just 1 case per day. And today we had our first day with no new cases reported.
We've had a total of 453 cases.
61 hospitalizations.
16 deaths
397 have recovered.
56 active cases
5 active hospitalizations
14,203 tested. That's 1.56% of the population.
3.2% tested positive. However, for the past week only about 0.5% have tested positive (1 in 200)
16 deaths of 453 cases is 3.53%
16 deaths from a population of 909,000 is a death rate of 0.0000176
We peaked in the first week of April. It's been downhill since then. Business' started opening back up on April 24. We still have a couple of phases to go before fully opened.
