Cuomo at his press conference says China and South Korea run 200k and 15k tests everyday respectively, while US has only done 5000 until today.

These footballers sharing uninformed stance. The number of people getting sick is difficult to contain and that number is rapidly increasing. While there should be no panic, we should be cautious for those at risk. Unsurprisingly Evra liked that post

Effects of prolonged bed rest


Effects on the lungs and blood
Bed rest increases the risk of pneumonia and atelectasis (collapse of lung tissue).

Fluid tends to build up in the lungs because the muscles aren’t working to remove excess fluid from the body. It’s harder for the lungs to expand when you’re lying flat, so blood pools in the chest area, leading to decreased lung volume. Coughing is not as effective due to weakened abdominal and chest muscles, causing mucus to collect in the lungs.

Breathing also becomes shallower, which leads to poorer oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange in the lungs.

-----------------------

Even when sick, do some exercise, bois.

This is irresponsible, at best, and quite frankly, downright dangerous. I suppose this is what you get when every nincompoop out there with a twitter account feels they have the right to an opinion, even on matters they lack the information/education to grasp.
This being said, I feel blessed and relieved that our very amazing Commander In Chief has appointed someone as well-prepared and amazingly-equipped as Mike Pence to handle the caronavirus response team in the US.

Thats my usual strategy for the flu. Take pseudoephedrine and run laps

In his defense he already made his position clear that “As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods.
They kill us for their sport”

Apparently lots of home-testing being done here to keep people from coming into doctors’ offices and infecting others.
South korean were the first guys to turn on the brain and say: " what about if we go till their house and avoid them to contagiuos 2-3 persons in their way to the hospital"

Sadly they said it in Korean so noone else understood... lets expected now Canada is doing it others could follow the patch

in South Korea you can get tested from a drive thru and that shit is free
:tup:

Our healthcare is all free here aside from prescription meds. Although even those are far cheaper here than south of the border.

Maybe, for their own protection build some sort of camps...
In Canada those camps would be for the abodiginals :snoop:
