Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (22 Viewers)

[Buck Fuddy]

Apparently he has quite mild symptoms thus far.

This is the scary and confusing thing about the virus, to me, how it seems to affect some people really badly, regardless of age (there have been healthy people, even sportsmen who have had their asses kicked by this), and then there are others who it appears as like a sniffle or sort throat to. This include people over 60 or 70.

Either there are two (or more) forms of the virus, or there is something in the way the immune system reacts to the virus that differs between people. Could it be linked to autoimmune diseases that in some case people don't even know they have?

Isn't that always the case? The same disease/virus leading to different consequences for different people, I mean.

Yeah, I have a diabetes too and mild hypertension, yet I'm still working full eight hour shift every day. My employer doesn't plan to close anytime soon or at least to reduce number of workers, we are acting like nothing is happening. Only difference is we have masks (but not enough) and disinfects aaaand this is important we have few printed pictures and warnings how to behave during COVID-19 outbreak.

Luckily here is not pandemic state, but TBH I think that's mostly because it's almost impossible to get tested we do like 100 tests a day tops...

I upped my food intake and bought some supplements to try to minimize danger, but I'm thinking to either quit my job or ask for a sick leave...

Hey brothers. I too have diabetes. Among other underlying issues. I get scared too. The only good thing about all of this is that I work from home, so aside from going out to get food and supplies, I'm not as exposed to the elements as some others. But the part that really frightens me is that my wife is now working from home as of 2 weeks ago, and my 4 year old has been home for the past couple of weeks, and with me leaving the house several times a week, I'm not doing anyone any favors.


Common sense says that I SHOULDN'T be the one that goes out to do the shopping for things we need, and dropping my son off to his grandparents a few days a week, but I can't bear the thought of putting my wife at risk. If it has to be one of us that gets sick, or worse, then I would much rather it be me.

In the best of worlds neither you or your wife should get out. If you have a friend in good health consider asking him to do the groceries and then compensating him if needs be

Don't have false hopes next 3-4 weeks will devastate the US.

It's unprecedented that everyone in the world faces the same problem of that scale and at the same time that the world is that interconnected virtually.

Within the borders, yeah. On a large scale hardly. Everyone grabs the respirators based on their power and without sympathy toward others.

more like more isolated and fear.

ouch.

Arseholes coming from England and spreading the virus around here.

The Government has updated its advice to say that all holidays and non-essential travel within the UK should now be off limits to slow the spread of coronavirus.

These rules are obviously only in place for the plebs.

 

[Siamak]

Government wise you're right but not in regards to people. A lot more people help each other out, except for stupid people

most of them spread the virus seems alot of people still not listening to what they have been told.

BTW, I love Siamak's avatar. Perhaps Juventus needs to start marketing this ASAP.

other than the terrible math at the end, it was quite a practical rant. in hungary, there was a shortage in antiseptic liquids, so one of the biggest companies of the country (mol: https://mol.hu/en/about-mol/who-we-are/who-we-are-2/ ) already transformed one of their lubricant factories to manufacture disinfectant liquids, and they already started to directly supply hungarian hospitals. it only took them 2 weeks to completely change the profile of that factory.

In a massive metro like NY that is to be expected, but it shouldn't rise exponentially if people are on lock down in the other ones like LA, Chicago, Houston etc.

LA is on lockdown already. Not sure about Houston and Chicago.

Look at the charts she posted. Aside from the under<30 age group that COVID-19 doesn’t seem to affect, the charts she posted show the exact opposite of what she tweeted.

Ok thanks prof ironic
