Bloody coronavirus the numbers just keep raising and this is the worst time for this.

Spring is when my allergies start to act up. And with the ADHD, I'm climbing the walls.

Well, climbing the walls in isolation will ensure that you still have your life later.

This was an interesting read.

Running and interpreting lateral flow immunoassays takes very little training, and the results are generally available within 20 minutes or so. Compared to the hours needed for a qPCR assay, not to mention the certified labs and the time needed to ship samples to them, the benefits of a point-of-care immunoassay are obvious.

Currently, there are at least nine lateral flow immunoassays for various SARS-CoV-2 proteins being developed. Some of them are shipping, some are in validation, and some are seeking approval from regulators. But all of them are based on the amazing complexity and adaptability of the immune system, the system that’s tasked with keeping humans alive in a world where challenges come is the smallest and most insidious packages imaginable.

Coronavirus Testing Follow-Up: Rapid Immunologic Testing

When I started writing my recent article on COVID-19 testing, I assumed that I would be doing a compare and contrast sort of article. Like many people, I assumed that the “gold standard&#8221…

Alaska now has 119 confirmed cases from 114 on Monday.

Two are from the Anchorage area, two from Fairbanks, and one from Palmer; one is male, and four are female according to Zink.

Two are considered close contacts, and the other three are still under investigation to determine if their cases are travel-related or community spread.

In a release Monday evening, DHSS said that all of the new cases are adults between the ages of 30 to 59.

A total of 3,713 Alaskans have been tested since March 2.

5 new COVID-19 cases announced; Gov. Dunleavy, Congressional Delegation discuss state and federal response to COVID-19

Five new cases of COVID-19 were reported by DHSS Monday, bringing Alaska's case count total to at least 119.

Perspective is needed. As of the moment of this post, in approximate numbers;
7,800,000,000 Earth population
786,000 Currently infected
166,000 Recovered
38,000 Current death toll

I think everyone who is feeling tense needs to take a deep breath and think through the reality of this situation.

What do you guys think about calls to shut down jails where there has been an inmate who test positive for COVID-19 ?

Some jails already started doing early releases for sentences.

On Monday, for instance, after weeks of cooperating with city officials, the city’s five district attorneys attacked the “seemingly haphazard process” by which people, including some accused of violent crimes, were being released.

Bad idea. They're the most likely to start problems in society with little to no public response. Those little things could be the trigger for a riot.

You can't keep them detained for their own safety and you can't let them go for society's safety. It's a lose-lose situation.

While interesting, that topic of discussion belongs in the other thread. Please take it there;

Portugal's numbers have been updated:

- 7443 confirmed infected
- 160 fatalities
- 43 recovered - STILL????? No change, since 5 days ago
- dunno number of those waiting for test results

Some other info today:

- 627 hospitalized
- 188 in ICU

Biggest jump in confirmed cases: an increase of over 1K since yesterday

I believe this is a consequence of a high number of people waiting for test results, though i can't say for certain since this number hasn't been posted in the last two days but, judging from the 5508 waiting from 2 days ago, i'd say is quite substantial

I'm betting we'll start seeing a large jump in reported cases now that the tests are getting to be a bit more wide-spread. Personally, I think, this is actually a positive thing, as I believe that people who really didn't feel bad enough to get hospitalized are more likely to go ahead and get tested now that the tests are easier to get. I'm hoping that means that we'll be seeing more postiives, but they're the type of positives that aren't suffering from serious effects, and this result will mean they'll need to get off the street, whereas before they might have just said "Nah, I'm probably fine, I need to go to the store/work/Mom's anyway"....

Veel patiënten op IC met overgewicht, 'maar ga nu niet te streng diëten'

Ruim 80 procent van de patiënten die op de IC liggen, zijn mensen met overgewicht. Zij hebben meer kans op complicaties. Artsen begrijpen de zorgen van mensen met obesitas, maar waarschuwen voor de gevolgen van een crash-dieet.

nos.nl

80% of the coronavirus patients hospitalized in the ICU in the netherlands are obese. Overall population obesity rate in NL is ~14% (cbs.nl).

80 percent of the corona patients who are in the ICU are overweight. Diederik Gommers, chairman of the Association for Intensive Care, came on Friday in the television program Jinek with these figures. According to Gommers, being overweight can be the result of, for example, diabetes or high blood pressure. Overweight people also have a heavier chest which makes it more difficult for them to breathe

Coronavirus: new figures on intensive care deaths revealed

Findings of new report raise concerns about how effective new facilities will be

www.theguardian.com

Similarly in UK, obesity is a risk factor for COVID19. Overall UK population obesity rate is 28% (UK Health Survey)

The audit suggested that men are at much higher risk from the virus – seven in ten of all ICU patients were male, while 30% of men in critical care were under 60, compared to just 15% of women. Excess weight also appears to be a significant risk factor; over 70% of patients were overweight, obese or clinically obese on the body mass index scale.

The Flu is like 10% when you measure the same as with the corona virus.

In the flu, they measure the number of people they estimate, in the case of the U.S., that's 34,000,000 according to the CDC. With the corona virus, they measure the number of confirmed cases. For the confirmed cases of the flu in the U.S., that's ~ 220,000 and ~ 22,000 deaths, so that's 10%.

 

[Devon68]

Looking at the numbers I still fell like this is just the beginning. I'm no expert but I guess the number of infected will be around 1.8 million and the number of dead will be around 120.000 before this ties down. Most people dont take it seriously enough and break self-isolation and just walk around like it's not a pandemic.

Yes, yesterday. It is not as common as other symptoms, so take it in conjuction with other symptoms.

So for the flu, they park several refrigerated trucks outside the hospital to store bodies in because the morgue filled up?

 

[rtwjunkie]

I'm going to think positively, and that it is a side effect of 5,000 tests coming back.

The other thing is see is the spread. Although the New Orleans metropolitan area has about 3,300 of the cases, it's slowly dropping to the halfway point as more cases are found elsewhere in the state.

TLDR: isolation in New Orleans area may be starting to work as the number of new cases are becoming less, while increasing elsewhere. New Orleans was the first place in the state to enact strict isolation measures.

That feels like a large percentage to me. It looks like yesterday you tested almost 7k people and jumped up 500 cases. Today was 5k tested and 1,200. Meaningless nugget by itself... but let's hope it doesn't trend up.

Sounds like social distancing starting to do its thing in higher pop density locations (RE: spread)..
