Well, this looks like a bad result:

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson admitted to hospital over virus symptoms

The prime minister is undergoing "routine tests", 10 days after he was diagnosed with coronavirus.

www.bbc.co.uk

I've read of people doing okay, then going randomly downhill. Not his fan but genuinely, wouldn't want to lose our PM through this.

More like his health is deteriorating and is being moved to a hospital where there will be immediate response, should his condition worsen still.

I don't wish him nor ANYBODY death because of this virus but i figure if he "gets a good look from the front row seat" @ how hospital's are coping with this, the UK people will be better off due to the decisions he makes later, once he's better, regarding COVID-19 fighting.

Unfortunately, there are still a few states that STILL haven't declared state-wide "shelter-in-place" orders: North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Arkansas. States that have the order in only PARTS of the state are Wyoming, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah.

I was reading about him on a Huffington Post article. Supposedly, he's only being put in hospital "for tests" but he's had symptoms for 11 days now. Says he "feels better" but still has a fever. His fiancee was mentioned in the article, too. She also reported having symptoms for a week, but is "on the mend" now. She wasn't tested. She's also pregnant

I still don't feel a total lockdown was the way to go. Here in Florida, we have less cases than some who implemented a lockdown weeks before us and less deaths than others who have more cases. Not to mention we have half the country's retirees here.

Do lockdowns work? Absolutely. Are the best decision? Unknown. At this point it is all we have because apparently we never disaster planned for a pandemic even though it had been the what if talk of the last decade.

I live in Iowa and have access to the daily governor update from South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska. All three states do recommend people that don't have to go out to not go out. It's not an order because even if an order was given, officers are likely to be ineffectual at enforcing it. These are mostly rural states. Counties with cases are buttoning up. Travel is not advised.

Edit: Fauci said what those states are doing is fine. It's not spreading very fast.

There are indications that if the high fever persists beyond 7 days (he has had a fever for 9 or 10 days) then the likelihood of pneumonia is increased 2 or 3 fold so he has gone in for respiratory tests however, allegedly he has not reported a shortness of breath, if he is not out by tomorrow night I would guess it is worse than his office is saying.

Moved a couple of posts to the Covid-19 lounge thread. None were LQ, or poor, just not maps and stats related.

That makes sense.

Portugal's numbers have been updated:



- 11730 confirmed infected --- 452 more
- 140 recovered --- 65 more
- 311 fatalities --- 16 more
- 91794 suspected cases --- 5424 more
- 4500 waiting for test results --- 462 LESS
- 23470 under watch from authorities --- 612 more
- 1099 hospitalized --- 15 more
- 270 in ICU --- 3 more

Forgot to mention yesterday: a Chinese business woman donated 4.5M Euros worth of ventilators and hospital monitor equipment. It's not the 1st time this particular business woman donates / invests to / in Portugal, having done so in the past, long before COVID-19 --- BIG THANK YOU

Part of this donation should arrive today, with the rest to follow soon.

Portugal, between the above mentioned donation, and the purchase it did of ventilators, will more than double the current number of ventilators in the country: from the "original" 1142 to over 2600: the ventilators are supposed to be delivered throughout April and May.

Looks like you can track the outbreaks in the UK by burning 5G cell towers now...

UK carriers would appreciate you not setting cell towers on fire

The arson attacks against 5G masts in the UK have become serious enough that carriers are joining together to put a stop to the incidents. EE, O2, Three and Vodafone have issued a joint statement both urging people not to set fire to cellular masts, threaten engineers or spread conspiracy...

rtwjunkie is on the money here. The only reason to recommend this is for lack of real solutions. It has nothing to do with good governance...

Did I ever say it did?

I believe my claim was "better than nothing."

Ah yes, it's not a virus, but 5G... that makes perfect sense!

Are those stats slowing, as in day on day?

There seems to be a slowing overall in hospitalization, deaths and ventilators. There are outliers, but in general, I think so. I read someplace this morning (I apologize for not having the link) that some think that New Orleans area COULD peak by early next week.

EDIT:
I found a link about peaking next week here. It was Dr. Birx:

Birx warns mortality will peak in NY, New Orleans and Detroit next week

Trump, during a White House briefing, said that 1,000 military personnel would be deployed to New York City and that he would seek more aid for small businesses if relief funds ran out.

Dr. Deborah Birx warns hotspots will see a spike in coronavirus deaths over next 6-7 days

“They are predicting in those three hotspots, all of them hitting together in the next six to seven days," Dr. Deborah Birx said.

We do the lock down, and then we have this - https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/06/asia/china-coronavirus-tourist-warning-intl-hnk/index.html
Are they kidding?

This is a sad statistics if it is true - https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/04/us/domestic-violence-coronavirus-calls-cases-increase-invs/index.html

Also, I don't think we talk enough about the mental state of people under lock down, especially those with mental illness. I also saw a few instances similar to this - https://nypost.com/2020/04/03/man-kills-self-after-being-pushed-over-edge-by-coronavirus-loneliness/

For me, I find myself being slightly edgy for being stuck at home all the time. No tennis, no dining out. One can only watch so many YouTube videos How about you guys?

There have been a number of violence due to Covid19. I remember reading one where a man tried to set his wife on fire. Another killed people for being too loud.

Also more and more homeless are embolden due to the hands off approach due to COVID19. Stores employee are letting them take items at will rather then to risk confrontation or infection.

 

[flmatter]

Alaska 191 cases and 6 deaths
Wyoming and North Dakota are close to us in cases 200 and 207

7,800,000,000 World Population

The numbers are beginning to show that things might tapering off.

There have been several domestic murders and on the rise incidents of familicide and domestic abuse where I live, I've read several stories of them in the past week though I can't compare to before the outbreak if they are more or less, just that there has only been one murder in my locality in the last year or so before this that kind of shook the community as it's such a small town and things like this don't really happen that often

Mexico posted its biggest single-day jump in coronavirus cases on Monday as the deputy health minister said the country needed to recruit more medical personnel to confront a worsening outbreak.

Instead of separating China, now they show the number of cases for each region.

Europe has the most cases but it appears to have been flattened.

I believe Florida isn't projected to peak until the first week of May. That's a long ass time. I still wonder why our death rate is lower than other states. It seems that way anyway. We certainly don't have any shortage of elderly or compromised individuals.

I wonder if these will be calculated as coronavirus related deaths. As it is, no one really dies from coronavirus, its a complication that causes death.

It's not an order because even if an order was given, officers are likely to be ineffectual at enforcing it.

While that is true, actually enforcing it isn't always everything. Even just putting it in people's minds can have an effect... a leader putting out a mandate can have a significant effect on compliance, even if they technically couldn't exactly go after people. It worked here. For quite a while it's been a soft request with our governor. As soon as it became an order, people listened, this place became a ghost town, and has been since.

Two reasons, I think. Your average person is not actually that daring. They will go out, if they are convinced there won't be immediate ramifications They know they shouldn't, but don't care because to them it doesn't actually matter to anyone. So conversely, if they think there might be any chance of maybe getting pulled over (they wouldn't know how many people would be out for them to blend into, either,) they're not going to be as inclined to go anywhere... if they happen to wonder if maybe it'll be them, a few workers, and the occasional cop, they might hesitate. The other reason is that we are past the point where people can think this is not a long-haul situation. Now that there are questions of when normalcy can really be, and people have lived that uncertainty for several weeks, they're starting to become more receptive and compliant... just kinda realizing that this is something they may not have fully understood. That aside, they don't fully know what that means. What happens if they do go out without good reason now that it's official? They don't know. Probably nothing. But nobody wants to be the one to find out.

I suppose it depends on the area. We had problems particularly I think because we had so many people flock from other states to stay with family here... probably thinking they could get away from the virus and the stay home stuff and keep some normalcy. They weren't wrong. You could get away with it. They don't live or work here. They may have mistook the town's normal quiet and calm for something else. Compared to where they came from, things would've seemed surprisingly normal... enough that you might think the same things aren't happening, only at a different stage in the sequence. The changes come in waves, and they go with the flow. Might even have slowed down our tightening up, in a way. I'm sure many people did stay home, but many more chose not to, seeing everybody else out and about, maybe not realizing that the crowd had grown and shifted to look the same as before, even though a lot of your neighbors were already laid off and at home. You wouldn't know it if you went into town, because of that influx of people. Again, things seemed normal. Monkey see, monkey do. Or maybe broken window theory, in a certain sense.

It's just funny... everybody has to be aware of the number of cases in neighboring counties... and our side of the state in general. But they wait until the governor officially comes out and says you gotta stay put to be like "I guess this IS serious." And actually start staying home en masse.
