200 cases confirmed in Brazil. This number was like 120 this morning.

This explanation is missing one piece of info concerning what animals they eat and it is plain wrong about who eats wildlife animals.
They didn’t include eating pets like dogs and cats. And they’re wrong about only the rich and powerful eating them. The rich and powerful also tend to be educated and would avoid diseased animals.
No, it’s the poor that eat this shit and they do it for religious reasons, not just as tonics. It’s not a modern invention. It’s been around for a long time and was probably accelerated because of poor communist farming policy.

Who fucking cares if someone wants to go to Red Robin and eat.
How is that any fucking different then people packing out grocery stores due to panic.
In fact the chick eating at red robin is probably at less risk because there's not as many people around.
"Don't go to a restaurant, there's 30 PEOPLE THERE AND YOU MIGHT GET EXPOSED, NO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE INSTEAD THAT'S PACKED WITH HUNDREDS IN A TIGHT AREA, FUCKING MILLENNIALS RUINING EVERYTHING AGAIN ADSADASDAJADHASJDA"
what a crock of shit.

I missed half the press conference but we jumped to 56 cases overnight, not sure where the new cases are as I missed it. Schools and daycares are closed now too.
Sounds like first cases of community spread.

I suspect the long infection rate probably plays a factor. People likely got infected before the lockdown but were asymptomatic. the results of the lockdown might not play out for a while in terms of a reduction at this stage.

Yes, well said. Other than the part that's incorrect.
If you survive, you're not a carrier. Yes, there maybe a time frame where after recovery you're still contagious, but that's a short lived time frame (days to a week).

I gotta say, very encouraging White House press conference day. I woke up feeling pretty worried this morning, but it definitely instilled some hope that things aren't going to really fall apart.

So Sudafed blends will still be the best cocktail for light symptoms. Good to know.
Zefah are you talking about the White House press conference? I have to say that it's the only thing that's keeping me optimistic and hopeful. I've been a wreck this week on the thought of my parents contracting it

I see the new numbers but cant see update on schools.
Just got an email from school about update for parents but no closure.

Not sure if it was deliberate from China, but back of a fag packet maths would say that if the entire planet was infected, and based on the average 20% hospitalisation rate, we’d be looking at 210 million people in hospital.
The death rates are horrific, but the damage to society with so many incapacitated is worse. That’s not even taking into account the other 80% that would be too ill to work.
Even 5% unable to work would severely damage everyday society.

Press conference just ended. go to CTV Global or CBC Calgary sites and they all have it as breaking news on their front page.

Yeah, the White House press conference. Sorry, forgot there are probably tons of press conferences happening every day around the world about this thing.

It is Sunday in the little kids in the next door apartment are loud as hell. I'm like glad school is tomorrow but then just saw my State just closed all schools. With 26 total cases. Yay long noisy week ahead.

It sounds like NSAIDs are the ones that can worse COVID-19. She could use the components of those Sudafed blends (dextromethorphan/Robitussen, guaifenesin/Mucinex) but not acetominophen.
I know there are some medicines similar to aspirin that have a reduced anti-inflammatory response, but I'm not a doctor or pharmacist. You should ask your doctor what else to use for fever reduction and muscle pain.

I'm still debating where the bottom is. I think the market will be mostly recovered in 6 months, but TVIX futures are up.
Hmm. . .

A day or week is more than enough time to infect a loved one.
It might not seem much in numbers and percentages, but we are talking about somebody's friend or family.

There was more, but here were the highlights for me:
- Announcement that the feds changed the interest rate to 0.00 ~ 0.25%.
- Announced greatly expanded testing started next week with medical workers and elderly being given priority.
- Told the toilet papers to calm the fuck down and announced renewed commitment from grocer CEOs to remain open and stocked, so there's no need to buy more than a week's worth of supplies.

Welp, hell continues. Another day at work, another shitshow. Still huge crowds, shelves still empty
at my job. Talked to the owner at work today when my shift was over and overheard him talking to the pharmacist
about deliveries of meds and other items, saying there might be a delay and him complaining about people panic
buying the shelves bare. Not to mention schools now closed in my area until April. New York state area.
Trying to take care of myself since I'm in contact with just about everyone that enters the store.

228. These last few cases aren't accounted for in official numbers yet for some reason.

That was a Korean news channel and they all look like K-pop idols. I only said China because the report shows they are taking less of a hit on this.

It doesn't matter, banks are holding off on passing those low rates to consumers. I've tried to get my land loan refinanced and nowhere will do it.
Better yet, she won't have bat breath.

Yeah, you have celebrex which is a selective NSAID, but an NSAID nonetheless. But basically you either have Tylenol or NSAIDs for fever reduction. No other alternatives.

Hope you have spare gloves and masks. Keep washing your hands with soap whenever possible, and don't touch your face in any circumstance.

stay optimistic because US numbers are going to continue to go up. Now I don't think things will fall apart because it does sound like the team Trump put together has a plan for this. Dr Facui said its going to get worse rather than get better so you can tell they are putting on a brave face but are expecting a lot more to come.
But numbers are going to increase because there will be more test, thats just the nature of things. But more positive tests also mean more negative tests. But once you guys get close to Italy numbers oh boy the panic is going to start hitting the roof.

I've got to agree. I love that Trump told people to calm down. Everybody has stepped up even President Trump, but Pence has really really fucking stepped up. He is informative, calming, and concerned. I laughed when he was put in charge, but now I am really proud he is the Vice President and in charge of this pandemic.
No doubt, the numbers are going to increased with increased throughput, but I think we have to be looking at the death rate because that is the most important number.
