I agree.
It appears to me that, from what we can tell, those that do not require having to go to hospital have, relatively, minor symptoms, if any at all, and most people appear to fall into this category. That being the case, it appears to me that everyone should go about their normal business and those that are known to be susceptible to a more severe reaction can remain isolated and can make their own choice as to whether they wish to do so. |

I was reading this article the other day and it seemed to suggest that disease severity increased with BMI. God help the USA if the floodgates are opened too soon.

Re: Coronavirus
Several friends in the UK seem to have had it (couldn't be tested) and it wasn't fun. Friend's partner rang the NHS number as partner pretty ill. Got told to call 999. Rang and they said has he passed out yet? She said No. They said ring back if he does ...
So I wouldn't agree you're either not very ill or severely ill. I think you can feel pretty rough but not need hospitilization. |
Re: Coronavirus
I see that the BBC are reporting that clever people at Oxford say they will have a million doses of a vaccine by September l. Great if they can. Using my phone so can't provide a link.

Re: Coronavirus
I'm just so glad that my nan didn't die from the Coronavirus and it was only complications from gonorrhoea that killed her. She did like the young ones. :(

As a diabetic yourself and therefore more susceptible to a more severe reaction, is that what you and your family are doing? They can go about their normal business while you decide whether you want to isolate yourself from the increased potential of them bringing something back into your home?
If I was concerned about the effects to me, I would have to lock myself in a room.. I see it as being about personal tolerance to risk. My oldest daughter is still working at her part time job at Petsmart most days. |
Re: Coronavirus
From the WHO
Although the majority of cases remain mild, almost 40% result in hospitalization and 5% require intensive care. |
Re: Coronavirus
I went to Can Tire this morning to pick up a 20 pack of disposable masks for my co-worker (she's high risk and isn't supposed to go out) and ran into an old friend at the check-out. These days he is maintenance man in an 84 unit senior's complex. I asked how they were doing, and he said great! Two weeks before all this started, the elevator motor burned out in the building, and it took 2 weeks for Otis to come in, replace the motor and upgrade all the cables and test it, etc, during which time hardly anyone left or entered the building, so there was minimal opportunity for infection.

Will be interesting to see if individual towns take this approach:

Re: Coronavirus
People who still have jobs at the airport in Vancouver have been posting photos, man its a ghost town, almost looks abandoned. Just about everything is closed, and appears the airport has combined international and domestic into one terminal, US departures still depart from the segregated US departure terminal of course.
As the curve is petty flat in BC, if it stays on current trend looking at about another month before they relax restrictions based on comments made today. |
