That's somewhat heartening as a mid 30's guy with a mom who is barely 60.

It seems like the fatality rate is equal to the flu gross fatality rate if you're under 50.

There is a video that someone posted on this thread that explained the process of how chloroquine works against viruses. It enables zinc to enter cells, which then blocks the coronavirus from replicating its RNA.

I'm very curious as to how the Jazz player will respond to corona. Will he be over it in a few days? How long will he test positive? Etc etc. What effect will being young and in excellent shape have on the virus

More information on all the treatments being studied and tested now.. this is from the tweet above on chloroquine... people in the trenches doing their work. Some good news starting to emerge on battling this virus

I read that data another way. Of the 7755 cases they've had, only 348, have reach a conclusion of being discharged or dying. Of those 348, 60 are dead. That's a kill rate of 17%. The rest of the 7407 cases are still going and could either recover or die. Am I wrong?

Anyone know if there are any long term detrimental affects off dosing with these 2 at the levels for 10 days?

Yeah, COVID-19 free, bad news, your wiener fell off

You die faster than you recover. The dates need to be offset.

You are right.
This is the "current" death rate as of today. And it will go up.

chloroquine gives you nightmares and makes you itch

it's dirt cheap and has been around for 80 years

I wouldn't be surprised if they start recommending chloroquine as a prophylactic

Didn't consider that but makes since. Death rate should drop as the recoveries catch up with the deaths.

It also depends on how South Korea is defining "recovered". Is it fairly easy so after a negative test you're considered recovered, or do you have to have multiple negative tests over a week or more?

Some thing that I noticed cruising around in the Johns Hopkins tracker is the length of time from diagnosis to recovery. Seems to be in excess of 10 days in most cases. I've been knocked out by the flu for maybe 1 or 2 days, but I dont think I've ever been out for 3 consecutive days in a row my entire life (for work or school).

---

Then I'm not sure you've had The Flu. I was fortunate enough to have it during Christmas break my 3rd year at A&M. Came home for Christmas. A couple of days later couldn't move. Super high fever. Waited a day, gathered enough strength to drive back to cs. Turns out my boyfriend and his roommates had it as well. We slept for the next 5 days. This would've been '93/'94. I haven't had it since and don't want to. I also don't get flu shots.

Good point. I dont think any of these events have actually had a confirmed flu diagnosis via uncomfortable nose swab etc. Probably just the cold. I think you're right, I just assumed that I had something I never had. Something that is likely to happen to a massive portion of the population in the coming days.

Instruction, however, is always the same. Wash your hands (to prevent getting it), cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough (to prevent spreading it), if you have a fever, keep it; unless it makes you uncomfortable or you are dangerously close to a 104+ fever that might increase to 106 unmitigated. THEN take over the counter measures to ensure you dont get to 106.

Your body at a 103F fever is a well-oiled 10,000+ year-old evolutionary machine (if you are in good health) trying to rid itself of infection. Taking ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. to lower your fever is just going to extend the length of the contagion because your body is doing its damnedest to counter the infection by itself and intervening is only going to impede and extend that effort.

If you have a fever; that's actually good. Your body is killing the infection. Let it work -- as long as you are comfortable...If you get a fever of 101 and take something to lower it for no good reason (oh man, I think im sick, so I should take medicine, so I can get to work faster) , you are actively working against your own body's immune system...and by covering up the symptoms, you are a lot more likely to spread the virus than people that let it run its course naturally.

I am one of those people that dread calling into work sick. I want to complete my work and dont want to be labeled a "faker", but I think the residual effect of this infection will be one of "if you even SUSPECT that you are sick, DO NOT COME IN TO A FACILITY". I used to feel guilty about taking more than a day or two off of work. I think the major affect of this illness is....it's not about you, if you are sick, dont come in and dont infect others...dont be a try-hard. You do not need to risk other peoples lives for your small contribution to your company.

And will he get his ass kicked out of the league for being a giant ******.

I didn't go to the dr for diagnosis, TBF. My best friends mom, whose an old sole, felt my forehead and said "yep, you've got the flu" and something about fluids. I was delirious with fever.

At least one bit of good news today, although they are wrong to call it a "common cold" which would be a rhino virus or coronavirus.

The Kung Flu is closer to the common cold than influenza is.

Don't worry. Twitter will be in full panic again tomorrow to balance it out.

Twitter is in full panic 24/7 so nothing will ever balance it out.

Heard that some of the Dallas Jesuit kids are suspected of having it. If that's the case, we're all gonna get it. Half the people in the office with kids that age are at Jesuit. Guess it's a good thing I cancelled that trip to California next month.

CBS News shutters office after two employees get coronavirus



NEW YORK - CBS News shut down its New York City headquarters for cleaning and disinfecting on Wednesday after two of its employees tested positive for coronavirus.

Employees will be asked to work remotely for the next two days and broadcasts moved to accommodate the cleaning, the network said. For instance, "CBS This Morning" will originate out of Washington on Thursday and Friday while the New York offices are cleaned.

People who came in contact with the sick employees will be asked to self-quarantine for the next two weeks, CBS News President Susan Zirinsky said in a memo to staff.

"At this point, we anticipate the offices will be open Monday," Zirinsky wrote.
CBS has two separate offices located across 57th Street on the West Side of Manhattan, one primarily housing the staff of "60 Minutes." Complicating the issue for the network is that the two infected workers were stationed in different buildings. The network released no details on how the staff members were infected.

Meanwhile, The Associated Press and NBC News on Wednesday announced work-at-home plans as concerns about the global pandemic grew.

The AP will allow employees who are able to work at home to do so with the approval of their managers, implementing the new policy on a staggered basis throughout the world through the end of next week. The Associated Press operates out of 250 locations in 100 countries.
First in line, effective immediately, are AP staffers in offices where employees have had direct or indirect exposure to someone who has tested positive, or where the government requires people to work at home. These locations include New York, Washington, Chicago, New Orleans, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, New Delhi, Singapore, Jakarta, Manila and Iran and Italy, said Gary Pruitt, the news service's president and CEO.

No AP employee has tested positive for the virus, Pruitt said.

AP is also stopping all non-essential travel, and told employees to avoid work dinners or conferences without approval.

"We must remain vigilant and careful over the coming weeks," Pruitt said.
Other news organizations, like The Washington Post, The New York Times and CNN, have encouraged or permitted employees to work remotely in recent days out of concern about the virus.

NBC News said it will allow employees in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to work at home or stagger hours if possible starting Monday. However, the network said this would not affect people who work directly putting together television shows on NBC and MSNBC.

The network is also limiting non-essential travel and asking its employees to limit large meetings and not bring visitors into the New York office, according to a memo sent Wednesday by NBC News President Noah Oppenheim and MSNBC President Phil Griffin.

People outside of the New York office are expected to come to work normally, the memo said.
