Yes but in Italy she would have been kicked to the curb to die. So it still counts as a death right?

Real questoin...how does a submicroscopic virus get blocked by a bandana?

It won'tget blocked if it is floating on its own. But a bandana can catch a virus that is in a fluid droplet (cough or sneeze).

You notice how when you breath on a mirror up close it fogs up? Those are the air droplets that carry the virus. The bandana knocks those droplets down (no fog or reduced fog when you breath up close with the bandana).

Got that. Understood.

The bandana or facemask protects others. Not yourself. True?

It and most masks do more to protect others than they protect the wearer, but give some protection to the wearer as well.

The problem is that this virus has been hyped into a mega killer super virus deadlier than any virus we have seen in years. And there is no evidence of that as of yet in a developed country like the US.

---

So South Korea that did immeasurably better than the United States is not a developed country now?

Isn't their latest fatality rate close to 1% and rising?

Oh, and Italy is a 3rd world country. Got it.

---

Yes Italy is a third world country with an aging population with high risks with a mediocre heath care system. I can not remember the last medical break thru that was from Italy.

Korea I believe has had more deaths than the US, correct? What criteria are you basing your assumptions on?

---

Korea has had less than half the deaths as the US. They're at 91, and we're at 209, including 59 today. In 4-5 days, we will most likely have more daily deaths than Korea has had total from this thing.

---

Korea has 61 million and we have what 300 million. I will bet our percentage of deaths vs population will be almost identical or we will have a lower percentage.

---

Bump back to a simpler time. US now has 23,700 deaths vs SK's 222. What a prediction.

The fatty coating protecting the virus that causes COVID-19 lends it an uncanny ability to adhere to surfaces and survive there for days before infecting a host, researchers warn.

Seven crew members on the U.S. Navy hospital ship docked in Los Angeles have tested positive for the coronavirus, the Navy said.

The medical treatment facility crew members from the USNS Mercy who contracted the virus have been put in isolation off the ship, the Navy said in a statement.

People they are believed to have been in close contact with are also quarantined off the ship, the statement said. All but one of those people have tested negative for the virus, with the exception being the Mercy's fifth COVID-19 case.

Looks like USA is about to have a third consecutive day of drops in new covid deaths. Numbers of New cases are showing significant drops too.

---

Welp... Looks like death took a 3 day weekend, because we're about to set a new high mark in single day deaths.

Best to look at a 3 or 7 day moving average. Weekends always have a lull, Easter probably more so. We're in the decline of this curve, and that's good.

Back to work everybody. Open her up.

We need to do whatever China did. USA has 600K cases (25K dead), and they only had 80K (3K deaths). Amazing!

We are falsifying as well. Don't worry.

What's their definition of large?

Also, that leads in nicely with the largest Oktoberfest ever.

I just made a note of this on another thread. If they extend it, all hell could break loose. As for their definition of large, cant find a count on that yet. I'd imagine >25.

This statement came out a few minutes later. Germany is going to start the EU back up it seems

I am not sure if either google translate or my own instincts are correct.
I'm not in the medical field.
Because the edit to the post is my issue:
1) Current translation implies (natrual) chemical luminescence of some sort without reaction
2) Implies some sort of chemical reaction to bind to the antibody?

I thought you worked as an EMT in China last summer, your immediate family works in ID, and your extended family is in healthcare? You received a lot of unique and quite specific data, assessments, and opinions...

---

Dude....

---

I am a US state (Texas) EMT.
My close family relative works in ID.
My family relative(s) and friends work in CCDC, CFDA.
I have a relative who works as a M.D in Pneumology in Wuhan.
I don't understand medical documents in Chinese very well. Many of these are specialty transliteration phrases that do not translate well if at all without a special dictionary.


By "Not in medical field" I mean not a doctor, sorry. I should have worded it better.

You have been quiet for a while - anything new to report? Did you head back home after classes were canceled? How are you doing?

Wasn't he asking Trump for 40,000 ventilators back in the day?

Trump was blasted for this March 27th..."Tonight on Sean Hannity's show, President Trump said that people are exaggerating the number of ventilators needed in this crisis. "I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators," said the president."

"The United States currently has between 160,000 and 200,000 ventilators, but could need up to a million machines over the course of the outbreak, according to the Society of Critical Care Medicine. In New York, the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S., hospitals are already on the verge of running out, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said this week."

You just have to laugh to keep from crying at **** ***** like Cuomo. His grandiose prognostications are biting him in his arrogant ***.

New York is just dysfunctional all the way around. But with a pandemic, they are the most dysfunctional because of two things: Dem control and density of population requiring mass transit in the billions of rides per year. No one else even comes close to those numbers of rides.

Exactly, and now the real death rate is something like .1-1 percent (per my link above). So, basically lower than the flu, which essentially kills the elderly/immunocompromised only in 1st world healthcare systems.

Maybe the Chinese were just, gasp, overly-cautious because they didn't know what the heck was going on?

---

My opinion, and yeah we all have a smelly one, but this escaped a lab. Not saying it was man made, but it escaped a lab none the less with some really bad stuff. Once they found out there was this breach they had to fear for the worst. Weld people indoors, etc. Once they figured that out they realized they dodged a bullet. That said the social hysteria was out there and not going back in the cage.

But I agree I think there are a million plus more cases than reported. I think this is nothing more than a bad case of the flu at the end of the day. Which with any flu mutation hits a little harder at first.

---

I'm gonna bring this back to the top.

Also, 1 out of 100 people in NY have tested positive for the coronavirus.

By counting deaths that happened outside of the hospitals...?
