Old Man 11,246 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 There’s also cardiac damage in some patients, IIRC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlord 4,838 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I would also like to see a more detailed, in-depth explanation of why we need to remain on lockdown and they/it needs to be repeated daily on all news programs. This should also be posted like school closings or weather alerts during all federal, state and local Coronavirus press conferences. The thing I hear MOST OFTEN is that this is basically just like the flu...why the bleep are we destroying the economy for THE FLU?!?! Many people just do not get that this requires a deeper dive, a next level of thinking that delves into levels of contagiousness ie. simply breathing near someone, leading to overwhelming medical facilities, which then leads to a possibly 20% mortality rate instead of a more flu-like 2% or less.

death tribble 4,121 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 One of mother's tenants had to be taken to hospital after coughing up blood. It is nit the virus but the number of people passing by obviously thought that it was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would fall under ethical journalism, which is sadly lacking in the current news for profit model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unclevlad 691 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 2 hours ago, Old Man said: There’s also cardiac damage in some patients, IIRC. But talking about that, or the lung damage, or the neurological damage...I'm pretty sure I have some mild neuropathy related to diabetes, so that's something I'm more aware of than many...doesn't make for a sound bite. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e2.htm An earlier report. A simple takeaway: 20-30% of Covid-19 patients in the report required hospitalization. 5-11% required ICU admission. Yes, just talking about the death rates almost becomes one of the Grand Lies...tell the truth, but only a fraction of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Man 11,246 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Accuracy of testing methodologies: Molecular and antigen tests are pretty good. Antibody tests are... not. I suppose they are better than nothing. TrickstaPriest 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt the Bruins 449 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah, in the best of times I tend to view hugging about as willingly as John Hurt in Alien. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the women on my mother's side of the family are a bunch of huggers. I kind of put up with it at funerals. My mother has mentioned my body language gets the way of a cornered animal a bit.

Badger 1,786 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Yeah, with my whole reluctance for human contact. I think we should keep this social distancing thing in perpetuity. It's great for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mightybec 560 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Looks like the less populated Tennessee counties under the control of the State's health department will be opening up next week. (Not Shelby, ect....) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
