Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
Still on the frontline unfortunately. I don't have much time as you can imagine but I still read the forum.
The situation has definitely improved, a lot. I spent my shift last night without a single new case. How long that lasts, remains to be seen.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
And It's soon to talk about 2nd wave. Don't deceive.
in Autumn we'll have back the traditional seasonal influences who mixed with Covid generate the worst effects.
Atm many cases again Italy for example . But deaths aren't many unlike of "1st wave" .
That's why the middle age lowered too much . Now it's around 43 years :/ Holidays have taken to this .
I don't know how other countries have worked for the schools, if opened or not during Covid, but Italy 've closed every school since March and after whole months - where you'd have could think concrete solutions- we are under total improvisation in September.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
I'm kinda optimistic the resurgence expected in the colder months won't be as bad as first feared. Local lockdowns have worked to contain spread, mask wearing and social distancing are integrated parts of every day life now, and we have better means to fight the infection. Seasonal conditions will spark an increase but it shouldn't be as bad as it was back in March/April for Europe. If it is, we'll have really fucked up.
At the moment, Covid is a young person's disease. Death rates have fallen predominantly because it's younger people getting the virus after economies re-opened and travelling was permitted. It's still a massive problem because these people will infect older and more vulnerable people, but for now the situation isn't as grim as it was.
In the UK, schools were open only for kids of key workers. Now they're fully opening again this week, but with "bubbles" based on year groups. The government have new guidelines in place in case infections spike, such as doing two weeks at school followed by two weeks of home learning (introduced at the last minute, of course, in true Boris Johnson fashion). Secondary school students in areas under local lockdown have to mask up, whereas it's entirely the school's decision anywhere else.

The school year has already started here. The strategy is to teach the kids in isolated groups but without the masks. This way if someone is sick only the teacher and the kids of the said group are going to be quarantined. When they go outside or to eat a meal a face mask and washing the hands before entering the room are required. The rooms are also separated for the day.

Not ded, still doing better than Engurland in average but to be expected of a large 1 billion + people nation.
I'm not too optimistic about the situation in Europe nearing winter. Flu+cold+Wuhan virus will be a deadly cocktail for some.

This is prettty much my own take as of late. There'll be a 2nd wave, cases may even be bigger, but the mortality rate will be much lower. Social distancing et all will need to be followed, but hospitals are unlikely to get overwhelmed (which is the real concern).

We are doing quite well with our recovery rate, just can't handle the continuous new forming clusters which isn't a surprise to anyone.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
How are ICU and fatality numbers in whatever countries?
There's just one person in intensive care in Finland at the moment, in spite of daily cases trending upwards for a month or so. One doctor was speculating that the virus might have mutated to a less severe strain. Or maybe it could be that proportionally more younger people have been getting infected, as they tend to take more risks in regards to infection. A less lethal mutation would be good news, I suppose.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
About 2,000 new cases and 10 deaths reported in the UK yesterday. ICU numbers remain low.
The curve is creeping upwards again but growth is slow rather than experiential. I think the R number was hovering around 0.9-1.1 on average here, but obviously that'll be higher in the North West where there are a local lockdowns.
Also there was a report today on tests being too sensitive and picking up dead virus fragments, which may be inflating the figures a little bit. So the situation might actually be better than what's being reported.
Whack-a-Covid seems to be working at the moment.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
Argentina (0.6% world population) has recently broken in the top 10 by amount of cases, and that's with our covid tests coming in at 50% positive, so the real number could be exponentially higher.
Couple factors:
-We have the longest lockdown in the world, and people are sick of it. We locked down too early when we didn't need to, and now that we need to people won't follow it.
-Seasonality, it's now winter.
-Very touchy culture, greeting people by kissing them in the cheek regardless of sex, sundays with the boys or larger family is a huge part of culture, etc. Simply can't do stay at home culturally.
-Poor infrastructure. Wouldn't trust my ability to WFH with slow AF internet and the occasional blackout, many people still trying to go to work because after such a long lockdown they need a source of income.
-Hospitals are completely overrun
-More details, once again we've become an example of what not to do according to the international media: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/comment/argentina-perfect-evidence-that-lockdown-are-a-disaster/
Meanwhile the government has adopted draconian measures. You need a permit just to be outside your home. People in the capital have a huge amount of trouble leaving it and are essentially locked in. The economy is, predictably, in complete collapse.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
WI's positivity rate has been shooting up for a while now. Cases and % positive are now taking off after a university in the middle of a college town decided to come back in person. This is a school known as a premier "party school" in a state with an extremely ingrained drinking culture.
Who could have known the "Smart Restart" could have failed?
In any case we're not an outlier compared to other Big 10 schools. Between colleges and weather, me thinks Midwest might start to get hit harder.
With that being said, you might hope that college students just infect each other. They might actually not be interacting very much with the community at large. And I imagine the school goes online in a couple weeks anyway

SourceCOVID-19 May Cause Sudden Diabetes
The other one is in German, basically the same but with a more extensive study. They noticed a very high prevalence of new diabetes cases during the Wuhan virus pandemic. They could also prove in at least one individual diabetes wasn't caused the usual way described in the medicine books but caused by an autoimmune reaction due to the Wuhan virus:

I looked at the numbers a bit in France, UK, Brazil, India etc.
India and Brazil have got a very high population density in their cities so the transmission is more or less unavoidable. If you look at UK or France, the numbers of newly infected has exploded as soon as the temperatures fell. I think the ability of the Wuhan virus to survive longer in colder climates makes a huuuge difference.

@BC
True, most likely treatment of the Wuhan Virus patients has gotten much better over time because in France or Spain the fatality rate is still high even though they've got warmer weather and more vitamin D. Not dying doesn't mean there're no consequences longterm so I'd still avoid getting sick in the first place.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
I am really puzzled...What the F*** is the end point with this Covid non-sense?
It's been nearly a full year with this and we are on square one. Literally zero progress on this "virus" and even if there is immunity after catching it. The economic ruin that's about to hit will be devastating. I can't see many airlines or hotels surviving another 6 months of this nonsense.
and after...what? How will we get out of this? Giving up our human instincts, wearing a muzzle and locking ourselves down at the house for indefinite future waiting for a magical vaccine? Even let's assume a magical vaccine is produced in the next 6 months, unless you round people up like Hitler did with the jews and force them to take it, then you still have some problem.
Then what do you do? Ban those who refused the vaccine from participating in the society? from having jobs? from flying? WTF is going on.
Australia has gone fucking batshit insane. I can easily see Canada and UK following the same as weather gets colder. Thank fuck I don't live in the insane Anglosphere now, here at least everything is 99% normal.
