Corona Virus #8

[hawkeye08]

We have another health care crisis in the making.. hospitals that are empty, health care workers being sent home because there are no patients. We have areas that are slammed for sure, but the empty hospitals and clinics far out number them.. We need to open up the country for business sooner than Dr Fauci thinks.. it is going to take years to recover economically from this crisis... unless we are saved with the vaccine being developed.. I heard another existing drug is showing much promise, 1 dose, cured within 48hrs.

Common Anti-Parasite Drug May Kill Coronavirus in Under 48 Hours, Say Researchers

I posted this on another forum, never got a satisfactory answer. This makes no sense to me. Wuhan is where it started and 11,000,000+ people are living there closer proximity than in NYC.



Curious why the death rates are so high in Italy and Spain?!?

After all, the virus STARTED in Wuhan, China. Wuhan's population is 11 million alone! China's population is 1.4 billion!!!

Spain's population is 46.7 million and yet the death rate (so far!) in Spain is three times that of China!

The virus has had more time to spread at the source (China) before migrating to Europe. Any ideas why this is?View attachment 649202

I don't think you can trust the numbers out of China... the death rate for any country is highly dependent on how many are tested.. some countries are testing more than others.. so you don't have a consistent denominator. If all countries were testing xxxx/100000 for example, then you might be able to compare death rates.. I read that over 50% of the cases don't show any symptoms. As Dr Brix has said, after this is over, they may be able to go back and do some work to determine more answers, but this is not the time.

Yes, since you asked for ideas...

First, given China's history, there's a good chance the numbers are a lot lower than actual.
Second, did the police show up at the publics' doorstep demanding they quarantine in the U.S. as soon as it was apparent this was a highly contagious virus? Nope. We're just getting to that point 4 months later here.

Just a couple ideas. Nothing fact based.

Here's another thought! ( I apologize so many questions). First, I understand we all were caught off guard. I also understand very few and I mean VERY few people really understand hygenics. Some health care workers I've heard are knowledgeable, know proper mask, goggles, gloves, wash constantly, wash clothes (scrubs) at home, was shoes...list goes on.
However! Today's a good example for me...
Wife and I get feed, supplies from farm store. Everyone has on a mask/gloves. We still had to touch lots of things! In truck I have alcohol cleaner (whiskey under the seat) but still have to touch keys, handles, etc. They we get restaurant take out (how clean is that?).
My point is you could be 99% perfect...but that 1% mistake is all it takes!
Other forums I read "I'm doing everything right, and staying home". To that I say phooey, we still have to eat.
Remember aids years ago, some people who were positive deliberately tried to spread it!

Perhaps ???, this is an engineered virus, attacking only certain compatible DNA receptors, that are only found in non-Asian peoples? :confused3:

Good thought! Hmmmmm....

Good thought! Hmmmmm....

Also forgot to add to Stepp...a good friend lives in Palos Verdes (LA)...his wife is Chinese. I was talking to them recently about the biological warfare lab in Wuhan, how I thought "something got out"...his wife said she thought the same thing!

Just put MIL's home up for sale. We will see how home sales are during the pandemic. :confused3:

A coworker put his house up for sale a week ago. Got several offers within 24 hours. Sold in 48. Location, location, location.

We sold ours just before it started and don't settle until December, just sitting back and waiting now to see what happens but inspections are restricted and auctions are online only.
I wonder if prices will drop, agents say no, of course.
