Flu

[helmsdale]

This is wild!

Korea has been testing as hard as they can. They test asymptomatic individuals that have come into contact with others whi have tested positive... italy, france, canada, us, etc, are testing only those who show symptoms, or at worst require hospitalization. 20-29 year olds are literally carrying this thing everywhere!

Wonder why Russia and India so insignificant infected? Crowded India, far from CLEAN...

4 cases of the virus confirmed in Sask now, but do you think they will say where? South Korea alerts everyone exactly where each case was found, provide a text message to people in the area to keep people away, and trace down people who the infected may have come in contact with, and quarantine them. We have the alert system already in place that could do just that. That's how you stamp this out.

Here they are too worried to offend someone's privacy. Fkin idiots will cost many lives instead. If you must go in public put a mask on the virus can hang in the air for up to 3hrs (yes its aerosolized) and it's not just for your sake but mostly for those around you if you have it. Be an example and when you see someone in public without tell em to wear a mask go home or better yet hand them one. Only go out for essentials Stay home ! We as a society need to wake the **** up, work together or this is going to turn into Italy here.

From a Respiratory Critical Care specialist in the USA.

Dear Friends and Dear Public:

I am making an appeal as a Pulmonary physician to all of you.

As extreme and exaggerated the measures we are instituting might seem, this time it IS for REAL. This is NOT the flu. This is 15 times deadlier.

We need to stay at home and only go out for the most important necessities.

For the children and adolescents: being off from school is so we can stay home and be socially isolated. This is the ONLY way to stop the spreading of the virus. Young people typically do not suffer from a severe or fatal illness; however if they take this home, their loved ones might get sick and even die. Be very, very careful with loved ones who are diabetic, asthmatic, hypertensive older than 60, have chronic lung, and/or heart diseases. They will get Deadly sick if infected.

In Italy people are dying NOT just of the coronavirus infections, but from regular diseases that are treatable because the viral cases are overwhelming the healthcare system.

We have 62,000 mechanical ventilators and 95,000 ICU beds in the USA. We already have 80-85% of these in use due to influenza, bacterial pneumonia and other illnesses. If we face a surge of viral pneumonia many, many people will die.

Please help your communities by staying home for now. Staying home saves lives.

There was a guy on CNN last night who went over this virus in pretty good detail. Although it can be community transmitted, those cases are a tiny fraction of the sick. Turns out this is a highly contact disease. A lot of the people who got it were isolated and self quarantined in their homes and got other family members sick. He suggested the sick should have been fully isolated in fever clinics instead of being sent home.

Yep, I already told the wife if she gets it she has to go live in the barn for a couple weeks!

Bill Gates retired from Microsoft and Berkshire on Friday hes off to his doomsday palace in New Zealand to enjoy the view.

Google “Event 201” , Bill laid out the scenarios, along with others in Mid Oct 2019 . He has been sounding the alarm for years but this one just seems a bit spooky, because it actually happened.
I would imagine others “in the know” are in their bug out locations by now as well.
Hopefully this virus does not do the damage it could do. There is only so much the general public can do.
Sad to see Canada was still allowing flights in from all over the world including hot spots even up to just a few days ago..... you could not write a worse script for a bad “viral” movie.

Another take here...a REAL Dr, is he believable?

I hope for the best Mallee. I presume he is fairly healthy. It seems to be not real severe for the young and healthy.

I kid you not a guy that lives in one of my farm house sort of a cross between paramedic and ambulance officer.

Feels like shit described his symptoms to his gp, nah you just got normal flu,no test needed.

Hmmm not flu season here, pretty casual diagnosis I reckon.
