Coronavirus ~ COVID-19

nhplowboi · 03-24-2020, 07:19 AM

So this morning I put on the national propaganda news station to see what they were spinning. The anchor stated we are at the top of the coronavirus curve and cases will be going down. I am surprised she wasn't wildly waving around that mimeographed paper "15 days to slow the spread". Clearly Fox is in lockstep with the Trump administration's assertion that our country can "open" again in another week. Must be that miracle Trump talked about a few weeks back is going to happen. You know the one, where we are all going to wake up and it will just be gone.

I am now going to have a letter and a placard on my dashboard. Emergency Response.

I always use handsanitzer when I get back in my car. Using more, especially smearing on my steering wheel and rub what's left on my phone. That's a practice I've done for years, due to the fact I have touched nasty dirty money.

Funny thing I read this morning...

Interviewer: I see a gap in your resume in 2020, what where you doing??

Applicant : I was looking for toilet paper!

Wash your hands!

I too switched over just to see what they were saying on the propaganda news station this morning! Of course they were bashing and blaming the Dems in regards to the lack of a passed stimulus bill!

There’s an unusual addition to the list of possible COVID-19 symptoms: A sudden loss of smell or taste may be a warning sign a person could be infected by the new coronavirus, European and U.S. experts said. The American Academy of Otolaryngology on Sunday announced “rapidly accumulating” anecdotal evidence showed anosmia — the loss of smell — and dysgeusia — an altered sense of taste — were “significant symptoms” associated with COVID-19 when a patient had no other respiratory disease. Many people, including Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert who tested positive for COVID-19, are reporting these unsettling changes in their bodies.

The World Health Organization has seen "quite a few reports" of people losing their sense of smell and taste, and is looking into whether this is an early sign of the disease, said Dr. Maria Kerkhove during a WHO briefing Monday. “Our senses of smell and taste are closely linked together and changes in these senses may occur from inflammation in the upper airway,” Dr. Kris Jatana, associate professor of otolaryngology — head and neck surgery at Nationwide Children's Hospital and Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, told TODAY.

Really Donald? It is going to be a "wonderful thing" this Easter to see the churches packed. Oh, they are going to be packed alright but in the most horrendous of ways. Clearly you still believe in the Easter Bunny.

That stupid idiot! And just in case you don't know what nhplowboi is refering to...

Trump says he wants the country 'opened up and just raring to go by Easter,' despite health experts' warnings.

Japan has "decided" (because of all the pressure) to postpone the Olympics for one year.

Sounds like the religious hustlers are pushing Trump to get the country back up and running because Easter is one of the biggest money making holidays for Christians. They can’t make money if the church doors aren’t open.

"Iceland, which says it’s tested a higher proportion of inhabitants than any other country, found that about half those who tested positive have no symptoms of Covid-19, Thorolfur Gudnason, the nation’s chief epidemiologist, told BuzzFeed News. As many as a third of the people who test positive show delayed symptoms or none at all, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday, citing classified data from the Chinese government."

This is why there should be more testing, even of those who show no symptoms, and why there is so much more community spread. Please note that from what I have read online and seen on the news, the asymptomatic carrier is contagious .... to others. Hence, the need for social distancing.

My heart is full of sorrow for the millions who will be hurt by this virus, and when I think of them, my eyes tear up, as they are doing now.
