The hospitals where I work at have confirmed COVID cases on isolation. Gonna attend some meetings for case handling and containment as I may be on deck for some radiologic procedures on these patients. Hopefully we're also given exeptions on the local travel ban.

As said in another thread, China tried to suppress the reports and keep the numbers low, but they have taken containment efforts seriously, and shared the viral genome information with the world in record time.
Meanwhile the US has voted against an emergency paid leave bill, is behind the curve on testing kits, and seems more concerned with the health of the stock market than slowing infection. And delegating the issue to Jared Kushner on top of that.... China's response is better. On another note, I think Japan is also trying to suppress the number of reports because of Olympics 2020

Yea, I think China was trying to keep the information down so they wont look too bad and Italy is a totally mess.
But I am so disappointed with President Trump, U.S. Congress, and others in power here. This would be happening if they got off their butts in the beginning to stop it but they were fussing between each other and Trump being a idiot as usual. Now he has to deal wtih Bear Market, all of the gains he did is almost gone and a growing number of infected people

As for the US, voting against an emergency and temporary paid leave bill is about as stupid as it gets. Seriously, all they can shove all concern about the stock market up where the sun does not shine. And **** Jared too. As for Japan, I hope they look at UEFA and consider postponing to 2021 as a sensible plan B for the Olympics. UEFA already shoved the Euros up to next year. |

Japan is a ticking time bomb.
They deliberately refuse to test people. https://www.businessinsider.com/masa...navirus-2020-3

Aaaaand we're out of hand sanitizers and Sterillium. Had to go outside and buy my own from pharmacies, who themselves are low on stock.
Used the plural form because I had to go to 3 pharmacies just for a few bottles. Had to leave my own for my grandma at home who had ckd5 and is 91yo, and is very much at risk for serious conplications

The Joe Rogan podcast with Michael Osterholm is really in-depth with laying out the reality of CoViD-19 and dispelling all the rumours and lies floating around:
And no ramlean, even being optimistic, we're not seeing that vaccine until at least September AFTER the testing phase is done and that's not taking into account the manufacturing and distribution of said vaccine to everyone. The peak of the virus will be May at the earliest and July in the best case scenario.

They just confirmed that Canada's First Lady has been tested positive for COVID-19 after a trip to the UK. As a consequence at the moment, our Prime Minister has imposed a self-quarantine.
In Canada, provincial premiers have also taken a number of measures today to curb the spreading of the virus. We are urged to stay at home now. Indoor gatherings of 250+ people are now banned, with good reasons. It's utter madness. |

2. It's true that the West is paying the price for their stupidity but this is not the worst. Worst things will come in due time. I will be laughing from my grave. |

The whole "I don't need an outbreak medical team thing so I'm going to kinda... underfund and delete that government function" attitude thing from Trump is top-level foreshadowing, I must say.
...Of course, that's a joke. The buffoon doesn't have that intelligence. But I do get a kick out of the saying that he can't use his cronies for once to harass the enemy (the virus).

And no, that couple of page long, middle-school standard "research paper" from that Chinese scientist's Researchgate profile does not count. It's more likely his profile was hacked by trolls or something Quote:

But how about, they are doing it on purpose and not because they want to have the olympics this year? From an economic standpoint, japan has a severe problem due to their aging population. Coupled with their no immigration policy, it is a bad end. Even in the age of Trump there is no way they can institute a Logan's Run policy, but a virus like this can prune the 60+ population while leaving those twenty or less unharmed. No, I am not saying the japanese goverment created the virus, just like the bush administration did not made 9/11, but you know the saying "a crisis is a window of opportunity" and profiting from a crisis is politics 101.

China, or more specifically the CCP, is actively trying to gaslight the origin of Coronavirus because of their role in it becoming a worldwide pandemic.

That said, their response has still been profound: COVID-19: Study says placing Wuhan under lockdown delayed spread by nearly 80% Quote:
That vaccine will probably be widely available in 2021 or 2022 if the testing phase doesn't go well. Yes, the development of a vaccine this quick is great in the long term. But we're buggered in the short term given how badly the West has been handling this. --- Additionally, a decent video explaining the mathematics of epidemics (with a spotlight on COVID-19):

The doctor I posted about is currently in critical condition. Apparently her confirmed positive patient lied about travel history and wasn't triaged properly as a result. Both of them were tested when the doctor started showing symptoms and they both ended up positive. The patient is stable but the doctor is currently teetering between life and death.
Please be honest with your doctors. Not only will it help save your life, but your doctor's life as well.
