Case counts and mortality rates are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned because they are just a function of how many and who are being tested. Maybe one country only tests seriously ill people while another tests anyone who wants a test. Death rates and to a lesser extent hospitalizations are the only stats I think are worth paying attention to. 14 minutes ago, stawns said: I had a respiratory virus like nothing I'd ever had before.

RUPERTKBD Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Didn't see this posted. Some positive Covid 19 news for a change: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/health-canada-approves-spartan-biosciences-portable-covid-19-test/ar-BB12yYjx?li=AAggNb9 Quote Health Canada has approved the use of a portable, rapid-testing device for COVID-19. The Spartan Cube from Ottawa's Spartan Bioscience is expected to help provide rapid tests for health services in rural and remote areas such as Indigenous communities. The hand-held device, about the size of a coffee cup, eliminates the need for swab samples to travel to the nearest lab, which can be a logistical challenge. The federal, Alberta and Ontario governments are among those who have contracts for the testing kits, which can confirm results in less than one hour. Ontario has ordered nearly 1 million testing kits, while Alberta's contract is for 100,000 kits. The Cube uses Spartan's COVID-19 test cartridges and proprietary swabs, manufactured in Ottawa. Health Canada greenlit the device on Saturday and Spartan says it will begin shipments "immediately." Spartan says the test, in which either the nose or throat is swabbed, can be operated by non-laboratory personnel in a variety of locales such as airports, border crossings, doctors' offices, pharmacies and clinics. "There is an urgent unmet need for rapid COVID-19 testing, and as a proudly Canadian company, we are excited that our technology will be an important part of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada," CEO Paul Lem said Monday in a release. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Update from across the pond. Mum's step brother Jack is doing better, symptoms are going away. His best friend is also on the mend, however that mans wife is not. Still in the induced coma and things don't look good. Kidney's are failing.. A sad related affect of covid is diminishing health care support. My Aunt was just diagnosed just last week with an aggressive form of breast cancer. They have told her she has less than 3 months unless she gets emergency surgery. It was scheduled for yesterday but was postponed due to the surgeon not having the team he needed show up. They are so stretched thin needing all hands on deck for covid. My aunt is 78 so she is low priority. We're scrambling to try to look at a private option for her. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Quote COVID-19 China: Nation fights second wave of resurgent virus as cases grow A total of 108 new coronavirus cases were reported in mainland China on Sunday, up from 99 a day earlier, marking the highest daily tally since March 5 China’s northeastern border with Russia has become a frontline in the fight against a resurgence of the coronavirus epidemic as new daily cases rose to the highest in nearly six weeks – with more than 90 per cent involving people coming from abroad. Having largely stamped out domestic transmission of the disease, China has been slowly easing curbs on movement as it tries to get its economy back on track, but there are fears that a rise in imported cases could spark a second wave of COVID-19. A total of 108 new coronavirus cases were reported in mainland China on Sunday, up from 99 a day earlier, marking the highest daily tally since March 5. Imported cases accounted for a record 98. Half involved Chinese nationals returning from Russia’s Far Eastern Federal District, home to the city of Vladivostok, who re-entered China through border crossings in Heilongjiang province. “Our little town here, we thought it was the safest place,” said a resident of the border city of Suifenhe, who only gave his surname as Zhu. “Some Chinese citizens — they want to come back, but it’s not very sensible, what are you doing coming here for?” The border is closed, except to Chinese nationals, and the land route through the city had become one of few options available for people trying to return home after Russia stopped flights to China except for those evacuating people. Some Chinese citizens — they want to come back, but it's not very sensible, what are you doing coming here for? Streets in Suifenhe were virtually empty on Sunday evening due to restrictions on movement and gatherings announced last week, when authorities took preventative measures similar to those imposed in Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the pandemic ripping round the world first emerged late last year. The total number of confirmed cases in mainland China stood at 82,160 as of Sunday. At the peak of the first wave of the epidemic on Feb 12 there were over 15,000 new cases, though that was a one-off spike following the deployment of new testing methods. Though the number of daily infections across China has dropped sharply from that peak, China has seen the daily toll creep higher after hitting a trough on March 12 because of the rise in imported cases. Chinese cities near the Russian frontier are tightening border controls and imposing stricter quarantines in response. Suifenhe and Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang, are now mandating 28 days of quarantine as well as nucleic acid and antibody tests for all arrivals from abroad. In Shanghai, authorities found that 60 people who arrived on Aeroflot flight SU208 from Moscow on April 10 have the coronavirus, Zheng Jin, a spokeswoman for the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, told a press conference on Monday. Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Center for Diseases Prevention and Control in Beijing, said the trend for local transmission of the disease in the capital was low. “Imported cases are still the highest risk in Beijing in the second half of April,” Pang said, adding that nearly eight per cent of the 40,000 nucleic acid tests carried out in the city since April 1 had been conducted on people who had come from abroad. China has cut the number of people crossing its borders by 90% and has tried to stop all non-essential journeys, said Liu Haitao, an immigration official, at a separate briefing. “Our border is long, and apart from the border crossings and passages, there are a large number of mountain passes, paths, ferry crossings and small roads, and the situation is very complicated,” he said. Residents in Suifenhe said a lot of people had left the city fearing contagion, but others put their trust in authorities’ containment measures. “I don’t need to worry,” Zhao Wei, another Suifenhe resident, told Reuters. “If there’s a local transmission, I would, but there’s not a single one. They’re all from the border, but they’ve all been sent to quarantine.” https://nationalpost.com/news/world/update-3-russian-border-becomes-chinas-frontline-in-fight-against-second-virus-wave Edited April 13, 2020 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will use this virus outbreak to earn their masters degrees. going to be questions asked for years, hope society doesn't get so busy looking for answers, that they forget to work on solutions.

Gurn Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 potentially bad news regarding transmission rates: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/the-virus-that-causes-covid-19-could-be-even-more-contagious-than-previously-thought-a-new-study-finds/ar-BB12yPFk?ocid=spartandhp The virus that causes COVID-19 could be even more contagious than previously believed, a new study released last week found. [Gallery] Chuck Norris Was Exposed to Coronavirus. Now the Coronavirus is in Isolation See More Sponsored by TooCool2BeTrue In the early days of the outbreak in China, the number of infected people doubled every 2.3 to 3.3 days as opposed to the six to seven days that was previously believed, the study found. That means that the initial R₀ number, which is the number of people that an infected person is expected to infect, is also much higher. Most experts had that number pegged at 2.2 to 2.7, but the researchers believe it something closer to 5.7. The finding were published in an early release article from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and posted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website on Tuesday. The researchers said the findings illustrate the need for active surveillance of confirmed cases and contact tracing , which means figuring out who they have been in contact with. The researchers also argue for quarantines and early and strong social distancing measures. The higher level of infectiousness also means that herd immunity will be harder to achieve. With a lower R₀, such as 2.2, only 55 per cent of the population would have to be infected or vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. With an R₀ of 5.7, that number rises to 82 per cent. The study also hammers down the trajectory of the disease once a person is infected. The researchers estimate that the incubation period, or the time it takes to feel symptoms after being infected is 4.2 days, which is consistent with other estimates. The average amount of time it takes before a person is hospitalized after feeling symptoms varies considerably. Before human-to-human transmissions were being reported in China, it took 5.5 days on average for a person to be hospitalized. After Jan. 18 that number shortened to 1.5 days. News to stay informed. Advice to stay safe. Click here for complete coronavirus coverage from Microsoft News The average time from hospital admittance to discharge was 11.5 days and the average time in hospital before a person died from the disease was 11.2 days. The time from symptom-onset to death was 16.1 days. The researchers pored through publicly available case data for confirmed COVID-19 cases and looked at travel data from China. In particular, they looked at data collected outside the disease’s epicentre of Wuhan in Hubei Province to avoid data problems caused by the overwhelmed health care systems and changes in how authorities responded to the disease. By the time COVID-19 reached other provinces beyond Hubei, the authorities had access to diagnostic kits and were actively tracking people from Wuhan. Colby Cosh on the testing secrets of the North Atlantic: World-famous businessmen and local veterinarians COVID-19 China: Nation fights second wave of resurgent virus as cases grow COVID-19: Canadian, provincial governments raced to build new supply chains amid N95 mask fears During a briefing Thursday, Canadian health officials said they estimated that before stronger public health measures were introduced each infected Canadian infected 2.2 other people on average. There are a few reasons why the numbers from China in January could be higher. For one, the study estimates that somewhere between 40,000 and 140,000 people in Wuhan travelled outside of Hubei Province before the lockdown was imposed on Jan. 23. “The extensive travel before the Lunar New Year was probably an important driver of the spread of COVID-19 in China,” the study says. Canadian health officials also had the luxury of several months to prepare as they watched the outbreak sweep across the globe and instituted social distancing measures early on."

coastal.view Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 14 hours ago, The Lock said: Except it's the small number of people that often ruin things for everyone. Laws are literally made so that the small number of people will comply with them. Video games are changed due to a small number of people exploiting them. In this case, it's the "small number of people" killing other people through transmitting the disease. It doesn't matter how many or how few there are. The fact that there are people not complying puts everyone else at risk. Period. Like I said before, I would love to have your faith in humanity, but I kind of think it would be better suited to being a positive mindset believing we'll get through this rather than ignoring what people are doing in prolonging this disease. Again, the numbers don't matter here. The very fact that they're risking our lives over their ignorance of all of this is what angers me in the end. I have no sympathy for those people at all if they aren't willing to sympathize with everyone else. right except you for overlooking that we got to where we are because the vast majority did as recommended so not sure why you still wish to focus on the minority you want rules for the minority who won't follow them anyway i'd rather see more realistic rules for everyone with some enforcement for those who breach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
