Coronavirus thread

[Karl Henning]

That's why it's so important to have a filter. Everyone has stupid or potentially harmful ideas, just that some people actually think before they speak.

Pity we cannot expect this of the POTUS

Coronavirus detected on particles of air pollution
Exclusive: Scientists examine whether this route enables infections at longer distances

"Coronavirus has been detected on particles of air pollution by scientists investigating whether this could enable it to be carried over longer distances and increase the number of people infected.

The work is preliminary and it is not yet known if the virus remains viable on pollution particles and in sufficient quantity to cause disease.

The Italian scientists used standard techniques to collect outdoor air pollution samples at one urban and one industrial site in Bergamo province and identified a gene highly specific to Covid-19 in multiple samples. The detection was confirmed by blind testing at an independent laboratory.

Leonardo Setti at the University of Bologna in Italy, who led the work, said it was important to investigate if the virus could be carried more widely by air pollution.

"I am a scientist and I am worried when I don't know," he said. "If we know, we can find a solution. But if we don't know, we can only suffer the consequences."

Two other research groups have suggested air pollution particles could help coronavirus travel further in the air.

A statistical analysis by Setti's team suggests higher levels of particle pollution could explain higher rates of infection in parts of northern Italy before a lockdown was imposed, an idea supported by another preliminary analysis. The region is one of the most polluted in Europe."[...]

     "Really Want to Flood NY and NJ": Internal Documents Reveal Team Trump's Chloroquine Master Plan

The remaining question: was there some financial benefit to the Trump clan in this scheme, or was it merely Trump's wish to fulfill "I alone can fix this" mantra from 2016?

Just listening to French radio, they're all talking about how restaurants can open (the French love their food), and some chef said "Oh no, it's difficult, it's impossible to wear a mask when eating  . . ."  and I just had a brilliant idea. Why not create post COVID restaurants in the style of Louis Bunuel's party in The Phantom of Liberty?

The remaining question: was there some financial benefit to the Trump clan in this scheme, or was it merely Trump's wish to fulfill "I alone can fix this" mantra from 2016?

     Trump consistently tries to flout experts and government institutions. He's trying to wrongfoot them, to blame them for not doing things his way. So he'll adopt one positions after another that puts him on the other side of governors, science and health experts and anyone trying to take an objective position.

     The Georgia governor got a good dose of this. Because he acted, he will be blamed if it doesn't work out. He will be in the wrong just as much as if he had done the opposite.

First and foremost, I'm mad at François Legault, for is stupid idea of collective immunity how stupid, this is a pandemic, there not sure what they doing, even Madame Tam Canada health spoke woman says covid 19 party to  get it is stupid, but my province go against this, and praise Legault idea even if risky as hell, and not 100% scientifically proven, they don't know what there doing, so in every backstreet, people do covid-19 party,(people my age whit kid 40-50) whit there kid to catch it , they trust this fool a 100% who is he a doctor, no a buzziness man, thus said not a doctor...

This is serious sh*t jeopardized our health, every sane people in Quebec should wear a darn mask  sick or not, I wear one when I go out in tobbaco store too, don't go out that much, once a day do everything purchase everything I need. Re-opening school too early is stupid, do kid follow the 2 feets distance no they don't.

Quebec population (generation X) especially are idiots, whit there theory of  collective immunity yep we all gonna get sick that way.

Do you're covid party if you won't inside you're stupid house don't  do stupid gathering Covid19 party...unless you're an idiot.

I think I'm more sick of stupidity and ''imcompétance'' of the  one that govern us.

The first case in canada was in January we should had take action that day and confined, the sick on a special islands of health care we in Canada have plenty of these  army based island in the north, we should had ship them there, and stop godamn immigration, quarantine every country for a while , wear stupid mask even if you're not infected, use fumigation like in china to clean the air the shop the street.

The worst part, this country are fool of idiot, and Quebec I'm afraid as it's fair share of dummy.

I'm trough whit this, I'm fed up seem no one know what there doing.And some people here in my country think I AM THE IDIOT...FOOLS!!!

Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported (Financial Times)

[Jo498]

This is somewhat surprising because where I live (Hesse) the average death rate was actually *lower* than the long term average in spite of Corona and it was assumed that the isolation measures reduced deaths from many other infectious diseases. Also the "annual" influenza was supposedly very weak last winter, so one should also take averages over several months, not only comparing the actual week, I think.

[prémont]

Que's graph above says 100 more deaths in Denmark than "normal". The official count of corona related deaths is about 400, so this means that 300 more corona related deaths have replaced 300 deaths from other causes, in the first hand probably flu related deaths.
