My mom keeps telling me whenever they find something that can be turned into ventilators with minor changes. I don't know what she wants me to do with this information.

She wants a vacuum-cum-ventilator for mother's day.  Just going to do a bit of tidying-up while I breathe.

Holy crap, my wife's job relented on their archaic remote access policies and she got the go-ahead to work from home.  Now that government money will pay for her missing a month of work after having the baby later this year.

Nope, shot down!

Just took a drive through town. Didn't leave my car obviously.

It was like driving through Chernobyl.
Eerily quiet, empty streets, empty parking lots even and usually this place is quite lively in the early evening.
Exchanged friendly waves with the bus driver, the pawg on her scooter and the two poor souls walking their dogs.
 
Which was all human contact in a 30 minute drive.

dutch pawg?

Paris hospitals looking into a way to have patients get respiratory assistance with remote medical monitoring, hopefully to free up ICU beds faster.

While the Great East region is the one that saturated first, Paris and Ile de France are where the most cases are and healthcare facilities there are starting to get at capacity. Like with Strasbourg and Mulhouse, they're starting transferring patients in others regions not hit as hard.

Hopefully effects from the lockdown should start to help within the week but with the long ICU treatments needed it will take some time to free beds.

The IMF is considering that a recession in Europe is inevitable and the FAO is worried about stress on farming and food production worldwide exacerbated by countries restricting exports.

USA on its way into the exclusive 3000 fatalities club. Will took a little longer to overtake France (will depends on how things develop...).

More states have moved to have some sort of measure in place though.

[VomKriege]

Financial Times has yet to update its graph even though the US is literally off the chart now

Not all US data may be in... Well it depends on what 24h window you operate with but Worldometer resets at 00:00 GMT, or so they say. I usually see the FT tracker updated in the morning.

USA overtook France in fatalities now.

France got 80+ people in hospitals in Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg. They want to push that number to over a 100 soon.

Just imagine the US asking Mexico for help 

In other news. German deaths are still pretty low, but there are several eldery care homes that got hit hard. One of them already got 17+ fatalities. That shit is rough.. and more confirmed cases in different care homes have been made public.

Ya love to see it. Boomer Remover™ doing the job of removing Boomers.

No I don't love to see people dying from disease?

I'll be edgy a moment and say: I do. If folks like the UK dinner, Seattle Choir, Florida Slip-and-Slide party want to get-together over "FAKE NEWS!!!!!111oneone!1111!1!"™, catch it and die: Well they Darwin Awarded themselves. It's nobody's fault but their own for continuing to ignore WHO/Federal Doctor's orders.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was America/UK/whatever country" only goes so far when you have literal journalists and articles about the dangers of this virus.

I feel bad for the folks that get caught by their stupidity, but folks going to Cancun or whatever for Spring Break and the doctors around the country are like "no, you shouldn't go anywhere unless it's to literally get food for yourself and family?" Nah, fuck them. They knew the risks.

Real psycho hours here.

Don't know if that's really possible? Logically speaking, you'd no longer be immunologicaly naive anymore so you'd think the second time around you'd be less caught off-guard, physiologically.
But I suppose it remains to be seen for a while yet, needs research. And all you see floating around for it is often fake/mischaracterized news.   

[TEEEPO]

it's worth noting that antibodies aren't forever and it's unclear how long the immunity will last. it could be months to upwards of a few years when judging by prior coronaviruses.

[OnlyRegret]

If I remember correctly, there are more "learning" mechanisms associated with the immune system than just the antibodies. But I don't quite recall and don't know enough about the subject to even know where to start.
SARS 1.0 had antibodies persisting for over year IIRC. Realistically speaking, once you've caught it once, unless you go bubble boy after the fact you'll probably be continually exposed well before say a year mark. So I don't know how that'd effect antibody persistence.

[benjipwns]

Can you guys stop talking this gobbledygook technobabble and get back to some facts truth about the BOOMER REMOVER's cultural and societal cleansing forces?

On Sunday, FBI agents said they approached Feldheim at his home after observing several individuals walking away from his door with boxes that they believed contained medical equipment.

"After identifying themselves as FBI agents, they told Feldheim that they wanted to stay a distance away from him given concerns over the spread of Coronavirus," the DOJ said in a statement. "When the agents were within four to five feet of him, Feldheim allegedly coughed in their direction without covering his mouth."

Feldheim then told the agents he was infected with COVID-19, according to DOJ.

As a result, Feldheim was arrested and charged with assaulting a federal officer, as well as making false statements after prosecutors said he repeatedly lied about his possession and sale of the equipment.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli police have used a drone, helicopter and stun grenades in recent days to prevent people gathering in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem in defiance of Health Ministry measures aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus.

On Monday, police, some in riot gear and surgical masks, encountered occasional resistance and verbal abuse while enforcing the measures in a part of the city whose residents have long chafed against the state.

"Nazis!" shouted a group of boys, as police pulled men off the narrow streets of Mea Shearim.

As well as broadcasting the message "Stay Home" from the helicopter and drone, police have issued offenders with fines.

Israeli officials describe the ultra-Orthodox as especially prone to contagion because their districts tend to be poor and congested, and in normal times they are accustomed to holding thrice-daily prayers with often large congregations.

Some of their rabbis have also cast doubt on the degree of coronavirus risk.

Many ultra-Orthodox reject the authority of the Israeli state, whose Jewish majority is mostly secular.

Israel's 21 percent Arab minority are another sensitive community, where officials say testing for the virus has been lagging.

"There are three 'Corona Countries' - the ultra-Orthodox sector, the Arab sector and the rest of the State of Israel," Defense Minister Naftali Bennett told reporters on Sunday.

at the current rate of growth (doubling every three days), here are the new US estimates

Mon 3/30   150,000
Tue 3/31   189,000
Wed 4/1   238,140
Thu 4/2   300,056
Fri 4/3   378,071

Wed 4/8   1,200,677
Thu 4/9   1,512,853
Fri 4/10   1,906,195

hopefully it slows down even more, although it's amazing to me that even with all the measures in place we'll still have millions of cases. How long can people stay inside?

Isn't half your country half-assing this currently?

Yeah I don't think our testing will ever catch up with the number of actual cases. Particularly in states like Florida and Arizona.

Also if we're doubling every three days, then wouldn't half the country be infected in 30 days or so? I'm guessing we'll see it slow down as quarantines should start to show their effects soon (2 week lag?) but we already starting to saturate the healthcare resources. In my brothers hospital, people have to reuse N95 masks using the baking method.

One thing I know is that there's going to be a massive protest after this is done, all that money thrown at healthcare administrators in this country and there's basically no logistics in place.
