COVID* STANDFORD MASK STUDY---Elsevier journal to retract widely debunked masks study whose author claimed a Stanford affiliation p345

No.

Well there ya go. Plain English or Plain Canadian. Whichever.

Good for the Health Minister.

Using the word "stockpile" implies long term, to me.

1. This California #Covid19 cases with no travel history & no link to other cases suggests the virus is spreading, undetected, to some degree. She had to be infected somewhere. I hope the staff in the first hospital that treated her used appropriate PPE.

2. The woman was transferred to UCDavis Medical Center on Feb. 19, already on a ventilator. Anyone involved in intubating her would be at risk of contracting #Covid 19 if they weren't wearing proper PPE. [link to davisenterprise.com (secure)]

Am I putting enough information in my posts? I've just been trying to shorten my posts to the most relevant. There is just so much info pouring in out there, I make a post, and 10 minutes later it's old and no longer valid.

Are we good so far?

240'? That wasn't a cheap well. I'm drawing at 75' so bailing for me is feasible. Worst case scenario, I walk across the road and bail from the St. Lawrence River.

Yes IMHO. Often the headline says it all, folks can dive deeper into it by following link. So much news now it's overwhelming. You're doing an amazing job.

Markets getting killed. Again.

I have 2 three-season creeks on my property in the Summer, and 5 feet of snow in the winter.

sorry if off topic My well is that deep too but we can not store gas for gen very long and they take a lot of gas, solar pump is too expensive for me. I plan to use this dip the rope system for back up emergency. I have a bike peddle pulley set up in mind, better than nothing.

I guess it's either ignorance or panic, according to the "experts." Humans are such a simple species.

Yes great job. Sorry we get off topic a bit at times. I like the tread because I can get the facts fast without scrolling through a lot of personal PS. feel free to delete this personal comment to make it easier for others to get the facts.

Yeah, deep wells are a problem. Keep in mind you will probably need a winch/crane system to pull that much pipe and pump. It's not going to be light. 1" PVC weighs 41# per 100'.

The mosquito will spread this wuflu this summer.so be prepared to protect yourself.

yep, do we know age of CA woman?

No. Unless you have a link to back up that assertion.

no

Characteristics of and Important Lessons From the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Outbreak in China

Summary of a Report of 72,314 Cases From the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention


Age distribution (N=44,672)

+80 years: 3% (1408 cases)

30-79 years: 87% (38,680 cases)

20-29 years: 8% (3619 cases)

10-19 years: 1% (549 cases)

<10 years: 1% (416 cases)


Spectrum of disease (N=44,415)

Mild: 81% (36,160 cases)

Severe: 14% (6168 cases)

Critical: 5% (2087 cases)


Case-fatality rate

2.3% (1023 of 44,672 confirmed cases)

14.8% in patients aged +80 years (208 of 1408)

8.0% in patients aged 70-79 years (312 of 3918)

49.0% in critical cases (1023 of 2087)



*Most case patients were 30 to 79 years of age (87%)

*The overall case-fatality rate (CFR) was 2.3%

*No deaths occurred in the group aged 9 years and younger,

*No deaths were reported among mild and severe cases.

*The CFR was 49.0% among critical cases.

*CFR was elevated among those with preexisting comorbid conditions—10.5% for cardiovascular disease, 7.3% for diabetes, 6.3% for chronic respiratory disease, 6.0% for hypertension, and 5.6% for cancer

*COVID-19 rapidly spread from a single city to the entire country in just 30 days. The sheer speed of both the geographical expansion and the sudden increase in numbers of cases surprised and quickly overwhelmed health and public health services in China

It would have been nice for them to have been a little more specific than 30-79 years of age...that's a really big age range.

Sky News has reported 130 people in The H10 Costa Adeje Palace, out of 700 locked down, can now leave.



They were initially asked to stay in their rooms on Tuesday (25 February)



Two days oughta do it. Carry on.

h/t tetano (an Italian pediatrician)


Tetano:

The intention is to consider only serious and dead cases as cases that will be communicated, the rest will be counted separately and only for epidemiological purposes

China was accused of hiding the cases, I don't believe it. Italy is deciding to hide the cases and downplay the epidemic

If the cases are few and concern only elderly or fragile people it will be more simple to say that the epidemic is no worrysome




Italy is changing the way it reports cases.

In Vienna there is the first confirmed case of coronavirus. A 72-year-old is seriously ill. The case was announced by City Councilor Peter Hacker ( SPÖ ). The patient should be an Austrian.

The man had been in the Rudolf Foundation for ten days, showing classic flu symptoms. The diagnosis was then made after a routine examination . This was ordered by the hospital association ( KAV ) at the weekend due to the spread of the virus for all patients who showed corresponding symptoms. On Thursday he was brought to the isolation station in the Kaiser-Franz-Josef hospital .

Three hospital stations blocked
Three stations of the Rudolf Foundation have currently been blocked, including the intensive care unit where the pensioner had been treated. The state medical director is on site in the hospital , the locks may need to be extended.




Well, there goes Vienna.

How many ICU nurses just got sidelined because THOSE FRIKKEN MORONS handling the batch of repatriated folks DO NOT KNOW WHAT A QUARANTINE IS?

I knew this was coming last night and it's why I got so upset.

I'll say this, I'm THANKFUL to be a RETIRED RN rather than an active one.

I am so frustrated at the CDC for putting our front-line HCWs in Harm's Way.

I share your anger.

CDC hubris.

Oh, and the number I heard was 11. 11 highly trained ICU people who are now out of the game for weeks.

This. Exactly. STOCKPILE ain't three to seven days, folks.

Brutal.

We're good. Thanks again for the thread, NB.

Wolf is squirming and his voice is shaky. Almost feel bad for him - but he should be able to confidently answer every one of these questions, considering his position.
