Corcaigh Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 With all the St Patrick’s Day events being cancelled can we offset any deaths that occur from Coronavirus against those deaths being prevented from liver disease or choking on your own vomit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Wondering about quarantines and things. Get the impression that in some places (Wuhan and Italy), they're trying to just shut down the country. (That article about Wuhan mentioned that 15 million people were having their meals delivered. I assume that means that almost nobody is going to work.) Really doubt that such a thing is even possible in the US. And who do you except from such a quarantine? I assume health care workers have to go to work Law enforcement? Gotta keep at least some gas stations open. Can people do without grocery stores? Drug stores? Do we need mail? UPS drivers? And let's just pretend that we could get 90% of the country to self quarantine for two weeks. Does the germ go away after two weeks? Or have we just slowed down the spread by two weeks?

China Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Who is getting sick, and how sick? A breakdown of coronavirus risk by demographic factors The new coronavirus is not an equal-opportunity killer: Being elderly and having other illnesses, for instance, greatly increases the risk of dying from the disease the virus causes, Covid-19. It’s also possible being male could put you at increased risk. In the first large study of the effect of underlying illness, researchers in China analyzed 1,590 patients from throughout the country with laboratory-confirmed disease. They calculated how “co-morbidities” — existing illnesses — affected the risk of being admitted to intensive care, being put on a ventilator, or dying. After taking into account the patients’ ages and smoking status, the researchers found that the 399 patients with at least one additional disease (including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hepatitis B, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney diseases, and cancer) had a 79% greater chance of requiring intensive care or a respirator or both, or of dying, they reported last week in a paper posted to medRxiv, a preprint site that posts research before it has been peer-reviewed. The 130 with two or more additional diseases had 2.5 times the risk of any of those outcomes. Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 You Can Get Paid Over $4,500 To Be Infected With The Coronavirus Struggling with your bills? Is your side hustle not paying you enough? Have you considered becoming a human guinea pig for coronavirus research? Sure, the COVID-19 kills 3.4% of those it infects according to the World Health Organization, but that means that 96.6% of people didn’t die. And if you survive, that means you can finally afford to go on that Italian cruise you’ve been dreaming of for years, and as a bonus — you’ll have built up some immunity to the coronavirus to survive your trip to Venice. Win-win. A research company is paying people to get infected with the coronavirus. Yes, that coronavirus. The coronavirus that has whipped the entire planet into a doomsday prepper panic and has people fighting each other over the last roll of toilet paper and last bottle of Purell. The same coronavirus that has infected nearly 110,000 people on every continent except for Antarctica and killed nearly 4,000. The British company Hvivo, which describes itself as “an industry-leading services provider in viral challenge studies and laboratory services supporting product development for customers developing antivirals, vaccines, and respiratory therapeutics, is paying people to intentionally catch the coronavirus. The virus research company is paying £3,500, equivalent to over $4,500, to volunteers to catch the deadly respiratory disease.
