Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[21stamps]

HA! Crossed wires...I was referring to the density of the two counties in my state that aren't showing any cases. But now that you mention it, 2.3 million people who work/live in close proximity...I suspect they either haven't tested anyone yet, or no one has severe enough symptoms to seek medical treatment.

Ah ok! See, I misread sometimes.

I think this whole country is going to see a huge spike in confirmed COVID-19 cases in the next 48 hours.. what I’m wondering is how many are hospitalizations.

That will be interesting to see. Right now there's 36 hospitalisations and 88 confirmed cases, which is to be expected when your testing criteria is so strict and pretty much required the case to be serious. Hopefully soon more mild cases can be tested too.

CDC has finally released some data -

Severe Outcomes Among Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19

COVID-19 can result in severe disease, including hospitalization, admission to an intensive care unit, and death, especially among older adults. Everyone can take actions, such as social distancing...

www.cdc.gov

20% of hospitalizations were people aged 20–44 years.
12% of people admitted to the ICU were people 20-44.
80% of deaths were people 65 and older.

Ah ok! See, I misread sometimes.

Just to be clear, the 2.3 million figure and following sentence was in regards to the counties in your state.

I'm sorry but Meghan Trainor disagrees.

No...I'M SORRY. Celebrities can all go pound sand with their opinions. They don't know jack about jack.

You had me in the first line, not gonna lie.

Watched an ATW vlog. He was walking around Springs and driving around the resort. Creepy. Both the video and ATW.

It was starting to feel like his old backstage videos.

We absolutely will- but not because there are more cases but because there’s more testing. Even the government said this

Exactly. Which is why we are still not going to have a clear picture of how many people have mild symptoms, and if they’re spreading it.

"A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ—but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone—look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether." Rod Serling

I really hope the self-swab kits I heard mentioned are made available to all for free...I realize it's asking a lot, but it could answer so many questions and provide much needed data.

Ragaland Road closed today. Rumor is employees laid off. Not sure if it was more of a furlough situation like Landry's or not.

 

[21stamps]

The thing there is people with mild cases won't go to a doctor and won't be counted. Doctor can't cure the flu, hospitals will only see the worse cases.

Yep. Which leaves us with no good data.

There's so much I could say about that video...
When I see those kids talking and behaving so selfishly and with such disregard for human life, my hopes for the future look bleak.

Scary to think that kids like those, might one day, be in charge.

As sad as it is, their behavior is similar to a lot of the behavior of "mature adults" that where visiting WDW for several days prior to shutdown .

Same with HPV strains. They lie dormant and then resurface

AIDS does produce antibodies (that's what they initially test for). But actually uses the CD4 and C8 sells to replicate. For a while back they used drugs to increase the cell count not realizing they were throwing gas on a fire. Current drugs work to interrupt replication either before, during,or after a cell has been infected.

No layoffs, reduced rent: 'Italian cure' for pandemic

Companies are barred from laying off workers and rents have been reduced under Italy's economic survival plan for life at the European epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte hailed his 25-billion-euro ($28-billion) programme as the "Italian model" that the rest of...

Thats why the CR5 blockers are so strong. Its no cure of course, but it results in a dramatic reduction of the virus.

Korea has only had 0.4% of their population tested. The idea that all 350 million here can be tested right away is this fiction that keeps getting floated around.

Oh, I under no misconception that that many tests will be rolled out at once. I know it's going to take time.
