There is no way this doesn't blow up into a worse situation than we're seeing in Italy. Italy offers three days sick leave immediately and then 20 days at half wage after that if you're still sick. While in the US restaurant, fast food, gas station, grocery, WalMart, etc workers are going to be working sick to survive.

Shared by a physician on FB



Shared today from a physician colleague, Dr. Daniele Macchini. He is an ICU doc in Bergamo, Italy, which is just northeast of Milan. They are currently on lockdown.

“After much thought about whether and what to write about what is happening to us, I felt that silence was not responsible. I will therefore try to convey to people far from our reality what we are living in Bergamo in these days of Covid-19 pandemic. I understand the need not to create panic, but when the message of the dangerousness of what is happening does not reach people I shudder.
I myself watched with some amazement the reorganization of the entire hospital in the past week, when our current enemy was still in the shadows: the wards slowly 'emptied', elective activities were interrupted, intensive care were freed up to create as many beds as possible.
All this rapid transformation brought an atmosphere of silence and surreal emptiness to the corridors of the hospital that we did not yet understand, waiting for a war that was yet to begin and that many (including me) were not so sure would ever come with such ferocity.
I still remember my night call a week ago when I was waiting for the results of a swab. When I think about it, my anxiety over one possible case seems almost ridiculous and unjustified, now that I've seen what's happening. Well, the situation now is dramatic to say the least.
The war has literally exploded and battles are uninterrupted day and night. But now that need for beds has arrived in all its drama. One after the other the departments that had been emptied fill up at an impressive pace.
The boards with the names of the patients, of different colours depending on the operating unit, are now all red and instead of surgery you see the diagnosis, which is always the damned same: bilateral interstitial pneumonia.
Now, explain to me which flu virus causes such a rapid drama. And while there are still people who boast of not being afraid by ignoring directions, protesting because their normal routine is 'temporarily' put in crisis, the epidemiological disaster is taking place. And there are no more surgeons, urologists, orthopedists, we are all just doctors who suddenly become part of a single team to face this tsunami that has overwhelmed us.
Cases are multiplying, they arrive at a rate of 15-20 admissions per day all for the same reason. The results of the swabs now come one after the other: positive, positive, positive. Suddenly the E.R. is collapsing.
Reasons for the access always the same: fever and breathing difficulties, fever and cough, respiratory failure. Radiology reports always the same: bilateral interstitial pneumonia, bilateral interstitial pneumonia, bilateral interstitial pneumonia. All to be hospitalized.
Someone already to be intubated and go to intensive care. For others it's too late... Every ventilator becomes like gold: those in operating theatres that have now suspended their non-urgent activity become intensive care places that did not exist before.
The staff is exhausted. I saw the tiredness on faces that didn't know what it was despite the already exhausting workloads they had. I saw a solidarity of all of us, who never failed to go to our internist colleagues to ask, 'What can I do for you now?'
Doctors who move beds and transfer patients, who administer therapies instead of nurses. Nurses and doctors with tears in their eyes because we can't save everyone, and the vital parameters of several patients at the same time reveal an already marked destiny.
There are no more shifts, no more hours. Social life is suspended for us. We no longer see our families for fear of infecting them. Some of us have already become infected despite the protocols.
Some of our colleagues who are infected also have infected relatives and some of their relatives are already struggling between life and death. So be patient, you can't go to the theatre, museums or the gym. Try to have pity on the myriad of old people you could exterminate.
We just try to make ourselves useful. You should do the same: we influence the life and death of a few dozen people. You with yours, many more. Please share this message. We must spread the word to prevent what is happening here from happening all over Italy.
I finish by saying that I really don't understand this war on panic. The only reason I see is mask shortages, but there's no mask on sale anymore. We don't have a lot of studies, but is panic really worse than neglect and carelessness during an epidemic of this sort?"

Italy went from 500 cases to declaring the whole country a red zone in two weeks.

The doubling rate of the infection is estimated to be every six days. Lab companies think it'll be eight weeks until the supply of COVID-19 tests starts to meet demand.

By then, approximately 1.8 million people in the US will have been infected.

In the absence of a competent, concerned and prepared government, thoughts and prayers, y'all.

In the meantime let's hope the antiviral remdesivir clinical trials the CDC is conducting are successful for helping the seriously ill, maybe China will come out with real data on how chloroquine is working on the larger trial.

maybe take lots of steroids if you get the virus to prevent the crazy immune overreaction that damages your lungs...

edit: yup they tried it already. Looks like the study ends 3/30 (unless I'm reading this incorrectly: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04273321)

https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/06/coronavirus-like-combination-sars-aids-doctors-say-12359066/

The effects of Covid-19 on the human body ‘is like a combination of SARS and AIDS as it damages both the lungs and immune systems’, Peng Zhiyong (...) director of Zhongnan Hospital’s ICU in Wuhan, made the comments after speaking to forensic specialist Liu Lang, whose team has reportedly carried out tests on nine patients who had died of the virus. "Based on the results, the most important thing is to take measures at an early stage of the disease to protect patients’ lungs from irreversible fibrosis"

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease which occurs when tissue becomes damaged and scarred, causing it to become thicker and therefore harder for the lungs to work properly. As it worsens the sufferer becomes progressively short of breath.

- the autopsy of an 85-year-old man revealed lung damage caused by excess mucus spilling out of tiny air sacs which absorb oxygen, indicating an inflammation response to the virus within the airways

- not all coronavirus patients will suffer permanent fibrosis. Dr Peng called for measures to help prevent fibrosis of the lungs during the early stages of infection

- a more aggressive strain was behind the initial outbreak and accounts for 70 per cent of cases, while a milder version is now spreading faster

Yeah 0.7% for a virus whose infection rate is modeled at 40% to 70% is a huge number of dead Americans, like surprise nuking say Milwaukee or Salt Lake City. It probably doesn't get to that since warming temperatures should (hopefully) slow its transmission, but we don't know that for sure yet.

Mightn't it be possible aggressive testing/treating people earlier in the infection cycle leads to better outcomes?

[Winehole23]

It's also possible that lax testing leads to underdiagnosis.

Two points here: if the extent of the spread of the virus is undermeasured, the overall death rate will look higher; underdiagnosis may also cause higher mortality, cases will be missed, or treatment will start too late to make a difference.

Seems a political emphasis on public health preparedness and prompt, coordinated countermeasures can make a difference on how fast a disease spreads. It might also save a few lives.

It's not about stopping, it's about containment and slowing down the infection rate while we expand testing and develop a vaccine. Just trying to buy time. The last thing you want is to have a collapsing healthcare system because everybody is panicked every time they have a cough.

Frankly, the US is ill equipped to deal with a plan like that. Not because the tech is lacking, but because it's all about the money. While your average ST poster making 7 figures can certainly self-quarantine for 14+ days, your average worker isn't getting that benefit.

It's not about stopping, it's about containment and slowing down the infection rate while we expand testing and develop a vaccine. Just trying to buy time. The last thing you want is to have a collapsing healthcare system because everybody is panicked every time they have a cough.

Frankly, the US is ill equipped to deal with a plan like that. Not because the tech is lacking, but because it's all about the money. While your average ST poster making 7 figures can certainly self-quarantine for 14+ days, your average worker isn't getting that benefit.

The point isn't to stop it, its to slow it down so that the health care system can keep up with it. What is happening in South Korea is an excellent example of this. Its akin to flood water management. You can't stop the flood waters from eventually making it to the ocean. That's simple physics. Its going to pass through. What you want, is to manage the flow of that water to keep it from overwhelming the flood controls you have in place. You don't want it to all come at once and overtop levees so you control the flow, slow it down, and manage it as much as possible.

Eventually most people in this country are going to get the virus. Its almost a certainty. It certainly can't be stopped. But that doesn't mean that we should all hold Coronva Virus Parties to get it over with. Letting the disease run rampant and spread as fast as possible is going to mean that our healthcare system will be overwhelmed and that 0.7 fatality rate will be much higher. That rate isn't some static number that is a law that can't be changed. Its dependent on the care available. Simple bacterial infections don't kill people in this country because we have antibiotics. Suppose we didn't, do the same mortality rates apply? Of course not. The mortality rate in SK is low because they have a much better healthcare system than we do and because they're controlling the spread amazingly well. Downplaying a .7% mortality rate is pretty insane as well but what do you expect from certain people.

The good thing for the US is that we can see what they're doing and put it into play. The bad thing for the US is that there's zero indication that the federal government is interested in pushing social distancing. Trump literally said yesterday in his press conference that he wanted people to travel. The good thing for the US is that these situations are currently happening in places with good leadership at the state and city level that understand what a fucking clusterfuck the feds are currently and are taking it into their own hands. But this won't happen everywhere.

SXSW being cancelled looked to some like an overreaction when it happened. Lets see how many think that in 2 weeks to 1 month.

My son worked summers as a waiter and tips were the only way it made it half way worthwhile. Granted it’s a crappy, exploitative system but fact is it is what it is and not a power trip by the customer but an acknowledgement to the person waiting on you that that’s how they make their living and you’re generous enough to help. Question wasn’t directed specifically at you but everyone including those calling for equality. Do they walk the walk or just talk the talk.

The steady decrease in cases has been attributed to a variety of factors, including mass testing, improved public communications and the use of technology. Extensive testing of members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, which was linked to more than 60 per cent of the country’s cases, has been completed.

South Korean officials have shared their experiences in containing the outbreak, saying that citywide lockdowns, as imposed by China in Wuhan, where the outbreak originated, are difficult to enforce in an open society.

China also introduced strict social distancing and extensive monitoring of citizens and ensured their adherence to preventive measures with punishment and rewards, resulting in a significant drop in the number of new cases.

“Without harming the principle of a transparent and open society, we recommend a response system that blends voluntary public participation with creative applications of advanced technology,” South Korea’s Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told journalists.

Conservative angrily pins blame on ‘Captain Chaos’ Trump for making coronavirus fallout worse than it should be

In an uncompromising piece for the conservative National Review,

columnist Kevin Williamson launched a full-throated attack on President Donald Trump (https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/03/coronavirus-uncertainty-markets-donald-trump/)

for having a hand in making the coronavirus crisis even worse than it should be.

Using the economic devastation wrought by the expanding epidemic as a springboard, the columnist said

the president is in large part responsible as the country reels.

Researchers in China:

The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can linger in the air for at least 30 minutes and travel up to 4.5 metres – further than the “safe distance” advised by health authorities around the world, according to a study by a team of Chinese government epidemiologists.

The researchers also found that it can last for days on a surface where respiratory droplets land, raising the risk of transmission if unsuspecting people touch it and then rub their face.

The length of time it lasts on the surface depends on factors such as temperature and the type of surface, for example at around 37C (98F), it can survive for two to three days on glass, fabric, metal, plastic or paper.

This research is fascinating and ominous. On January 22, an infected passenger boarded a fully booked long-distance coach and settled down on the second row from the back. He stayed on the bus for four hours and the windows remained closed. Reviewing security camera footage, the researchers found the passenger did not interact with anyone else. The person next to him was not infected, but he did infect two people behind him, one person three rows ahead of him, four people who were six to seven rows ahead of him, and one person who got on the bus after the initial passenger disembarked.

Your second is that reporting on the Trump Administration's slow, disorganized response is politicization -- it's not, it's the damn truth.

And your last is that rate of infection sidelining healthcare delivery is a recent partisan talking point -- it isn't. It's happening in Italy right now. It's likely to happen here too.

It's people like you denying epidemiological probabilities and demanding that public officials and the press line up to kiss Trump's ass that's politicized, tbh.

For the government to do it is typically authoritarian CYA.

‘Sobering’ warning:

Republicans got briefing that most Americans will be exposed to coronavirus

the majority of Americans would be exposed to the virus within the next two years.

it will be vital to provide “widespread access to medical care,” as thevirus will spread rapidly through the population (http://rawstory.com/2020/03/virus-deaths-soar-in-italy-us-deploys-national-guard/).

America has been “past the point of containment” since late January and warned that America is still grossly unprepared to handle a pandemic.

case reports don’t reflect the global spread of the virus, because:

(1) diagnostic testing hasn’t been widely available; and

(2) clinicians and public health officials haven’t appreciated the speed and stealth of this outbreak,” he said.

“This has led to a dangerous sense of complacency in many places.”

but probably inaccurate

due to ignorant, sicko Trash and his clown kakistocrats not being prepared, not having tests widely available.

Germany’s extensive medical network apparently helped in early stage of coronavirus

Germany seems to have weathered the early phase of the coronavirus scare with fewer deaths than many nations, reporting

only two fatalities out of 1,457 recorded cases as of Tuesday.

Germany, a leader in the 27-nation European Union, has some built-in advantages that could help keep the mortality rate noticeably lower than many countries.

Germany has a widespread network of regional laboratories and

was able to do extensive testing for coronavirus when it became known in recent weeks.

It has one of the most expensive and extensive public healthcare systems in the world with

national healthcare insurance for everyone.

Germany also is considered to have one of the world’s highest concentrations of hospitals — 1,900 for a population of 82 million.

And workers, who traditionally see high levels of job security in the country, tend to stay home when they notice symptoms of an illness.
