Yeah, basically every country in the developed world will probably administer mass vaccines free or charge, with the possible exception if the US. That's embarrassing.

I was wondering that, my price of gear went up slightly so I assume the raws are from China. Most likely still getting stuff that was made a while ago but sooner or later someone with the virus will be handling raws. But then again by the time it goes through the process to become a oil and sterile it should not be something to worry about, at least I don't think

yep, I’ve literally held off on buying right now until they get this **** figured out. Got enough to run 6 months and some tren in case I need to go crazy mo fo on some zombies.

seriously though, if it does spread (as now looks likely) I’d definitely suggest taking test doses down to trt and dropping orals. The vast majority of deaths are from those with health conditions, weakened immune systems etc. I wouldn’t be doing anything that we know places additional burden on our immune system when this goes pandemic. Just bunker down to a cruise dose, stay healthy and **** **** up again when it’s all blown over

I agree, was about to run MSten, decided to wait.

One thing that makes this more dangerous than the flu is that it’s potentially airborne as opposed to droplet.

Droplet: (like flu)- safe zone is approximately 6 ft away from an infected person coughing/sneezing

Airborne: - virus is a smaller size, and can remain suspended in air for much longer and thus travel further as well.


Also, Covid-19 can live on surfaces up to 9 days while the flu is only about 2 days.

So yes, it’s likely more infectious and has a greater mortality rate (percentage I should say). Still, the chances of healthy individuals experiencing significant health issues from the virus appear to be very low.

I work as a respiratory therapist at a hospital. While I can’t say much, let’s just say we had our first Coronavirus threat, and it was utter chaos that was very poorly handled by the CDC- who has the authority to call all the shots case per case.

Personally, it doesn’t really scare me much, and I look forward to all the drama being over.

I think part of the problem is the Unknown’s.

for example, in the uk they are officially saying they believe’ it is droplet spread (and this only sustained close contact is deemed a high risk) and that it’s not known how long it lives on surfaces (I have seen so much conflicting info on this though).

fatality rate is definitely lower than normal flu or other variations- it’s simply the lack of a vaccine which makes it dangerous as we can’t prevent the spread easily and thus those at risk from any flu are more likely to get this one.

but yeah, if your fit and healthy this doesn’t appear to be any issue and I’m the same, looking forward to it being over with

According to WHO it doesn't seem to be airborne

Routes of transmission
COVID-19 is transmitted via droplets and fomites during close unprotected contact between an infector and infectee. Airborne spread has not been reported for COVID-19 and it is not believed to be a major driver of transmission based on available evidence.

There definitely are conflicting views on airborne vs droplet. Seems rather silly that they can’t even determine that. It is certainly being treated as an airborne threat nonetheless.

The thing is tho, it seems China has been able to get a handle on it? And is now experiencing very few new cases. It's even closed hospitals that were opened to take on patients infected with the virus bc they no longer need it for the volume of infected patients. That is a good sign to me and says that at least it's treatable and can be contained on some level.

If I have bad info then my bad, but I've seen multiple stories saying China now seems to have a handle on it.

Personally for me this seems like good news, even tho I know it's inevitably going to hit us here. Hell it's gonna hit everywhere. Thank God for my 650$/month insurance I feel like wherever I go for health care they treat me like a VIP.... "Oh sir you have the gold card insurance you may skip the line" haha IDK if it's quite like that but it does seem I get special treatment once I flash my insurance.

That would definitely be good sign! It certainly took a great deal of effort and sacrifices to get them there though..

 

[ShanghaiJoe]

Yes China have contained it now as far as I can say, possibly with the exception of Hubei province where it still seems to spread. To counter and contain the spread you need to prepare to use mask wherever you go even in your office, fever checkpoints outside your appartment block, in subways, at office entrances etc. Closure of all parks, most restaurants, gyms, cinemas etc etc. Can west to this ?? I am not so sure...

This thread came to mind on Sunday. My gym sent an email out to all the members about the virus, how they are taking more precautionary methods to assure everything is clean. They have put more hand sanitizer bottle around the gym, the cleaning crew has more hours too. Yesterday they put up signs all around the gym about "How to Properly Wash Hands". Do we really need these signs as adults?

I'm a teacher and we are getting emails about closing schools...

The chances of people getting infected worldwide are ultimately anticipated to be 60-80% of the population. The majority of whom will experience mild or even no symptoms. When it infects the tissues of the lungs, that’s when people will run into very serious health issues. Also, 2 strains (mutations) have been identified, which is likely a large part of why it is now believed that the same person can be infected more than once.

While many of us are relatively healthy individuals that are not all that threatened by Covid-19 (myself included), the CDC/government issued lockdowns and quarantines are going to become increasingly prevalent and inevitable. If the virus itself doesn’t impact the health of an individual or household directly, the efforts to slow the spread of the virus will have an immense impact on many of us regardless. Even if extreme measures may or may not seem warranted, it’s just a matter of time before they happen on a large scale.

Lets keep in mind the entire provence of Hubei still remains in an indefinite lockdown- hence the reason we are led to believe it’s slowing down or getting under control. That tends to happen though when you aren’t allowed to live your life. On top of this, the transparency of the Chinese and the reporting of new cases has been highly questionable, and not in a favorable way. Of course we all know what just happened in Italy yesterday...

I am not looking forward to the months to come, and it’s even more fun being at the forefront as a respiratory therapist. We are lucky to not have any confirmed cases in my state yet, but since I am in the loop I get to hear about the “mini quarantines” for possible infections already taking place in entire wings of nursing homes and rehab facilities that don’t even make the local news...on purpose. While many people feel that the media is overhyping things (true in some ways), there are also things we have not been told in efforts to keep panic at bay.

while I agree that we are all 'unfortunately' going to be affected by coronavirus, I am not really that concerned if I get it-and I m 61. I believe the whole thing is overhype, just another way of the government showing us they are in control of our lives.

Yes, I know you will be fine. After all, you are thebigt!

Any of us could potentially be carriers right now, particularly myself where I am in close contact with sick and/or (PUI)s persons under investigation. 20% of my fellow RTs have been exposed to (PUI)s before the patients were properly isolated and have been placed on mandatory self check without supervision status. This means they must take their own temperature and note any respiratory symptoms every 2 hours for 2 weeks. If they have any symptoms, or spike a fever of 100 degrees, they can’t come to work and are advised to not leave their house (or wherever they may be) until medically evaluated with plans on what their status should be next. All of this has already happened and we don’t even have a confirmed case in the state- let alone our hospital.

While I don’t worry about myself, my GF is immunocompromised due to being on a biologic for psoriatic arthritis. At this time, I’m obviously more likely to be an unidentified carrier than most people on a day to day basis. As a result, I’m more concerned about the possibility of infecting her without knowing that I am infected myself, as everyday I go to work there are newly identified (PUI)s that we were previously exposed to. It’s a friggin mess!

As far as i know people who are dying from this are dying basically from pneumonia caused by this darn thing, and that is no joke!

i had pneumonia in early november. It went like this.

11 am: I report to the hospital with persisting fever for more than 4 days and bad dey cough fits. Doc said i have pneumonia and it is best for me to stay in the hospital overnight. Other than fever and dry cough, i was fine.

6 pm. My spo2 dropped to 90%. I was literally suffocating while laying in my bed, hyperventilating not to pass out. They didnt have oxygen line in my room. They transported me on a wheelchair to another facility where i received intensive care. I genuinely thought i was going to die.
Within 8 hours i went from someone who just has a fever and dry cough to someone who is not able to walk and needs intensive care.

Apparently it was viral pneumonia.

I repeat...

Pneumonia is no joke!

That stuff will end if you do not receive proper and immediate medical care.

I wasnt really into prepping and stuff before but now when i saw how a young man can deteriorate within a day... i aint taking any chances. If it means that i have to relocate, so be it.

I had heard that those of us who have had pneumonia in the past, would be more susceptible to the virus' more serious effects. Do you believe that to be true from what you've learned?

 

[Ricky10]

I had heard that those of us who have had pneumonia in the past, would be more susceptible to the virus' more serious effects. Do you believe that to be true from what you've learned?

I have not come across anything that has discussed that specifically (a quick google didn’t show anything either), so this is just based on my general knowledge and what I would tell a pt unless we find out otherwise..

People who have had a prior pneumonia that was severe enough to cause a chronic lung impairment through tissue damage, would be at higher risk for more severe complications from this virus if it were to pass beyond the upper respiratory tract. If a prior pneumonia didn't affect the integrity of someone’s lung(s), there would be no reason to believe that they are at greater risk of severe illness than anyone else.
