Some in Wuhan Told to Go Back to Work as New Coronavirus Cases Subside in China

Australia is reporting they are sending Muslims from the camps to work - when they are not harvesting organs while they are alive to help the Chinese.

Wow. You really must hate how well China handled this crisis. At least compared to the US. We are a joke compared to them.

Raheem Kassam took the test 4 days ago at Georgetown Hospital. CDC still hasn't processed it yet, say perhaps by Tuesday (there's your logjam)

When he asked if he should self-isolate still the response was 'nah, you're probably OK' He plans to BTW, he was asking the question for we, the people.

Appalling.

Remember the New Rochelle lawyer that worked near Grand Central in Manhattan? And a lot of cases were linked to him as he went about his life unaware he had it, including attending a function at a synagogue? His family tested positive as his neighbor, the neighbor's family, and a whole lot of others? He's only 50 years old, so not old at all, and he's in a medically induced coma. Holy crap that's scary. I actually know someone who was put in one, and that's pretty last resort. The person I knew passed away within a week of hospitalization.

That's what you want to believe. But no, this is not as mild as people think. Most likely you had a cold or flu.

Correct. Remember that when they say “mild” they are including Pneumonia that does not require a respirator. In layman’s terms, there is nothing “mild” about pneumonia.

I'm the OP and still have a cough and can hear wheezing when I breath. Ever heard of walking pneumonia?

Dr. Bruce Aylward, of the W.H.O., In the interview with NY Times stated

Q: What were mild, severe and critical?

A: No. “Mild” was a positive test, fever, cough - maybe even pneumonia.

During infection, the virus that causes COVID-19 attacks cells within the respiratory tract, particularly the lungs. As these cells die, they fill the airway with fluids and debris while the virus continues to replicate — making it hard to breathe.

The presence of dying cells and a replicating virus spark the immune system to react to the infectious intruder. Immune cells then flood the lungs to repair damaged tissues and wipe out the virus. While the immune response to the virus is generally highly controlled, it can sometimes go berserk and cause its own damage to healthy cells as well as dying ones. A flood of signals from the immune system, called a cytokine storm, can damage the lungs and cause respiratory failure, and can also harm other organs, leading to multiorgan failure.

...besides confirmed damage to lungs and immune system, kidney, liver, gallbladder, brain matter, cardiovascular system, spleen, etc ... wait for it.... there is more!!!
Just posted on another thread: recently discovered damage to central nervous system: in China they found virus in the cerebrospinal fluid of a male patient- he recovered, not sure about sequela
And we still do not know all about the possible long term damage.

Can a person be exposed, essentially catch the virus but never know it and show no symptoms?

Most of them have Twitter feeds, and they have a lot of helpful information.

This happened with Spanish flu. The book/movie Awakenings was about people with neurological defects belatedly caused by that. And I have a family member who died of it about 15 years after the flu. (Not sure how long the symptoms took to show up but he was totally disabled for years prior to death).

France closes down all restaurants, cafes, theaters and nonessential shops. This follows a similar move today by Spain.

The king and queen of Norway are in quarantine. They say they are not showing symptoms, but Norway has the second highest per capita rate of infection, after Italy.

I’d say we are one week away from this.

I'd say we should've done it last week.

No, the great outdoors where I'm not breathing other people's droplets is fine. Lots of dog walking.
