Arsenal in lockdown after Mikel Arteta tests positive for coronavirus
The Arsenal head coach has tested positive for coronavirus, with the Premier League game at Brighton on Saturday called offwww.google.com
Surprised the Premier league still haven't suspended games.
Just found out that in West Virginia they are only testing you for Covid-19 if you have traveled outside of the country, like community transmission isn't even a thing. Amazing. No wonder our state is showing a big zero on the infected list.
I believe so. And the virus in those "droplets" can survive on surfaces for a decent amount of time (don't know if that means hours or what). Someone sneezes, coughs, or touches one of those droplets then touches anything else, it'll be sitting there for someone else to pick up.
It's an evolving picture that is mainly driven by increasing deaths, increasing cases confirmed by healthcare services, and post-epidemic evaluations of total population infection. Involving recovered vs dead as a metric doesn't seem that useful, but if you do still want to do that don't go for the Italian one since they are in a stage where it is super misguiding because of incubation periods and time to recover, instead keep a continuous eye on Koreas number:
South Korea COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
South Korea Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.www.worldometers.info
They are currently at 17% and that's a number I expect to keep dropping as they discharge more people as well as test further. They have a very structured approach to it and are as far into the course of epidemic as you can be outside China.
Be careful about using the numbers from Korea because they have a very specific demographic split due the cult that had the most impact in spreading the virus. More young people and more women than we see in other countries. And that drives the CFR significantly down.

On a positive note I do now actually think the US is doing a pretty good job at social distancing, without the help of any real federal or even state guidance. Offices are going remote, large events are being cancelled, schools are closing, etc.
This is all very good. I personally feel like 1000x better now that my office has turned remote.
Economically this is going to be very hard though for hourly workers.
We need paid sick leave nationally even for part time workers.
That is how you solve this and it is blatantly obvious. 2 weeks paid sick leave nation wide is the required economic stimulous.

So how does self isolation work if you have a wife and kids? Do you need to stay away from them?
I have hayfever pretty frequently but this seems to have turned into a cold. Not sure if I should self isolate.

yeah same. but I don't want to seem silly and freak out about it.
Ah, good to know. And heya Fancy, long time no see, hope things are going well dude.
Both King and Snohomish counties have about 30 new cases each. UW virology is doing 1,300 tests a day and continuing to ramp up capacity.
Ideally every person in the world would isolate themselves from every other. That's not realistic though.
I live in Columbus, Ohio, and it feels like the apocalypse. I'm so afraid. OSU just cancelled classes for the rest of the semester, a story breaks that perhaps upwards of 117,000 people in the state have it, and I'm no longer allowed to go to work for 3 weeks. Plus the grocery store felt like a doomsday with the line wrapped around the store.
COVID-19 Symptom List
Thx for the chart, very helpful! Yeah, nothing else wrong so far thankfully.
Not the most common one.
We shut down our community board game night until April. I'm sure things will be kicking up around here to where we'll have to extend that, but between sharing all the game pieces and communal supply of food and drinks, it's just asking for trouble to keep it going.
There is a lesser viral disease going on in the US now whose symptoms are sore throat (no coughing) and sometimes mild fever. My throat has been like this for 2 weeks now, and does get a bit scratchy in some evenings (no fever though). As long as you don't develop any of the common symptoms of COVID19, I would suggest you not to worry about it.
Thanks for posting.
It's unbelievably bad that schools aren't being closed.
I've been working at a store for almost 2 years now and I've never seen it this crazy. Not even the usual crazy days like Christmas eve or other holidays come any close.
I'm probably gonna end up sick at the end of this if my city doesn't quarantine, because my workplace sure as hell isn't gonna close on its own.

Nothing makes a sneeze feel better than seeing it on the "no" list.

Oh shit sorry forgot about that part. I found some on walmart of regular hand soap for a reasonable price. Ordering now.
There's three main symptoms: fever, dry caugh and shortness of breath. You shouldn't get a test unless it's really bad or you have been travelling to at risk countries/been in contact with someone you know has it. But stay at home if you feel sick, only contact a doctor if it gets worse. Too many people are clogging the lines with irrelevant symptoms and slowing things for people who really need it.
From what I have read, stay in different rooms, use your own towel, ustensiles etc. Clean door knobs and stuff regularly and be the last one to use the bathroom.

Exactly. I understand some people aren't up to date with things but after a market crash, mandatory work from home you'd think they'd read up. Communal board games at food/bar is only more risk averse than a cruise ship, concert or flight.

Yeah I'm completely convinced on the time it takes to fully recover versus the time it takes to die. A bit embarressed that I didn't see that as a variable. Very happy everyone pointed that out to me.
Looking at Korea does seem logical from the timeframe perspective. I'll keep an eye on their development.

So i should have a common cold according to that chart information.
Runny nose, sneezing, and mild fever. Good thing is, I'm feeling quite better today.

Where is this magical stash of tests on demand that wealthy/famous people in the US keep finding? Like, no, seriously, with it being so hard to get any tests yet in this country, is there some VIP number to call?
They just sent out the alert that schools here will be closed starting next Monday till April 6th here in Louisville, Ky.
Well I have another week of spring break as Omaha school districts are shut down. The district is providing packets for elementary while middle and high will have ungraded work posted online. There isn't much we can do since a lot of kids don't have a computer.
In my city, the first confirmed case was someone that was turned down for testing because he didn't meet the criteria.
I 100% agree, it just exposes how unfair and uneven the healthcare system is. The worst was Gobert mocking the situation and possibly infecting a teammate, but the dude gets tested right away.
I've just developed a fever and a had dry cough for 3-4 days. Fatigue and diarrhea have also been a problem the last couple of days. I've also had shortness of breath but I think that was hayfever or possibly even anxiety.
Anyway I'm in the UK so I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do at this point? I can't rock up to the hospital, but I also can't call the NHS? Really hope this is just the flu but I've never had it and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I'm supposed to go to a book convention mid April in Atlanta that is estimated to be at least 800 people minimum. Wife has been planning it for a year and is super excited cause she's been before and I was going this year. Now I'm getting nervous...
It's not happening, accept it now. I'm sorry but this will not blow over by next month.
