Yes , lack of free health system is big no-no when you deal with situations like this. So i think Europe will recover while in US it will take ages till they recover.

Look into the excess deaths per country for a better handle on what's happening.

Who knew.

What health system ? :1orglaugh refrigerator trucks parked in NY to hold the bodies.... and Trump wants to have a mass "Easter hug". Just like Boris in UK could not care less, but just announced that Boris and his health minister have "the pox". If it was not so serious it would be funny :2 cents:

Not to pile on my friend but these are basically pre-belle epoque stereotypes that have no truth today. Italians are quite sartorial and hygienic, and both dress and smell much better than American men. Their IQ is also higher, if you believe scientific studies of such things. In general Europeans hold themselves to a higher standard in matters of personal presentation.

Note that I am a proud American, but the above is the simple truth.

Social media sites that warned of Coronavirus.

Twitter gets an A - I saw videos of people collapsed in the street in Wuhan. And empty shelves in Italy.

Reddit gets at F - I kept checking the site when Wuhan was getting hit hard. "The Front Page of the Internet" had nothing of value.

You could buy one of these rapid tests online and test whether you had it. It takes a drop of blood, 15 minutes and you know with very high certainty (95%+) whether you had it because it can detect antibodies in your blood. They cost around 10 EUR per piece, but it might take some time to receive it. But it will give you some peace of mind that you're safe and not able to infect others in the coming years.

They are bombarded with orders now so it wont make difference.

Health Canada halts sales of Alberta company's COVID-19 'rapid test kit'
 

https://i.postimg.cc/bvJhZmqt/Untitled.jpg

A medical testing company is now being told by Health Canada to stop selling a COVID-19 rapid test kit and take the product off its website.

CTV News Edmonton reporter earlier this week that SBL Testing Technology's test kit, intended for use by companies to supplement existing screening measures, was FDA-approved and seeking Class 3 medical device licensing from Health Canada.

In a written response Friday, Health Canada said "this product is not authorized for sale in Canada.

"The department will continue to follow up to confirm that the company has stopped selling and advertising the product and will consider further actions if needed."

CTV News reached back out to SBL's managing director by phone Friday.

The company declined comment at this time, though the test kit remained on its website as of Friday at 5:45 p.m.

SBL said its testing was different than standard methods, which test directly for COVID-19.

It said the kit detected two antibodies specifically produced to fight the virus five to seven days after symptoms first appeared, claiming it was more than 97 per cent accurate.

Those with COVID-19 symptoms will be barred from domestic flights, intercity trains: Trudeau
 

Anyone showing symptoms of the novel coronavirus will now be banned from boarding domestic flights and intercity passenger trains, the prime minister announced at a press conference Saturday.

Speaking from outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that the federal government has now formalized its updated rules for domestic travel across Canada.

“As of Monday at noon, people showing any signs whatsoever of COVID-19 will be denied boarding at all domestic flights and intercity passenger trains.”

His announcement came during an update on Canada’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday Trudeau announced the federal wage subsidy for small and medium-sized businesses affected by the COVID-19 outbreak would be jumping up to 75 per cent. Trudeau had previously announced a 10 per cent wage subsidy, but conceded that it wasn’t enough.

“It’s becoming clear that we need to do more — much more — so we’re bringing that percentage up to 75 per cent for qualifying businesses,” Trudeau told reporters. “This means people will continue to be paid even though their employers have to slow down or stop their businesses.”


Meanwhile on Friday, Canada’s deputy chief public health officer said Canada’s fight with COVID-19 is far from over, and that it could include a second wave.

Dr. Howard Njoo said Canada is in it “for the long haul.”

“It’s definitely months. Many months,” Njoo estimated Friday as the number of novel coronavirus cases in Canada surged.

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), as of 6 p.m. ET on Friday, the total number of COVID-19 cases in Canada had topped 4,600.

The PHAC said more than 170,600 Canadians have been tested for the virus.

Global Affairs Canada (GAC) also offered an update on Friday, saying four flights repatriating citizens from Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala and El Salvador were set to arrive in Canada.

I know that man and was actually just having some fun. Maybe now is not the time for such "humor". I apologize if I offended anyone.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy, in Europe and everywhere. :)

Any tram/ subway in the rush hours at the end of the day will smell differently compare to the morning run. :1orglaugh

And thats in any Cities around the world. :2 cents:

My apologies I should have known that - it is hard not to be overly serious these days

Nope not your fault, totally mine. :) Smoking weed + isolation + endless days listening to Doom Talk led to my insensitive comments. No one is really in the mood for joking around these days. My bad, as the kids say (who are, thankfully, staying off my lawn!).

Doh! I did it again. :(

Stay safe and healthy everyone! :thumbsup

It made me laugh. I love to racism, bro.

sadly, i think the way the pandemic is rising, 100million will die by the time we get this virus under control!

Although, this isn´t the problem, the problem is the beds for the ill, not the room for the dead, well, both I suppose, but still...

maybe a billion or 2 will be ill from this virus and it could get worse! :2 cents:


idiot...

Spain has the best health care system in the world, google it...

This man is the original John wick

A 101-year-old man in Spain has been released from hospital confinement after recovering from COVID-19. This was reported by the Italian city of Rimini deputy mayor, Gloria Lisi. The old man, only identified as "Mr. P.," was admitted last week to a Rimini hospital in northeast Italy, after he was tested positive for the pandemic the world is currently suffering from.

He was released from confinement on Thursday. In addition, the mayor said, this was "truly extraordinary" and that such a recovery from a man, more than a hundred years old, would give "hope for the future." The city head also expressed how an old man has instilled in people that "even at 101 years, the future is not written."

This old man was born in 1919, the same period of the Spanish Flu, the pandemic that killed approximately 30 to 50 million people globally. He grew up between World War I and WWII and now, he turned out to be the oldest patient to recover from COVID-19 in Italy.

This was reported recently by the Italian media. Incidentally, this most recent pandemic is not new to Mr. P. As mentioned, he was born in 1919, the same period when the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic was inflicting his town. During that time, the said pandemic took an approximated number of "600,000 Italian," but he was spared.

A Century Later
After 100 years, Mr. P. would find himself confined in a hospital, seemingly, returning to where he started then. After his hospital confinement, the health workers were rather hopeless as COVID-19 would hit people more than 65 years old the hardest.

Although Lisi said, once the oldest patient started to recover fast, he turned out to be the story every person in the hospital would like to talk about. The deputy-mayor added, "Everyone saw hope for the future" of the whole world in a-hundred-and-one-year-old person's recovery.

Upon his recovery, the Spanish Flu and WWII survivor was released from the hospital. And, as Lisi strikingly explained, Mr. P's family took him home the night before, as mentioned, to teach everyone a lesson that even at more than a hundred years, the future has "yet to be written."

An Inspiring Story to Hold

It may indeed, be a struggle to hang on to hope, considering the negative news spreading from different directions. However, the story of this 101-year-old man is certainly something to behold. Mr. P's case might be among the rarest of the many, especially amidst the current pandemic.

His survival is undeniably remarkable, especially with the high rates of fatality for older people infected with COVID-19. Based on Italy's National Institute of Health's report, almost 86 percent of deaths in Italy where patients who are more than 70 years old.

Moreover, as the US, Italy, and China all had confirmed COVID-19 figures soaring around 80,000, Italy saw considerably more deaths, over 8,000 than the 1,000 deaths recorded in the US, and in China, with more than 3,000 fatalities recorded in China.

And lastly, the age distribution of the population in Italy may be one factor-this country has the second-oldest population worldwide, with 23 percent of Italian nationals who are more than 65 years old.

:thumbsup My Italian and Bosnian friends forgive you

Yeah, they're a bit hard to find and you may need to wait a few weeks or months, depending on where you live.

Actually the idea of spraying the room is not that bad. And if you still go outside, then also shoes after you come back and products you bring home.

God damn, i was hoping how it slowed down here in CZ as it was showing only 1 case during whole day, but it was only delayed report, actual number was 300 new.

I'm in New Jersey and we're on total lock-down - Our State and local police are stopping New Yorkers and telling them to self quarantine -

We're not playing any games around here especially with these F'n New Yorkers who think they can go and do whatever they want as their the ones spreading the virus -
Their own Governor has had enough of their crap too -

https://i.imgur.com/63rAMNf.jpg

DUDE - it's those fucking NEW JERSEY PEOPLE who travel to-and-from NYC every day to go to their high paying jobs that keep New Jersey from being a total shithole that brought the virus to NJ. You think any self-respecting New Yorker would voluntarily go to NEW JERSEY??? Please.

(And I am FROM NJ and still own a house there.)

Well the country is empty everywhere I drive. Going to spend the night in Louisiana. I know why it spread here so much, last time I drove thru there was a lot of red dots on my windshield from all the bugs.
I'm glad the government is looking to change our dependency on China for our drugs!

Sorry to hear that... :( I cross my fingers for all of you.

Which scares you more: Economic depression or certain demographics dying?
 

Let's get one thing clear: 1 death is 1 too many

Still, in terms of the BIG PICTURE, which scares you more: economic depression (possible multi-year recovery and tsunami effect through many areas of life) or higher chance of death of certain demographic groupings in our population?

The NYC death rate
 

I think I know why it's so high. I'm not joking now. You guys have no idea about personal hygiene. You are using the same shoes at home, you had on the street. With all shit (literally) of dogs and bums on it. You don't wash your hands and faces when you enter home. Russia has the largest border with China, but the death rate here is incomparable with yours and I really think that it's abut a personal hygiene. The things I named above are a 100% MUST for everybody in my country and not because of the virus - we always wash ourselves. Perhaps the same thing has happened with the plague epidemic and epidemic of Spanish flu. Russia was affected of course but much less than other European countries (I'd say much much less).
