Just last night at midnight EST, the number of COVID-19 cases were 245,749, and the total number of deaths was 10,005. Today, right now at 5PM EST, the number of cases is 272,683. And the total of deaths is 11,305. That is insane. Btw, this it the total number worldwide. If this rate of increase stays consistent, within 2 weeks or so the total number of those infected can easily surpass 1 million.

Please please PLEASE stay at home unless leaving is absolutely necessary. Meaning work or emergencies like groceries or hospital. And be precautious when going to stores. Wipe down buggies, and use hand sanitizer before and after leaving. If you’re lucky enough like myself to have an N95 respirator, I’d say where it in public. Just BE SAFE people!

Some newer info I read today but take with a grain of salt 2 of them. First was some doctors believe you're immune to it once you get it and obviously survive it, like chicken pox however I also read one case where supposedly one guy got it recovered and got it again. Not sure how true either is though.

The other thing is an article I came across theorizing that type O blood types fight it off better than type A, B types. Again. Though this is not proven, just what some.docs believe.

Lastly, the one that goes have proof of working is people who've recovered doctors are saying who've tested it are taking blood from these people, extracting the plasma in their blood and giving it to the sick people are helping them recovery because of the antibodies within the plasma.

That sounds good at least.

We know based on serologic tests if you get this current virus, after a couple weeks without symptoms you're basically immune and non contagious. You can be going out be around anyone, work, continue the economy.

The issue is, once the majority have that immunity, that's when there's a driving force for it to mutate.
That's how the 1918 pandemic came in waves.

Yeah, however that's also because it's something new and took the world literally off guard. As time goes on we will learn more and more and till we find a cure or vaccine, we have found as in the USA at least, some ways to help fight it, recover and improve their condition. They've also confirmed that kids and younger adults from 18 to 40 probably even to 50 often survive and some mild or no symptoms even but are carriers within that 2 week period like you mentioned. The docs seem alot more concerned from a surviving perspective with older people 60 plus and even more so I'd you're elderly with compromised health issues of course.

With the self quarantined thing for everyone, seems this news keeps changing as far how much longer will that take. I'm hearing rumors now they may keep this rule into effect till July now...it's almost as if this virus is literally not just killing some people, jobs, life, going out etc but also this year indefinitely...the longer this thing lasts as in quarantine the higher the chance people will start losing their minds literally...let's hope these smart doctors and scientists figure something out fast.

Only issue is that a vaccine for public/mass release will take quite a long time. Like, LATE 2021 at the EARLIEST. Because so much goes into making a vaccine. I won’t get into all the specifics, as that would make this post extremely long and hard to understand, so please just research that part of it on your own. Which I definitely recommend you do. Anyway, even with everything that is required to even make a legitimate vaccine, each time one is made, it undergoes extensive testing in order to determine its effectiveness and also its safeness for consumption. How safe is this vaccine in the short term for human consumption, and how safe is it long term for human consumption. And even if they are able to determine long term effects, it will only really be up until the time they have tested. The rest would be scientific estimations.

But, let’s say they got all of that finished and a vaccine ready to go. It could take up to 22 months before that very vaccine is distributed to the world for actual use.

Main point, do not expect a vaccine any time soon.


Not trying to cause anxiety or a panic, but people need to know the facts in relation to all of this. This is why I’ve been doing so much research surrounding COVID19. I urge all of you to do the same. Hell, we don’t have much else to do anyway. Why not educate yourself on these subjects?

Trust the Americans to turn this corona thread into a trump thread. Nobody cares.

This is chinas fault. Specialists in this stuff have been predicting this exact thing because of Chinese wetmarkets for years.
We also had a team that was formed following the 2014 Ebola crisis (NSC pandemic unit) dedicated to handling this exact kind of thing, until somebody fired them all two years ago. Doesn't matter who did it, I'd be pointing out that mistake regardless of political affiliation.

Of course and I have, im very much aware my friend is a nurse and I have a few relatives who are or have been doctors. I know the full vaccine takes time has to go thru testing, cultures, lab tests etc all that.
Alot of that post is me just saying let's hope they can move as fast as possible.

I'm just saying they should also be working on things that help in the meantime so that you know the media in general stops scaring people into thinking "omg you go out you get infected and die and if you don't you'll infect older folks and they will die doom and gloom"

I get the medical aspect takes time but even your estimates I've heard and read via research and people in the field have untold me different things regarding a time period. First they say publically 6 months to a year, then it was 17 months. I don't think they should be giving estimates if they're not sure you know?

It's good to be smart and take care of ourselves as best as possible but at the same time people have to live, by that I mean go out for walks, good shopping since we can't survive without food, nourishment etc.

I have another friend who happens to work in writing for a paper, she told me the media writes what sells and makes people watch. And another one I have who does a lot of research into how the media works in general, they love scare tactics because leta face it, it's a business even if it's slanted or over exaggerated most of the time. Of they're not, nobody would care and people wouldn't freak out and do insane things like buy all the water and tp...

We have access to tap water, it's not like we're a third world country, and food. Our government officials regardless of party have told us there's enough food and such not to panic but people don't listen and I blame the media for that fear mongering. And on the tp there's just tons of memes on that alone to get the point it's just ridiculous.

I think from here on out with the exception of medical break throughs with this thing, I'm choosing to avoid all media because it's obvious at this point their main concern is scaring and blaming. Which neither is productive, and it actually causes people anxiety which in happen to suffer from unfortunately. It's why people are panicking buying everything....

I didn't feel well the other day end had bad anxiety so bad I needed emergency, I spoke to a few emts but did not need to go to the hospital that fully. They told me the media is highly to blame with this sure it's contagious and more vital to older folks, those with medical issues especially. But they also said it's being way over done and people are losing their shit. Know what I mean? I think majority are informed enough by now, but I also think I'll just call it negative updates from the media is not good either. It's just going to create fear and panic and as someone who has had bad anxiety issues for years I refuse to believe half the shit they say at this point, if it's a CD report different story but I'm talking MSM pretty much with their dramatic reporting...

I guess time will tell how long till we find a cure or vaccine let's just hope it's sooner than later, itll tske a while I'm sure just how long nobody knows that, but I'm glad we have other meds, methods etc some that I listed to help fight this too in the meantime that sounds promising. Always a good thing.

@Wigy youre not wrong but keep in mind this is tym, not the best source for America politics as I've learned lol.

Thats good. Be smart, protect yourself and her the same she'll be fine. My best friend just had a horrible case of the flu a month ago, which statistically speaking kills more people than CV he has bad asthma...not saying be careless, but don't let the media get to you they just like to cause fear and play the blame game anyway.

Obviously this is not the flu but it's also not unbeatable either. Other day an 85 year old survived this did you about that though? Nope. I had to do my own research because the MSM won't report positive shit only negative...to fit their narrative.

Poor Italy getting punished for having healthier people that live longer, them having the oldest population has made the death rate from coronavirus insane there.

And isnt it true that even if it doesn't kill you, you can end up with permanent respiratory damage? I have no doubt I would survive but fuck that

It depends on the person, they also say you can be immune to it once you've had it. It's still early on. One report I read was if you have empherzima you do not want to get this... it if healthy, younger and recover well shouldn't be an issue from the videos I've seen with people interviewed who've had it. I think that depends on the person individually imo from what I've read and seen about the long damage issue.

I get there's fault but there's pointing out stuff like you just did and then there's the garbage on this thread.

Nobody could have stopped this aside from China. All we could really do is prepare for the inevitable.

All I'm saying

Sorry to hear that.. But even if your loved ones didn’t, you could easily end up killing someone else who is maybe in a worse situation.

That’s why I don’t understand this “I’ll be fine, who cares unless it’s my family” attitude at all. That’s totally reckless and irresponsible. All of our actions right now have the potential to affect a lot of other people.

Hopefully everyone in your family gets through this ok.

It’s not over done — in fact it’s not enough. Tons of people still aren’t taking this seriously and it shows.

Not only is it about saving lives, but for many it’s about trying to save their livelihoods as well. The less seriously people take this and the longer this goes on, in addition to the deaths many lives and careers will be ruined.

I applaud the media for trying to get people to wake up and take precautions for what’s going on in advance. It’s the best we can do at this point. And if you had friends in Italy or another country that’s farther along than we are (I do) you’d understand.
