I'm a bit late, but glad to hear you survived your scare Dash.

Hope all is well now.

Had my first post-hospital visit to the Cardiologist today, so far everything looks good.

Thank you for your thoughts,

Kim

Ouch. You guys really know how to kick a guy when he's down. I haven't been able to wrap my head around the idea of Bacon that starts life as a bird...

That's only because you still don't believe that pigs can fly.

We seem to have a slow increase in number of patients. It's still quite low, but we're not out of the woods yet.

We keep going deeper into the woods...lol

Yeah, our numbers are nothing compared to the great 4, of which the USA is number one.

"America first!"

 

[gumbyk]

Yeah, I posted some info about Samoa's battle with the Spanish flu earlier in this thread. The ship came from New Zealand and went to Apia in Western Samoa, which was ravaged by the flu, but Jefferson is partially right as American Samoa remained Spanish flu free, thanks to the efforts of its US governor who quarantined the island and prevented New Zealand ships from visiting there.

As a contrast to what's happening today, New Zealand was largely responsible for the Spanish flu spreading throughout the Pacific and as far as South Africa following the Great War; New Zealand ships carrying infected crew and passengers transmitted the virus around the world.

I think that's part of the reason why our response was so drastic. I heard a couple of politicians say that we didn't want a repeat of that happening. That, and we had just recently exported measles there as well.

Here in Oz, we are awaiting the Second wave.
Not the surfing type.
Why people still continue to gather in groups of a hundred or more is just beyond me.

"America first!"

Actually America is 9th but unlike most other countries it is fast rising up the table (404 to 417 in two days). Ninth highest deaths per million population that is.

Or 23rd if you are counting tests per million population.

Interesting article in today's news calculating cost of home versus hotel quarantine.
Should all coronavirus patients be put into hotel quarantine? We did the maths

Not discussed is the flow on if one of the other people in the home becomes asymptomatic and goes to work.
