Coronavirus Thread

[ThomasP]

Minnesota report, April 18
cases 2,213, recovered 1,118, hospitalized 561, deaths 121, tested 44,368*
fatality rate 5.5%
mortality rate 21.2 per million
tests rate 7.8 per thousand*
*Test kits are still in short supply, however, the number is increasing dramatically. At the current time, processing capacity of the test kits is as much of a problem as supply of test kits. Tests are currently being used only for suspected COVID-19 cases and first responder/healthcare/medical personnel.

Talked to my wife's cousin yesterday. She is working with people with Alzheimer. Last few weeks have been crazy. All staff is ill with corona apart from her and one colleague so she is taking care of 15 patients on her own. 5 out of the 15 already died from corona, only 2 patients have tested negative. Patients pull out their oxygen and refuse to drink. She expects others to die soon as well. This has been going on for the last few weeks so she's quite exhausted at the moment.

I'm sure that Chris has heard/seen this news item: Greene County Missouri (Springfield, 3rd largest City, is located here) Apr. 17, demonstrating his social consciousness and knowledge of current news, a Greene County man ill with classic Corona-19 symptoms decided that he really need to go to work, his fever and cough not withstanding. Naturally, as a result, he potentially infected SIXTY-FIVE (65) of his co-workers 13 of which have already tested positive for Corona and the remainder are quarantined for 14 days.

Well, that seems to be one common thread.
Politicians: "We've got plenty of PPE!"
Healthcare workers: "We're having to re-use disposable PPE!"

Here, the day after the PM announced that we had good stocks of masks/gowns, etc they announced that they had used private companies contacts and supply chain to purchase millions more, so that they could by-pass normal bureaucracy.

Dont think for one minute our government has got everything correct but a bit of balanced reporting would be nice !

I hope her cousin can weather the storm she is going through. Our thoughts are with her.

Sorry Tommo, it was live tv

Okay.
Our public TV also has it's moments - like how they annonounced that 'Tonight is the earthquake' in some city, instead of 'Last night there was an earthquake'. Or, 'statisticians will asses the damage buildings susuatined from the 'quake', thus replacing the people that deal with statics (= engineers) with people that do statistics (= economists).
All in 10 minutes.
