Chinese Wuhan Virus Thread

Left to be seen if his base still remains intact if ppl start dying in large nos, the lockdown is indefinite, the economy & the stock market goes into a tailspin & there are massive job losses. There's something known as a negative vote. More associated with anti incumbency .That may well help Biden.

Maybe, but Biden comes off as increasingly senile (the deterioration is evident from just last year...but especially compared to years ago) to huge number of voters. Not a crisis-suitable president....it will show up for sure in the debates when Trump can engage him directly...and likely you will see it materialise in the bookie odds after it (likely far more accurate than MSM polling).

I mean one thing Hillary had going for her was her wits/faculties....yet Trump still trounced her in those debates.

As for extended lockdown+contraction, I find that very unlikely...given even the Fed knows it limits (the public debt has already eroded huge amount of that in the last cpl decades). They are going all out for a cpl weeks now...maybe a month at most....to reduce the impact on the health care capacity. After that it will have to be a compromise system balanced with economic needs. But let us see.

The EpiShuttle Incubator bio-containment unit has become the main transport method for infected persons around the country. I used to serve with the unit that operates these Sea Kings, the 330 SAR Squadron. When sh*t hits the fan we were always the first called to help our country. The nation has no finer nurses and doctors.

It's from their guidance that helped me on the trajectory I'm on now. From medic to combat rescue, and no on into the civilian world, the 330 Squadron gave me my start in life.

India is now completely isolated from the rest of the world.

And almost the entire country is now in lockdown. 548 districts out of 733.

I think most of the country is under Sec 144, whereas Punjab is under curfew.

Uttar Pradesh, Odhisa, Lakshadweep and Madhya Pradesh are under partial lockdown.

Only Sikkim and Mizoram are yet to announce any form of restriction.

Maharashtra isn't under a curfew only Punjab is. Maharashtra is under a lockdown with Section 144 imposed
 
How about the prophylactic use of hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine in highly malarial areas and Ritonavir in HIV prone areas partially accounting for the slow spread of Covid-19 in South east Asia and Africa. Both are cheap, mass produced and used drugs.

Please don't do it. First choloroquine alone is not enough. Chloroquine + Azithromycin seems to be effective. That said, from what I have read, that combination can possibly cause arrhythmia and sudden death. Always take medicine under medical supervision.

It's stupid to use either outside of a clinical setting as both drugs are oral, dependent on metrics like patient age, weight and health, and it be effective, need to be used repeatedly, which can have downsides or consequences. Dizziness and diarrhea are common side effects, and in dehydrated patients, which are also common symptoms in ill persons, can be detrimental or fatal. In the healthy dehydration lowers immuno-efficiency making infection more likely. Also when used as a blanket drug it ignores that either is very dangerous to persons with common problems like diabetes or alcoholism. In persons with heart issues like arrhythmia or dilated cardiomyopathy these drugs can cause cardiac arrest. Unless there is access to quality healthcare and sanitation education and infrastructure in these areas it's futile no matter how low the cost of the drug or how many units can be produced.

Always, always should prescription drugs be taken under the supervision and guidance or a qualified professional. They should not be issued enmass.

Hand washing, 20 seconds with soap and warm water, is sufficient to kill Coronaviruses as their lipid shell is extremely vulnerable to being stripped away or degraded. Getting people to buy into this basic sanitation practice, alongside not touching their face, would prevent a number of cases world-wide. Basic sanitation goes a long way, but unfortunately, like common sense, sanitation isn't too common world wide.

Im not taking these, im only suggesting that these drugs may be responsible for curtailing the spread in african countries.

Advisory from ICMR, says Hydroxycholoquine to health personnel alone...along with caution it should not create false security.

I am not able to see the message..
Says sorry page does not exist.

Guess the tweet was deleted. It showed the chest xray of an 18 yr old boy with minimal particulate matter in his chest & within less than 8 hours the entire chest was filled with fluid.

Seems like cytokine storm. I could be wrong. This massive immune response can happen in young people with strong immune system. It was responsible for massive amount of deaths in 1918 flu. It is rare in covid-19.
