CoronaBro Meltdown/SARS-Covid-19 Spitballing Thread

[Cire]

last parent got to go home from the hospital yesterday after two full months in, most in Covid ICU. still on a lot of oxygen and may always be strapped to a tank unfortunately. very grateful to be where we are though. we were 99% sure we were losing them on two separate occasions. parents are 64 and 66 with no co-morbidities and otherwise healthy. it's a very scary disease.

Happy to hear this SD, sorry that you've all had to go through it.  Terrified for my parents

That's awesome to hear! are there any breathing treatments for sars or is it just retaining current functionality and easing symptoms at this point?

Did not read the article but I’m wondering what sort of increase in mental illness diagnoses we’d see in the non-infected population following lock down stuff.

This is great to hear. My evidence is all anecdotal but it seems like we’ve gotten drastically better at treating this stuff.

Cases rising here but reopenings are scaling back before they get really bad. I'm so mad bars and indoor dining has been going on before any public school has opened

I know simpletons have a hard time with this. But Russia does have some very good scientists.  I believe I shared an article or two on this, but they’ve been working on SARS/MERS vaccines for years.

Just tried to go to a coffee shop in MHK and it was closed for quar. Glad they are taking precautions, but yikes.

Imagine any dumbass suggesting this would go away after the election. My facebook feed from western kansas was full of that.

Their population is incredibly fat and loves cigs so they kind of had to.  But good luck my russian bros with sputnik.  I remember how the last sputnik went.

Radio silence.

My town's high school is switching to remote learning starting today and going through Thanksgiving break.  Will not be surprised if it stays remote for the rest of the school year.

Contact tracing apps. Another thing the feds should have led versus telling each state to do their own. I believe super smart Phil said this a few months ago.

They're useless even at the federal level in the US, but especially useless on a state-by-state basis where there's no travel restrictions outside of Hawaii and maybe Alaska

Tell me more. Why US specifically?

Maybe they were never going to do anything but having 50 of them was never going to work.
