looks different on imaging

That's pretty neat (not for the pt). I was wondering if it was something like an actual physical difference you could see on imaging or if it was just a difference in blood.

Thanks.

Yea, Ive enjoyed when stats show comparisons from like 100th case. Or could be changed to some other value that makes sense. 200th, whatever. more interesting that way

My aunt was the one from Bienville Parish that contacted Convid after having tons of other health problems as well. She just passed away.

Somethng is fishy about the French numbers you listed. Every French death is attributed to an island. No way in hell that's accurate.

Pretty sure the website is either wrong or you are reading it incorrectly. Googling french Polynesia brings up articles from a couple of hours ago stating that they have 23 cases there currently.

Yeah - someone probably messed up when they were updating the French number as mainland France doesn't show any cases and we know that's not true.

How the Covid-19 recession could become a depression

But this is not 2008, when the economy was intact but the credit markets were frozen. The real economy is in shambles. Millions of workers are being forced to shelter in place, and the factories and machines they operate are lying quiet. We are losing the use of land and knowledge, because the clusters of human beings necessary to build on them could spread a deadly disease.

As Jason Furman, who served as deputy director of the National Economic Council during the financial crisis, put it to me, this isn’t a financial crisis, where if you can stop the panic, you can unfreeze the economy. “Here, there’s a deadly germ out there and you don’t want to go near it for your sake and your community’s sake. There’s only one equilibrium: It’s economic inactivity until the danger passes.”

“We’re about to see dizzying decline in economic activity,” says Zandi, the Moody’s economist. “There’s no analogue to it in the modern era.” It’s a shocking statement, coming barely a decade after a global financial crisis that was, supposedly, our generation’s great economic flood. But Zandi thinks what’s coming now may prove much worse.

On Friday, Goldman Sachs projected gross domestic product (or GDP, a measure of the size of the economy) would fall at a 24 percent rate in the second quarter of the year. If you’re used to looking at GDP numbers, I don’t know how to convey how startling that forecast is. “A decline of this magnitude would be nearly two-and-a-half times the size of the largest quarterly decline in the history of the modern GDP statistics,” they write.

The nightmare scenario is that the virus isn’t under control by the summer, and extreme social distancing measures are needed throughout the year — which many public health experts consider likely. Then, Zandi said, the ground could collapse underneath the economy.

This insanity of shutting down the world needs to be ended yesterday.

How are cases/deaths reported? Is it deaths from midnight to midnight or just from the time since the previous reporting time?

Also were any tested after dying?

Collin County's death was tested after he passed away in hospital already (had other issues that he might have been in hospital for originally & was sick for awhile but was never part of numbers while living only day after he passed away).

Or even some errors depending on site.
Earlier today I saw Middlesex, NJ pop up with 63 deaths on Hopkins's site. I had an older tab still open with earlier numbers from morning showing they had 0 deaths but by around 2pm afternoon 63 new cases added and 63 deaths added. I checked again when responding here and after refreshing it still said the same. But I double checked to get get total cases and refreshed a 2nd time, but then the 63 added cases were no longer listed as 63 deaths. So for several hours they had 63 deaths listed in John Hopkins tracker, but it must have been a mistake.

It did make me wonder if any samples from previous deaths are going to be tested once demand for tests levels out in areas.

In hindsight do you wish you had used Hydroxychloroquine with an antibiotic like Zithromax?

Are you putting him on an antibiotic now?

This is the scary part to me. I am old enough to where I was in the workforce during that downturn and it was absolutely brutal. I got through relatively financially intact, because I was young enough that I didn't have too much invested but still had to scrape by and wonder when my company would shutter. I didn't have a mortgage or kids or any responsibility really other than paying rent and utilities. 12 years later, and it's a completely different story as I have 2 other people that depend on me and my ability to provide for them. The stakes are much higher this time around for me.

Then every store shuts down and nobody can come out there house for 6 weeks
