ebean001 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 by the way, it is still flu season in USA. That means 220/day die from the flu or pneumonia caused by the flu. that is 80,000/yr. that is USA only. the rest of the world have cloudy numbers. i think around 400,000/yr. So what is my point...world health care is not as great as it should be based on the multiple trillion$$ spent on it. it seems that God has locked away the solutions. The doctors need a breakthrough. And while your at it, what can you do about my bad back other than another pill...555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazbodner Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Apparently those with blood group A are 60+% more affected by COVID compared to blood group O, which seems to be less affected. But more studies are required.

It could be probable there are many more. Get used to it. They'll need someone to blame when they can't pay for those pick-ups, big bikes and other poor financial decisions their third-rate educational system has allowed them to make on their low salaries. I'm afraid their government has decided that's us and not the Chinese who are really to blame. in psychology it called transference. they welcomed the Chinese with open arms which turned out to be a Trojan Horse. the government continued to keep the door open to the Chinese even after the fact in the interest of money.

But unfortunately when public perception is driven by media extracting news worthiness from simple official numbers there is not a lot can be done unfortunately. Interestingly.. yesterday I went to a shopping mall. I made two trips in. First time in I wore a mask. I have noticed that when people are wearing a mask they are more likely to be observed by others a little longer and more closely than those that do not. As I observed to myself. I noted that people gave me a wider berth than usual. On my second trip in because I had forgotten an item I neglected to wear the mask. Strangely I got the more usual very cursory glance but most did not avoid proximity. The percentage of people (customers) wearing masks appeared to be less than 50%. I am still pondering the rationale in that human behaviour. I think that the rationale for that behaviour is that WHO recommends wearing masks only for people that are symptomatic. So when you see a person that wears a mask, the sensible thing is to keep your distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Surely with the ongoing chain of cases linked to the Lumpini places they should try and trace everybody who was there and quarantine them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unless its tourist arrivals and suddenly all the previous lost zeros are found and added to the end of that calculation. Some people in charge will be held to account eventually as this is running away faster than the money people are offloading their shares before the general population find out their investments have become worthless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to go and look in the mirror and confess their own shortcomings in its proliferation .. Like some of the S K returnee's who legged it instead of doing quarantine .. fr'instance ..

It is a way to not having to declare stage 3. Stage 3 most infections are from local to local. So as long as they can point enough fingers at foreigners then they dont have to go to stage 3 as long as they don't increase testing they don't have to go to stage 3 Quote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadan Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Japanese are testing Avigan Flu in Wuhan and it seems to work. Just a question of time. Other Pharma companies are working on it as well with full speed. Numbers increase but if we can isolate them early enough we won’t reach European numbers.
