I guess signing up as a blood and plasma donor would get yourself a free CV19 test if you were not sure whether you had already had it or not.
How can they be sure they are not transfering the live virus?

4.4 million Americans filed for unemployment last week
About 4.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, raising the total number of workers who have lost their jobs since the coronavirus outbreak to more than 26 million. The fallout has left roughly 1 in 6 workers without a job, a number that dwarfs the Great Recession's impact on the U.S. labor market.

ER doctor shares what he learned at a New York hospital

He shared what he learned in a New York Times op-ed and told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King that people could potentially detect coronavirus earlier by checking their oxygen levels at home with pulse oximeters.

A surge of supplies and staff will be sent to nursing homes in NYC, mayor says
[...]
De Blasio said the city already sends almost 10 million pieces of personal protective equipment, including N95 and surgical masks, and gowns and gloves – to 169 facilities every week. Weekly shipments will now increase by at least 50%.
The mayor also said the city has sent 210 clinical staff volunteers to 40 nursing homes and will double that amount going forward.
EU: Malaria drugs used for coronavirus could cause side effects
[...]
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have long been used to treat malaria and anti-inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to the heart problems, the two drugs can also cause side effects including liver and kidney damage, seizures, and result in low blood sugar.
"Clinical data are still very limited and inconclusive, and the beneficial effects of these medicines in COVID-19 have not been demonstrated," the EMA said. It noted that several clinical trials testing the drugs' effectiveness against the coronavirus are using higher than recommended doses, which it said could increase the risk of side effects including abnormal electric activity that could disrupt the heart rhythm.

Coronavirus "shouldn't be a death sentence" for inmates, film producer says

Espinoza de Piña, 26, is registered nurse who has been working on the neuro floor of SSM Health in the St. Louis, Missouri, area for three years. She mainly works with stroke and seizure patients, but since the coronavirus outbreak began she has been rotating on the isolation floor tending to COVID-19 patients.
Her health isn't her only worry. The Supreme Court is expected to decide sometime in the next few weeks — by June at the latest — whether to end the DACA program, created by the Obama administration in 2012, which allows undocumented "Dreamers" like her to study and work without the constant fear of having immigration officers turning up at their doors.

New York governor: Tests on group of New Yorkers show 13.9% have coronavirus antibodies
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said preliminary results of an antibody testing study showed 13.9% of people tested positive for antibodies.
The survey included 3,000 people in 19 counties and 40 localities. The tests came from people in grocery and big box stores. Cuomo said this was important because it came from people who were out — not people isolating at home.
"They were not people who were in their home, they were not people who were quarantined," Cuomo said.

Some people cannot give plasma. I signed up to donate plasma at work one time. Apparently my veins are not big enough to donate. Or arteries. Or whatever they plug into. They checked my arm, hand, and foot.

Care home residents account for up to half of Covid-19 deaths in Europe – WHO
More info about the reporting that half of Europe deaths are in care homes. This is a disgrace. I am wondering if this will be mirrored in the figures from the rest of the world once more is known.
Another source with some percentages.
Half of coronavirus deaths happen in care homes, data from EU suggests
" Snapshot data from varying official sources shows that in Italy, Spain, France, Ireland and Belgium between 42% and 57% of deaths from the virus have been happening in homes, according to the report by academics based at the London School of Economics (LSE).
Published official data for care homes in England and Wales are believed to significantly underestimate deaths in the sector, with the Office for National Statistics only recording 20 coronavirus-related deaths in all care homes in the week ending 27 March. New figures are due out on Tuesday, but are unlikely to be up to date."
"In its first review of early international evidence, researchers from the International Long Term Care Policy Network (LTCPN) found the most robust data was available in Ireland where, as of Saturday, 54% of deaths from coronavirus occurred in care homes, according to centralised government figures.In Italy, a government survey covering deaths in 10% of the nations’ care homes suggested 45% of all deaths in that country could be in care homes, while central government data in France released at the weekend showed the same proportion of the 13,832 deaths in that country happened in care. In Belgium, health ministry figures showed 42% of Covid-19 deaths happened in care homes, and in Spain leaked regional government data suggested 57% of the country’s death toll from 8 March to 8 April was from care homes."
So my summary from the Guardian article.
Ireland 54%
Spain 57%
Italy 45%
France 45%
Belgium 42%
UK ?
Next para is AJMO.
I suspect UK figures do not include all the care home figures yet and they will be adding them on as and when the daily figures begin to drop, like today for example. This will be blamed on the delay in the reporting system. We have clearly been told several times that these are deaths from those in hospitals and we have had the ONS figures showing that very high increase on their 3 April figures so I think that is why they are not talking about easing the lockdown yet. Now if half of the deaths have been in care homes, and a big percentage has been in London, why are we all in lockdown all over the country? Matt Hancock said today that London is a few weeks ahead of the rest of the country, so is that good or bad, I am wondering?

Coronavirus: 28 deaths and 936 new cases confirmed in Ireland
(Ireland)
HEALTH OFFICIALS HAVE confirmed a further 28 deaths of patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and 936 new cases in Ireland.
This brings the total number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Ireland to 17,607, and the total number of deaths to 794.
Widespread testing at nursing homes, where a large number of clusters of infection have broken out, has been ongoing since Saturday. So far, around 18,000 people have been tested as part of this process over the last six days.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan has warned against complacency over the next two weeks, as we approach 5 May when restrictions may be slightly relaxed.
Holohan said that if he were asked to make a decision today whether they should lift restrictions on 5 May, they would be advising against lifting restrictions.
“It will take very little indeed for us to lose the good work we have done. There’s no sense in which we have achieved something here that couldn’t all be undone very quickly.”

Is this constitutional? 1st Amendment says no. And how would they enforce this? Fines? Who cares, courts are closed til who knows when. Jail sentences? Don't think so, they're letting people out left and right. May be another situation like TX and the "overreach".
