The number of people already infected by the mystery virus emerging in China is far greater than official figures suggest, scientists have told the BBC.
There have been 41 laboratory-confirmed cases of the new virus, but UK experts estimate the figure is closer to 1,700.

New virus in China ‘will have infected hundreds'
Up to 4,500 patients in China may have caught the same strain of coronavirus that has killed two people, scientists fear.
Health officials in Wuhan – the city at the heart of the outbreak which started in December – confirmed four new cases today, taking the total to 48.
But Imperial College London researchers say this may be the 'tip of the iceberg' after analysing flights out of the city.

The coronavirus has infected more than 1.2 million people in the U.S., and now government scientists, academic researchers and for-profit pharmaceutical firms all are scrambling for blood plasma from COVID-19 survivors in hopes of developing a range of potential treatments.

In Minnesota, a program coordinated by the Mayo Clinic has collected plasma from more than 12,000 COVID-19 survivors for transfusion into more than 7,000 gravely ill patients, the result of a massive public appeal led by government leaders and nonprofit groups like the Red Cross.

Meanwhile, for-profit companies that typically pay $50 per donation of plasma used in other lifesaving therapies (PDF) are advertising aggressively—and significantly bumping up their rates for COVID-19 donors.

In Utah, John and Melanie Haering, who contracted COVID-19 aboard the ill-fated Diamond Princess cruise ship, received gift cards worth $800 after making two donations apiece at a Takeda Pharmaceuticals BioLife Plasma Services center. BioLife runs several of the more than 800 paid-plasma collection sites in the U.S., part of an industry that produces plasma protein therapies used to treat rare, chronic conditions such as hemophilia and in medical emergencies.

“Given the urgency and importance of collecting convalescent plasma from the small population of recovered COVID-19 patients, BioLife is currently offering an added incentive for the first two donations from recovered COVID-19 patients,” Takeda spokesperson Julia Ellwanger said in an email.
COVID-19 survivors' blood plasma is a sought-after new commodity

NEGATIVE Covid 19 test! I’m not that surprised though as I haven’t run any fever since Saturday night, never really had an awful headache (just leg pain!) and no cough etc. Still told to isolate for 14 days. 11 days to go but I do feel better, for which I am thankful.

See, this is what I'm worried about with my Corona test. I still have the same symptoms after 7 days--headache, awful taste in my mouth, fatigue, gastric issues. My fever did spike again over the weekend, too. Still no cough or breathing issues but all sufferers don't have those symptoms.

And then there's this...

I've now on day 16 since the debut of my corona symptoms (fever, headache and a sore troath), and got the Covid-19 diagnosis four days later. I had fever between 38.1 to 38.4 degrees Centigrade for a week, and then between 37.5 to 37.9 for five days, until my temperature in the morning finally got close to my normal 36.5 degrees Centigrade, but it still gets up to 37.0 to 37.2 in the afternoons. It's not that much, but it takes time for the fever to go away.
I've also had a mild headache for the last two weeks, and taking paracetamol haven't helped. It's been more like having a hand pressed to my temples and brow, than a real ache, irritating but not really painful.
Even if I'm now feeling much better, I still have cold symptoms (stuffy nose, sudden sneezes, and some coughing up mucus), which is the reason I'm not allowed back to work, no symptoms for two days before going back to work. One more reason why I don't feel fully capable to get back to work is the fatigue I still have, I haven't very little energy to do things, I haven't read a book, or done any needlework during these weeks, and just making something easy to eat makes me having to take a rest after. I don't remember being this fatigue after any earlier infection I've had. My symptoms have been mild, I haven't had any breathing problems, but it still takes time to get back to normal health after catching the virus.

Just FYI -- I'm pretty sure I had this mid-March'ish and it took me a full 5 weeks to feel perfectly normal. I could tell I wasn't back to normal before then because, although I didn't feel particularly ill, I didn't feel like cooking, AT ALL. Other than not being motivated, the worst was over into week 3, so you should start to feel a little more normal soon. Take care.

3 nurses who were sisters have been strangled to death in Mexico as the country's health care workers face rising abuse linked to the coronavirus

Two men were arrested for the strangling deaths of three sisters who worked in Mexico’s government hospital system, and authorities ruled out any link to nationwide assaults on medical staff as anxiety over the pandemic escalates.

Initial evidence shows the suspects, a nurse and a municipal market worker in their 20s, planned to rob the women, whose bodies were found in a house in the city of Torreón, said Miguel Ángel Riquelme, governor of the northern border state of Coahuila.

The killings had nothing to do with the sisters’ hospital work, Riquelme said late Friday.

Our church in Ohio is holding services again starting on May 17. Seating will be 6 feet apart and it's okay to wear face masks. Since face masks aren't mandatory we won't be going. It's possible we still wouldn't go this soon even if it was mandatory. They're going to try to get the service on FM radio for those more comfortable sitting in their cars in the parking lot. If they can work that out, we'll definitely go. I miss my church family. There are only 19 cases in our county so I'm afraid they think the risk is very low. I hope we don't see an escalation.
