Coronavirus COVID-19 *Global Health Emergency* #17

Is Valsartin (brand name Diovan) also among these?

They mention lisinopril (ACE inhibitor medication that prevents the formation of angiotensin, a chemical in the body that narrows blood vessels. There are several ACE inhibitor drugs available, but they only mentioned lisinopril in their study.

They also mentioned losartan which is an ARB drug that blocks the action of angiotensin, a chemical in the body that narrows blood vessels. There are several ARB drugs available, but they only mentioned losartan in the study.

8 cases of presumed coronavirus confirmed in Iowa Wow. It escalated quickly in Iowa. There was 3 as of yesterday. Now there are 5 more today. I'm guessing we will hear the other counties soon other than Pottawattamie and Johnson (yesterday). Edited-changed number.

Could it be connected by the lady who traveled back from England to Omaha, then went to 5 different health care facilities, a special Olympics basketball tournament, visited the VFW and more? We have restricted visitors to Childrens Hospital, Omaha, because she visited 2 of the Methodist hospitals (my hospital) before she landed at UNMC in the bio-containment unit. Her father and another family member are now sick also. Council Bluffs, Iowa intermingles with Omaha, Epply Air field where she flew into.

MOO

Coronavirus: Qantas slashes more flights, grounds more than half of A380 fleet

Following cuts to Japan, Hong Kong and even New Zealand on Friday, Australian airline Qantas has been forced to take even more action amid the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak.

On Tuesday, the airline announced it was altering routes to London and parking eight of their 12 A380 aircraft because of weak demand — saying it will reduce capacity overall by almost a quarter for the next six months.

Qantas announces massive flight changes

It must be a very worrying time for airline employees.

 

[KALI]

Nope, 9,000. Positive out of 60
million.
Lots of recent immigrants. Italy has been in financial distress for awhile now as well.
I honestly expect riots. Especially... If people can't get enough food.

They are too sick to riot

Random musing. I’m still on pause with the WHO PC at three minutes in and thinking about the opening sentences with use of the “P” word.

The fact that Doc T did not use this word lightly in the past, and practiced “restraint” , and upon a lot of pressure I might add, moo, makes it even more powerful and meaningful. It’s like when someone tells you they love you for the first time after you’ve been dating a while...

It’s also like this. I’ve noticed that a new trend, particularly around the “younger people”, is to say to everyone “I love you”...which is great, spread the love but here’s the thing. The way some people say it, is more like a greeting, like “see you later”, meaning they don’t really love me. It’s just a word that is being used lightly, moo.

So to me, Doc T using the “P” word is like to me when someone who really means it uses the “L” word for the first time.

It’s also like some of these “quiet people” who don’t talk much, so when they DO say something, it means even more.

Going going back in for further context.

If I am remembering correctly, I think he says something like that if this does become a pandemic, then this is the first pandemic in history that could have been contained. Very sobering. MOO.

Hi Sundog.

I can not tell you enough how much of an impact all the footage I’ve seen has had on me.

 

[Chelly]

Nope, 9,000. Positive out of 60
million.
Lots of recent immigrants. Italy has been in financial distress for awhile now as well.
I honestly expect riots. Especially... If people can't get enough food.

OK. Time will tell.

I agree. Researchers have been studying since the 1918 pandemic and I believe they know what needs to be done.

Could it be connected by the lady who traveled back from England to Omaha, then went to 5 different health care facilities, a special Olympics basketball tournament, visited the VFW and more? We have restricted visitors to Childrens Hospital, Omaha, because she visited 2 of the Methodist hospitals (my hospital) before she landed at UNMC in the bio-containment unit. Her father and another family member are now sick also. Council Bluffs, Iowa intermingles with Omaha, Epply Air field where she flew into.

Symptoms + 100.4 fever = seek care.

1,000,000 hospitals; 800,000 doctors; 250,000 critical care nurses
Already being stretched to limits.
