Coronavirus - COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #24

[Henry2326]

My position is based on statistics. How are you qualified to say otherwise?

I don't make predictions. I share opinions from the experts. And they are speaking loud and clear....

Canada,

10 new coronavirus cases in Alberta, 2 in intensive care

"The reality is that we could expect cases of Covid-19 to continue in Alberta and around Canada for months",

"On Saturday the province posted flight information online so returning travellers can see if they may have been exposed to Covid-19 on their flight."

Canadians abroad should return.

The first article says that the province of Alberta, alone, has 39 cases of COVID-19. My brother and his family live in Alberta, so will be watching this closely. Thanks for posting.

Globally 142 539 confirmed (9769 new) 5393 deaths (438 new)


with 3194 of the deaths in China and 1268 in Italy. So less than 1000 outside of China and Italy in the ENTIRE WORLD.

I wonder if the sign of peace in Catholic mass will become something of the past that another generation won’t understand the meaning of anymore than they currently understand how to dial an old fashioned phone.

off topic. but the dane cook church bit still makes me laugh after so many years. I recommend watching the clip for a quick levity break.

What is really upsetting?
It would be helpful if you quoted, what you are referring to. Personally, I'm in the dark in regards to your post.

This is really upsetting.

Well that's good, because I'm on this thread so much, I'm not getting much done!

Hopefully the manner in which our government decided to handle this works out. It appears to me they have no interest in knowing how many have Covid 19, and are concerned only to have enough tests for clusters like Life Care, NBA, etc. Ohio governor thinks Ohio is over 100k for positive cases and imo his number is far more accurate than 5 in this state, 7 in that state and so forth. The government is banking on few dying, and trying to avoid mass hospitalization. Almost every governor gives the same update.....

Good Night Friends.....hoping for a better day tomorrow. It is hard to distance yourself from the rest of the world. I have always been a very social being.
Thank heavens for websleuths....hugs, Lato

The more you overstock those supplies, the less is available for your sick neighbors, and for doctors, dentists, and emergency response personnel.

Thank you! Everyone needs toilet paper. I hope everyone enjoys their 50 rolls, I just want two.

Even when facing aisles of decimated canned goods, rice and beans I didn’t stockpile the remaining creamed corn. Not because I’m so awesome, but because I know it will soon return to normal. Please think of others. (Not referring to anyone here, of course.)

Huh I thought I hit quote but I guess it failed. It was the part about half the people in the ICU being under 50 in one country.

I'm not hypothesizing whatsoever. I'm looking strictly at the data. Less than 60 deaths in the US, the vast majority of ill elderly people. A worldwide death toll of less than 6000 people, with the vast majority confined to three countries, including china and south korea. Simple.

Well, I hope you’re right that your simple data shows conclusively over time that there is little to be concerned about. I’m sure Dr Fauci and his colleagues will want to hear from you. As I pointed out, regardless of potential deaths, no one, including you can predict anything with any certainty. But responsible and experienced scientists are obligated to advise citizens about precautions they can and should take to avoid the worst outcome and protect those “ill elderly people” some of us are or care about.

This morning I got the go-ahead to close our library for two weeks. My boss said that as soon as I got it officially done through the right channels we could go home. I convinced my co-worker to stay with me and keep our normal hours today while we called all of our regular patrons to let them know. Every single patron I called, except my favorite 90-year old, came in immediately to carry out stacks of new books. I carried books to my oldest patron’s house. In five hours, most of our regulars loaded up with about 4 weeks of books, I think (they suspect we will be closed longer).

If we are closed longer, I would like to carry books to our regular patrons. I think it could be done. I would call. They set their returned books out. I exchange them for new books. I Clorox wipe covers and put on the shelves. Does this seem safe? I do not want to bring any harm to my elderly patrons but I worry about them not having access to books, especially large print.

I lose sleep every night thinking about this.
Is there somewhere the books could be stored outside?
Just cleaning covers is not enough. Each page read could be a hazard. Cleaning the covers and putting the books in a box for later reshelving would help kill the virus, however you would have to let them sit for quite a few days, IMO. Otherwise, just leave the returned and unclean books in a box until we know how long the virus can exist on them. Do not touch.
Do not give out any books that are returned. Just offer what is currently on the shelves inside.

Not sure what happened, but I could see the post you quoted.

The people in my 'hood are SO pissed off. I was talking to the people in the grocery line behind me today and they were like "we live in a rational neighborhood, we thought there would be no problem." They are furious that people are coming to our store to "stock up."

Exponential doubling....and we are are still on the trend line. Hopefully you are correct. But as of yet there is no data that says you are. It's not simple....as well, the data is pointing to changing conditions. Both Netherlands and France are seeing 50 to 60% of critical under the age of 50. Italy reported the same phenomenon in the past week. I nor do the experts believe that we saw good good data in the early days of China. Good night....
