The recovery cases haven’t as I’ve been tracking them for a couple of weeks. The deaths one, unfortunately is.
I hope they just haven’t been releasing them

Ah ok. I too think that’s the most important stat to look at right now even though the figure is (hopefully) way out from how it will look in a few weeks. I guess people probably take longer to recover than to die.

Indeed.
Some people have been as long as fives weeks on recovery.
Patient 1 in Italy took four weeks, and he was a fit man in his 30s

Yes absolutely tragic. Portugal had the dubious record of the youngest casualty before this poor lad passed away with a 14 year old boy from Porto on Sunday.

Hasn’t a baby died in the UK?

My sister in law lives in Porto. They were doing ok in Portugal until a few days ago but they’ve been on the rise a little bit. Hopefully the lock down will keep the numbers relatively low.
 
Globas Health Security Index - Building Collective Action and Accountability October 2019

As co-leaders of the Global Health Security (GHS) Index, we are indebted to an experienced, knowl-edgeable, and deeply committed team that helped develop this groundbreaking index.

Biological threats—natural, intentional, or accidental—in any country can pose risks to global health, international security, and the worldwide economy. Because infectious diseases know no borders, all countries must prioritize and exercise the capabilities required to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to public health emergencies. Every country also must be transparent about its capabilities to assure neighbors it can stop an outbreak from becoming an international catastrophe. In turn, global leaders and international organizations bear a collective responsibility for develop-ing and maintaining robust global capability to counter infectious disease threats. This capability includes ensur-ing that financing is available to fill gaps in epidemic and pandemic preparedness. These steps will save lives and achieve a safer and more secure world.

he Global Health Security (GHS) Index is the first compre-hensive assessment and benchmarking of health security and related capabilities across the 195 countries that make up the States Parties1 to the International Health Regu-lations (IHR [2005]).2 The GHS Index is a project of the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHU) and was developed with The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). These organizations believe that, over time, the GHS Index will spur measur-able changes in national health security and improve international capability to address one of the world’s most omnipresent risks: infectious disease outbreaks that can lead to international epidemics and pandemics. The GHS Index is intended to be a key resource in the face of increasing risks of high-consequence3 and globally catastrophic4 biological events and in light of major gaps in international financing for preparedness. These risks are magnified by a rapidly changing and interconnected world; increasing political instability; urbanization; climate change; and rapid technology advances that make it easier, cheaper, and faster to create and engineer pathogens.

TRAGIC FAREWELL
Six kids forced to say goodbye to their mom using a walkie-talkie as she died from coronavirus

A MOM-of-six who beat breast cancer but died of coronavirus was reportedly forced to say her goodbyes to her children using a walkie-talkie.

Sundee Rutter, 42, died of of COVID-19 on March 16, and her final words were spoken to her kids using a receiver propped against her pillow, BuzzFeed News reported.
All six of single mom Sundee's children, as well as her sister and mother, said goodbye via the device from outside of the hospital room, according to the report.

Speaking to BuzzFeed, Elijah Ross-Rutter, Sundee's fourth-oldest child, said: "I told her I love her... She shouldn’t worry about the kids.”

Sundee initially complained of feeling unwell on March 3, after previously recovering from breast cancer surgery.

According to Sundee's best friend, Jessica Harris, "doctor's told her she didn't have it and she went and self-quarantined herself at home for four days."
However, the mom – who previously lost her husband in 2012 and leaves her six children, ages 13 to 24, orphaned – started having difficulty breathing and was admitted to a Providence Regional Medical Center in Washington on March 7.

After one week of fighting the virus, she passed away.

Speaking of his family's time in the hospital, Elijah Ross-Rutter, 20, said he was, at first, allowed to see his mother with a face mask on, but as time went by, the mom-of-six was completely isolated.

Elijah said: “She thought she had the flu, probably.

“But like, the coronavirus? It was kind of hard for us to understand how she could get it because not that many people had it around here.”

Sundee was admitted, there were 27 reported cases and nine deaths in the state.

As of Monday, more than 4,300 cases had been reported in Washington State, as well as 195 deaths.

After Sundee returned to the hospital, her son was confined to the visitors waiting area while she was examined, according to reports.

Elijah and the family were then reportedly told that doctors were keeping their mother in overnight to be treated for pneumonia.

The next day, Ross-Rutter said, his mother tested positive for COVID-19.

He added that his mother would previously send texts, but, over time, those messages were just emoji-only responses.

On March 16, doctors called to tell the family that Sundee, described as a "supermom,"




Speaking of the restrictions in seeing his mother in her final days and hours, Elijah said, "Like, I’m about to lose my best friend and she can’t even hear me."

Since Rutter passed, a fundraising campaign in her name has raised more than $275,000.

Sundee's oldest child, 24-year-old Tyree Rutter, said he plans to use the money to secure housing for he and his younger siblings.
