It's fucking absurd. Madrid is in lock-down yet we allow flights from there into the country, it beggers belief!!

One word : money
They talk a lot but do nothing , makes you think they don’t give a fuck if a few thousand of the great unwashed die

Just got this sent to me from a mate. I can't verify it but there would appear at least to be some good advice in here. To me, it does sound plausible but i'm not medically trained. I was in two minds whether to post it but feel it may have some advice that can help people at the very least.

From a member of the Stanford Hospital Board. This is their feedback for now on COVID-19.

The new Coronavirus may not show signs of infection for many days. How can one know if he/ she is infected? By the time they have fever and/or a cough and go to the hospital, the lung is usually 50% infected Fibrosis which is extremely concerning.

Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning. Take a deep breath and hold your your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicates no infection.

Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth and throat are moist, never dry. Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why? Even if the virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or liquids will wash them down your throat and into the stomach. Once there, your stomach acid will kill all of the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe and into the lungs. This is very dangerous.

1. If you have a runny nose and sputumm, you have a common cold.
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with anti-bacterial soap.
6. On fabric, it can survive for 6-12 hours Normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasis enough - drink plenty of water!

The Symptoms (for worst case scenarious)

1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days.
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative that you seek immediate attention.

Thanks for sharing, appears to be some actual practical advice and info!

My breathing gone heavy through the night and woke up with a tight chest! Can’t take any chances with my asthma. Going to try and get tested today.

And the games off.

oh god really?! What have you been up to you dirty bugger?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Good time to remind people of the symptoms and other advice

If it feels like a cold then it probably is just a cold,runny,stuffed up nose for example

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.

I'll keep an eye out for that one then. If I get it, I'll be sure to phone in sick.

He's a weapon alright. I wonder who he will start a war with once his approval ratings look beyond repair?

Wont be long, the yanks love a good war every 5 years or so. He wont want to go down in history as the only president to not bomb somewhere new.
