I'm starting this thread as a side discussion of all things Corona Virus related. I understand that this is going to be discussed in almost all other topic threads but we could collect news and other items here. 

 

At work, many conferences have been cancelled.

NBA - Suspended.

NHL - About to be suspended. 

NCAA March Madness - Playing - no crowd. 

 

Political Rallies have been cancelled. 

Travel bans. 

 

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks tested positive. They're in Australia where testing is available. If they were in the US, they wouldn't have been tested.

Ahhh Dr. Bohemier - the quackiest chiropractor you'll ever meet - he convinced a fairly large following to not vaccinate their kids.  I see he's still active after retirement...

He was my chiropractor back in the early 80's. 

 

Cause and effect...

Public health officials advise five additional deaths due to COVID-19 have been reported today, including:

• a female in her 40s from the Northern health region;
• a female in her 60s from the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority;
• a male in his 60s from the Winnipeg health region;
• a female in her 80s from the Winnipeg health region and linked to the outbreak at Maples Long Term Care Home; and
• a male in his 80s from the Winnipeg health region. 

The current five-day COVID-19 test positivity rate is 11.6 per cent provincially and 12.2 per cent in Winnipeg, and 437 new cases of the virus have been identified as of 9:30 a.m. However, three cases were removed due to being out-of-province and a data correction. This brings the net new cases to 434 and the total lab-confirmed cases in Manitoba to 10,216.

Today’s data shows:

• 33 cases in the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority;
• 28 cases in the Northern health region;
• 20 cases in Prairie Mountain Health;
• 96 cases in Southern Health-Santé Sud; and
• 260 cases in the Winnipeg health region.

The data also shows:

• 6,307 active cases and 3,772 individuals who have recovered from COVID-19;
• there are 231 people in hospital with 34 people in intensive care; and
• the number of deaths due to COVID-19 is 137.

Laboratory testing numbers show 3,335 tests were completed yesterday, bringing the total number of lab tests completed since early February to 303,559. Case investigations continue and if a public health risk is identified, the public will be notified

Governor Phil Murphy to people complaining about wearing masks, " you know what is uncomfortable and annoying.................when you die".

So far, the school closure hasn't happened, so my sources were incorrect there. Although, I suspect that was the recommendation, which may have been disregarded. 

We just got a message that our school is adding a few more inservice days later this month to plan for remote learning.   

If the numbers continue then I would assume that everything goes remote in the new year after X-Mas break.

Being dead is not a problem- dying slowly and painfully is.

Yeah we got the same message for our kid who is in school. I'm guessing the same.

Same here.

Sweden's chief epidemiologist has admitted that the country is now experiencing a second wave of coronavirus despite predicting that the country's no-lockdown policy would prevent another surge.

 

Herd immunity, no lock down policies... didn't work

 

 

                                                         

cases have gone down today but now we have 15 additional deaths

I really hope they somehow control the outbreak at Maples it's in the same area as the school division I work in

With more cases popping up in more care homes the deaths will continue for a while, we need to see a decline in over all cases in the next 7-10 days, the vaccine is a long ways away and it doesn't help that the bigger stores have found loop holes to stay open
