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. 

Well, Manitoba has its share of fundamentalist nuts, but the climate in Florida is warmer.

This is so sad and heart wrenching and anger inducing...

Well it was in June. Still like everything MAGA it ages well.

Too bad nurses can't go 'click'. 

We will know by December 1st how devastated or hopeful  we can be. We are getting closer and closer to a f;ashpoint.

No progress at all. Holding steady in infections means really losing ground.

Agreed, but it is going to be at least a week before we see a significant improvement.

We won't see the rate come down before the weekend. Expect a significant drop in the test positivity rate early next week if these measures are working. 

Apparently one positive case had 85 close contacts. C'mon man...

was that in Winnipeg or in Steinbach

The muted outrage from the premier would a helluva more effective if the Steinbach MLA and MP stood up on their hind legs and vigorously condemned the gathering, leaders therof and the thinking behind it. The organizers should be charged with the indicable offence of conspiracy to commit negligent homicide if one of the attendees gets dies, or committing bodily harm if one of them becomes seriously ill. You get better results if you use a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.

Don't recall them specifying that.

When I was taking my psych training, we learnt of patient of CG. Jung's. This patient was convinced that he was dead, obviously delusional and resistant to therapy. After much work, the patient conceded that the dead do not bleed, so Jung pricked the patient's finger and a drop of blood appeared. The patient was stunned. He turned to Jung and said," I was wrong. The dead do bleed."

Appropos of that:

DEADLY DENIALISM: South Dakota Nurse: Dying COVID Patients Think It’s Fake

-CNN 
A South Dakota nurse whose tweets went viral over the weekend says the hardest part of her job is convincing some critically ill patients that they really do have COVID-19. “Their last dying words are, ‘This can’t be happening, it’s not real,” Jodi Doering said on CNN. “Even after positive results come back, they don’t believe it.”
