Interesting. That's the scary thing about a new virus - there is always going to be a degree of trial and error. This part is especially spooky:
"What’s driving this reassessment is a baffling observation about Covid-19: Many patients have blood oxygen levels so low they should be dead. But they’re not gasping for air, their hearts aren’t racing, and their brains show no signs of blinking off from lack of oxygen."
It's almost like Covid 19 is tricking medics into taking the wrong course of action.
This virus thrives in oxygen rich environments be they airborne or cellular is how I read this. Ventilators are self contained units however and CPAP/high flow are not. "One problem, though, is that CPAP and other positive-pressure machines pose a risk to health care workers, he said. The devices push aerosolized virus particles into the air, where anyone entering the patient’s room can inhale them. The intubation required for mechanical ventilators can also aerosolize virus particles, but the machine is a contained system after that. "

Apparently there are 7 more IGs who have been fired.
Swamp draining continues unabated.
Firing IG's that he appointed is swamp draining? I run my errands here whenever POTUS begins his daily maga rally as we have been under "stay at home for almost a month." Traffic has picked up greatly during that time period lately.

Captain Crozier will be remembered for the actions he took to save lives. In 2017 4 Navy ships ran into merchant vessels and it was months or longer before Captains were removed. In this Navy the Captain stays only if he endangers lives entrusted to his care....

Plague????
Spanish Flu in 1918 was referred to as the Black Death Plague. Societies that took less stringent measures suffered massive casualties. It was the 2nd wave that did the most damage. Sound familiar?

The thread is about Sweden, not Italy. I doubt bodies are left in the streets in Stockholm.
You stated a death rate by covid would be available. I countered your assertion and stand by my statement. As with any plague people die in their homes and the actual death count or rate will take time to determine.

Even if they didn't test every case admitted to hospital, which I would doubt, if a person dies of Corona symptoms in either country the total of each death rate attributed to Corona would be available.
Scores of Italians dying in their homes. Lots of interviews with Italian doctors describing this very situation. Under the circumstances nobody is going to rush out and pick up the bodies, let alone test them. I'm thinking no "instant" mortality rate on this one.

Rather like this one from Bing. More tracking sites is not a bad thing. https://bing.com/covid/local/thailand

If someone is hospitalised and having COVID symptoms, he will be subjected to the test by the hospital.
All his contacts history during the past 14 days will be traced and might be subjected to COVID test if the patient tested positive.
They will look for you, I don't think you have to look for them.
Prior to being hospitalized how hard is it for those who are sick with flu-like symptoms to get tested?
-
Thailand says it has the ability to run 20 thousand tests a day. By all accounts the total amount of tests administered is between 25-70K. Roughly 0.1% of the total population. or less. In the early stages of the outbreak here in the states it was next to impossible to get tested. It was a real "catch-22' with doctors not wanting to see sick patients in their office's. Criteria (have you been in contact?) had to be met so as to preserve tests. Patients were told to wait it out, have flu tests run first etc-all wasting valuable time. What is the process like in Thailand?

Sweden currently has 477 covid deaths/fatalities. Finland has 28. Norway has 76. Will both Finland and Norway put travel restrictions on Sweden?

From The Lancet's March 23 report found in the link below:
SARS-CoV-2 RNA could be detected for 20 days or longer in a third of patients who survived in our cohort, and one patient had SARS-CoV-2 RNA detected for 25 days. Prolonged detection of viral RNA of 20 days or longer was also commonly seen for patients with MERS-CoV or SARS-CoV infections.
Prolonged detection of viral RNA represents a challenge for the limited availability of hospital isolation facilities because patients might not be discharged until viral RNA is undetectable in respiratory specimens. Further studies are warranted to ascertain whether patients are shedding live virus, by viral culture of the prolonged RT-PCR-positive specimens obtained from patients with concomitant seropositivity when shedded virions are coated with host antibodies which render them non-infectious.A criterion for discontinuation of transmission-based precautions is a negative RT-qPCR result from two sets of nasopharyngeal and throat swab specimens. In the current study, one patient with complete symptom resolution tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 again after 2 days of negative findings. Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 might be excreted at low levels despite clinical recovery. Thus, both serial viral load monitoring and antibody response should be considered when making decisions about infection control measures, because viral load seemed to be related inversely to serum antibody response in this study.https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(20)30196-1/fulltext#seccestitle140 -
Oxford is charting the stringency of government response to covid-19 over time, the heat map gives a nice visual: https://covidtracker.bsg.ox.ac.uk/stringency-map

In America this map from Wavy compares tests administered vs positive results on a state by state basis. Not all states are providing these results. https://www.wavy.com/news/health/coronavirus/interactive-map-covid-19-testing-vs-confirmed-cases-by-state/

This one by covid health is more of a map-allowing your cursor to go across the globe. https://covid19.health/

The Fed has no moves left but to print money. V shaped recovery? Better hope it's not an L shape. There are worse economic events than a recession. Navarro and Kudlow continually minimize the possible long term effects of this global pandemic. Economies like S. Korea who take the least economic damage because of effective governance will suffer the least.

Veterans have not forgotten the multiple deferments used by this commander in chief to evade service. Make no mistake this was his decision. Only those caught up in his cult of personality will try and defend this lack of leadership. This alone will cost him the support of the military and much more.
-
Every veteran I have spoken to fully supports the Captain of the USS Roosevelt. Exactly how much common sense does one need to realize the fatality of this virus onboard a crowded vessel? At this point the entire United States is like a virus filled cruise ship with Donald Trump as it's Captain.

Terrified of what" The chances of catching it are remore. The chances of dying under 50 are even more remote. I am more terrified of the world's over reaction than the virus.
Do you know what systemic health care failure means? Hospital beds run at 2/3 capacity every day. Have a look at just how hard an impact this pandemic will have in a best case scenario. https://www.zerohedge.com/health/all-hospital-beds-us-will-be-filled-coronavirus-patients-about-may-8th-according-analysis

5 hours ago, Crazy Alex said:The mortality rate? Meh. Swine flu mortality rate was 0.02%, but Obama still managed to have 12,000 Americans die as a result of his bungling the swine flu. So obviously, the 12,000 dead Americans and their families aren't ever concerned with mortality rate. Food for thought.
The Obama administraition declared a public health emergency in April of 2009 with only 20 infections and no deaths. (Swine flu or H1N1 is nowhere near as infectious as covid-19.) Withiin 2 weeks the USA was shipping H1N1 tests to the world saving untold numbers of lives. Systems and planning were put in place to help such efforts in the future. Donald Trump removed these and now the world will suffer as a result. I live in the Pacific northwest and covid-19 is racing thru my neighborhood. I Talked to a nurse who works at our local hospital and there are 20 covid positive cases there that the cdc will not let be reported.. I have made an appointment to give blood because i know there will be a shortage.

i think the market is already pricing in and happy about a Joe
Biden presidency. Fox news needs to understand that you can't sell nearly as many cathaters n pillows when your morbidly un-healthy audience is dropping like flies. These people would cull they own just to make a political point.

I wouldn't worry. I'm not elderly and have always been blessed with a strong immune system. I'd also refer to the statistics of percentage of people who are exposed who actually display symptoms and the percentage of those who die. Very little if anything to worry about.
Your lack of empathy for those most at risk is trumped only by your lack of knowledge. The actual mortality rate is being determined right now. i would err on the side of caution....

The science versus religion debate in real time. 150 members of the Saudi royal family have covid. There are thousands of these royals that travel frequently. Even talk of cancelling the Hajj.
