Emergence of a Deadly Coronavirus

Post Reply New Topic

Nothing on the council's website and no community groups on Facebook as yet.

The panic over COVID-19 is because this is a “novel,” new disease. And we don’t know what havoc it could actually wreak.

That's right and all of a sudden they are in such high demand. Then there are the 3rd world countries where equipment is scarce and mostly within the walls of private hospitals.

No but there are a number of simple preventive measures that can be taken to greatly reduce the massive deaths caused by heart disease.

My guess is that a considerably high number of people terrified of covid-19, live a lifestyle that contributes greatly towards them getting heart disease.

After 9/11 gas masks were in high demand because of panic over the fear of gas and biological attacks from the terrorists. People were scared to death.

Thanks for looking . I am due to be seen every year re the care act reviews .

You realize Covid can lead to pneumonia?

Maybe it would be worth ringing your local surgery of psych team. I would imagine that the community will mobilise when the time comes.

The solution lies in community spread. If you kill off the coronavirus throughout the rest of the world, those with autoimmune disorders will never get this coronavirus because it is not resident in the community.

Economic strain or financial collapse is inevitable ---

whether or not the situation turns out to be as devastating long-term as Italy's situation became.

The risk is real in the meantime

There should be a two-pronged approach to mitigate the spread and to cushion the blow financially and that... I'm not sure how it will happen...

I have several postings on this thread that discuss the effectiveness of Hydrochloroquine/Chloroquine on treating COVID19. Generally I cite my source. The one on the Jewish community in New York was on the television last night. So I had to capture the jest of it before it was gone. So no source. Thinking it might be available and reported on the internet this morning. While I was looking, I stumbled onto the following article in the Jewish Journal:

The Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva announced in a March 20 press release that it is donating more than 6 million tablets of a drug that could potentially treat coronavirus to the United States. The 6 million tablets of hydroxychloroquine will be sent to the U.S. by March 31 and at least an additional 4 million tablets during April.

The American Jewish Committee tweeted, “Thank you, Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva, for prioritizing human lives during this pandemic! #BeAMensch”

The China Academy of Sciences in Wuhan wrote in a March 18 report that its experiments with the drug show that “it has good potential to combat the disease.” Twenty coronavirus patients in France were treated with the drug and 70% tested negative for the virus in six days. Six of those patients took hydroxychloroquine with azithromycin — an antibiotic — and all six tested negative at the end of six days, according to the New York Post.

I finally found a link: Listen: Dr. Vladimir Zelenko Discusses His COVID-19 Treatment with Sean Hannity
It also contains a video link.

Can you imagine. Freaking murderer. Aspiring to Jim Jones' level of brainwashing no doubt. All these stupid and/or intentionally evil people are taking advantage of this situation.

In Kashmir there is a misguided young man on stage claiming because the people are 'Hanafi Muslims' it won't affect them. What proof? I hope nobody took him seriously. This is what lack of education and discernment and misguided faith does

Edit I looked it up and it isn't confirmed and original story was taken down- however he has done this in the past

^ that's my biggest issue with Saudis who build malls instead of libraries for the public. You then create the perfect social environment for people like this to unleash their psychopsthy in case of financial collapse or epidemic or siege.

Just like every time there is mass panic. It's not over how much of a threat there actually is, but fear over the imagined threat.

That is why Franklin Delano Roosevelt said:

"The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Fear Itself".

It is too bad those words of wisdom fall on so many deaf ears.

I think either panic or ignoring is wrong right now. The polarisation between the two seems especially unhealthy.
