National 'Lockdown' coming

[Brent S]

I googled several German newspapers. The numbers are growing but very slow, total lockdown back on 28th of Feb. The japanese are VERY obedient people and follow directions to quarantine. All schools were closed early and it is working. Italy and Germany both waited too long, thinking they were NOT third world countries and it would not be sooooo bad. BIG mistakes as we are now seeing...we just got our lockdown last night a 8:00 pm. and there are still cops having to go and break up parties of teenagers in the now empty school parking lots...(I always thought that schools were needed and used to make the next generation a bit smarter???)

I believe the US will pay a price for being so slow to take this seriously. Especially by the youth. The numbers are getting high enough here now that when it doubles it’s a big deal now and will grow exponentially.

Just makes you wanna wonder, what do they learn in the schools nowadays? Do they watch the "Family Guy" , "Simpsons", and other **** too much? All those smart-ass little kids on endless TV series which are only there to make us all laugh at their smart-ass comments...or are they also there to get the next generation ready to act exactly as smart-ass and now put their lives in danger...GP

School here, especially colleges, teach liberalism and that's about it.

I am curious about Japan. How are they so healthy?

 

[DrHenley]

What happened to the huge number of infected that was supposed to hit Japan? How did they prevent it?

Japan? Look at Taiwan!

153 cases, 2 deaths.

That's nothing short of miraculous.

Their epidemic response was honed during the SARS epidicmic, which they were not prepared for, but they were prepared this time. They wasted no time shutting off traffic from China and locking things down. And the Taiwanese are not the obedient subjects the Japanese are. But they all recognized the threat immediately - both citizens and government - and took action without delay.

All those East Asian countries bore the brunt of SARS, so they knew what they had to do. South Korea got hit so bad because of that church led by that idiot.

It doesn’t appear the youth are listening even now, unfortunately. There is no way to even slow this thing down without everyone staying home. That isn’t happening and I can’t see any Governor holding people in their houses by force. Can you? With the large number of homeless on the streets in certain cities...there is no way we are stopping the spread. And let’s not even consider the damage Illegals are bringing...and have been bringing!

Respect of others is not taught any longer. God was booted out, but how to “do” the same sex is taught...even pushing that crap in kindergartens. Real learning is out...just look at where we are in the world ranks now. Political everything is pushed hard...socialism and hate anyone who is a Patriot or White.

Why haven't any of the celebrities that have tested positive, had a single one get sick?

Have you ever been to Japan. Overall, incredibly clean. Very polite society, and not touchy-feely at all. They already practice social distancing to some degree. I'm not surprised at all that they have stopped it.

BTW, I'm seeing a different strategy than a national lockdown. Different states have different levels of 'need' of a lockdown, so Trump is likely guiding each state to do their own level and supporting it. Minimal need in WV. Maximum need in CA/WA/NY. Let each state adopt as seen fit.

Just in TN yesterday (Friday)the number went up 100 cases overnight. The highest infected age group continues to be that 21-30 age group. Total infected 263 last Monday it was 53. So quite a jump in just a week.

Well at least we don't have to worry about our two millennial children engaging in risky behavior. My daughter has Crohn's and the medicine she takes compromises her immune system, so she normally has to be very careful, and has always carried hand sanitizer and uses it all the time. And my son....well let's just say he has a strong sense of "risk aversion" LOL.

THAT is a good question! Puts all kinds of thoughts in my head.

Tom Hanks was in Australia and since he was high profile they went to hospital. We don't even know symptoms. Fever and in bed could have been me last week. Other than the one person being very ill, plus are there other health issues, not much going on for it to be the end of the world.

I agree we need to nip this, but I don't see it at the level of the panic it is causing. We never did it with any of our other pandemics. I believe most of the hysteria is political and being used to tank the economy and Trump.

Some days I think that and other days I look at Italy.

I am in solitary confinement. Only visitor allowed is the warden, my wife.

I read an article today about a church in KY that held services (last Sunday I think) and someone who was there tested positive, so now the whole church is quarantined. We had our services online and used video chat for our Sunday school small group.
I don't know if we need a national lockdown per se but people need to not be COVIDIOTS

 

[BillMasen]

Because they all bought secure survival retreats and have bugged out to them.


consider this..... the main airlines have ceased all flights, but private long range jet and pilots have never been so busy, and they appear to be setting flight plans to some very remote locations. go figure.

No churchs or places of worship should be open now, its suicidal.

BUT THEY HAVE FAITH! They won't get sick

We already switched to virtual services and virtual bible studies. An elder called me last night to check up on me. He is an RN and will be treating COVID-19 patients directly.

We had church service via Facebook live, and our Sunday school small group was through Zoom meetings. (Incidentally, I ready that Zoom and Teladoc are some of the few stocks that have actually gone up due to this disaster.)
I don't know if a national lockdown will be issued from the top down Federal level, but more states and counties and towns seem to be jumping on board with "shelter in place" orders. My county just issued an order today so I was occupied at work with making sure our employees have the proper documentation to continue working.

The number are going to rise because people are finally getting tests. It's the deaths and recoveries that I watch.

Problem there is it takes so long to 'recover'. . . Only 379 cases have recovered out of the 54,941 since they started registering on Feb 15th.

Robin are there cases in your county yet?

That's the reason this is overloading hospitals. If people would recover in the same amount of time that it takes to recover from a cold or flu, then it would open up beds quicker. Hopefully they will get the antimalarial treatment sorted soon, because it's supposed to hasten recovery.

They need to hurry up with all the red tape bullsh@t .. . . The deaths out way the recoveries by more than double. It's not very promise looking that this will be on a downward slope by Easter, but as Granny always said, time will tell.

You have to review the reported figures from 18-22 days ago. You will find, that the revovered are more or less the infected from that days three weeks ago. After 3 weeks Your are recovered or dead, thats more or less the confirmed dates for that sickness.

I agree the antimalarial looks promising but we don't want to have what happened in some countries in Africa (where they use it regularly, not just to cure, but to prevent malaria). People heard it could cure the virus and took too much, overdosed, and died, or suffered due to the side effects.
