Well, it started with a doctor being silenced for trying to warn the world, it will go like this till people will finally get fed up with it and ask for the changes needed to prevent these situations when country after country is taken by surprise while everybody could see the writing on the wall months ago.

This is unfortunately a bitter truth, the man wanted to warn his country and the world, but he was not aware that the Communist Party of China do not like such heroes. In the fight against the virus, he too lost his life - so although it may sound inhumane, this may be better for him than ending up in some death camp.

And today I read that Trump blamed China for concealing real data, because that's what the most powerful secret agencies tell him - which is of course a classic political spin in the sense of "I had the wrong information - that's why I claimed the virus would disappear when the sun went out and the bees went fly from flower to flower ".

What most people do not want to accept is the fact that ordinary people have always been, and still are expendable. What's the difference in sending people to die in meaningless wars thousands of miles away from their homeland, and in fact that several hundred thousand would die from virus, and many of them will be elders, homeless, poor. American politics has always had money and profits first, then its citizens, and this situation is no exception.

So, nothing will happen before easter.

All around the world, everyone is canceling easter plans and even the most hardcore of churches, the Greek Orthodox Church is saying they will keep everything closed, and the orthodox easter is one week after, on the 19th.
As much as people tried to see in that date some miraculous turnaround point, it won't be that way.

Even Trump is backpedaling a lot lately:

Unfortunately, the reality is that politicians (who generally have no idea about anything) don't listen to scientists and doctors, and now we have a global result of their politics.

Well, it started with a doctor being silenced for trying to warn the world, it will go like this till people will finally get fed up with it and ask for the changes needed to prevent these situations when country after country is taken by surprise while everybody could see the writing on the wall months ago.

open like they are ready to accept tourist again ?  or maybe you mean their people can live normally again ? but wont only accept visitors for a while ? because other countries are still ill.  they dont want to get infected again arent they ?

 its okay if they will end home quarantine by easter as long as all people on that country are already verified to be corona free  . look at china , i think china are already back again on the game along time ago

Of course, not. The future of Coronavirus in the USA is very delicate. For the good of all of us, I hope they manage to control the epidemic. Sadly, they are innocent lives that are being lost and that the pandemic of Covid19 will bring negative effects on a global level.

By Easter, nothing will be open, everything by and large is just beginning, and most likely, everything will have to sit at home, in April and May, and this is in the best case, otherwise there will be a high probability of getting another wave of infections.
right, we must decide the development of the virus by sitting at home. so that we can immediately move quietly. we know this virus is very contagious, and this is a world war, with the same enemy, and therefore needed cooperation to help each other help

UNDATED (AP/WKRC) - Millions of Americans will be infected by the coronavirus and 100,000 to 200,000 will die, the U.S. government's top infectious-disease expert warned Sunday, as people in and around the country's outbreak epicenter of New York were urged to limit their travel to contain the scourge.
The dire prediction came from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaking on CNN's “State of the Union.” As of Sunday morning, the U.S. had about 125,000 infections and 2,200 deaths.

In just 4-5 days the number of confirmed infected has doubled from 100 000 to almost 200 000, and by all that is happening, the USA will be the largest COVID-19 battlefield. 30 states have introduced some adequate measures, but in the other 20, life is still going as the usual.

For all that is happening, Americans should thank their president, who has recently claimed that there will be no more than 15 cases of infection. Unfortunately, the reality is that politicians (who generally have no idea about anything) don't listen to scientists and doctors, and now we have a global result of their politics.

I think it's really unfortunate that to prevent mask shortages the surgeon general and the CDC have materially mislead the public about the efficacy of masks.  The obvious way to phase out shutdowns would be to massively manufacture masks (even just surgical masks) and make wearing them in public mandatory for everyone.  There is significant evidence that population scale use of masks significantly lowers contagion for similar diseases and for sars-cov-2 in particular, and it would be a great way to reduce the unacceptable spike in additional hospitalizations a couple weeks after reducing distancing measures. In addition to the direct effect of reducing the spread, masks serve as a reminder of the risk (improving compliance with handwashing and distance keeping), discourage touching the face (for most people), and would be a visual identifier for idiots who are out without taking the pandemic seriously and whom should be avoided as a result. At this point, however, I think it would be politically impossible to go that route because it would require politicians to admit that they mislead the public, and it would require convincing the public to wear masks when many people now believe they don't work.

Looks like they might do it anyway: CDC considering recommending general public wear face coverings in public

Due to the shortage of surgical and N95 masks, they may recommend that people wear cloth and other DIY face coverings. Shocked

bad news everywhere. everyday it seems like there is a new "epicenter".....new york, florida, new orleans. i'm surprised the markets aren't crashing. i guess investors are still high from the promise of stimulus and bailouts?
The markets have already gone down a lot and some of the central banks are coming up with stimulus package and loan extension but the biggest question will be, when will we see everything back to normal, if the lock down is forced to continue for a few more months how will be able to cope up with the situation, things are not that great and the market will take a huge hit and i am expecting a major correction as the recession will hit us badly.

China uses viruses to even the balance between the old and the young, they realized that the one-child policy is not suitable, so they lifted the ban on the second. The problem as always in stupidity, it is necessary not to destroy old people with viruses and not to occupy new territories, but to prohibit childbirth around the world so that old people become younger. There is no hood without good, any good is balanced by the recalculation of physics under the relevance of the application of good.

That's a hell of a conspiracy theory.

I don't believe they actually would have done that knowing how influenza travels / would affect other countries, including countries they are semi-financially dependent on. They're economy is taking a huge hit from this as well.

There are people spreading information about Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and Azithromycin as an effective treatment for COVID-19 on social media. Is that fake news, or is that the cure that might beat the pandemic?

Plus, Chinese propaganda, https://twitter.com/kpags1/status/1244344145646440456

Who's fault is COVID-19 pandemic?



I don't believe the actual true facts regarding it's development will ever come to fruition. Nor will it be believed if it does.

I still have not seen legal news about a drug that can handle this pandemic because until now there is still confusion about the vaccine for the treatment of Covid-19. No one can conclude that the drug is except WHO who provides its clarification so there I will believe what is in remove from the WHO statement. We still have to fight pandemics no matter how, because this has paralyzed cities and thousands that are united throughout the world. Must keep a distance.

What is clear is that the Covid-19 pandemic started in Wuhan, China.

The president might have strategical concepts about getting rid of the virus, that is why he have said that. But, I don't think all is well when it Easter because the time frame is too short for the society to recover from the destructive pandemic and there are still no known cure for it. Let's hope for a good news next month.

so much for opening up by easter huh? Roll Eyes

Opening that early is I think not a smart decision though. They might regret it afterwards. Just saying... Or if they will open, they need to follow strict social distancing?? I guess.

In my personal opinion one should not consume those medicines without medical advice, as we do not know if it could backfire on the person as each one has a different medical history. Furthermore we can bother about who started coronavirus later but right now all we need to do is sit in home tight and avoid going out, and let’s hope come May 1st this social distancing rules will end for good.

I don't honestly think the death rate is going to be as large as people make it out to be TBH. People are often comparing it to the flu which is over-diagnosed (there-by lowering the death rate percentage).. But at the same time Corona is under-diagnosed. I'm sure there have been plenty of people who have it, weren't able to get tested due to either limitations or difficulty in finding testing, recovered and weren't apart of the statistics.

I've been saying that for a while, that the original 3-4% mortality estimates were exaggerated by an order of magnitude. This thing has infected way more people than the official numbers recognize.

We're finally getting some confirmation about that. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/30/health/coronavirus-lower-death-rate/index.html

There are people spreading information about Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and Azithromycin as an effective treatment for COVID-19 on social media. Is that fake news, or is that the cure that might beat the pandemic?

There have been no completed clinical trials yet but:

It definitely isn't a cure but it might be an effective treatment. Although detractors have all but written it off, there are some early signs the hydroxychloroquine/azithromycin combo may be effective.

Doctors in Bahrain are administering it to patients. The government says it was effective in "alleviating the symptoms of the virus and reducing its complications." https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/03/bahrain-claim-success-anti-malarial-drug-coronavirus.html#ixzz6I47tr8BO

A small French study found that "hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients and its effect is reinforced by azithromycin." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920300996

South Korean doctors also found "some success" administering hydroxychloroquine to COVID-19 patients. https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/03/28/desantis-shipments-of-drug-hydroxychloroquine-to-help-covid-19-on-way-to-florida/

Do you think this is possible? What do you think the impact of this will be if this is forced ahead (companies allowed to re-open up, etc). Do you think it'll make the health and/or economic problem better or worse?
It is an impractical dream by the president to get everything back to normal and the experts said it best, the virus decides when everything will be back to normal, you really cannot predict what the situation will be, there are more than 150,000 patients in the USA and the health care authorities are predicting that we will see a death rate of around 100,000 people in the next few months and that is not a good sign to relax and expect that things are going to be alright in a short period. The next two months are crucial and if the spread can be controlled then it will be great for everyone, if not we will see hard times in the coming months.

I don't honestly think the death rate is going to be as large as people make it out to be TBH.

I'm sure there have been plenty of people who have it, weren't able to get tested due to either limitations or difficulty in finding testing, recovered and weren't apart of the statistics.

It's an impractical dream, but I do feel like certain countries could do more (and I'm not naming the US here) to stop the spread. Enforcement of social distancing should be a further practice, unlike in countries like Canada where it's been mostly "recommended" up until this point.

I'm sure parts of the US are the same.
