Why did Corona spread so quickly in the USA, was it because of idiots flying from other countries?
in NYC it was because every one is in close proximity in albany,GA it was due to their cookout culture lots of people were meeting in large groups. in CA we don't have many cases because our population is not that dense it is spread out even in big cities this is why we drive everywhere in L.A.

It was because our fearless leaders were thinking all of this was a hoax put on by the democrats to weaken his chances at the polls. Then it was just the flu and it would go away. Then it was only 15 cases and in 2 weeks it will be 0. By the time these folks started taking it seriously, it was too late.

UK airports are STILL operating 'like it's a normal day': Britons returning from coronavirus-hit countries say they breezed through security at Heathrow with no testing or quarantine advice
  • Passengers arriving to London's Heathrow said there was lack of medical advice
  • One passenger said that they were unsure if they needed to go into quarantine
  • Another traveller said guidance needed to be provided about social distancing

U.S. has the most internal flights of anywhere in the world. It's people bringing it back from Italy and then flying around on business.

We've got 150k NHS staff off sick because of symptoms, but have only tested 2k of them. We can only test roughly 7.5k a day currently. Our first order of ventillators arrives this weekend, 30 of them, NHS has asked for 30k. Boris has fucked this up royally.

6-week-old baby has died from Corona virus. This is a paradigm shift as this will be the youngest that has died from this virus. There were no deaths under 9 for quite a while and I think there have only been a couple deaths under the age 9 at this point. I think they were all reported as babies. SC MMA MD @SC MMA MD might be a little more up to date on these numbers as he deals with a lot of pediatrics
It is completely unclear at this time why young children and particularly infants seem so resistant to COVID-19, when they are so susceptible to viral respiratory infections in general- particularly RSV. When I first learned that this Coronavirus was spreading, I feared it would be devastating on the NICU/NICU graduates, children with CF, and my patients with complex congenital heart disease (particularly single ventricles). So far- there are zero reports of adverse outcomes in the congenital heart disease population. Hopefully that continues.

I don’t know any details about the baby who died, but it is probably a case of the baby being really unlucky since that age group is so significantly under-represented in the morbidity and mortality statistics.

I hope they're still being paid. Literal heroes at the moment.

My boss is convinced this is all a hoax. He says their is no threat and all this was done to take away our civil liberties and keeps talking about the Christian Apocalypse. He's also in his 60's, has diabetes and is going to church Sunday (since our mayor has not shut them down). Nice knowing him. He was a nice guy. Maybe I'll get a promotion in a couple of months.
Going to church?? Meanwhile, conspiracists with juevos grandes are out there trying to drive trains into huge medical ships

Which state are you in? This is bonkers. Butter him up, you might inherit the company when he carks it due to his stupidity.

I don’t have first hand proof of this, but there are rumors circulating that some physicians in NY have been furloughed because they are sick and therefore unable to work.
I only heard of the word furlough a couple of days ago. You're one of our front liners, right?
