I live on the outskirts of Houston, Texas. Currently 30 people have been diagnosed with the virus in the area, luckily no one I know is infected yet. Schools are shut down until mid April. All clubs and bars are to close their doors for the next 15 days. Eating at restaurants has also been banned. However, drive-thru and pick-up options are still available.

The Government of Estonia has declared the emergency situation on 12th March due to the worldwide pandemic of Coronavirus COVID-19 and the threat of mass infections.

The emergency situation has been declared to contain the spread of the virus. The government has decided to ban public gatherings and implement distant learning at schools, it has implemented sanitary controls at the border and closed cultural institutions until 1st of May. The emergency situation allows to implement emergency command organization. A government commission headed by the prime minister, has been established to solve the emergency situation. Unless decreed otherwise by the government, the emergency situation remains in force until 1 May 2020.

To help to contain the spreading of the virus it is important to follow the orders of the government and other official institutions. Responsible behavior will protect ourselves, our close ones and people with weakened immune system like the elderly and chronically ill.




Some info on the picture is outdated. as borders are now closed(foreigners cannot access to estonia, only who live here, and all people who come here are asked to stay home for two weeks)

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

From there you can see that has estonia has 225 positive test(sort by tot cases per 1m population).

Btw..since government lacks resources than all people are not tested! Meaning real number could be much much higher as health board in estonia focuses on risk groups, meaning mostly on elderly people.

Grocery stores can't seem keep products on the shelves, even though they are limiting customers on many items. I just bought what I needed for the next week or so. People are buying up supplies like a hurricane is about to hit.

"Prepare your family, and communicate your plan about evacuations, resources and supplies. Experts suggest stocking at least a 30-day supply of any needed prescriptions. Consider doing the same for food staples, laundry detergent and diapers, if you have small children." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/world/coronavirus-maps.html

Lots of conspiracy theories out there. There is a level 4 biosafety lab right outside of Wuhan. Anything is a possibility in this crazy f'ed up world. China says the US caused the outbreak, not sure how I feel about that. Apparently the US troops were in Wuhan in October of last year. I think there definitely is some hidden agenda behind this epidemic.

Hello,
i write from Italy. Here the situation is not easy. The government has taken very restrictive measures for citizens, who don't they can leave the house except for reasons of extreme necessity. The disease itself is not very dangerous (the deaths are all for people with previous respiratory diseases), but it is very contagious and spreads very quickly (and the Italian state is not adeguate to support the large number of people who need medical attention). If this happens also in your countries the only solution is to stay indoors (if your job allows it) and wait for this wave of infections to pass. It is good not to be alarmed, but also not to underestimate it. Stay indoors!!!
Greetings to everyone.

It supposed to end on March 31 but got extended to April 14 due to the rising cases of Covid-19 in our country.

As of yesterday, we have more than 2,000 positive cases.

Hopefully, this will all be over soon. Stay safe everyone.

In Illinois, Chicago almost totally shut down. Bars and restaurants closed to dine in after March 16th, largely in response to large groups of individuals gathering to drink for St. Patrick's Day. Recently heard that a large group in Quincy, Illinois crossed the Mississippi River to go into Hannibal, Missouri to go to bar since Illinois bars are shut down. They have closed the lake shore bike trail and all parks because people not practicing social distancing - congregating in large groups, pick up games of soccer, basketball and football. Restaurants open for pick up and delivery, grocery stores still open but restricting quantities of some items. Schools have been shifted to remote learning since March 9. People need to understand the ease with which this disease can be spread and that even if you don't get put on a ventilator with a tube down your throat, your selfish actions could lead to vulnerable individuals being exposed and them getting severely sick.

Anyway, practice social distancing, stay indoors if you can and stay well.

LOL, great video, thanks for sharing! The stupidity is unbelievable! A perfect example how ignorance these days also can spread fast as a nasty little virus. Hate to break it to you, but you're heavily infected. As a cure, better start watching some main stream media dude! I know you don't like the taste, but buckle up and just take your medicine. Oh, and in case you're really wondering: a coronavirus is just the name for a certain group of viruses. Some are rather harmless and can cause the common cold, unfortunately others can be lethal such as this new virus. It's actually called SARS-CoV-2, but being not a fancy name the media generally just uses it's family name … oh crap, never mind...

Coronavirus also known as coronaviridae refers to a family of viruses which can cause many different diseases depending on the strain of virus. This is a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) aka never been exposed to humans before and hence no one has innate immunity (if it was the common cold, it wouldn't have spread and infect/kill as many as it has and will keep doing). It causes the disease known as COVID-19. It's symptoms are much worse than the common cold.

Based on the explanations I and smaakeloos have given you, we have debunked the trash you've given a link to. The person is obviously uneducated. As a pre-med student, I find it insulting and downright dangerous for you to push such asinine messaging.

Coronaviruses causes common cold, then you also have coronaviruses like MERS that has a 35% mortality rate or SARS with a 10% mortality and now with COVID-19 virus which we don't know yet the real mortality of the virus & also the indirect mortality, by indirect mortality I mean that people will die from things unrelated to Coronavirus because the health system is going to be overwhelmed, so if you have an accident and need treatment, a heart attack, stroke or maybe even appendicitis, you might die because you might not receive proper treatment, there won't be enough ambulances, hospital beds, doctors or the ICU might be full so doctors might decide another patient with better chances of recovery will get that ICU space you need.

No brain at all ! Now people need to be locked down, no jobs, only markets opened so we won't starv to death.

All mechanical shopes closed, car shops etc because of stupid people who had to travell there and ignore the serious situation !

Is not just the dead rate, two of the most important differences, with flu, 1 person in average pass it to 1.4 person, after 10 itinerancies of the virus that person passed the flu to 14 people, with coronavirus each person pass it to 3 persons in average, 10 itinerancies of contagion and instead of the 14 you'd get with flu, you'd have 59.000 people with the virus... which is why it was so hard to control & isolate in the first place.

The 2nd most important difference is that 20% of the people that contracts coronavirus will end up on a hospital needing treatment, when the health system colapses and new patients can't get treatment is when the mortality spikes, which is the reason why Spain has 7.1% mortality rate and Italy 9.9%, also Iran which I guess doesn't have a great health system has a mortality rate of 7.8%.... unfortunately, the UK doesn't have a health system as good as Spain or Italy, we have about 1/3 of the hospital beds and equipment they have, hopefully I'm wrong but I expect the situation to be even worse than in those Countries.

The interesting point you raise is whether you should leave statistics to medical professionals. This is not about semantics and how contageous and lethal this new virus will turn out to be 'exactly', but all about what strain it is putting on healthcare systems around the world. It's still mind boggling how people keep looking for things to match their political views. Sign of the times sadly. Open your eyes and look at the hard evidence that really matters and is already here for all to see: how hospitals in many different places are struggling and working on their limits, and beyond. A little less support for your political favourites and a little more support for your healthcare workers would be much appreciated.

Re: COVID-19

Badge image
@darkline, I'm not saying the views expressed are completely beyond reproach/critique, but there's a fair few that at least deserve contemplation. With what you raise about the medical system strains, isn't it worth a thought: There is every chance a number of people have already had some form of the virus, and simply followed usual habits of either (a) pushing through and carrying on their work and life or (b) stayed home sick. Especially given how contagious it can be. Isn't it also worth a thought that if the risk of death is significantly higher for those in a "vulnerable group" (over 60 and/or with underlying health conditions), that it's people in those groups who should be advised towards "lockdown" lifestyle for the time being? Especially when you also at least consider the long-term mental health effects on humans, especially those at minimal realistic risk of infection and/or those who even if they do pick up the infection are at minimal risk of death, from living lives in effective house-arrest. I wouldn't say there's much debate for most people that it's not healthy to spend almost all your time indoors, alone if you don't live with someone else, potentially unemployed with no income but still living costs to meet, no real consistent physical outlet (workout in your home, one period of exercise outside), product shortages and stress about going shopping...

@smaakeloos, Your post is a bit of headache since it basically reads like it's a response to a totally different article. It's not a question of who produces the statistics, it's a question of (1) the basis of how they're recorded and (2) interpretation. The chap who authored the article is making some points about how they're recorded, especially how the "cause" is decided/recorded, how that can differ from country to country, and so why there might be some other explanation for the apparent disparity in death rates than just "quality of medical care and/or coping methods (such as how soon and how harshly lockdown protocols were implemented)". People outside the vulnerable groups will in the vast majority not need to attend hospital and put any strain on the system, they will self-isolate at home.
If you read the article properly, the man is not making a case for "Don't worry about it, it's all fine", it's more balanced than that.
Special credit for the parts which I can't even find some vague basis for:
Runner Up: Some part of the article or my comments brief intro to it which infers a lack of support for healthcare workers.
Winner: Everything you said about "politics". Things to match political views... Support for my "political favourites"... Where does politics come into the article or what I wrote about it?
If the corona virus was known to detrimentally affect a person's ability to demonstrate any understanding of an opinion and/or present a cogent (or even coherent) response to it, I would suggest you skip testing as utterly redundant, and instead go straight into isolation or treatment :)

If the corona virus was so bad they would have stopped all flights from China when the crisis first begun. But you have flights still happening today. I'm not here acting like I know everything, I just want people to do some research, use their common sense. Whats happening is not wright. Viruses are not even what they tell us to be, they are not even alive. Whats happening now with this is wealth redistribution, Probably want to crash the economy and blame it on the virus. Every country in the wold is in debt. Who knows, they are social engineering us. I mean what is social distancing supposed to do? Nothing makes sense.

I actually have the solution to the problem of how to keep the virus controlled without having to quarantine the population, no idea why no one thought of it. Basically, just make it mandatory to use a mask when you go outside, any type of crappy mask will do and the government should distribute them for free, what is a poor quality mask good for? Is not good to prevent you from catching the virus as it won't filter much, but it will prevent you from spreading the virus to other people if you already have it, if you talk spitting, cough, sneeze, the saliva droplets won't go far if you have a mask on your face and also, it will prevent people from touching their mouth and nose.... did I get something wrong? Because that's what WHO said the masks you get at ebay are good for, it just seems like something very simple to implement that at least along with other measures, would allow people to carry on with at least some measure of normality, I keep thinking that there must be a flaw in my logic because otherwise governments would have thought of this, but I just can't find the flaw.

Its pointless arguing, I can show you all the evidence in the world that this is overblown and you'll never believe it. It is just a flue. Go do some investigating youself. Go see for yourself hospitals in your area. The ones that the media is saying are overflowing with people see if it looks like they say or is it just another day in the office. People are doing just that all over the world, and you can see just go on youtube, or social media where they show the hospitals are empty.

Here you can see what the media is doing. They are suing footage from Italian hospital and saying its NY. You might say its a one tome thing, but I've been aware of these things for a long time and I can tell you it happens a lot.

It is just a flu, I live in CT bordering NY which is supposedly one of the states where the virus is spread the most. I see nothing going on only paranoid people with masks. All my neighbors are fine. I have family In Italy, Greece, England they are all ok, just scared because they believe the media. I have a coworker who told me his nephew had the virus and survived it. The symptoms he was describing were flu symptoms, only more dramatized because the media told them that is a deadly virus, and its all in their head. I work 5 days a week, I don't wash my hands 10 times a day, I do just what I usually do, I don't fear it. And I feel as good as ever. I'v driven by one of the hospitals haven't seen anything, might just make a video. All am saying is investigate yourself don't believe anyone, use your senses. Im not downplaying this, I care about the world. If it was real I would never say something stupid like this. But its not real, and people need to wake up, The world will never be the same if we don't do anything about it.
