Suicide hotlines see 800 percent spike in calls

So it is really potluck to a degree as the heart just provides a quick coup de grace on what could otherwise be a painfully slow death (I saw the child breathing 60/min he would have had to die of exhaustion. Nasty). Tell me about the bowel involvement as I had not heard of that although in a viraemia it is everywhere. Obstruction? Perforation? Haemorrhage? Apologies but I have not looked at any real sites on the virus and am just curious.

Increased toilet paper consumption can often mean that people are using more to cover toilet seats (anyone who has used a public toilet knows that trick) as much as using it to clean themselves. Of course when far from home we used such as tissues, to clean our pots, pans and plates when water was scarce and to mop up blood and other unpleasant fluids. Had we run out of toilet paper then we would have been in a right mess.
Virus in the stool is not a real problem except for others and remembering some of the toilets I have seen on this planet(plus the common desire of muslims to put their faeces in water or food) that is probably nearing respiratory spread in the non west.
I am curious about the haematemesis as I wondered if this virus could have a haemorrhagic effect if it managed to attack the bone marrow. If it can attack T Cells it may be able to attack more primitive cells there and drop the platelet count. Any evidence for liver damage as that could be a mechanism also although stress/vomiting can cause bleeding?

The mechanism of pulmonary death from ARDS is not as our late friend posted. All lower respiratory viruses stop cilial motion and fluid accumulates in the lungs as a result. CV19 does this of course. But it also attacks the cells that target it: killer T cells and neutrophils and once inside both (and I think that this is where the inserted HIV RNA strands come into it) take it over and make frenzied attacks on all host cells but especially those lining the lungs. This is how HIV killed people(different organs) and is a forced auto-immune disaster as it can totally destroy the lungs permanently. WRT the lung damage any other problem will just be exacerbated by the stress load and although you might die from the other problems directly, it is CV19 who is the reason.

Thank you! Interesting that as I thought it might be possible as the auto-immune response could in theory attack every or any system.

Thank you but “no” WRT the latter as I post across many varied boards(although not often now) and they tell too much about me.
However thank you for those sites as I no longer keep up with medical news and for good reasons.

How is data to be corrected when no testing is required? Pursuant to CDC guidance, no testing to verify if the deceased was even infected with Covid-19. Are they going to dig up bodies and cremains to test a year from now?

The question is, are they keeping tissue samples that can later adjust the numbers, up or down? If it’s down, will Medicare be reimbursed?

ER visits, when in some locales, that is the only way one can gain entry into a hospital …. what does that number truly represent?

I become more and more confused as each day passes. I’m to the point of calling myself, “Vinnie Barbarino”.

I cannot pronounce that, much less spell it correctly.

Is the “e” long or short. Is the “p” soft or hard. Is the “I”‘ pronounced short, long, or as a long “e” sound?

I believe that I have it. Short “e”, hard “p” and the long e sound for the “i”.

That’s not really breaking news. China made that purchase in 2013. I believe Smithfield sold for Seven Billion U.S. Yankee Greenback Dollars, with four billion of it outright cash. Seven years ago is hardly “breaking” news.
On the Mexican Swine Flu, that was before any Chinese interest in the purchase. 2013 minus 2009 equals four years.
Seriously … supposedly …. a large number of the Mexican employees were caught, on security video footage, “mounting” sows. That’s the theory of how it all started. Of course, that might be a vicious rumor started by Cargill.
If you’re interested in why beef and pork production (raising, not slaughter) are located in Mexico and Canada, so very close to the U.S. border … that’s a fascinating conversation that can be had. To protect the health of the American citizenry .. we need TWO walls. One north and one south.

Number of Cases
1411
Ever Hospitalized*
63
Deaths**
7
Recovered
457

Supposedly, that’s up to today’s date. This is from the South Dakota website: https://doh.sd.gov/news/Coronavirus.as

I struggle to consider 1411 cases and 7 deaths as an “epidemic”.

That could readily happen, IF they follow CDC “guidance” where the deceased doesn’t even have to be tested to determine if they were infected with Covi-19.
Hey Marge … How many people died today? Well, if they’re over sixty-five and on Medicare … we get a substantial “spiff”. And, don’t forget … if they were uninsured, the federal government will pay the full cost, PLUS …
So, even ol’ Joe over there, that was hit by the bus …. He’s a victim of Covid-19. Hayull, Marge .. put Covid-19 on ALL of ’em.

Before I answer that, have you read Mencius?

I could take exception with much of that. But, not getting into hundreds of pages of back-and-forth, have you read The Three Li?

Hard to understand Confucius without reading and being familiar with his major works.
Of the Three Li, good to start at …. The Book of Rites.

I just read two articles, today, that state the opposite. I’ll try and find them and give you the links.

Time to light up another 555.

I don’t know if this is true or not … just another legend that I read on the internet. Hey … if I read it on the internet it has to be true, right? Here she goes …
At outdoor concerts, in Colorado, it is illegal to smoke tobacco. However, it is legal to smoke marijuana. One person, surrounded by people smoking marijuana, lit up a Marlboro Light (reason enough to arrest someone with such plebeian taste), but security came and removed the Marlboro smoker and didn’t even bat an eye at all of the marijuana smoke around him.

Hey, I read it on the internet … It must be true.
