I really hope we will have SARS-CoV-2 quick antibodies test as soon as possible
So everyone can test himself and check if he had been infected or not.

Now that would be an interesting number to find out...
 
Good video. Simple and informative.

The latest calculated mortality rate, reported by Imperial College are a bit lower at 0.66% (this basically mean that they have a higher infection rate, in their model).

The 20-30% need-to-be hospitalized rate also appears high to be honest.
 
We get it as babies, so I can hardly remember it. :)
We get it at 13, I think. It's sort of a high school ritual, where all the older kids tells horror stories about it. 😁

I was ill at the time we were supposed to take it. Then I forgot about it for a while. Took it in my early twenties.

Wow. And I though death threats for science was bad :(

 
but yes, when possible, isolation is the way to go, at least until further notice.

those being said, i'm in the office after more than a week of work from home - my shift is due for the next 3 working days.
really loving it... such a forgotten feeling, the joy of actually going to work

Well, sometimes we need to mention what is a risk.

”BREAKING – IN ITALY
Italy has decided to distribute hydroychloroquine and azithromycin – recommended by Prof. Didier Raoult for treatment of Covid-19 in its early stages – FOR FREE in all pharmacies across the nation.
Meanwhile, in France, the Big Pharma gang around Le Petit Roi still forbids sales to the public: only authorizes them for medical personnel and on the latest stages of Covid-19 – when treatment cannot possibly work anymore.”

Alt-right groups have been attacking him online for weeks now. The idea is that his facts undermine the government's lies, and that he is the public face of the deep state undermining the POTUS via the bogus hoax. The POTUS publicly referring to the State Department as the Deep State Department (with Fauci facepalming the first time) didn't help much. To my knowledge the US is the only western country where this is 50% a medical crisis and 50% a political thing.


Sure, that is bad. But it is also not much of a reason to start stabbing Asian-American families on another continent. There is a difference between saying "wet markets carry the dangerous risk of zoonosis" (which science has been warning about for many, many years), "withholding information or downplaying the severity endangers the world" and so forth on the one hand, and "It is the China virus and every death on the globe is because of the Chinese." on the other. One is science-driven, fact-based and aimed at prevention, the other is politics-driven, aimed at shifting blame and inciting hatred.
 
On the rapid test Situation (EU/EEA) . A lot of helpfull information linked to from there, especially when it comes to evaluating the tests being thrown on the market already :

Ofc not, we should play nice, I would never do that, I just point out what I think is stupid.
