CoronaVirus

As if this all wasn't terrifying enough already, it appears corona also can cause severe brain damage.

I think one qualification for the statistic would be a note that confirms they did it because of the virus. But you're right; either way we need consistency

I don't know whether we subjects of ERII just don't get the American sense of humour, or what. But at least we spell it correctly! ;-)

Have you tried typing in Nitrile gloves and a touch screen?

Wasn’t my fault your Jewel BlackBerry ****** it up. Give me a BlackBerry and there’d be no typos

I was a senior analyst at BlackBerry

A lot of stuff goes right over your head.

We may talk the same language. That's about it.

Yup, separated by a common language!

Oh, and per your earlier comment re the tags. I have the most. Does that mean that I win?

Old news (March 26). Australia had actually sent supplies to China (as in, to help), too.
But they have now banned the export of PPE.

Except they sourced them in January and February, before your WHO declared an epidemic.

China at their best, listing a Chinese company on the US stock exchange. Let the white folks make some money, while they get to briing some USD overseas to serve their debt and buy food.

All kidding and jibes aside, this is important because almost everyone here either suffers from one of several diseases that make them more susceptible to succumbing to Covid-19, or has a family member or dear friend who does.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...63d_story.html

The article mentions that
People who have chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes, lung disease and heart disease, face an increased chance of being hospitalized with covid-19 and put into intensive care, according to data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that is consistent with reports from China and Italy. (please avoid eye rolling just because China is mentioned).

There was an article in The Lancet two weeks ago about a study (un reviewed at the time) suggesting that the correlation was actually due to certain medications used to treat these illnesses. ARB blockers and Ace Inhibitors apparently assist in the expression of an enzyme (ACE2) to which the SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) binds to target cells. Apparently, Ibuprofin acts in the same manner.

Original Lancet article here:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...116-8/fulltext

There have been duelling studies ever since, most of the details of which I admittedly don't understand. But there appears to be a correlation, be it on account of the underlying conditions or the medicines used to combat them.

Obviously, you cannot take people off life-saving medication. But it would make sense to protect these people even more than you might otherwise. And maybe change analgesics to ASA or Acetaminophen.

Nature is cruel, it goes after the sickest and weakest first.
