Oh I am sure that is totally normal.

I thought Idris Elba was a woman. Legit didn't know it was a man, and I haven't seen the Bond film.
 
WTF Trump government people talking about JUST THE FLU!

Actually a good point that everyone does scoff at the normal flu deaths yearly, and they are hoping we all pay better attention to it next year after this.

Who doctors the doctors?

UK's confirmed cases are now up to 1,950 - up 407 in 24 hours with a potential 55,000 infected (we will never know because we can't arse testing them).

Really flattening that curve Boris...

I was saying yesterday that go out and buy what you need for the next 2 months that is not food related.

Now is still time.

Sounds like they want to get it in the hands of everyone but high earners (definition TBD).

Yeah as someone who lives in the NY region I’d be interested in exactly what qualifies as a “high earner”. Six figure salaries don’t go as far in this area as one would think.

I just looked at FlightRadar24 and there are currently 12,273 aircraft in the air right now.

I was expecting far less :/

That would be the end of the country... what's the source? They just announced they were trying to hire an additional 100,000 people to help work the warehouses in this time of need.

Depends on what the definition of "non-essential" means. I'm guessing if this is true, they're bolstering supply of critical products that are in high demand?

Lockdown is pointless as cure, unless you lockdown forever.

The only reason country's currently lockdown is to get relief of the hospital systems that's it everybody will get effected one way or the other. this virus ain't going away.
Did you read the paper , I did , firts lock down to flatten the curve , and don’t overload health care , after this immunization.

Also to many deaths if you start the other way around .

No, Ive just been taking Emergen-C, Zinc, and Vitamin D supplements. Not a ton of them just once a day. I think its honestly just the stress

You canalso protect yourself like this: wear gloves, a new sealed mask everyday, wash hands often and stop touching your face.

edited to remove comment about effectivity of supplements.

Most folks are deficient in all three.

That aside, C and Zinc are water-soluble, so unless you can be assured you're getting enough through your diet, supplementation is the way to go.

There's enough evidence to suggest that dosing extra helps your immune system handle an increased workload (like when fighting off disease).

Not sure why you would say "they do nothing".

Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to have protective effects against respiratory infections, even when not deficient.

In any case, I hope you're being safe.

Take care.

Iran issued a dire warning on the coronavirus outbreak's rapid spread, suggesting "millions" could die in the country if the public keeps travelling and ignoring health guidance.

The Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a religious ruling prohibiting "unnecessary" travel in the country.


Shit getting bad in Iran. I hope there are no countries still allowing travel from Iran at this point.

From the peer review section:

Comment 2: Table 2 indicates that this effect is predominantly seen in those aged 1.1-15.9 years (P<0.001), with normal BMI (P=0.02) and without co-existing asthma (P=0.04) and yet these findings are not mentioned in the results

To which the authors replied

In order to minimise the chance of type 1 error arising from multiple analyses, significance was only inferred where P values for treatment-covariate interaction terms were <0.05.’

Type 1 error is a false positive: when you conclude the data proves your point but turns out it doesn't.

My statistic knowledge is quite basic so hopefully someone with a better understanding can look at it, but what I read there is with the data they had the risk of a type 1 error was too high and being more strict on age, bmi and asthma reduced the probability which means their results are that the effect is mostly seen in those that are below 16 years, have a normal bmi and do not have asthma.

In any case my intention was not to preach about vitamin use, but rather being worried that some people believe in them enough not to take precautionary measures. I'll edit my previous post.

4 days in row no increase in new cases for Italy. This is good news and they're on route following China. Hopefully we are a few days away from declining.
