In the US, there’s always the risk of people not getting tested due to fear of medical bills. The Miami Herald reported that a man who had traveled to China and developed flu-like symptoms after returning home was charged $3,270 for diagnostic tests at the hospital (it turned out he had the flu). It’s easy to envision a scenario where many sick people avoid getting tested for Covid-19 because they fear what it’ll cost.
Seems very suspect for a start, for a start not everyone with COVID has a sore throat.
Here is a table of symptoms of 1099 patients all across different parts of China have experienced:
Dont forget the musicians. They have to be front, left and centre when formatting a response.There are people I give more of a shit about tbh. Everyone else, for example.

And the caterers for the car show? And the taxi drivers ferrying people to and from the airport? And the hotels? I'm not a car show fan either but a lot of people depend on events generally for a living and a high proportion of them are so-called 'self employed' (ie. no work no pay).I actually do care about musicians because I am one and because I like music. But people at a car show? Nah. We can live without car shows.
There is likey to be a band at the car show. Essential income for musicians the convention and conferences sector.I actually do care about musicians because I am one and because I like music. But people at a car show? Nah. We can live without car shows.
What does "Presence of Primary Composite End Point" mean?
Is 'yes' dead and 'no', not dead?
Why isnt the WHO telling the world clearly what they need to do to stop spread?
Can they not advise about closing schools and stopping large gatherings? Why cant someone make a fucking decision and just say to world...stay indoors for the next x days...and nobody flies/ sails/ rails/ drives / walks in or out of the country for the next 60 days. Let the fucker burn itself out.
Sorry. ..I know thats a shit post. Just pissed off in general at attitudes. Even at work where i am. The laisse faire smugness ...",ah sure we'll be grand...got through the foot and mouth and the swine flu thing".
CDC and Washington state officials said in a telebriefing that the patient is a male US resident who arrived at Seattle-Tacoma airport on January 15, 2020. The patient did not have a fever at the time of arrival, and the flight was not a direct flight from Wuhan.
Additionally, the patient did not go to implicated animal markets in Wuhan, nor did he report close contact with an ill individual.
The patient had apparently researched the virus online, and upon developing symptoms reached out to his health care provider on January 19th. 2019-nCoV was confirmed on the 20th using samples shipped overnight. Public health officials from Washington indicated that the patient was hospitalized out of precaution but in overall good condition.
The man who tested positive for coronavirus in Shenzhen after flying from London last Thursday had been working in Bristol, the Chinese authorities have confirmed.
A statement from the Guangdong Health Commission late on Sunday said authorities in Shenzhen had reported an “imported case” of the coronavirus infection, in a 35 year old male from Shenzhen who had been working in Bristol.
According to the statement, the patient had travelled to Hong Kong from London on 27 February, on flight CX250 on Cathay Pacific. He landed in Hong Kong at 13:27 and at 15:30 took the ferry 3A 09 to Shekou port and entered mainland China at 16:32.
His temperature was normal at the time of his arrival. At 16:45 he left from Shekou port and took a taxi to his home in Futian, a district of Shenzhen. “The patient wore a face mask the entire time,” the statement said.
On 29 February around 7am, the patient suffered from symptoms including a cough and fever. Around 10am he was driven to the hospital by family. That evening he tested positive for the virus and around 11pm he was transferred to Shenzhen no 3 hospital for treatment and quarantine. The statement said that at the moment the patient’s condition was “stable.”
The statement said that the patient had no history of travel to Hubei and that two of his colleagues in the UK had shown symptoms of cough and fever. Health authorities said that 93 close contacts of the patient had been identified.
Here we go then...
So expect another zero on the end of all those this time next week. If testing can keep up.Yeah, confirmed cases obviously dont tell the whole story, but here are numbers for a handful of countries I picked, to give a sense of what trends we might expect in terms of confirmed cases. Numbers below are a week ago, 23rd Feb, compared to today.
South Korea 763 -> 3736
Italy 153 -> 1128
Germany 16 -> 117
France 11 -> 100
We'll all be dead by next weekend.Here we go then...

I've been building a Brexit stock for months. Mainly rice, pasta, tinned fruit, tinned beans of all descriptions, powdered milk, water, tea, coffee, sugar, butter. And custard cream biscuits. Medical grade gloves, FFP3 mask, goggles, detergent, disinfectants.
I think I've enough to live without leaving the house for 6 months at least.
My parents thought I was nuts. Maybe I am.
I'll probably get the feckin virus now after all that.
