The General Covid19 Thread

Hursty

Some incredible scenes from the south coast, no fucks given.

Mills will clear them with 3 hours of upfront chug.

So this is a thing that’s happening now:

Kells77 😂😂😂😂

Millsy

Mad_Cyril not a bad shout that MC. Would like to see them camp overnight next to the pier with 50db of ultra chug playing throughout the night.

Mad_Cyril

Literally wouldn’t know what hit them mate

Melons twisted

Along_the_Wire

Along_the_Wire Close the beaches.

Naaahhhh. No way mate. The beach is an essential source of minge-ogling ops.

What they should do is just execute anyone who tests positive for Corona. A bit of a hardline stance I grant you, but I bet everyone would start wearing masks on their Tesco runs.

rhouses I’m hearing SF is in bad shape and things are on the verge of taking off

No we’re good over here. We have the lowest hospitalization rate, lowest death rate, and highest testing rate of any metropolitan area in the country. We’ll see a jump in cases over the next month as things reopen, but we have plenty of ICU space. Of the 49 who have passed, all had major health conditions - many with multiple - including a woman who was 106 years old. If you’re reasonably healthy, the only thing to worry about is what you’re going to do with yourself for 10+ days in isolation. That WAS THE WORST.

jonattonyeah A few of my guys in TN have reported record numbers yesterday, but state entering Phase 3 of lockdown lifting which basically means back to normal .

As they say down there’ “Let Jesus take the wheel……”

jonattonyeah
We’re pretty good down here in SD too, but LA…not so much

rhouses

jonattonyeah That’s good news, I’ll let me friend know the same. He’s seeing the cases rise fast and seeing a lot of crowds at restaurants and such. He’s worried and staying put at home.

Bangalore seems to have the same story as SF, going by what you’re saying.

Mad_Cyril

Texas seem to have called a halt to reopening.

See global cases are climbing where it has the potential to go postal, eg. South America.

Be ‘funny’ if C19 ‘pivots’ and takes us all down because we’re such a smug, self obsessed race

Mad_Cyril we need a population check, there’s simply too many of us. if muppets won’t stop having 5 kids, i would assume that nature will take over the job at some point. no politician will ever sell it and it’ll never happen, but a one child policy for the entire world would be a good start.

Phil-McRackin

My boy is an only child and he’s a fucking lunatic. A world full of them could be much worse.

Old-Dutch

If only Millsy could have done a chug set on the beach. Problem solved

jonattonyeah

Cases don’t matter that much to us at SFDPH, nor do we care that much about State cases. Most are asymptomatic or have minor issues (like myself). Cases are more about testing. The more the better, honestly. We care about hospitalizations and our R-naught. Current hospitalization capacity stands at 8% in San Francisco. 30% State-wide. Plenty of space. R-naught is just above 1 in both Alameda County and San Francisco. Goal is below 1.00 but 1.06 and 1.08 is good enough for the time being.

Now what is alarming is the positivity rate. We were hovering around 4-4.5% for a while there. Given what I heard today, it’ll be close to 6% by Monday. Still below the 8% barrier, but too damn close. But, once again, that’s statewide. I’ll know our data in SF on Sunday.

If your friend has any pointed questions, ask away.

rhouses

jonattonyeah I’ll keep him posted, thanks for sharing. Had no clue what R-naught was.

Was chatting to someone I know who had covid….he said the most alarming symptom was a pick up in his heart rate to 160 bpm… second person i know with that symptom (the other is still struggling to recover after nearly 3 months)….both in their 40s. He went for lots of heart checkups in the aftermath although has since recovered. Anyway, a reminder - you don’t want this illness….humbling to me to hear this stuff. And when you see someone without a mask on public transport, feel free to start a fight with them 👍

bosstrabs

Also, there are some pretty nasty after-effects on the lungs (long-term damage) being reported.

Even a ‘full recovery’ it seems is often not a full recovery

I priced a job up for a theatre nurse yesterday who’s been working in the ICU as most operations have been put on hold. She said it’s heartbreaking trying to treat covid patients as there’s not a lot they can do apart from trying to make them as comfortable as possible.
