COVID-19 Don't Panic!

[TravisMac]

meant to ask if anyone's heard from @TravisMac ? thinking 'bout him & wondered how he's feelin'...

Thanks - hanging in there. Better than yesterday today in some ways and worse than other. I’m leaning towards this is just a really bad case of the flu based on the symptoms. I’ve finally kicked the fever but have traded it for a throat full of razor blades and swollen/sore lymph nodes

Hope that you recover quickly.  Did you get tested?  I have the flu strain B at the beginning of Feb.  Doctor gave me Tamaflu Rx and it knock it out quickly.

Flu test yes - it was negative. They wouldn’t test me for covid

I wonder how many times this happens to others and it is the virus?

According to the data from South Korea (they tested broadly, with symptoms and without) about 900k people are positive but haven’t gotten a test to confirm

Interesting short read:
 https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it

Snippet:

Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it

Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes.  The official names are:

Disease 

coronavirus disease 

(COVID-19)


Virus 
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 
(SARS-CoV-2)

 

Why do the virus and the disease have different names? 

Viruses, and the diseases they cause, often have different names.  For example, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.  People often know the name of a disease, such as measles, but not the name of the virus that causes it (rubeola).

There are different processes, and purposes, for naming viruses and diseases.

Viruses are named based on their genetic structure to facilitate the development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and medicines. Virologists and the wider scientific community do this work, so viruses are named by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).  

Diseases are named to enable discussion on disease prevention, spread, transmissibility, severity and treatment. Human disease preparedness and response is WHO’s role, so diseases are officially named by WHO in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).

ICTV announced “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)” as the name of the new virus on 11 February 2020.  This name was chosen because the virus is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003.  While related, the two viruses are different.   

WHO announced “COVID-19” as the name of this new disease on 11 February 2020, following guidelines previously developed with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

WHO Director-General's remarks at the media on 11 February 2020

WHO Situation Report on 11 February 2020

WHO and ICTV were in communication about the naming of both the virus and the disease.

Just to be clear, we’re still not panicking, correct?

The national debt is causing me to be slightly uncomfortable, but not panicking.  $1T in tax breaks to the rich last year; $2T+ to pay people to not work; What's next...college loan forgiveness and single-payer health insurance???

Maybe the President thinks he can file for bankruptcy for the country like his businesses?  All part of a the strategy maybe?

I believe you're on to something!  Crazy like a fox...he has fool proof plan (you know, a plan that proves you're a fool).

The problem is that Congress is/was complicit...SMH.
