Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Turgid]

Quite right. There was a first wave which started in November in Western Europe and went unnoticed till end of January. There is already one retrospective confirmed case form a patient who died end of December. . If there are enough blood samples kept from patients hospitalized end of 2019 from "bizarre" pneumonia, we will find many more cases.

The conclusion is that we are now at the end of a "second wave". Should we fear a third wave after end of lock down? I don't believe so.

This is one of the most interesting things I've read about the coronavirus.

I entered Brazil in late October last year. I developed a cough which got worse from 1st November. For two weeks I had the worst bout of coughing I've ever had in my life which I treated with doctor prescribed medication. The coughing always got worst when I lay down at nights and was so bad that I could not sleep many nights. It lasted two weeks after which I had some respiratory problems. I have a friend who had the exact same experience back home around the same time. Makes me wonder.

But only few were infected, about 6% in France, and recovering is not full immunity, when more and more obese, diabetics, with lungs or heart problems, who are at risk. Just after end of confined, German R0 increased, but they controlled below 1. With sun, people want now to go to the beach which will become full crowded, when not many swim.

All I know is it's time to eat! It's dinner time everybody! Yum, yum! Hahahahaha! Call me many things, but don't call me late for dinner LOL!

I'm afraid Batman has become too much of a cliche. I am more drawn to the sad but touching stories of Dr. Michael Morbius, Ph.D, and Professor "Bat-woman" Zhengli.

Yahoo news:

"A new study from Chinese scientists found coronavirus particles in the semen of 16% of the male patients studied.

The virus was present in semen from both patients who had active infections and those who had recovered.

The researchers aren't sure yet whether the virus can be spread through sexual contact. ".

Seem spreading started on October, after military sport competition in Wuhan, but at this time, nobody knew what it was.

Sounds like death is a booming business. Can't think why we don't have more of it. Highly underrated, death. One of the few growth sectors in the economy in these otherwise dark days.

"if it's a straightforward, garden-variety pneumonia that a person is admitted to the hospital for if they're Medicare typically, the diagnosis-related group lump sum payment would be $5,000. But if it's COVID-19 pneumonia, then it's $13,000, and if that COVID-19 pneumonia patient ends up on a ventilator, it goes up to $39,000."

The US Healthcare System is a Black Comedy that pretty much writes itself without any help from me. I would trust the data coming out of there about as much as the carvings of the Bushmen of Wagga Wagga Land.

Not saying that US healthcare system or our reimbursement and pricing models are perfect. But the article sources a broadcast network and a specific person with a political angle and an ax to grind. Our payment and reimbursement is a complicated system and not something that can be summed up in a few simple sentences on a sex forum. Europeans are mostly on a state paid system and don't have to deal with these things, and if you feel that works for you, it's great. I have to say though, I have observed that you personally seem to have some sort of anti US bias due to whatever reason, perhaps some past slight you suffered? And you do take a few potshots at the US and our systems and ways whenever the opportunity presents (or sometimes you go out of the way to create that opportunity). Considering that you hide you identity very guardedly (although BFsie one time said you live in DE) I don't see how this increases any credibility if you want to take these anonymous cheap shots at a country that does not seem to be your native land. Most of us are deferential to other countries and their peoples as that seems to be right thing to do on an international forum as ISG. However, feel free to continue your ways. Shalom.

Just like in P6 activities, in medical communities money motivates. I write this without evidence or first hand knowledge, so I will be careful with wording and punctuation. Is it true that in the US a hospital gets paid over 56 times more if a patients cause of death is ruled to be from COVID-19 rather than the flu? If the numbers are $17000 compared to $300 could this possibly motivate hospitals to find more COVID-19 deaths?

This interesting and genuinely informative and valuable guide on this issue comes from a country which was traditionally to sexual freedom what North Korea is to human rights (My own nation. Ireland).

TBH given such restrictions, I think I will wait until things calm down!

There is no safe sex during covid 19, if you are monger and going to monger, then just go hard, fuck Romanian prostitutes like a pride Pierre woodman LOL!

It is very complex to understand why some countries or even regions are hit so badly. Wearing masks, keeping social distancing seems to be the key drivers for success. What happen in France, Italy, Spain is just showing how weak those countries are becoming in protecting their citizens. East part of Germany is far less impacted (except Berlin) than Bayern, NRW. But when you look at a big city like Bremen the number of cases is very low, why. Overall the cities are much more impacted than the country side, also very true in the US. Why Greece which is in a bad economical situation for decades, whit a very old population, a weak health care system is so successful to fight covid 19, difficult for the moment to answer. For me, this disease is just having terrible consequences for most of us and we will have to pay for all the QE.

Right, France, Italy and Spain are weak countries and they have been for long time now. But they don't even notice this due to false pride and not knowing the world. So it maybe this corona virus thing was good lesson for them given by superior power China.

France, Spain and Italy used to be strong nations, but they are even on the edge of getting kicked out of G7 nations by economical figures, but they are more trust worthy than China, so they are given chance to stay in G7 and even though China is much stronger than France, Italy and Spain, China is out of G7 due to their credibility, unfortunately China cannot be trusted yet.

No, I don't believe much words in FKK land of lies, but I only believe what I see and experience, much more reliable for me. But you have to understand we experience from what we are and our behavior. I don't think Romanian beauties, others don't interest me.

Well romanians are everywhere and easy to find and very easy to get good service out of them for cheaper cost than germans, but they lie the most even their nationalities, so watch out because you tend to be so much into the stories they tell you LOL! Don't be naive in FKK, it is not right place to talk, it is place to fuck LOL!

[Sirioja]

You are one of very few who actually believe what prostitutes says to you in brothel LOL!

A patient is diagnosed as having Covid or not based on testing, and that happens much earlier than death itself. It is not as if a patient is coming into a hospital, he tested negative for Corona, the patient dies, and then the hospital changes the cause of death from flu or whatever to Corona. That would be illegal and it is not happening, and it is just another fake story / rumor.

Hospitals get paid based on services rendered, and codes that get attached to it. If a patient is put on a ventilator, there is a DRG code for such a service and gets billed accordingly. Whether a patient has Covid or something else and has to be given a ventilator, then it is true that a ventilator was provided and accordingly hospital will charge for such a service rendered.

This can be easily verified by comparing deaths from other illnesses to those during a similar period last year.

As for European death rates, it is lack of organization and not so much the fault of hospitals beside they failed to keep the bed open, but you don't have treatment for this like Avigan, which even in Japan we do not use on everybody because we cannot because numbers are still limited and are in production now. It is getting fully approved this month and first batch will be dispatched to world and to also to all Japanese hospitals. Till now, ministry of health decide who get avigan or not and had to sign clinical trial contract before, but avigan was working good on mild symptom patients with in 6 weeks of infections.

It is not because of just fat obese people they are dying, it is lack of government failed to save medical system and also your life style that is not hygiene enough and also your behavior of do not listen to the fact, masks are good example.

And hey, France had this virus since December by the way. We has it from January, but France did not even realize this virus till like March. So do the math. It is actually Europe who had it before Japan. And I was in Europe in Jan and Feb so I was lucky LOL.

I would add, when everybody except girls who experienced me know I'm a bad french guy, I remember my LR Eve telling me: You are my french man, so I told her: but you had others and even before me, so she answered: You are my only french man, then she wanted to put my hair in Romanian fashion style, meaning up on the head, I did hate this, I don't know why all girls want to touch my hair, when some say: don't touch my hair, but if french Woodman can be a model for way for sex for some, fortunately only porn comedy, because he is just a shame for french men, for me, for his image and sexual violent behavior. I'm not a specialist in porn, but I m surprised nobody thought to make a movie showing to men how to make love to a woman, then men should learn how to take care of a woman, then wife won t refuse boring sex as they say, having headache, my 2 last girlfriends were married before me and refused to have sex with their husband, as they said: they were only mother, I remember ex husbands faces when seeing ex wife full smiling with me, feeling woman, taking care of their look to be the prettiest for me as they said, last asking me to go with her to buy shoes, dresses, lingerie, not to pay but to choose, when sometimes I would have preferred to watch sports, but at least girls who sold laughed when seeing us choosing lingerie, for sure they shouldn't see many couples like us. Then, in this time and even without virus, married men could have wife asking for pleasure. I learned in my life women don t ask often for sex except when they want a baby, but they ask often for pleasure when they tasted and they can even become exhausting, so, no need to go to brothels, when girls tell me: many are married and look at me like a martian when I tell them: If I have a girlfriend, I will stay with her, I will build for her, then I don't need you anymore. Most of guys should think about deserving their wife, they didn't buy her with a ring and wedding. I always thought more value without, when we are free to leave when we want.

You are one of very few who actually believe what prostitutes says to you in brothel LOL!
