General Info

In the worst flu season in recent years (not 1918) about 80,000 Americans died.

The best (data) modeler in the world, in the UK, forecast 1.1-2.2 million dead in the USA, depending on measures taken. This is on top of all the other diseases that don't go away just because we have a new virus, and people who could have easily survived whatever they have but for the overwhelmed health care system.

Half of the people on ventilators are younger folks. Even if they don't die there could be scars for life, literally, in their lungs. There are lots of examples of young people dying within days, I think because they were in close contact with a spreader. A big dose means you get a lot sicker.

The fact that so many people on here (and everywhere) dismiss the fears as hoaxes or compare it to the flu means this thing will get out of control, everywhere. I'll bet with anyone that the curve will not be brought down until it's too late.

[QUOTE=GoodEnough;2437074]Granted the Philippines has far more limited public health resources than Korea, Singapore and the US. However, it jumped all over this much more quickly than did the US with strict quarantine measures and business shut downs. It's my hope that the curve here will start to flatten over the next couple of weeks, proving that the measures are have a positive effect. I'm on home quarantine and not permitted to go out for any reason other than medically related. Virtually all of my friends who are 60+ (virtually all of them) are in the same situation.

Just some shit from my girlfriend:

One of our relatives in my dad's side passed away from CoViD. He's a famous cardiologist in the Philippine Heart Center. 😢128546;128546;.

There are two doctors who died in that same hospital in Manila.

They said that it was from a patient who wasn't honest enough to tell that he got travel history in Japan.

There are four more doctors who are considered as Person Under Investigation. They've been quarantined.

Yes. That's why my sister's clinic in front of our house was closed after the outbreak.

My sister's patients were seen in the hospital. Not in her clinic.

But she minimized her clinic hours. There's a couple who are both anesthesiologist had CoViD. The husband died already. His wife is still fighting for her life. They only got one kid who has autism. 😢128546;128546;.

I pray that this will be over soon.

I doubt even with 6 months of isolation it will not flare up again. My view is that there should be 6 weeks intense preparation, look for best treatment then support at risk people to stay isolated and allow everyone else get back to normal. Yes there will be casualties but given many people don't show symptoms the risk of flareups after isolation is too great. Allow it to burn out for 12 months then bring out the at risk.

Then the added comment that the fact he was neglected to tell them he / she had visited Japan, ? It a hospital, you think they might do a couple of tests and if someone is contagious they would protect themselves ESPECIALLY with this deadly disease.

Not likely. So AR 3 Doctors have died in the Philippines but no where else in the world so far?

Stop spreading stupid shit.

PP.

I understand the serious challenges that frontline medical professionals are facing, especially when they're running short of protective equipment. In some of these stories you also have to wonder about sanitation and patient protocol practices. This is obviously a very contagious virus. Comparisons to the common flu are badly misplaced. We in the states would be better off if we could silence the loudmouth-in-chief and let the real experts tell us what is going on. I fear that state governors are being set up as the bad guys.

So you don't read any stuff from eminent news sites. Fox. OAN, Breibart etc clearly feeds the masses with garbage that you sadly believe PP.

Facts are facts and I suggest you read the links then tone it down because it reminds of the phrase that goes 'the more you open your mouth the more stupid you show you are' LOL.

I would not wish this virus and anyone especially in third world countries where testing and recovery is a lottery or just for the rich (and I include USA on that list).

[QUOTE=AussieGaigin;2437507]It has been mentioned in media here recently that one of the doctors in China who were involved in the discovery of the virus, had died from it.[/QUOTE]Yes true, and there have been several doctors who have been infected died from coronavirus, especially in Italy and Spain! Also, it's a big concern here in the United States where we have major concerns about a lack of personal protective equipment to protect medical providers from the disease. I tell you man. You just have to wonder about some people sometimes and WTF is going on in their heads, and where they get their information from. SMDH!

[QUOTE=AussieGaigin;2437507]It has been mentioned in media here recently that one of the doctors in China who were involved in the discovery of the virus, had died from it.[/QUOTE]Only in Italy, the number of doctors who have died is in the double digits.

Of course many, many more will die before this is over.

I keep reading about thousands of new ventilators being needed worldwide in addition to the thousands already in service, Does anyone with real knowledge know what percentage of patients who are placed on ventilators survive and leave the hospital cured? I have always thought being on a ventilator has extremely poor outcomes. I'm sure there is some difference depending on country but the few people I know of who went on a ventilator died in the hospital. My thinking is its a way to bill the insurance company and patients family for a life extending measure. I have a "Do Not Resuscitate" order so I don't think I would be put on one unless my healthcare appointee agreed.

There is a difference between the doctor that is trying to save your life and the company that owns the hospital that makes all the pricing and shit. Just visit a military hospital and see how many people are on ventilators. There is not too much billing of insurance companies in those. The government is footing that bill themselves.

I have to agree that coronavirus has make it harder for us mongers to score easily.

I can not speak for others cities but here where I am in the province it hasn't affect me much, if anything coronavirus help me score more on the last month than on January and February. Let me explain my circumstances so you can understand my situation.

I've been staying with my girlfriend since I arrived in the Philippines on January (we are in a serious relationship just so you know), so during January and February I was only able to meet girls on the weekends when my GF agree for me to go out with her best friend BF for drinks most weekends. Not that I wasn't successful with the dates I had, but at most I was only able to scored 1 or 2 girls a week.

Then the Coronavirus came strong on March and it was all over the news everyday and it panic her to the point that she didn't want to go out anymore (we used to go out almost everyday, specially in Cebu). So basically everytime I go out for running and grocery shopping by myself almost always I end up in a short hotel with my new dates, I'm only out for 3 hours, maximum 4 hours so that my GF won't get suspicious, that's enough time to do the deed. I've been able to get around 3-4 girls a week the last month. It also helps that the last month I was lay off temporary from my online fulltime job because of Coronavirus, so I had more time to chat girls on Cupid, Tinder, Facebook, Pinalove and Badoo.

So yeah Coronavirus help me in my case.

By the way, I agree most airbnb condos don't allow visitors anymore because of the virus, so your best option is to bring your girl to a short hotel, it cost only 300 php for 3 hours. At first I thought it was going to be hard to convince a girl to come to a short hotel, but is very easy. I just tell them that I'm staying with a friend on his parents house so I can not bring them there. They always believe me and they are ok going to a short hotel. I had 4 girls going on the first date to the short hotel, the rest will go on the second date, so if that's the case make sure the first date is a short one, just 1-2 hours for coffee, if she drinks and gets drunk more likely she will go on the first date. Just buy beer in 7 eleven drink in the park or plaza since there are not bars and nightlife anymore, you have to UP your daygame now, because of the lockdown and curfews everything is done during the day.

[/QUOTE]Can I ask why if you are in a serious relationship with a girlfriend in the Philippines, that you go and search for more pussy on the weekend in her backyard? I am assuming your girlfriend, with whom you are in a serious relationship with, obviously approves of what you are doing. Otherwise, the situation could turn bad rather quickly in the provinces.
