Cade Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Guardian is carrying a report claiming that between 10% and 20% of people in hospital who had Covid-19 caught it in hospital. That's a shocking statistic and underlines the lack of PPE and proper quarantine protocols that had been identified as weaknesses during the last big pandemic test excercise. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/17/hospital-patients-england-coronavirus-covid-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old school so I don't feel the need for safe spaces around different views so don't head for the ignore button. I'll settle for judging a country's economy on what it spends and earns along with the debt to GDP ratio, size of the public sector etc. I'm sure lenders across the world and the IMF agree with me on that . I do appreciate, however, that some may prefer woolly ideas like "hope", "potential", "fairness" and the worst of all "progressive", whatever the @#$% that means, in judging a country's economic abilities.

graygo Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 A report from Italy suggesting that the disease has been misdiagnosed, apologies for the long text. I don't have a link to the original. Autopsies Prove that COVID-19 is a Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (Pulmonary Thrombosis) It is now clear that the whole world has been attacking the so-called Coronavirus Pandemic wrongly due to a serious pathophysiological diagnosis error. According to valuable information from Italian pathologists, ventilators and intensive care units were never needed. Autopsies performed by the Italian pathologists has shown that it is not pneumonia but it is Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (Thrombosis) which ought to be fought with antibiotics, antivirals, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants. If this is true for all cases, that means the whole world is about to resolve this novel pandemic earlier than expected. However, protocols are currently being changed in Italy who have been adversely affected by this pandemic. The impressive case of a Mexican family in the United States who claimed they were cured with a home remedy was documented: three 500 mg aspirins dissolved in lemon juice boiled with honey, taken hot. The next day they woke up as if nothing had happened to them! Well, the scientific information that follows proves they are right! This information was released by a medical researcher from Italy: “Thanks to 50 autopsies performed on patients who died of COVID-19, Italian pathologists have discovered that IT IS NOT PNEUMONIA, strictly speaking, because the virus does not only kill pneumocytes of this type, but uses an inflammatory storm to create an endothelial vascular thrombosis.” In disseminated intravascular coagulation, the lung is the most affected because it is the most inflamed, but there is also a heart attack, stroke and many other thromboembolic diseases. In fact, the protocols left antiviral therapies useless and focused on anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting therapies. These therapies should be done immediately, even at home, in which the treatment of patients responds very well. If the Chinese had denounced it, they would have invested in home therapy, not intensive care! So, the way to fight it is with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants. An Italian pathologist reports that the hospital in Bergamo did a total of 50 autopsies and one in Milan, 20, that is, the Italian series is the highest in the world, the Chinese did only 3, which seems to fully confirm the information. In a nutshell, the disease is determined by a disseminated intravascular coagulation triggered by the virus; therefore, it is not pneumonia but pulmonary thrombosis, a major diagnostic error. Some world leaders doubled the number of resuscitation places in the ICU, with unnecessary exorbitant costs. According to the Italian pathologist, treatment in ICUs is useless if thromboembolism is not resolved first. “If we ventilate a lung where blood does not circulate, it is useless, in fact, nine (9) patients out of ten (10) will die because the problem is cardiovascular, not respiratory.” “It is venous microthrombosis, not pneumonia, that determines mortality.” According to the literature, inflammation induces thrombosis through a complex but well-known pathophysiological mechanism. Unfortunately, what the scientific literature said, especially Chinese, until mid-March was that anti-inflammatory drugs should not be used. Now, the therapy being used in Italy is with anti-inflammatories and antibiotics, as in influenza, and the number of hospitalized patients has been reduced. He also discovered that many deaths, even in their 40s, had a history of fever for 10 to 15 days, which were not treated properly. The inflammation does a great deal of tissue damage and creates ground for thrombus formation. However, the main problem is not the virus, but the immune hyperreaction that destroys the cell where the virus is installed. In fact, patients with rheumatoid arthritis have never needed to be admitted to the ICU because they are on corticosteroid therapy, which is a great anti-inflammatory. With this important discovery, it is possible to return to normal life and open closed deals due to the quarantine, though not immediately, but with time. Kindly share so that the health authorities of each country can make their respective analysis of this information, prevent further deaths and redirect investments appropriately; the vaccine may come later.

The flip side of that is they shouldn't be able to prevent others getting vaccinated for things. The issue is, some people, such as Jambo-Jimbo's kid, have legitimate reasons for not vaccinating. For these people to be protected by herd immunity everyone else has to be vaccinated.

When we vaccinate everyone that can be vaccinated those that can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, such as people with allergies to ingredients, people that are immunocompromised and babies under the age that vaccines are given at, are protected. Additionally, some people won't develop antibodies after being vaccinated if they are a non-responder or if there is a manufaturing error in the vaccine that they have received.

Other split shifts or even days between trades. There are sites beginning to open and I've noticed a few roadworks getting done that would normally cause chaos. Regarding your last sentence. That's true with a fair amount of boys on site regarding ppe pre covid. I'd imagine a few boys may get red carded over the new measures. Hopefully not.

Taiwan is practically unscathed. Throw in Hong Kong too It's almost as if the mask wearing countries are doing better... Anyone still scoffing at masks are thick as mince See above. 25 million population and less than 100 deaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's geographically advantaged, was quicker to react than most in closing it's borders and crucially is one of the least densely populated countries on the planet Not really a comparable case study to heavily dense Asian nations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a small percentage of the population refuse the Vaccine, there is always a chance that the Virus can mutate and render the initial vaccine useless. The measles outbreak in the USA last year is an example of how easy it can be to lose herd immunity. But hey, the thousands of preventable deaths are okay because you didn’t infringe on people’s rights to be complete f****** idiots. I no exactly how it works. I'm still not putting it in my body, until it's proven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, the most densely populated city in australia is Sydney with 1,900 people per square km by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
