Hi! This is The **** Has Hit The Fan weekend.
Get your pandemic support team organized. 5 adults is good.
For instance, someone in my team was stranded with a car problem this morning. Another person who knows to keep distance etc. "jumped" their car. Everyone safe.

someone had asked why Germany had so few deaths - another possibility is because they are not testing post-mortem

That was me wondering. I doubt Germany is overlooking a significant number of deaths. I think your own theory about the virus having been introduced earlier in Italy than it was in Germany is better. (At least I think that was you theory???)Last edited by Emily; March 13, 2020, 06:19 PM.

Message from COVID-19 survivor treated in Nebraska:
Carl Goodman became infected with the coronavirus after sailing on the Diamond Princess cruise ship which was quarantined in Japan.
"Stress is probably one of the worst things you could have with the virus because stress contributes to breaking down the immune system. I've done everything in my world to keep stress out of my life in what could be a very, very stressful situation," Goodman said. "I realize it's totally out of my control and really practice trying to learn to stay in the present, not worry about the past and also don't make up stories about what the future might bring. Just stay in the present. And that's helped me get through this."_____________________________________________

Something to keep in mind is that heart attacks, at least in women, can first present as flu-like symptoms.

Some notes from a hospitalist near Seattle over the past week that might help others prepare in other parts of the country: Have a clear and proactive (rather than just reactive) strategy for all of the following areas, even if that strategy changes day to day
"If you could for a moment rise up out of your own beloved skin and appraise ant, human, and virus as equally resourceful beings, you might admire the accord they have all struck in Africa. Back in your skin of course, you'll shriek for a cure. But remember: air travel, roads, cities, prostitution, the congregation of people for efficient commerce - these are gifts of godspeed to the virus"

East Asia did it with masks and they succeeded. I don't remember that
hand-washing was recommended there.
Now WHO,USA,Europe propagate hand hygiene and not wearing masks. Why ?

Because there are still world supplies of soap, and it is quick and easy to manufacture [and it is theoretically easy to train people how to use it correctly].Originally posted by gsgs View PostNow WHO,USA,Europe propagate hand hygiene and not wearing masks. Why ?
We know that masks are in short supply internationally - one of the news clips I saw here in NZ tonight had a close up of a fully suited worker (I believe in the US) - they only had a 'nuisance dust' mask, nothing even remotely resembling the proper gear, if front line workers are reduced to that . . .

Ronan,Emily , wrt. the few German deaths
I'll search the tweet ... it was in German. The "earlier" theory seems to apply to France,Spain,... as well. Still they have much more deathsI'm interested in expert panflu damage estimates

I also want to say something about "panic".
Many officials talk about avoiding this. It is ok to "panic". A normal reaction to being told we are in a pandemic.
If you feel yourself "losing it". Own it. Admit how you feel & work it out.
Deep breathing. Regroup, & continue.

About getting a small pandemic support group....
We will all need help - from small things to big.
Find someone you can partner with. Or a few people.
Make a friend w/ a neighbor. Introduce yourself & offer to cooperate.
We need each other. https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/internet-communication/avian-flu-diary/831424-time-to-line-up-a-%60flu-buddy…
