Have Spring/Fall allergies like I do and you feel like shit regardless of getting it or not.

Coronavirus reaches Ramsey County, Minnesota: What we know, latest updates

Coronavirus has spread to Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has confirmed Minnesota’s first presumptive case of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, health officials announced on Friday, March 6.

The department said the infected person is an older resident who lives in Ramsey County. The patient began showing symptoms on Feb. 25 and sought health care a week later after traveling on a cruise ship with a known COVID-19 case.

The MDH is working to identify individuals who may have had contact with the individual. Here's what we know so far about the virus' spread to Minnesota.

Is the patient under quarantine?
The MDH says the patient is currently isolated at home and recovering. The incubation period for the virus is believed to be 2-14 days so quarantines are recommended to last just as long.

What cruise line was this Minnesota resident on?
The MDH has declined to specify which cruise the patient was on and when. Two major cruises have dealt with the fallout of the virus during the global health threat.

Passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise in Japan were kept aboard the ship in February where hundreds of cases were reported. A plane returned American passengers to the US after the quarantine on board reportedly failed. Roughly 400 of those people were quarantined against at a US Air Force before returning home.

On March 5, the Grand Princess cruise was anchored off the coast of California after a patient who was on board the ship in mid-February died. Company officials said the elderly man had come into contact with passengers and crew who are currently aboard the ship.

The ship is docked more than 50 miles off the coast of northern California with more than 3,500 people aboard. The National Guard delivered coronavirus test kits to the ship by helicopter Thursday.

Many of those people collapsing with COVID-19 in those vids have what’s called abnormal posturing:

Abnormal posturing - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Fencing response - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

When I saw that, about a month back, my first reaction was “Oh crap, this is neurological.”

If someone goes down with a heart attack or hypoxemia, you usually see variations in posture, not this uniform extension of the legs.

We know from the papers that are available that the virus can attack the medulla. Brain stem issues can lead directly to collapse and abnormal posturing like this. We also know the virus can cause cerebrovascular issues. It can attack the blood vessels of the brain. This can also cause abnormal posturing due to hypoxia of the brain.

Malta's first coronavirus cases are girl and parents

Updated Saturday 7pm The first cases of coronavirus in Malta have been confirmed, Health Minister Chris Fearne said on Saturday. The first patient was a 12-year-old Italian girl and was previously in self-quarantine. She is now being kept inside an infectious diseases unit of Mater Dei Hospital...

timesofmalta.com

Tiny island halfway between Italy and Africa has it. Amazed that it lasted held out as long as it did as its a prime tourist attraction. Italians have made a balls up of containment and handling of the virus. Death toll in Italy is around 200, the highest outside of China iirc.

Shit. The Boomers really are going to kill us all. When possible apocalyptic virus scenarios entered my head, I never imagined the Harbingers of the Red Death would be an army of Hawaiian shirt-clad grayhairs driving scooty puffs with "We're spending our children's inheritance" bumper stickers on them.

Like I said in another post somewhere, be careful when comparing things like "recovered" from country to country. They are based on local reporting standards. Canada and the US tend to be the most over the top honest and conservative in their reporting of Medical Data. So recovered for them probably means 3 clean tests and no further symptons. For China it may mean they have simply become asymptomatic or the Pneumonia has past. It's actually not in the nature of North American Physicians to ever declare anyone "cured", less exacting terms such as "recovered" or "in remission" they will cautiously use but generally only after exhausting every other option to find something still wrong with you. About the only positive statement you will typically get from an American Doctor is "That is healing nicely".

In this video, the guys explain the reporting standards in China. Doctors have a limit to how many corona virus cases they are allowed to report, it's 500 - any deaths beyond that have to be explained another way. China is running factories with no workers, producing nothing, to give the impression manufacturing is coming back.

It's not - at least in Wuhan and areas around it. Separate from the video, Foxconn is still soliciting workers from other provinces, offering to run them to work in shuttles for 3 - 4 day shifts. They have a medical team on premises at 2 factories, but they can't pay people enough to have a full workforce.

One of the other things they talk about is the likelihood of political revolution. There's not one, no one gets news in most places. People with smartphones have one app that gives them news and it's controlled by the CCP. In cities, people have VPNs and get information from elsewhere, but they don't care. If you handed out VPN connections to everyone in China, the vast majority would not use them.

This is bad. China's fake economy is now being faked while people continue to die, they've just found better ways to hide the bodies. And the leader of the WHO is a Communist, he goes along with the plan because he believes China is a utopia.

You do realise that these videos are a load of shit right? They're not related to Corona Virus whatsoever.
It's Corona Virus. It may be novel/new, in the sense of it's strand, but it's not some new thing outright, people know how corona virus behaves.

Jesus christ everyone is being so autistic.... maybe the world should be cleansed.

More autism.

Who the fuck needs that much toilet paper? Darling if you need more than 2 of those in a month you got bigger problems and if society falls apart to the point where you can't get shit paper after a month then you also have bigger problems.

In general you have bigger problems because YOUR A FATASS.

So... waving isn't a thing for the WHO? or bowing. Or any verbal salute? Fucking NAZI salute is where they went! Dear WHO. Stop making it easy to make jokes about your incompetence.

Yes, this was totally legit infographic officially released by WHO and definitely not digitally altered by replacing parts of 4chan shitpost with WHO logo.

Why the fuck would anyone want a second industrial revolution when the first was a disaster?

Hippies should really be sent to China for spare parts - I hear they need lots of donors for double lung transplants.

Small update from Poland for anyone who cares: our first coronavirus patient (already talked about him in previous posts) brought the virus in from Germany. He came back on Sunday morning by bus, developed symptoms on the same day and followed the right procedures. So far over 40 people on the same bus were reportedly tracked down and tested, all came up negative except for one: a woman who developed symptoms after five days. Said to be a mild case.

That's one of the cases announced yesterday; the remaining ones are a young guy flying in from Nottingham via Ryanair, feeling "very good", and a couple (I've heard they're over 60 years old, but most sources call them "middle-aged", so not sure what's up) who are stable.

Actually, since I started writing this a sixth case was announced: some foreign citizen (so likely German) travelling in the same bus as the first guy. Again he's said to be feeling well.

Not sure what to think right now, so far the response appears to be swift and comprehensive and the infected people are behaving responsibly, but healthcare here is notoriously underfunded, there are reports about tests taking too long and some opposition politicians are going full conspiracy mode, accusing the government of deliberately hiding the real spread of the virus. People aren't panicking though and neither will I.

A while ago took a relative to a local bank. Relative needed to discuss something with a banker.

Everything went normally, meaning no wipes, no hand sanitizer, hands shaken all around, coming and going. I know I don't go everywhere, or even that many places, but wherever I go, things are basically normal. Only thing unusual was being given a wipe at Costco last week to wipe down shopping cart handle. Didn't happen yesterday. Fully expect the weekly trip to the commissary tomorrow to be normal, too.

In my humble opinion most people aren't buying into the media-induced hysteria. "Oh, no! New York State has close to 50 cases of the WuFlu!" New York State's population is nearly 20 million. Just keeping things in perspective.

Keep things in perspective: We've done only ~2,000 tests so far across the entire c o u n t r y. This is part of the reason the feds are dragging their feet on making the kits available.

It’s absolutely true that 70% is the ideal mix to make viruses and bacteria explode, I dunno why you peeps are doing anything with it, just rub your hands down with 70% and you’re good to go.

I'd always like to push shit to the limit. Fuck yeah give me that 90% shit. Had to rethink how I approached things in life after reading that study about the 70%being more effective.

The Tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist in me says liberal politicians are purposely mishandling the disease hoping to infect all the old people who vote more conservatively.

I'm thinking Trump is dragging his feet because him and his buddies need time to divest of any free falling stocks before the economy shits the bed good and proper. That's why he started fucking with the fed rate. So he could try to bump things up enough to sell of.

It is just like the flu because it literally is the flu.
Corona virus is the flu in many cases.
Don't contribute to the gaggle of autists being extra. This whole thing is being hyped coz the 24/7 news cycle wants it to be.

On the one hand a lot of people right now DO INDEED have the seasonal flu and are extra paranoid because of the news cycle but on the other hand we've only tested like 2k people in the entire US.

I thought he was still in prison for that memorabilia store robbery.

I am honestly starting to get really mad about the US response to the virus. The media and the democrats (but I repeat myself) just cant stop shrieking about how bad orange man is bad on the issue.

Can they just for one moment give it a fucking rest? If anything the Trump Administration has been on the bleeding edge of this disaster. These same media outlets howled about racist hysteria back in February when the CDC quarantine orders on China travel went into effect.

This is the sort of scenario where our society needs to form a united front. Trying to score political points over it is abhorrent.

The only good thing he's done so far is blocking air travel to China. Unfortunately that did fuck all on account of the fact that the Chinks were free to travel to Hong Kong and neighboring countries and catch flights to wherever from there. Sure the Trump haters would screech no matter what but his response HAS been piss poor and If I catch the goddamned super plague I want him and that CDC nigger to be held accountable. The buck stops with him. He should have followed through and started doing more shit after the flight ban.

I don't care if this is a Democrat or a Republican saying this shit. I'd hang him on his words alone. What the fuck is he jabbering on about? It's not his KDS ratio in counterstrike those are US citizens. Use military doods with hazmat/bioweapon training and the right protective equipment to evacuate all the people off the floating fucking petri dish to a quarantine zone set up on a military base. How fucking hard is that? What good reason is there for not doing it?

As requested to put up the recipe for the Bread Pudding.

Tales from the Po' mans file. Jojo's Ghetto-man Bread pudding.

This bread pudding recipe was given to me close to 40 years ago as I was getting an idea on what the hell to do next. It is very easy and cheap to make that easily rivals what you can get at a restaurant.

Ingredients:
One large mixing bowl.
Several bake pans/loaf pans of your choice. I use loaf pans.
20 to 24 oz of bread. It's about 1 16 oz size of dry sourdough and 8 slices of regular bread.
4 cups regular milk.
2 large eggs.
2 oz of raisin.s
20 maraschino cherries cut up into four pieces.
2 cans of undrained Fruit Cocktail. Keep the liquid in the can as you will use the whole thing.
1+ cup sugar.
1/2 to 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
1/8 to 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.
1 tsp vanilla extract.

Cinnamon/Sugar Mix.
4 parts sugar to 1 part ground Cinnamon.
1 clean spice shaker.

Brown Sugar Sauce (optional).
1 pot.
3 oz of brown sugar.
5 oz of sugar.
4+ oz of regular milk.

Vodka is optional.

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl you are going to mix milk, eggs, fruit, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla with a whisk. You could also whip the eggs before hand. Myself I just put everything in a large bowl and whipped it up together in a not do aggressive fashion. Just enough to mix up all of the ingredients together.

Next pour over bread and mix so all bread pieces soak up the liquid. Let it sit for 15 minutes or so.

I use 2, 6 quart plastic wash basins to soak my bread crumbs in. I mix it the best that I can and then flipping it over on to the second wash basin and let the contents soak for another 15 minutes. If there is not enough watery mixture left and your bread crumbs are too dry add some more milk into the mix.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wash-Basin-Rectangular-6-Qt-Rose-Sold-by-the-Each-Quantity-per-Each-1-EA-Category-Product-Class/127402814?wmlspartner=wmtlabs&adid=22222222222258399865&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=e&wl1=o&wl2=c&wl3=75316632102852&wl4=pla-4578916195815949:aud-807615483&wl5=&wl6=&wl7=& wl10=Walmart&wl12=127402814_10000000922&wl14=6 quart plastic wash basin&veh=sem

I use them because they are cheap and in certain cases when I have to mix things such as this it makes the job so much easier to do.

Next you are going to get several loaf pans. Smear the inside walls with butter that has salt in it, Most of your regular butter does have salt. Then you are going to powder the sides of the buttered loaf with flour. This will help with not making the bread pudding stick to the loaf pans.

Once the bread crumbs are nice and soggy You are going to pour the contents gently into the loaf pans, shaping them into loafs as best as you can, then place them in the oven for 30 minutes. I place my bread pudding loaves on the top rack.

While its cooking make up your cinnamon/sugar mix.Mix together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set it aside and if you are like me you already have a empty spare spice shaker for sprinkling home made mixtures. Otherwise you just have to be careful on how you sprinkle your cinnamon/sugar mix the old fashioned way. With your hands.

Next get an other pot and place your Brown Sugar Sauce contents into it and stir it under medium head. Stir until all of the sugar crystals have been dissolved. If you need to add more milk do so and set it aside.

OPTIONAL After it has cooled down very hot to medium hot you can add other ingredients to your sauce. Vanilla, Maple Syrup, Orange Extract, other spices, as well as Vodka. 1 to 2 oz of vodka and/or liquor of your choice. I generally add 1 to 2 oz of vodka. Sometimes I splash some of it on the warm bread pudding just out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes . IF it is too hot all you are doing is burning up the alcohol and that negates the purpose of it being used.

You can add other choices of alcohol, such as spiced rum or a good whiskey. But this is a ghetto bread pudding so cheap ass vodka will do nicely to get that mild hmmmm from it. And of course this is optional as it tastes great without it.

After 30 minutes pull out your bread pudding loaves and sprinkle it with your cinnamon sugar mixture and bake an additional 30+ minutes. After 30 minutes take it out and stick a fork into several different areas and if it does not stick to the surface of the fork its done. If there is stuff on the fork it needs to be cooked 5 to 15 minutes more. Check every 5 minutes to see if the bread pudding is finished. Total

Cooking time is over 1 hour.

Cut up your pudding into slices, add the sauce if you made it and serve. Any left overs and there will me a lot you can freeze for later, including the sauce.

Enjoy. Stay Clean... Keep safe... Listen to those with cool heads on this forum...

And of course Thank you Dr. Purr.

Spain news. 100 new infected. 30 recovered. Deaths rise to 10. The new dead are all post-mortem diagnosis through autopsy from past month. All spanish dead are 70+ and part of at least 1 more risk group. Situation generally seems to have gotten better for the hospital as the maybes and healthcare turists go away. "Centros de ocio para mayores" (centers of recreation for seniors) closed premptively, catalonia moves its marathon to next october. Jokes about "shit the catalonians are cooperating with the feds? It really is the end of the world!" And "would people please stop testing the dead? We're increasing corona's KDS!" Deployed to keep morale high. General situation quite well. Channel 5 is getting bitchy, I think I'll explain the situation with our media later.

 

[LolNoIPLeaksEvenLMFAO]

Apple has told all employees to work from home. Which is kind of fucking crazy because sure everyone could more or less, but they’re not huge fans of it for leak reasons. Also, apparently they were already building machines with Foxconn to produce shit in the US due to tariffs and so they could be morally superior about their stuff being more locally made (serious that’s the biggest reason climate change from shipping shit from china/potential tariffs). So they just have to get that done before their like half a trillion in cash reserves goes up which if they can’t pull that off wtf?

UK Cases as of 10am UK time was 164. An increase of 3.
