Forum Moderator Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Gents - This thread is about the Corvid 19 virus and its effects outside Thailand. It is not about US or French Politics. I have hidden a number of posts, the aim of which was nothing more than to wind up one member of this forum. Thank you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualung Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 52 minutes ago, fygjam said: Lung damage seen in recently asymptomatic coronavirus patient Disturbing video shows how COVID-19 ravaged the lungs of a patient who had been asymptomatic just days earlier. Dr. Keith Mortman, the chief of thoracic surgery at George Washington University Hospital, said the hospital created a 360-degree image of the lungs of a 59-year-old male patient who had been generally healthy except for a history of high blood pressure, CNN reported. In the scans, the yellow areas, which highlight the infected and inflamed regions, cover both of the lungs. “This is a guy who’s minding his own business and gets it,” Mortman told CNN. “If we were to repeat the [360-degree virtual reality images] now, that is one week later, there is a chance that the infection and inflammatory process could be worse.” The patient, who remains in critical condition in the ICU, has required a ventilator on the highest setting to breathe, CNN reported. Mortman said it’s not known whether the man will fully recover, since for some patients, the damage has so far been irreversible. “I want people to see this and understand what this can do,” Mortman said. “People need to take this seriously.” Most do, except the "let 'er rip" brigade. https://nypost.com/2020/03/26/lung-damage-seen-in-recently-asymptomatic-coronavirus-patient/ So if hypertension was the contributing factor... During 2015–2016, the prevalence of hypertension was 29.0% and increased with age: age group 18–39, 7.5%; 40–59, 33.2%; and 60 and over, 63.1%. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db289.htm I guess at least 1 in 3 of those 40yo or over should be in isolation.

I also don't watch those stupid movies about weird epidemics, vampires, zombies, or other things many people seem to think are one step from true stories. I was chatting with a plant safety officer at work today, trained EMT, former cop, etc. He was agreeing with me 100% about this being overblown, about people not understanding how full their bodies and their entire WORLDS are with bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Blamed it on the media same as me, etc. Like me, he also can't believe we're quarantining healthy people with no known risk factors, no positive test, etc., so that people with risk factors, including young folks who don't find out about their risk factors until it's too late or not at all, don't get sick. We also chatted, and agreed, about the negative effect things like hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays and wipes, etc. have on people. First, they give people a false sense of security that they live in a germ-free world, from which they are free to germ-shame and virtue signal toward those of us who know better and just want to get on with our lives. These people would hurl themselves out a high-floor window if they had any clue about how rich the bacterial flora are in their lives, including in their bodies. Also, the reduction in the bacteria and viruses in their environments in turn reduces the amount of bacteria and viruses their bodies have to confront. This makes their immune systems weak and "lazy", because they aren't continuously generating antibodies and fighting off infections. No telling how many "otherwise healthy young people" actually have immune systems weakened by decades or even an entire life spent douching themselves and everything around them with antiseptics. IMO, COVID-19 is as much a sickness of our society as it is a sickness of the body. It's a sick society that thinks their environment is germ-free or otherwise under their control, or could be. It's a sick society that wants to blame other people for the objective reality of communicable diseases, at risk populations, and their own unwise social behavior. And, it's a sick society that believes government has a responsibility (let alone the ability) to protect them from the risks and potential outcomes represented by those objective realities. ....

Supermarkets back to normal, just max purchase limits on some items. Bunnings, hardware chain, has introduced limits on some items but I don't think sandpaper is affected. People have finally discovered methylated spirits is basically ethanol (hand sanitizer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the old days methylated spirits used to be about 90% ethanol plus 10% methanol to discourage those who wished to imbibe it. The SDS for Diggers methylated spirits as sold by Bunnings. Just add a bit of sugar and glycerol/glycerine for mouth feel. I think that's demin. for demineralised water and not a typo for demon water.
