There is hope. I am confident EU and US can
develop a vaccine and a faster test. We need massive tests to
make the invisible asymptomatic carriers visible. Those who have
the virus must be immediately isolated even if they have only
mild symptoms. Recently a 5-min test was approved! This sounds
good.

Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Mild vs. Severe Symptoms
that and sweden and norway last I read 2 days ago
are just going about their business. and fact is that taking
care of yourself in the US (in general) is a huge problem. we
have no NHS . Which means taking care of your health is fucking
expensive!
What all that means is well before all hell broke lose
america wasn't doing well for health at the start.
Add in a plague that we know very little about. 500 or so
assholes. and potus that's willing to let people die because
he's a patholgocial nutjob.
The mix of all that is what's fucking up the US's chances
for a vastly quicker recovery.
I learned yesterday that a friend in NY is freaking out
because (for now) she has just a dry caugh. the motherfucker?
her doctors office is so swamped she can't get into double
check if it's a cold, flue, alergies or...yeah that covid. She
has a good chance it's a awful cold...anyone sane would like
to know for sure though.
As to terror?
Media isn't helping. Neither is that somebitch and his two
boyfriends. CNN is keeping people way more on edge than they
might be. 45 won't unass the funds neaded to rerbish, build
and distrubute at least 6-7k ventilators, marshall what ever
resorces they need, including enough medical staff to relieve
workers who just about dead on there feat. That's a whole
other level of terror because it means the GOP and 45 don't
give a rats ass about human life. Ausvitz and the Blitz much?
A very small silver lining from this though. I hope this
reads as the postive note its meant to be: this whole damn
thing is showing humans can put bulshit aside against a world
ending disaster.
Jeremy Egner, a NY Times editor, has been
infected and hospitalized in NYC. He gives those who are
seriously ill from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus a voice
Here in Europe he would be the exception,
many politicians and celebrities who have the virus here
have only very mild symptoms. For me, it sounds like the
real number of asymptomatic carriers is much higher than
we know. These asymptomatic carriers must be the driving
force behind the exponential dissemination, while the
severe cases spread terror. A fatal combination for a
pandemic.
Maybe good time to take a Coursera course...
