    Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

    Phoenix, Arizona, the 5th largest city in the USA reported today that COVID-19 infections doubled in the last two weeks and the infection rate among the general population is at 25% indicating a pandemic out of control.

    26 members, of the largely Republican Mississippi legislature, most of whom refused to wear face coverings while in session have tested positive for Corona Virus,

    The Governor of the State of Mississippi announced today that if any resident of the State has come in contact recently with a State legislature, they should immediately get a COVID-19 test. A mandatory face mask order is likely as soon as tomorrow.

    The City of Houston, with 100% of its ICU beds full have cancelled a planned 6,500 person Republican indoor convention next week.

          Angela Merkel, Germany's top elected official and former scientist on Friday stated:

          "As we are experiencing firsthand, you cannot fight the pandemic with lies and disinformation any more than you can fight it with hate or incitement to hatred. The limits of populism and denial of basic truths are being laid bare."

            Coronavirus damages not only the lungs, but the kidneys, liver, heart, brain and nervous system, skin and gastrointestinal tract, doctors said Friday in a review of reports about Covid-19 patients.

            How coronavirus affects the entire body - CNN

            Their comprehensive picture shows the coronavirus attacks virtually every major system in the human body, directly damaging organs and causing the blood to clot, the heart to lose its healthy rhythm, the kidneys to shed blood and protein and the skin to erupt in rashes. It causes headaches, dizziness, muscle aches, stomach pain and other symptoms along with classic respiratory symptoms like coughing and fever.

            "There's a lot of news about clotting but it's also important to understand that a substantial proportion of these patients suffer kidney, heart, and brain damage, and physicians need to treat those conditions along with the respiratory disease."

            "These findings suggest that multiple-organ injury may occur at least in part due to direct viral tissue damage,"

            These clots can cause strokes and heart attacks or can lodge in the lungs or legs. They clog the kidneys and interfere with dialysis treatments needed for the sickest patients.

            .... this is not the common flu. The effects of COVID-19 will likely linger for many years after a patient leaves the hospital , young or old.

            COVID-19 has all of the hallmarks as being known as a pre-existing condition when it comes times to get health insurance.

              Angela Merkel should sort her own country out before she criticises anyone else but I doubt your media would inform you of any problems there.
              She also thinks the European Union is a great idea sadly for her it was populism that got England divorced from it.
              The EU has had the opportunity to do something positive about covid, research for starters but in the past six months but has remained largely silent.

              This is clearly a post from someone who only hears one side of the story.

                  They could tell us any rubbish and would the average CNN reader know better?

                  Toxins like some snake bite's cause blood to clot or thicken for obvious reasons but that's injected, a google search for "blood clot virus" only brings up covid results so this "natural" virus is quite unique.
                  Or maybe all the links are just reprints from CNN.

                      And how does "hate or incitement to hatred" as quoted by her in anyway help fight a virus?

                            Also only if worn properly and proper distancing is maintained. It has been proven that even with a mask on that properly covers the nose moisture droplets from a sneeze still travel up to 6 feet.

                              So, if it doesn't offer 100% protection why bother wearing it? Is that what you are arguing here? There isn't much in life that offers a 100% guarantee.
