anyone know the latest infection rate here ?

I for one care about my fellow humans.

You may not care about others Icy but dont be to sure you or a family member will not get the virus, will you care then ????

[icyfroth]

precations very simple, really:

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after touching bathroom or kitchen surfaces, door handles, light switches. Use sanitsing gel if you have it.

Practice social distancing.

Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Throw away used tissues immediately.

If you have a sore throat, headache, fever, dry cough, chances are you've contracted the virus.

Self-isolate immediately for at least 2 weeks. Keep up fluids. You have an 80% of recovering. If you are over 80, that percentage falls.

It's not a death sentence. Most recover, some don't.

Same with everthing.

I'd appreciate if you'd keep my family members out of these discussions. I will do you the same courtesy.

TIA

It won't.

reported coronavirus cases - seems excluding those that do not make it to hospital ( flu) , and I suspect those that are triaged back home to fend for themselves and predictably succumb (Flu) 

Got to read between the lines regarding stats when hospitals have reached satuation point and are triaging out acute cases

While we have the means we must create facilities in advance and also enhance protection for medical staff  as documented in Italy with over 2,000 infected 

Also create a ready reserve of willing medical people : retirees, medical students, shake & bake helpers 

Now , not when it looks like is becoming a crisis

Wouldn't this be discharged - not triaged.

I think you will find that regarding this contagion in some countries triage is before admittance - some countries who are overwhelmed are sending tertiary cases back home before admittance

How do you do this if you go to the hairdresser's?

Are your hairdresser's arms 4 feet long?

I still don't think you've quite grasped the seriousness of it.

Triage begins when a patient is first ' found ' .

What ever you mean by ' tertiary ' cases sent back home - beats the heck out of me.

Tertiary is stage 3 anything.

Perhaps you mean they are not admitted because the need isnt there - they have been treated - like - on the spot.

WHO - knows what the heck you mean - at any time. lol

You seem to have some sort of problem with hairdressers. 

[imastawka]

I do indeed.

Hardly an essential service.

They should be closed down.

[domino-710]

How hard is it - to get in the shower - and wash your own hair.

Often.

[lionrose.7]

Gee icy so your family members are not part of the human race (which I mentioned)

Dont recall mentioning any of your family members by name????

You still did not answer question if you even cared .
