Her symptoms are mild right now - slight fever and cough but her breathing is normal. And yeah, I'm freaking out about it Man that sucks. Hopefully she pulls through bud! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memento mori Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Some hopeful news about remdesivir, which the FDA allowed in the US as of today: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-grants-remdesivir-emergency-use-authorization-covid-19-n1197576 Also some promising info on a possible vaccine at Oxford: https://www.businessinsider.com/monkeys-given-new-oxford-vaccine-coronavirus-free-strong-exposure-encouraging-2020-4?fbclid=IwAR0F8KaBUPtL01w03HvVoAFETPh4smURPCnS_EJ1v8tGPTvvUHEBz3skY0c Sorry if any of these have already been mentioned, I haven't read the whole thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memento mori Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 On 4/11/2020 at 5:04 PM, Springfield- said: b*** please, most people die from cancer, heart related diseases, mosquito related dieseaes too ofc, and most deaths are related to murder, but aids? lol most people died from aids in the USA in recent years than in Brazil. New York was the epicentre of aids back in the day and now ironically is the epicentre of Corona. ANd we have registred, so far, much less deaths due to corona than the USA. The situation seems to be getting worse quickly: https://www.businessinsider.com/brazil-coronavirus-no-nationwide-lockdown-results-are-grim-2020-5 As for New York, it's not surprising that it would become a hot-spot for infectious diseases at some point during an outbreak. The city of New York is densely populated and highly international, both in hosting many tourists, and the airport being a key hub as a layover for international travel to the other parts of the US, Canada, and Mexico. Simply having a layover in New York on your way to any other state could put you in contact with tens of people who would then come into contact with tens of people, and so on. In this circumstance, New York waited longer than they should have and it cost them, though thankfully the situation never reached proportionate levels of the meltdowns experienced in Italy, Spain, or Iran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm deeply sorry to hear such grim news, and I hope you'll be strong during that trying time. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
