Coronavirus outbreak

[jszmiles]

Covid does not attack the immune system, Hiv does.

I heard that people with sufficient vitamin d have a better chance of getting only a mild form of Covid.

dunno bout that vitamin but this is proved that people with hiv that are on successful treatment are almost immune from Covid, basically because the medicine they're taking each day stops Covid from spreading.

That's good to hear for HIV patients... unfortunately, non-HIV patients cannot take anti-retro-viral meds bc of the side effects.

I have been taking supplements of Vit D, C and Zinc since March.

I heard that people with sufficient vitamin d have a better chance of getting only a mild form of Covid.

This does now seem to be the scientific consensus.

It's a major reason why people with black skin tend to be worst affected - melanin (black pigment) reduces the skin's ability to produce Vitamin D.

Nnnn not Dua's country contributing the most. How can that be when It's so tiny? Is all of Kosovo infected?

Lockdown reintroduced in Aberdeen from 5pm this evening. All bars and restaurants to close for a minimum of one week.

[theMathematician]

I feel sorry for the people working in that industry and hope that the lockdown gets relieved soon again.

Basically.

Government is doing shitty job (currently politics itself is a mess) and on top of that people are just doing things as if nothing is happening.

The sad part of it is that Kosovo relies so much on diaspora during summer months and they are responsible for giving the economy a much needed push/drive...like 50% of population works in gastronomy!!!

Well only 600, most Germans are getting infected at home.

Is increased testing part of the reason for infection numbers increasing? I know in the UK testing was barely a thing in the first few months and now they’re testing anyone they can get their hands on, even those without symptoms. It’d be interesting to know which age groups are having the highest positive tests and what the death rates will be.

From what I've seen the positive tests increase is going up much higher than the increase in percentage of positive tests, so yes, I think more testing is definitely the reason for the increase.

There is this weird news in Germany that testing for covid through the nose could injure the brain... well some facilities are pushing the thingy too much into the nose that it breaches thru to the brain. I WILL NOT LET THEM DO THIS TO ME.

Imagine you're going to get tested and end up with a stroke and no Corona.

Poland has reached another sad record this day, over 720 cases and 18 deaths.

A friend of mine got tested yesterday and that nose swap thing was very quick and painless. So you don't need to be afraid.

It is anatomically impossible to injure the brain by inserting the cotton swab to deep into the nose. Anyone saying otherwise is either deliberately fear mongering or completely clueless. Don't listen to idiots.
