Coronavirus Thread

[PoP]

Now a couple of cases hit in Cochrane, Ontario. So now we go with masks, everybody in town aren’t taking the warning seriously.

Homeless people deserve to have places to go. not only because of this virus.

 

[NatureCriminal7896]

Last week it was more elderly people dying and catching the virus now both old and young are catching it. people at all ages catching it and dying but most are elderly

it's sad that they are leaving this earth sooner then they suppose to but if people don't stop coming to them they gonna keep leaving us sooner then suppose too.

 

[NatureCriminal7896]

The media always been a load of crap. funny to realize they can die too but they gonna keep making fake lies etc because....???? screw the media especially what they did to Michael etc.

we shouldn't panic but we do need to take it seriously. when this virus first started I didn't take it seriously. now i'm am. people who not taking it seriously by now don't want to take it seriously. I really don't feel sorry for anyone who goes outside for no reason. people been told to stay in house for 100 times already. if they still go out for no reason then honestly they wanted to catch it anyway and probably die.

 

[NatureCriminal7896]

i'm not the one for politics but screw donald trump

 

[NatureCriminal7896]

COVID-19 is not like the flu and uninformed influencers and celebrities really need to stop saying that. They have some symptoms in common, but COVID-19 has a much higher fatality rate and it's a lot more contagious. A person with the flu would end up infecting less than 30 people if it was passed on 10 times. A person with COVID-19 would end up infecting 59,000 people if it was passed on 10 times. The incubation period is much longer with COVID-19, so you could be walking around infecting others for as long as two weeks before you even show symptoms. This is why quarantine and social distancing is so important, but a lot of people aren't taking it seriously. Selfish idiots are going to be responsible for crippling health services and killing thousands of people.

If it's safe for you to do so then take vitamin C and vitamin D supplements to help your immune system. You can also boost your health by eating fruits and vegetables, getting adequate sleep, and doing some kind of exercise every day — even if you're stuck indoors. Most importantly, follow your government's instructions and stay at home as much as possible.

As was mentioned earlier in this thread over 80% of people who get the virus will either have no symptoms or mild symptoms which can be managed at home until you recover, so don't panic, just stay informed and alert and keep in touch with your loved ones.

THIS! Thank you!

FLATTEN THE CURVE!

Oh and by the way there is a subject that no one is talking about at least in my country (Portugal): The homeless. Our prime minister said (which I find it very sad by the way), that the homeless are in a better situation because they live on the street and the get to catch fresh air. I mean, what the ****?! They are saying that we must stay home and only take little walks but with the homeless is okay to stay outside?! No one is taking a stand about their situation. I think they too should get help and they should find a place for them to be while this virus is around there. I mean aren´t the people?!

I am thinking about this, too. In Berlin, e. g. all charity points of meeting for homeless people (where they can rest and shower and drink something warm) are closed (if I got that right).

Michael related Corona death

It appears Manu Dibango (the Cameroonian singer Michael sampled a riff from in WBSS) died today from Corona:
https://youtu.be/o0CeFX6E2yI

I didn't even know Michael's riff had been sampled. By the looks of it Michael was sued as late as in February 2009 (!!!) and decided to settle out of court.

He was 86.

2 cases just hit in my town now.

The Michael Jackson Estate today announced that it is donating $300,000 to coronavirus response efforts to help three communities that have been severely impacted by the Covid 19 virus. Broadway Cares, Three Square Food Bank (Southern Nevada&#8217;s largest hunger-relief organization) and MusicCares will each receive a $100,000 donation.

&#8220;This virus strikes at the heart of the communities we are close to,&#8221; said John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.

&#8220;We learned today that the legendary Manu Dibango (a key influence on Jackson&#8217;s hit &#8216;Wanna Be Startin&#8217; Somethin&#8217 passed away from the virus.

Other performers and support staff in music and on Broadway are sick or have been left without work and are facing an uncertain future. And in Las Vegas, which has been so welcoming to Michael Jackson, the entire city has been shut down leaving thousands of workers and their families devastated and without an income.

&#8220;Michael&#8217;s spirit of generosity and helping others during his lifetime is legendary. These donations are inspired by him,&#8221; they concluded.

In New York, the Estate is answering the challenge made by more than 20 Broadway producers who are matching up to $1 million in donations, doubling the impact of contributions to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS&#8217; COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund. Jackson loved attending Broadway performances and the Estate and its partner, Lia Vollack Productions, continue to look forward to welcoming audiences to MJ the Musical later this year.

&#8220;With every passing day that theaters remain dark, entertainment and performing arts professionals face unprecedented and immediate challenges,&#8221; said Tom Viola, executive director Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

&#8220;This incredibly generous donation from the Michael Jackson Estate will help ensure those onstage, backstage and behind the scenes get lifesaving health care, emergency financial assistance and counseling during and after this crisis.&#8221;

In Las Vegas, the Estate&#8217;s donation will provide 300,000 meals to the needy, and help to maintain Three Square Food Bank&#8217;s supplies, the largest foodbank in Southern Nevada. Since opening in February 2013, Michael Jackson ONE, produced by Cirque du Soleil and the Estate of Michael Jackson, has been one of the most popular shows in Vegas.

&#8220;Before the pandemic, 1 in 8 Southern Nevadans lived in a food-insecure household and that number will increase exponentially with the displacement of thousands of workers in our community.

Thank you to the Estate of Michael Jackson for stepping up to help children, families, veterans and senior citizens who may need help now more than ever,&#8221; Michelle Beck, Chief Development Officer.

The Recording Academy and MusiCares will support the music makers who Michael Jackson worked with and loved in a time where the industry is being challenged at every level from the virus.

LONDON — Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, 71, has tested positive for coronavirus after "displaying mild symptoms," Clarence House, his official royal residence, said in a statement Wednesday.

"The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus," the statement said, noting aside from the mild symptoms he "otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual."

The Prince of Wales is self-isolating at a royal estate in Scotland, and his wife Camilla, 72, has tested negative for the virus. It was not immediately clear whether Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II or her husband Prince Philip have been tested.

Britain's 93-year-old monarch canceled a number of events "as a sensible precaution" due to the outbreak but as late as last week she was still holding "audiences" with members of the public.

Buckingham Palace confirmed to USA TODAY that Britain's monarch last came into contact with Prince Charles on March 12. Medical researchers have not yet determined for how long someone infected with coronavirus is contagious.

"Her Majesty The Queen remains in good health," the palace said in a statement to USA TODAY Wednesday. "The Queen last saw the Prince of Wales briefly after the investiture on the morning of the 12th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare.”

Prince Philip, 98, is with the queen at Windsor Castle.

Charles was photographed with other members of the royal family on March 9 at the queen's annual Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey.

Sharp-eyed Twitter users noticed Charles, along with his youngest son Prince Harry, adopted alternatives to shaking hands at the event.

The Prince of Wales, who's known for his interest in Eastern religions and philosophy, was spotted greeting people with the Indian "namaste" greeting, which includes a slight bow with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards.
A few days later, Charles was also out and about on March 12, when he attended a dinner for Australian bushfire relief and recovery effort in London.

The statement from Clarance House announcing Prince Charles' positive test results noted: “It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks.”
Those most at danger of severe complications from the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include adults 65 and older.

On March 19, Queen Elizabeth sent a message via her press office broadly addressing the coronavirus pandemic: "As Philip and I arrive at Windsor today, we know that many individuals and families across the United Kingdom, and around the world, are entering a period of great concern and uncertainty.

"We are all being advised to change our normal routines and regular patterns of life for the greater good of the communities we live in and, in particular, to protect the most vulnerable within them."
