Well, this is disconcerting.

From March 18-22, the Chinese city of Wuhan reported no new cases of the virus through domestic transmission — that is, infection passed on from one person to another. The achievement was seen as a turning point in efforts to contain the virus, which has infected more than 80,000 people in China. Wuhan was particularly hard-hit, with more than half of all confirmed cases in the country.

But some Wuhan residents who had tested positive earlier and then recovered from the disease are testing positive for the virus a second time. Based on data from several quarantine facilities in the city, which house patients for further observation after their discharge from hospitals, about 5%-10% of patients pronounced "recovered" have tested positive again.

People recovered from the virus could hold a lot of keys

The plasma is already being used to help sick victims.  Another reason that I'd love to see he test implemented in a hurry which shows if you have already had the virus.

Blood drives could be more important very soon.

Only the blood plasma is being used or being experimentally used as a treatment.

 

In addition to working at various jobs when i was young, I sold my plasma as a way of making ends meet to get through college.  ( I know this must be fake news because all the boomers like me had it so easy way back when )  They take whole blood from you, run it through a centrifuge to seperate the plasma and put the red part back into you so you can give again in just a fraction of the time you normally would if you gave whole blood.  I didnt think the needle marks on my arms would ever heal but 40 years later they have.

Understood, but in all the scenarios I gave, I have taken the old and existing conditions folks out of the equation by quarantining them strictly.  The occasional fit person on the vent would not be taking it from someone else most likely.  Also, did not say quit social distancing.

The biggest issue in my scenario is getting the US to go along with quarantining the elderly.  Yes, they can shut down a rest home,  but what about those not in rest homes.  That would be like herding cats.  My own folks, I have to watch them like a hawk or they will be talking about going here and there.  I have them send me grocery lists against their will because they want to get out of the house.

Also remember, with every elderly person that has tested positive and passed or are still in the hospital, their entire families have probably been infected.  How many have gotten tested?

I think again, more than the initial tests that everyone is wanting, we need the test that looks at antibodies to see who has already had it.

I can only Speak of the UK situation (can't comment on what I don't know in the USA) but to get lockdown in place for only some wouldn't work, how would it be policed? Government needed to act quickly to contain so in my mind it only is effective as a movement to get everyone to act in the same way. Look at the amount of people who still went to public places on mass? That needed to be put to a stop and this was the only effective way of doing that.

Auto immune disorder.  

 

I think the jury is still out on that. They don't know what it is.  I also had sarcoidosis.  Been 20 years..no recurrence, thankfully. Hope same for you. 

I am hoping the lung involvement will not put me at risk with the Covid19 virus.  I am doing everything I can to try to prevent getting the virus..but I am a little worried.

It's the only way to explain it to anyone.

I have had 2 flare ups in the past 4 years.  Last go around with prednisone seems to have it suppressed.  It's much worse in person to person.

      Friday camp news and notes

      They've gone way overboard with the masking of plays by only filming the ball in air.  Nobody is analyzing camp highlights.

      Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
