ChandlerMne 1,020 Posted March 23, 2020 #1731 Share Posted March 23, 2020 700+ deaths so far. If Italy continue with declining trend from yesterday, we could reach no more than 1500 deaths which is possible sign of improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily your young(ish) and presumably healthy, so the statistics are much in your favor. Plus, you can live your life with a lot less fear than the rest of us once this is over for you Hahaha, that's true. And nobody likes to rent out a place to two friends in their 20s, afraid that we might break down the whole place, so it was one nightmare to find a place here when we had to leave our previous home. Yeah, I thought by taking good precautions, it was possible to at least delay it by a couple of days, but as most symptoms become apparent after day 4 or day 5, I most likely got infected within the first 24 hours. But hey, as you said, no need to worry anymore about getting it. As I said, for me it was not bad at all. It felt like a regular flu to me which I had last February. So if any of you happen to get infected, I hope your symptoms will be as mild as they were for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 1,077 Posted March 23, 2020 #1733 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Once you are infected from virus and then recover you don't get that again is it something like that or the immune kills it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the data is still unclear on this virus, but that is how many viruses work. I’m probably not qualified to explain this, but maybe @ChandlerMne could give a simple explanation if he has some time. I believe it has to do with anti-bodies, which is the same stuff scientists use to create vaccines. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

amen09 390 Posted March 23, 2020 #1735 Share Posted March 23, 2020 President of the Republic Kais Saied had a telephone conversation with Italian President Sergio Matterella, in which they examined the health situation in Italy and Tunisia, and the world. The President of the Republic declared Tunisia’s readiness to dispatch a medical commission to assist the efforts of the Italian authorities, despite the modest means available in Tunisia because today situation concerns not only one country but the entire globe. The Italian President reiterated his thanks to Tunisia and its people for this noble stance. AlFHg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 1,077 Posted March 23, 2020 #1736 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I guess the immunity recognizes the antigen (virus) to produce the antibodies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be, or may be not: it is not uncommon to see people taking flu or influenza more than once in a month or two. Hopefully immunity will be kept, but that is not 100% sure. However, it seems like that the drug being used to treat symptoms (lungs inflammation) is working: today, 4 other patients have gotten better and it is expected that tomorrow they will leave intensive care.

MHSN 3,585 Posted March 23, 2020 #1739 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Health ministry here said from today they are not going to announce the number of infected/deaths province by province, it will be only the total number, because they think those numbers gave some people wrong idea about some places are "safer" and therefore we have lots of travels to those cities ! according to health ministry ,nowhere is actually "safe" some provinces are reporting less numbers mostly because they are not doing a good job testing people. personally I think this is a terrible idea, I prefer to know the situation in my town, I understand why a complete lockdown is not possible here, but still they can block the roads, that's what they were supposed to do 2 weeks ago. but only happened for few cities. according to officials, 8.5 million people traveled outside of their town in new year holidays (in past 5 days) while at least the numbers were steady here in past 10 days we are expected to see a new wave of coronavirus in next 2 weeks. and with more doctors and nurses are getting infected themselves and hospitals are still full with current patients, things don't look good. konig and thiago_simoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted March 23, 2020 #1740 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Also, why has "COVID-19" part been added? I do realize we like our abbreviations around here, but I'm pretty sure COVID-19 is not a sports federation. thiago_simoes, Wanderer and Sindo 3 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
