Japan is doing an abysmal job with testing--you have to have a fever for four days before you can call the hotline to ask for a test! unless you're 65+, in which case it's 2 days--but does not appear to be having a lot of deaths. They have locked down and are reopening, but it seems that the Japanese customs of non-contact greeting, excellent hygiene, mask-wearing, bicycle use, and general concern for others are doing a lot to minimize the spread. The government doesn't really do mandates, but they strongly recommend or urgently request practices and people normally choose to do their part. The interviewee had also lived in China previously and suggested that there's similar conduct in China, though apparently with different motives (complying with government directives/restrictions vs. watching out for fellow citizens). China's experience with big projects in short time frames helps with mass testing, etc.--there's a will to get things done. His interview with Craig in Taiwan was also extremely interesting, I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen several things about fertility lately. This is the latest from global times “Chen Xiangqun, NPC deputy and Executive Vice Governor of NE China's Liaoning Province, proposes completely lifting #FamilyPlanning policies in Northeast China first. #TwoSessions” They have been relaxing the one child policy since they realize it won’t be extremely overcrowded if people have two kids. Rural areas families have always been allowed to have more than a child for farming help. Nothing to do with Covid19. More to do with human replacement ratio. Now it’s one child to support 6 adults (2 parents, 4 grandparents) when the parents are retirement age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embolism, clots, etc., have always been on my radar after childbirth, surgery, hospital stays, etc. I'm not saying it's not bad, but getting very sick often creates these kinds of problems, not specific to sars2.

JennyD Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Israel seems to be well on its way to a second wave. Nothing has shown up in the hospital data yet but daily new cases are rising fast. There's tons of testing so the positivity rate is low, which is good, but it is not at all clear that the spread will be able to be contained without reinstating some restrictions. We were so close....two more weeks would have made all the difference in the world. Edited June 6, 2020 by JennyD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people at large won’t aware of the risk of clots after recovering from COVID19. I am told to watch out for clots while on tamoxifen because it’s a known risk. Clots due to COVID19 were in the news recently as something to watch out for, but might not be when the patient that passed was discharged. I wasn’t warned about clots after childbirth, two different gynecologist in different countries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...after every birth (5, all with different providers) I've been given counsel on what to look for for clots or embolism, or what needs to be seen in the ER right away. After my DH did a stint in the ICU a few years ago we were given similar info when discharged. I know covid is being looked at as a vascular disease now, but AFAIK, there are a lot of risks associated with hospitalization and intensive care treatment that are not unique to covid, clotting and embolism being two of those things. Again, not trying to downplay it, but it's another reason to take this thing seriously. Even just being in a hospital bed for any length of time increases risks of all sorts of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people with Covid who have not been hospitalized or bedridden have died suddenly from clots. Even healthy teenagers. A 16 year old in our area was on the mend, feeling better, but died suddenly from a stroke. I also read an MD’s account of treating a Covid patient’s clot and as soon as the clot was removed, another began to form. Very weird! For intubated patients, a small study was done that showed giving a therapeutic dose of an anticoagulant helped patients with no signs of clots survive. Normally, they’d likely give a smaller, prophylactic dose but the larger, therapeutic dose worked better. N-acetyl-cysteine might also help prevent clots but it’s probably best to only take it until vaccine or reliable treatment arrives or the virus has definitely become milder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no imagination for numbers, though, so maybe! I think that's a good # for some days but not all days. But he makes so many other assumptions that could be high (# of infected in the crowd) or low (# of other people infected by each sick person there). Plus, masks, outdoors (both theoretically lowering transmission), chanting, close contact, coughing from tear gas/pepper spray (raising risk of transmission) all figure in & are dependent on location. Lots not masking in some areas but almost everyone masking in others. I continue to hope that the sun/air outdoors lowers the transmission.

I worry that it might be too soon to tell though. Most of the people at the pool party were young and there was a fair amount of negative reaction to them locally so I wonder if they would be too keen to seek testing if their symptoms are relatively mild. I'm a bit concerned about the people they might pass it on to, who may not be in the same age group. Even then we may never know because I'm not too sure how much enthusiasm there is for contract tracing etc around here. I believe the one case they know about is from a county near by and that county is having a bit of an increase right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 @Ausmumof3@Pen@lewelma New Zealand 🇳🇿 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/new-zealand-covid-19-no-active-case-coronavirus-12814532 “WELLINGTON: New Zealand has no active COVID-19 cases after the country's final patient was given the all-clear and released from isolation, health authorities said Monday (Jun 8). The milestone was "really good news" and an achievement the whole of New Zealand could take heart from, health department director-general Ashley Bloomfield said. "Having no active cases for the first time since Feb 28 is certainly a significant mark in our journey but, as we've previously said, ongoing vigilance against COVID-19 will continue to be essential," he said in a statement. New Zealand has won praise for its handling of the pandemic, which involved a strict seven-week lockdown that ended last month after the virus was contained. The South Pacific nation, with a population of five million, has had 1,154 confirmed cases and 22 deaths. There have been no new infections for 17 days and, until Monday, just one active case for more than a week. Details of the final patient were not released for privacy reasons but it is believed to be a woman aged in her 50s who was linked to a cluster at an Auckland nursing home. "(The) remaining case has been symptom-free for 48 hours and is regarded as recovered. The person has now been released from isolation," the health department said. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is expected to announce later Monday that New Zealand will this week move to alert Level 1, the lowest rating on its four-tier virus response system. Under the change, international border restrictions will remain in place but the final domestic curbs - such as limits on public gatherings and mandatory social distancing - will be removed.” 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
