Unsurprisingly, New Zealand will officially be locked down from tomorrow for 4 weeks.

There is also a resident at a rest home here whos daughter visited him from Australia on the 10th March, so 13 days ago. He has no symptoms but he must've been tested as a precaution, and the test has come back as positive for Covid-19.

That virus is going to spread like fire in FL. Lots of people in nursing homes. Stay safe.

The Nursing Home my husband is in for rehab is on lockdown. They are trying to keep them from getting the virus.

I'm glad they're doing their part to keep him safe. I'm sorry it's preventing you from seeing him though.

Very nice!!! And I love your earrings!

Looks like what I use to wear, except it wasn't that pretty. It was the ugly O.R. green. Good job.

I think the idea that we can rely on herd immunity is dangerous. Covid-19 is a mutation of an existing virus. When this mutation can't kill us any more it will mutate and try again. We can't gain immunity as fast as a virus can mutate.
I like to look at this virus as a predator rather than a bug.
I also believe that the idea that we must save every life if possible is likely to be a very costly ideological stance. It may cost more lives indirectly than the virus will account for.
I did mention this in an earlier post.
I find it interesting that on a chicken forum when diseases effect the chicken species it is apparent to most that in order to preserve the species the obvious solution is to cull the infected and put into place social distancing.
As far as the virus is concerned we are just another species. It is always helpful to have knowledge of how ones enemy sees the world.
I have posted a few links in this thread and I get the impression that they get a like click but do not get read, or people believe these things only happen to other people and it will be different for them.
In one link for example an associated link concerning Italy, describes the dead being loaded into army trucks and being taken to incinerators. No funerals, no seeing the dead one last time. For a religious country like Italy this is soul destroying. No amount of lets all be positive memes is going to fix that nor is the cheer leading patriotic style posting.
I have mentioned before, this is a global problem and the virus doesn't care which flag you wave or which god you believe in.
In the link below is an article, an opinion, but it does point out for example that in the UK for those who are vulnerable due to other health problems that they are looking at 12 weeks worth of isolation; that's three months of incarceration!
The article also points out, as have many scientists that the death figures only show that those who died were infected by Covid-19. The figures do not show that Covid-19 was the cause of death. This is a very important point. Some, maybe many of these people would have died anyway from other health problems.
There are also some interesting projections of different scenarios ranging from half a million dead to twenty thousand dead depending on how successful the measures taken are.
Our politicians who hopefully will have listened to the scientists must now be aware that their health systems (Italy has one of the best health care systems in the world) are likely to collapse under the strain. Those working in health care are at very high risk and there is a limited supply. There must come a point when there are not enough health care workers to tend to the infected.........
Meanwhile, our beliefe in the value of the individual human life above all others life forms pushes our species down a track of life saving at any expense.
I hope those who can do math have got their sums right.

you're wrong Shad, I read every one and thank you for sharing. Information is empowering, what's happening in other countries will be happening here. I cringe everytime someone says quit politicizing when someone tries to share something important. We don't need our hands held and told there there all's going to be alright. We need information to properly protect ourselves and to prepare for times ahead. So again, thank you.
