VCU hospital is using the dormitories for students as an overflow for patients that do not have the virus. Way to keep the hospital unclogged with non virus cases!

Do you know if the co-worker takes an ACE inhibitor? I read a comment from someone who thought it peculiar that the side effects of ACE inhibitors and symptoms of CV are very similar; loss of taste is one of them.
I suck at itit's fun though
I suck worse!!
you’ll get better!! Lol I was AWFUL at first 
A 16 year old French girl has died - she had no underlying medical conditions. A week ago she had a slight cough.

I also read an account from a US doctor who was seeing more and more young people with the symptoms, but they aren't bad enough yet to qualify for testing. In NZ our highest number of cases is in 20-29 year old age bracket.
New Zealand's lockdown will most likely end up being 6 weeks, 2 weeks longer than first anticipated, and our borders will have to stay shut for quite some time. I think they should have prepared people earlier for the inevitable but within the space of 4 days the increase in confirmed cases was growing too quickly and the country had to be shut down (not a moment too soon too). We have quite the outbreak at a school with many pupils infected by a teacher who had travelled overseas, yet the government was dragging its heels about closing schools.
We've so far had no one die and only 20 out of the 338 confirmed cases have needed to be hospitalised. Only one of the 20 has been in a critical condition and required a ventilator. I sure hope they recover.

and of course, don't forget George Soros, Obama, Hillary, old Europe, chemtrails, 5G cell signals, the UN, Illuminati, a pizza shop and fluoridation etc.
Don't be naive. Big pharma shelled out $2.8 billion for TV ads in 2018. Networks aren't going to report on anything that big pharma doesn't want them to..
This is the update from our Ohio Nurses Association today. It was informative and I figured I'd share. (Dr. Acton is our lead doctor helping our state legislature run the response.)
• There are 1,137 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ohio. 19 fatalities with an age range of 58 to 93. There are 276 hospitalizations. Of those hospitalizations, 107 are in the ICU. The total age range is less than 1 to 96 with a median age of 52. Over 20,000 have been tested. 16% of the cases are healthcare workers.
• The governor signed a bill today to help the state and Ohio citizens to get through this crisis. The governor thanked the general assembly for their bipartisan work on the bill.
• The bill extends licenses of nurses and other licensees who do not have opportunity to have licensed renewed.
• The income tax deadline is extended to July 15th.
• Provide extensive flexibility in several K-12 areas including testing and report cards, senior graduations, special education and JFS payments to child care centers.
• Senator Rob Portman spoke through teleconference. Congress passed legislation today. The legislation is complex and includes trillions of dollars. Its aim to keep people at work. It also provides significant funding for hospitals and healthcare providers and more testing, an anti-viral medication as soon as possible and increased reimbursement. Our local health departments need more help and this bill has $1.5 billion going to health departments. It also provides more money for PPE. The legislation also gives money to Americans. Individuals do not have to sign up to receive this money.
• The state wants to support local shops and restaurants and wants them to write-in if they want to be featured by the state.
• The governor had a call this morning with the Cleveland Clinic. According to their modeling and projections, within two weeks we will see a surge in hospitals. They project we may not hit the peak until mid-May. Additionally, we need to build out our hospital capacities by 2-3 times what they are now. The state will have to increase this capacity very quickly. The state has divided the state into 8 regions. Each region must have their first draft of a plan to the governor by tomorrow at 9am and a final draft by noon on Monday.
• Now we are projected 10,000 new cases per day at our peak.
• There is no healthcare system in the world that could take on this pandemic as currently built.
• Ohio is more determined than ever and the state needs us to be determined, too. Dr. Acton said we are together building a bridge over troubled water.
• Lt. Gov. Jon Husted listed many businesses across Ohio who are hiring people right now, from Amazon to businesses who are now making hand sanitizers.
• The state is looking at using hotels for healthcare workers to stay if they do not want to go home and expose their families.
• The state also acknowledged that we can’t build capacity without having the proper PPE. The state is pushing the supply chain to ensure healthcare workers have what they need.
• We can expect our confirmed cases to double every 6 days.
• Ohio is looking at staffing hospitals and keeping workers healthy. This includes re-deployment of healthcare workers from different specialties, and, for example, training surgeons to become nurses.
• Battelle one step closer to helping sterilizing PPE. They have a machine that could sterilize PPE masks. They are working on getting FDA approval.
• Nurses who are laid off or furloughed will absolutely need to be re-deployed according to Dr. Acton.

Sometimes young people die. I wonder if she was checked for "the great masquerader"? Probably not. Misdiagnoses can be fatal. Like this girl who was only 12 years old
https://www.simplemost.com/sepsis-deaths-teenagers/
I think part of the confusion is people were thinking younger/healthier people can't catch this or can't die from it. They can, absolutely. But for some reason younger children especially aren't catching it at the same rate as adults, and overall younger people are less likely to die to it. The media is spotlighting the (relatively) few cases where a young person dies to (I hope) caution younger people they aren't invincible.
In WA state, as of yesterday there have been a total of 147 deaths. 50% of deaths are from folks 80+ yrs old. An additional 29% from 70-79 yrs old. 13% were 60-69, 7% 50-59. Only 1% were under 50 years old. That said: the numbers here are skewed due to the fact that the virus rampaged through the nursing/care home system first, so raw numbers will not always tell you the whole story.

I don’t know
Didn’t hear anything about an inhibitor (*?) But no smell or taste is something a doctor told in a interview I have been reading too.edited: *ACE inhibitors are drugs that inhibit the action of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in the tissues and blood plasma. They are prescribed for essential hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic heart failure (in combination with diuretics (water tablets) and, if necessary, digoxin and beta blocker), impaired left ventricular function (EF <40%) and in diabetic nephropathy with macroproteinuria in type I diabetes.

I heard a doctor say that loss of taste and/or smell (related) has been seen in relation to Covid-19. The question posed to the doctor was about loss of taste or smell being an early symptom, but the vague answer was that there does seem to be a connection with loss of taste or smell to having Covid-19 and did not expound further.
