There are, 180. The governor said school districts wouldn't be penalized if they didnt meet the 180 days due to the break.
Deranged Rhino Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 It's odd that the homeless population in LA country has so far not been effected. High risk population, no cases (that I've seen)... Haven't hear much about the homeless in other areas either (WA, OR, Bay Area)... 4

It's just strange (to me, a non epidemiologist) that for years we've heard how everything from the plague to TB is spreading through the homeless population and they'd be the bridge to wider infections within the population ... yet with this bug, no reporting on that at all.

Chef Jim Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Report from the front: Went grocery shopping after the gym (9:30am PST). While it was a bit busier than usual I was able to get all I needed (except my bananas ?). As a matter of fact there was no one ahead of me at the checker. I asked if her check stand was closed and she said "no, why do you ask?" I said "well because there is no on ahead of me" See it pays to be be the contrarian one. 1 1
Foxx Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Koko78 said: Because the expectation was that when the weather warmed up getting towards summer, the instances of the virus would decrease. Of course, still being in the early stages of this histrionic nonsense, who knows if it means anything that it's 97 degrees in SE Asia. right. with no corollary to contrast it, it is hard to know whether or not they would have had higher numbers in cold weather.

The Hong Kong Hospital Authority announced the findings after studying the first wave of patients who had fully recovered from COVID-19, the South China Morning Post reported. Three people have died of the illness in the former British colony, which has so far recorded 131 confirmed cases. Among them, 74 people have been discharged. Dr. Owen Tsang Tak-yin, medical director of the authority’s Infectious Disease Centre at Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung, said that of about a dozen discharged patients examined, two or three were unable to function as they had previously. “They gasp if they walk a bit more quickly,” Tsang told reporters Thursday, according to the news outlet. “Some patients might have around a drop of 20 to 30 percent in lung function [after recovery].” Lung scans of nine infected patients at the hospital suggested they had suffered organ damage.

Bakin Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I just returned from a trade show on Thursday night late. they cancelled the final day of the show. my company still has no COVID policy. I went to work on Friday still. I can totally work from home but with no corporate policy in place that would mean vacation days (I have been coughing for months - probably caught COVID on some of my previous travels).

The damage done by the virus directly, plus the intensive medical procedures needed to save desperately ill patients, will leave people with lung scarring, nerve damage and psychological trauma, according to warnings from the Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (FICM), the professional body responsible for training intensive care doctors in the UK. The FICM said that some people could regain “apparently normal” lungs after six months, with minimal symptoms such as reduced ability to exercise, but added: “For some, however, it could take as long as 15 years for their lungs to recover.” It also warned of damage to other organs. “Like many other viral conditions, the effects of coronavirus are not just limited to the lungs. The heart can also be affected, ranging from inflammation (myocarditis) to heart failure.” Nicki Credland, a researcher in critical care at Hull University, who chairs the British Association of Critical Care Nurses, said: “For people who are seriously ill with coronavirus the outlook is very serious.” She warned of “tough choices” to come, with doctors potentially having to select whom they should save - a process known as triage. She said: “If we see the kind of numbers we’ve seen in Italy, then we will have to select those who are most likely to survive, and the rest will be in ordinary beds and have to take their chances.” More info in link

And it could be as TPS said that no one is testing/cares about them.
