The US now holds the world record for Covid deaths on a single day. Congratulations, still the biggest and best.

Faith writes: As I recall, Trump said he HOPED things could open up by Easter, saying it would be a good day for it. quote: Coronavirus: US death toll passes 2,000 in a single day - BBC News
The stats people quote are not necessarily trustworthy. Do they clearly distinguish between, say, the virus and the flu for instance. And how do they compare with the statistics for the flu for that matter. Fake news! Fake news! (When all else fails)Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian.

Brno-based Respilon has developed a revolutionary facemask that actively kills pathogens using nanofiber and copper oxide
Lucas Nmec Lucas Nmec Health, In the NewsMarch 17, 2020 11:32 am Face masks are generally worn not to protect the wearer, but to protect their surroundings from the spread of pathogens. But Brno-based company Respilon has developed a revolutionary facemask that actively works to capture and kill viruses. The new product incorporates both a nanofiber weave, which is small enough to prevent the entry of pathogens, along with a layer of copper oxide nanoparticles that actively kill viruses including the coronavirus when it comes into contact with them. Respilon has worked together with an Israeli partner that developed the copper dioxide nanoparticles in order to produce the masks. Thanks to the combination of nanofibers with copper oxide, it effectively protects against coronavirus, but it remains available to the public alongside government institutions and healthcare professionals, Respilon director Roman Zima told reporters at a press conference today. While work on the masks has been conducted at facilities in Israel and Turkey, production will take place in the Czech Republic. The masks will go into local production on March 25, and be available to both healthcare providers and the public from mid-April. Pre-orders can be placed on the Respilon website from March 20. Respilon will offer two types of the mask, ReSpimask Virus Killer and RespiPro Virus Killer, the second of which includes a FFP2 respirator. They will be sold for 200 and 315 crowns, respectively. The masks are certified to last for up to 24 hours of use, but not necessarily consecutively; if you wear one for three hours a day, it can last a week.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif.

Do you think anyone takes any notice at all of what Faith says? I find it hard to believe that anyone here would act on anything she says - she' a well known fruit-loop that couldn't tell the time of day correctly.

Deaths usually drop on a Monday - there's usually a reporting lag from the weekend. Probably bump up tomorrow.

We're getting some reliable numbers now; it seems that one third of those admitted to hospital die. If you're over 60, overweight and overly male, you're over and out. Seemingly, it even worse if you're black.

Phat writes: Just for the record, I want you all to know that Isaiah Saldivar, the young evangelist whom I have showcased in my posts with Pastor ICANT, has many medical people in his extended family and warns his circle of influence that COVID-19 is a scientific fact and not a demon or a myth. Which shows that even charismatic Christians can be logical. ffs, that's the test of being 'logical' is it? Noticing that COVID isn't a myth or a bloody demon? Just having to say it tells us everything we need to knowJe suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.
