Strategies to deal with covid 19
Strategies to deal with covid 19
Hypothetical question.
If you were abroad right now in your native country, do you think it would make any sense to get the virus there and self isolate and be looked after by competent staff, rather than wait to be back in Cambodia and very possibly, sooner or later, get it it in a country not really reputed for its medical excellence? A sort of preventive strike?

I wouldn't do it unless you are certain that you can't contract the virus twice.

You all seem very worried by this virus! I don't remember people in Cambodia getting so worked up about SARS which seems to have had a higher death rate

Due to coronavirus, I now assume everyone is now infected.
Strangely enough, it’s the same feeling I have when I go to GSM.

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm drinking lots of water to keep hydrated, eating home cooked healthy food, and swimming 1k per day. I carry a bottle of hand sanitizer which I use whenever I go out and touch money etc, and I try to avoid all hospitals, as they're likely to be one of the main places you can pick it up.

this covid19 is a viral infection of the lungs and heart that causes sars covid 19 disease.
when will this horace stop misleading the forum with its a flu or trivialising it with its a virus.
this is a severe respiratory viral disease

Every year out in the tropics, I'm very aware of any lung infections because they can lead to pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is nasty shit. Loads of people out here die of it. So, I'm taking a few precautions until the Ro etc has been ascertained, which hopefully will be soon
The Lancet published a new study using stochastic modeling and if it turns out to have an Ro of 1.5 or less, we should start to see things easing off within a few months. That's even with only 50% effective tracing. They will update the model as more data becomes available.
Up the workers!
Ro is 2.2
Good article here by a top MD explaining what it is and the likely consequences compared to ordinary flu and in terms of likely death rate. It's in French but easy enough to Google translate

With respect, The Lancet is one of the leading pulmonary health journals, and they say there is still not enough data in to be certain.logos wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 9:19 pmRo is 2.2

Great article though.
Although it did remind me a bit of this guy:
Here's the link to the study.

I have had pneumonia twice , first time it was double ( both lungs) and each time it was in Cambodia and each time it was also misdiagnosed as a back spasm and both times it was healed with antibiotics fed through a drip for an hour a day for a week or so.
Man up you lot.

I had Pneumonia a couple of times. One time was in London in the late 90s when I wasn't looking after my health too well due to too many distractions. The next time was when I returned from East Africa in 2002. I was sick as a pig and almost choked to death on a trolley in a hall because I wasn't plumbed into the hospital oxygen feed, I was just on a bottle that ran out., The fucking alarm bell wasn't working and I had to shake my cot violently before I smothered. After that they thought I had Ebola or whatever so I got stuck in an isolation ward for a week. It was a lovely suite, it had a full wall of glass with a great view of Hampstead Heath and a private bathroom and a TV on a swivel above the bed. All my visitors had to wear biohazard suits and masks. The great thing was that even though I was earning pretty good money then the hospital never even mentioned payments and I was released a week later.
