Coronavirus outbreak: Live updates
By Yasemin Saplakoglu - Staff Writer, Rachael Rettner - Senior Writer, Jeanna Bryner - Live Science Editor-in-Chief 17 minutes ago
Among the top coronavirus news out today are: New York City is in a dire situation with deaths surging and medical supplies running low.
—More than 1.2 million cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed across the globe, with more than 312,000 of those in the U.S.; 130,759 in Spain; 124,632 in Italy; and more than 96,000 in Germany.
Conspiracy Theorists Strike
—At least three 5G-type phone towers have been set on fire in the United Kingdom, after conspiracy theorists suggested the higher-frequency radio waves somehow accelerate the spread of the novel coronavirus, the BBC News reported. Those claims are completely false; and furthermore, those towers are needed right now, particularly during a pandemic. "I'm absolutely outraged and disgusted that people would be taking action against the infrastructure we need to tackle this emergency," NHS Director Stephen Powis said during a press briefing, the BBC News reported.
One of these false ideas purports that the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, started in Wuhan because of the recent rollout of 5G there, before spreading to other 5G-enabled cities, The Verge reported. However, The Verge points out, "These false conspiracy theories neglect to mention that a highly contagious virus would naturally spread more in densely populated cities with access to 5G, and that the coronavirus pandemic has hit countries like Iran and Japan where 5G isn't in use yet."
—A criminal investigation has been launched into the handling of the COVID-19 outbreak aboard the Ruby Princess cruise ship, as its 2,700 passengers were allowed to disembark in Sydney on March 19, despite showing respiratory symptoms. At least 62 people linked to the cruise ship have tested positive for the virus, according to The Guardian.
"The only way I can get to the bottom of whether our national biosecurity laws and our state laws were broken is through a criminal investigation," said Mike Fuller, Commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force, as reported by The Guardian. "The key question that remains unanswered … Was Carnival transparent in contextualizing the true patient and crew health conditions relevant to COVID-19?"
—Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said today at a press briefing that three U.S. hotspots — New York City, Louisiana and Detroit — are likely to hit their peaks in cases and deaths in the next six or seven days, NPR reported.
—Birx emphasized the importance of following the mitigation measures strictly over the next two weeks, saying: "The next two weeks are extraordinarily important. This is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy, but doing everything you can to keep your family and your friends safe and that means everybody doing the six-feet distancing, washing their hands," NPR reported.
—A HuffPo/YouGov survey found that 87% of Americans say they are staying home as much as possible and most say they'd continue to do so even if official orders were lifted, HuffPo reported.
—In the U.K., 708 virus-related deaths were reported Friday, including the death of a 5-year-old with underlying health conditions, BBC News reported. The U.K. has now confirmed nearly 42,500 cases and 4,320 deaths from COVID-19, according to the Johns Hopkins dashboard.
—The Chinese government and the billionaire founders of the online marketplace Alibaba are sending 1,000 ventilators to New York City; they are expected to arrive at JFK Airport today, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. In addition, Oregon has said the state will send 140 ventilators to the city, ABC News reported.
—The 1,000-bed Navy ship hospital, the USNS Comfort, was tasked with helping the NYC health care system by caring for non-COVID-19 patients; however, on Thursday (April 2), just 20 patients were onboard because of the harsh criteria for who could and could not be treated there. That should change with updated guidelines: "Screening for care on the USNS Comfort will be modified and will now occur pier-side in an effort to reduce the backlog at some of the nearby New York hospitals. The screening effort for the USNS Comfort will no longer require a negative test, but each patient will still be screened by temperature and a short questionnaire," the U.S. Department of Defense said in a statement.
—Hundreds of service members cheered for the recently ousted Navy captain, Brett Crozier, who was relieved of his command after sending a letter asking for help due to an outbreak of COVID-19 on the carrier, Live Science reported.
—Two parishes in Louisiana, in the New Orleans area, have the highest COVID-19 death rate per capita in the United States, according to The Wall Street Journal. For instance, St. John the Baptist Parish has a death rate per capita of nearly 40 virus-related deaths per 100,000 people; Orleans Parish has a death rate from the virus of nearly 38 per 100,000 individuals, the WSJ reported.

Truth in headlines, no fake news there (below)! But there are honest mistakes. Yes, I believe that headline is as accurate as it can be
"US Declares Public Health Emergency As Death Toll Hits 10,000—But None From Coronavirus"
Of course we all know no one dies directly from the C-virus and it's no mystery why that is a fact. It's a play on words, yes? I think I read as much from replies that our well informed/educated membership posted. No one dies of old age either!
HAL said in his reply ; "You got my curiosity going, and according to Google and John Hopkins, 250,000 people die each year from hospital mistakes like wrong drug, wrong dose, bad procedures, etc." Holy C—-!"
Yes that figure is probably right Hal! Due to a few crashes motorcycle and playing and having resulting surgeries I heard the stories! I love the Vets Hospital, today they are equal to an avg. civie' USA hospital. That wasn't the case about I guess it was 15 to 18 years ago. I was to have my leg screwed together back then and knowing the rumors, I wrote with a red marker CUT HERE, and on my good leg I wrote NOOO! the other one gets the hardware! I am not lying I was worried! And I also became an auto donor for blood after a big respected hospital (I think it was) got their blood types mixed up!
Lastly....I am more convinced than ever that this disease was tweaked, weaponized. It's just a guess but the circumstantial evidence keeps coming in! My guess remains China but it could be anyone.
Bye all, God bless if it fits, and be safe!

Mryelm,
...HAL said in his reply ; "You got my curiosity going, and according to Google and John Hopkins, 250,000 people die each year from hospital mistakes like wrong drug, wrong dose, bad procedures, etc." Holy C—-!"
I need to put the record straight.
I did not write the above quote.
HAL.

I don't blame you Hal..It was sheriff Clark who was then Fact Checked.. and found to be based on a flawed study..which was never removed or retracted..or updated..and begs the question..just who was he supposed to quote accurately? Here is the funny part..it was produced under John Hopkins University !! that produces those real time fancy shmancy red maps..whos current methods of counting are highly suspect ignoring prior trends in historical data..like the momo and other eudata.. No one got into how many actually die from mistakes..when all you need to look at is the ABA data..for an indirect method..how many lawsuits.. www.millerandzois.com/medical-malpractice-statistics.htmlMedical malpractice is a serious problem, falling behind only heart disease and cancer as the leading cause of death in the United States. It is difficult to accurately estimate how often medical malpractice occurs because it often goes unnoticed or unreported. According to an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association, as many as 225,000 people die each year from medical malpractice. These incidents may be split into several subcategories:
12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgery 7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals 20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals 80,000 deaths from infections 106,000 deaths from non-error, adverse effects of medication
www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/jun/29/david-clarke-jr/do-250000-americans-die-every-year-because-mistake/In publishing the study, The BMJ declared that medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the United States, behind heart disease and cancer. Those diseases, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each cause about 600,000 deaths per year. Regarding Clarke's claim, there are two important things to note: 1. The study did not attempt to do a count of deaths attributed to medical errors -- rather it made estimates based on medical death rate data and hospitalizations. 2. More importantly, the 250,000 estimate was based on many types of medical errors, not just botched surgeries -- anything from bad doctors to communication breakdowns when patients are handed off from one department to another, to medicine dosage mistakes, diagnostic errors and more. "It boils down to people dying from the care that they receive rather than the disease for which they are seeking care," Johns Hopkins professor of surgery Martin Makary, the study’s lead author, told the Washington Post. Digging deeper Critics pointed out that the study did not take into account studies from 2008 and later, when improvements have been made, Modern Healthcare reported. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported in December 2015 that from 2010 to 2014, hospital patients experienced 2.1 million fewer hospital-acquired conditions, resulting in about 87,000 fewer patients dying in hospitals. On other hand, we found that some studies have published estimates that were higher than the one from Johns Hopkins. A study published in 2013 in the Journal of Patient Safety estimated that more than 400,000 patients per year die in hospitals as a result of "preventable harm." And a 2014 report for the U.S. Senate estimated medical errors killed 325,000 people per year. Like the Johns Hopkins study, neither of those studies made an estimate of the number of deaths due specifically to errors in surgery. And Makary, the lead author of the Johns Hopkins study, told us he is not aware of any studies that count surgery deaths. Our rating Clarke said: "Doctors kill about 250,000 people a year in botched surgeries." A study released several weeks before Clarke made the statement estimates that 251,000 people per year in the United States die from any number of types of medical errors. But that figure is an estimate. Moreover, no estimate was made in the study on the number of deaths due to botched surgeries. We rate Clarke’s statement False.
and I rate the above conclusion spurious

truepundit.com/watch-wisconsin-dairy-farmers-dumping-milk-as-prices-fall/Dairy farmers across Wisconsin are dumping their milk into drains and other outlets rather than sending it to market as milk prices continue to tumble during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. While many grocers are limiting the amount of milk individual consumers can buy, the dairy industry is reeling from decreased demand due to the widespread closures of restaurants and other food service buyers — leading dairy cooperatives to ask farmers to discard fresh milk in an effort to prop up prices. “We never thought this would happen,” dairy farmer Ryan Elbe told the Detroit Free Press. “Everybody’s rushing to the grocery store to get food, and we have food that’s literally being dumped down the drain.” Earlier this week, roughly 115 large Wisconsin dairy operations ditched their products, according to WISC-TV, and Elbe’s was one of them.
wow I couldn't find powdered milk on the shelves..which would have been a godsend for me~sys
an entire way of life..just down the tubes literally

www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/new-york-woman-arrested-not-socially-distancing-thrown-jail-holding-cell-two-dozen-women/
A woman was jailed in Brooklyn over the weekend for violating the social distancing rules. The woman and her boyfriend were arrested and she spent the next 36 hours in jail with two dozen women. A woman was arrested for failing to socially distance. She spent the next 36 hours packed in a cell with two dozen other women. t.co/JoaOBRoRFZ — Alice Speri (@alicesperi) April 3, 2020 Diana West weighed in. TRENDING: HUGE! From CDC Website: Hospitals to List COVID-19 as Cause of Death Even if It's "Assumed to Have Caused Or Contributed to Death" - Lab Tests Not Required In the dumb, brute #CoronaWorldOrder, the rights of free people are nullified to keep us "safe" (but not really). Brilliant. t.co/GctSj2idWy — Diana West (@diana_west_) April 5, 2020 A fellow New Yorker snitched on them. The Intercept. NEW YORK CITY police officers arrested three people in Brooklyn over the weekend after they allegedly “failed to maintain social distancing,” court documents reviewed by The Intercept show. The three individuals appear to be among the first in the city to be arrested over the Covid-19 mitigation measures — despite city officials promising that those disregarding the lockdown would face fines at most. Violating social distancing is not a crime per se, but each of the individuals arrested was charged with obstructing governmental administration, unlawful assembly, and disorderly conduct. In a criminal complaint, police claim an informant observed a group of about 25 people “hanging out” in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood last Friday night and that the defendants “refused to leave the location and disperse” despite the informant repeatedly asking them to do so. But one of those arrested, a 37-year-old woman, disputed the facts described in the complaint, telling The Intercept that she had been in a parking lot with her boyfriend, who was also arrested, when she saw a group of people nearby dispersing into the street apparently after police ordered them to do so. The woman, who asked not to be named because the charges against her remain pending, told The Intercept that a large group of officers, wearing no masks, approached her and her boyfriend and told them it was “time to leave,” then proceeded to grab her boyfriend before they could do so. The interaction quickly escalated and officers pepper-sprayed two people as a crowd gathered to watch what was happening. “They actually brought the crowd inside that parking lot once they started bothering me,” she said. The woman was taken to the local precinct and then to central booking, where she shared a cell with two dozen other women for the next 36 hours. Only women who already had masks when they were arrested were allowed to keep them. There was no soap and the cell was dirty, but at one point an officer went around distributing drops of hand sanitizer to the women held there.
Edit ~Literally a room full of women exuding corona from every concievable orifice..a human nursery as it were.~all they had to do was give a citation collect the fines after ..then wash your hands of the whole sordid affair ...Isn't it great to be Young Alive Dumb & From Brooklyn?

It has been reported that the coronavirus likes living in the eye and another symptom is Pink Eye. Before we go quaranteening people with pink eye or just rushing to the the ER....just remember this..I ..along with millions of others..carry that year round due to high pollen counts and elevated blood pressure..including that itching and sneezing.. But I would not doubt false corona cases are compounded by and thrown in as presumptive cases..ie padding the numbers..
