Coronavirus en Perú | "Se van a morir a sus casas porque no tenemos camas": la desesperada situación que se vive en la región peruana de Loreto por el covid-19

Coronavirus in Peru | "They are going to die at home because we have no beds": the desperate situation that exists in the Peruvian region of Loreto due to the covid-19

[ "The two hospitals in Iquitos are overwhelmed. We have nowhere to care for any more patients and that means that people are going to die in their homes,” says Luis Leonardo Runciman, dean of the College of Physicians of Peru in the regional Iquitos , to the BBC Mundo. ]
[ “Even if we have oxygen, we don't have manometers to install them. And while we do have respirators, we also don't have nurses to handle them,” says the dean.
"Add to that, we also don't have a way to diagnose covid-19, because we don't have enough molecular tests or rapid [tests] to do it," he adds... ]
[ According to the Peruvian newspaper Gestión, there the rate of infections to date is the second in the country only behind Lima, with 16.15 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Infrastructure conditions only aggravate the situation.
"In Iquitos we do not have a constant supply of water," said the representative of the medical college.
"Drinking water comes here five hours a day, in shifts. While that is happening, they are telling people that they have to wash their hands several times with soap and water as the main way to prevent the disease."
Runciman turned his attention to another crisis: that of the health personnel. So far, 80 infections have been confirmed among people caring for patients, of whom about half are doctors... ]

I remember bringing my mother to a hospital in New Jersey and the Doctor spent more time inputting data than examining my mother.

Swedish woman (Karin N) has made drawings of her various many, many covid-19 symptoms during her last six weeks! Text in Swedish but illustrations are quite descriptive:

One of my old mates and colleagues, now sadly no longer with us, hailed from New Zealand.
After he had "done" with motor racing he went home and was always saying I should move there.
I would never do so since I have 4 children and 9 grandchildren here in the UK but their responses to crises has been impressive IMO.
Though that may well be too political a statement for this thread, so feel free to remove this.

I read that and looked at the pictures - but my mind misread "symptoms" as "patients" putting a whole different slant on the pictures, thinking the doctor was drawing her patients.
I wondered why they all had pink hair.
Beach closures relaxed and applied again after self-absorbed fuckwits ignore self distancing and exercise-only requirements. Exercising individual freedom 'rights' in a wider social context?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04...-by-12-people-crowd-randwick-beaches/12184422
'Pessimism' rather than 'optimism' seems appropriate re considering human behaviour in certain segments of the population in beating this virus, even if they claim discrimination. Shorter term pain for longer term gain.
Beaches reopened and the situation was repeated.

Immunity to other corona viruses can be quite limited- so it is not unlikely that immunity to COVID19 (SARS-CoV-2) will be similar.
So as the days have passed New Zealand's plan to completely eliminate the virus looks better and better, as explained in Maty's link.
I believe this is also planned for Australia even if the talk is of "suppression", this seems to be to control expectations and provide deniability if it doesn't work out.
Australia is now down to only a dozen or so new cases for the entire country each day.
The ratio of tests for each new case has now exceeded 1,000 to 1, and that's in the worst hit state.
In my own territory (ACT) there has been only 1 new case in days so the ratio is "infinite" on the other days.
The Chief Medical Officer of Australia doesn't even quote numbers for the ACT, says it's statistically pointless.
So this is "War to Extermination"
"We're not trapped in here with the coronavirus. The coronavirus is trapped in here with us"
Thanks to Randall Munroe.
Best wishes to all

So far what is known about SARS-Cov 2 indicates that we are between the second and third scenarios, given the low level of IgG detected in those who have overcome the disease, that is, that immunity will probably be for a short period of time.
Because it mutates more than previously thought, it will probably require repeated vaccination once a major mutation is detected.
The first vaccine is likely to be 40%-50% effective, perhaps enough to contain the infection. The following, cheaper, will be more effective. The question is when?

Is there a Kiwi here who can explain NZ’s apparent success? My reading is they locked down similarly to many other places, but enforced compliance better. What’s the full story?

That they acted very quickly, thus avoiding the exponential phase of the contagion that would have made it uncontrollable for weeks as Italy, Spain, UK and others.
Unfortunately in many western countries governments are made up of increasingly mediocre people. When a difficult situation has to be managed, they demonstrate their inability, and above they put their interests and ideology before the common good, thinking only about how to stay in power longer or to achieve it.
Mediocre and without ethical or moral principles, being a distorted reflection, but a reflection in the end of the societies that choose them.
Thanks for sharing. I’m sure we all want a doctor who minimizes the impact of human suffering and advises to not take action in a pandemic. Some if his statements are flat wrong, for example, regarding aerosols, as the Chinese restaurant study shows. Many of the sweeping statements about excess hospital capacity are either gratuitous or out of date. Frankly, I am disgusted.
