I have a feeling America (both North and South) will be hit much harder by the virus than Europe.

Yeah and then I think India is going to blow everyone out of the water, 1.4bn people with a crumbling health service and no ability to lockdown like China has

Have you got a link for this change?

Sorry but I can't keep an eye on top of the minutia of reporting in every single country on the planet.:rolleyes:

But why post about it then if you don't know...
I've only read a small part of the thread and last time i looked you were showing misleading videos off paris!!

The situation how the deaths were being reported in france was disscussed in all french media for 2 days last week. Their government has committed either last Thursday or friday to put up the real figures from monday on.

Moscow has been quarantined

So, nursing home deaths will not be included either ?

Sorry don't know but it's a reasonable inference.

Heard it in passing on radio or TV within past hour possibly it was in context of the homes.

Because I did know what the policy was.

You are saying it has changed. If so, great.

Have you a link that it's changed?

It would go some way to explain the jump in recorded deaths.

Heard Prince Charles is over it. Do you think they were given a small dose of a different strain. Seems a lot of important people getting it but not that ill.

90%+ of people who get it are getting over it and getting better and getting back to normal. Why should famous people be any different?

They are probably prescribed anti-virals, while most ordinary people not hospitalised have to cope with paracetamol.

The number being sought is the number of tests the labs in aggregate can process daily.

The qualifications you are citing, apply to any processing operation distributed over separate locations.

The usual method of dealing with them is establish maximum practical throughput per location, then in aggregate the fluctuations between locations can usually be expected to balance out.

Any significant deviations in throughput normally indicate/reflect a system failure.

Absence of information and obfuscation is what leads to rumour and fear, not seeking information/clarification.

That's difficult to estimate in the case of RT PCR. The lab analysis has roughly 5 main steps 1) book in of samples. 2) RNA extraction 3) cDNA synthesis 4) RT-PCR 5) analysis and results reporting. These are discrete steps and can be split over different days. e.g samples from late afternoon may have RNA extracted and stored in a -80C for the following day's shift. Alternatively finished cDNA may be held in a -20C freezer until a machine is free to conduct RT-PCR. The labs are generally overlapping all of these steps to maximise output, for example while a machine is running an RT-PCR plate for one set of patients the scientist may begin making another batch of cDNA from a different cohort. I'm not involved in covid-19 testing but I imagine the scientists who are are busy enough processing samples and analysing results without devoting time to figuring estimating how many tests they can do in a day for someone on boards.ie.

Glad to hear that Kermit, you had me worried!

253 more deaths in New York, deaths rise to 1218 with a total of almost 67,000 cases now

If New York was a country it would now be 5th in the world for total cases !

Very rough in the Big Apple as this virus causes carnage.

Also Spain has overtaken China in terms of total cases.

No briefing?

France is not including deaths outside hospitals in it's figures (like nursing homes, homes etc).

I don't know why.

There must be some practical reason for it.

Article on France's reporting.

• Hospital deaths are reported via a system called SI-VIC
• Other deaths are reported via another system called CépiDC
• Nursing home (Ehpad) deaths are not yet counted. A system to report them is currently being worked on.

It's very sad. The people were given four hours to plan before lockdown measures were enforced. Hundreds of thousands clambered across each other vying for access to transport home. Many are resigned to walking hundreds of kilometres back to their villages and some have died doing so. There's not enough food provisioned to feed the homeless men, women and children.
