    Jim goes to hospital as he suspects he has the flu.
    The hospital test for two types of flu A&B.
    They look for H1N1 as well as RSV.
    ......
    "testing for Covid"

    They perform a PCR test on a strand of RNA from the patient.
    They amplify the RNA strand,if any damaged cells appear on the test the are listed as covid sufferers.
    The damaged cells can be from cancer,radiation amongst many other ailments or defects.
    There is no test for Covid19.

    Alot of doctors starting to speak out about this..Apparently the H1N1 blows the socs of this illness.

    3 deaths that were reported earlier have now been discounted by HSE, none geographically located, so left in totals.
    [HSE - late Mar. AFAIR, 15th Apr, 21st Apr.]

    Huge amount of deaths in the Detroit area, it is by far the most affected single urban area in the US after NYC.
    As of yesterday evening 2100 deaths in Detroit metro area, which has a population of around 4.3 million.An additional 232 more deaths today, almost all deaths in the state of Michigan appear to be occurring in the Detroit area. Wonder if poverty/poor health is having a big effect there

    According to wiki in 2010 82% of residents were African Americans.... For some reason they seem to be badly hit with this virus..... Sickle cell anaemia is also very common for the African race so I wonder if there's a link, but that's purely speculation on my part.

    I'd imagine poverty has a big impact on outcomes with this.

    Deaths today recorded so far in the US - 2,109.

    They also happen to the poorer portion of that community with little health care or job security.

    How on earth could the urban poor be suffering especially badly from this virus, wondered no-one ever.

    Vitamin D deficiency is possible, South Asian medical staff have been casualties in northern European countries, so the socio economic argument wouldn't be the driver there.

    Are you sure about this? It would be staggering news. Every country doing fake tests for covid 19.

    Our recovered rate just got added to Worldometers, tipped the recovered/death rate back to 80/20 instead of 79/21.

    The numbers have taken on a completely different meaning once the true recovered numbers are included. There are now around 6000 active cases in Ireland. I don't know if we are going the get the recovered figures everyday or, just every so often, as a cumulative total. It is a great way to see how the virus is growing or being suppressed in the community by looking at the number of active cases on a daily basis.

    I would expect the Irish population to be pretty deficient in vit d... Not like we get alot of sunshine. I know myself I should take supplements but don't, I doubt I'm unique.

    It's just rambling nonsense. No damaged cells are detected during RT-PCR, and primers specific to Sars-CoV-2 are used to amplify the sequence so only Sars-CoV-2 is detected.

    Detroit is an outlier, neglected City for ages. Very sorry to hear the stats from there.

    But anyway, to me as long as the Red States are not affected, it will be another Trump victory.

    Brace yourselves.

    Good few reports still to come in as well.

    Meanwhile...I just find the behaviour coming from governors and mayors extraordinary through this mostly on the Republican side. It's crazy.

    I don't know is it denial, selfishness, an allergy to facts?

    The US is making itself the biggest threat to the rest of us right now through this sort of leadership up and down the country.

    There was a video released showing two men in the white house press room prepping trumps broadcast.The hot mic that was on record,one of the men tells the other to not bother with the face mask,everyone apart from him in the room was vaccinated.He mentioned the mortality rate was .1 to.3 percent he also mentions the amount of infected people is over 400.000 in cali alone.The tone of the conversation was very nonchalant.

    a quick google tells me it was two media photographers and they were joking around. does anybody actually fact check stuff anymore?? that took me all of 10 seconds.

    Some of these leaders are dangerously incompetent.

    Can you imagine an Irish politician saying this?
    Actually!
