Switzerland today :

-1'390 new cases in the last 24h
-12'161 total cases
-197 deaths

So far 97'012 tests were performed, 12% turning positives

They have started sending military reinforcements to the borders, in order to supplement the border agents long term.

So far we are not under strict confinement yet, unlike a number of neighboring countries, despite some of the more afflicted Cantons issuing stricter directives, like Ticino closing all industries.
General recommendations from the Federal Council so far are :
-stay home (particularly if sick or >65y)
-leave only to work (if home-office impossible), go to the doctor, pharmacy, purchase groceries or help a relative
-gatherings above 5 are forbidden
-recommended physical distancing is 2m

In Paris the ICU limit is expected to be exceeded in two days.

Catastrophe aka new Milan/Madrid inc. It's the biggest city in Europe, too.....

Given the number of Parisians who escaped to their country houses or Provincial relatives just before the lock-down came into force, and how short of healthcare some parts of the countryside can be, this does not bode well...

Myth or Truth that young people don't die from Coronavirus?

Chinese government wants the world to believe that, so all governments want that virus to balance the social security fund.

Myth or Truth that young people don't die from Coronavirus?

They do die. Family of my dad has a doc working in Iran and he had patients die as young as 28.
It's just less likely, because a young, healthy body can put up more of a fight.

Are they shipping patients across the country to try and spread the load?

[Fargus]

It's very hard to transport ICU patients as it is. Then there won't be enough ambulances to transport them all if it peaks. It's a logistical and medical nightmare.

It's a virus, so people believe being healthy and having a good immune makes you immune, this is false. It makes you bounce back sooner but nobody is immune for this.
What elements are in play why one is hit worse than the other is not fully know, there is talk of there being two strains.

I guess a bunch of my fellow teachers have tested positive.

My school is talking about their wanting to close for the rest of the school year since it's projected more positive cases will come up and we won't have enough teachers.

We're attempting to work out some form of online classes, but many people in the area don't have access to the tools needed so I'm not sure what's going to happen.

It's the city and state's call. I'm in Massachusetts by the way.

He already has...

After his announcement that chloroquine phosphate (the same chemical in aquarium cleaner) might be a game changer for combating coronavirus, people died.

To be fair it is being tested in clinical studies at the moment, and We already had news abefore his little announcement that afew other idiots overdosed on the stuff. So this is more on the man who decided to self medicate with this stuff that already has warning labels saying not for human consumption. Not that I think he won’t get more Americans killed anyway, this part is just on people being retarded.
