Cali added 101k tests today with a 5% rate of positives, plus another 95k yesterday at 7%.

If it weren't for the hospitalizations climbing, I wouldn't be concerned, but those hospital numbers are bad. Gotta get those back down.

You know Brazil f***ed when it took a court order to get the president on board with the Covid mask s***

Mexico with 1.2 mil infections

Mexico

They probably only testing people when they're already on their way to die because of it. Horrible.

Soon they'll be dumping niggas on the streets

You feeling tired ? Or a slight fever

Severe COVID-19 can damage the brain, preliminary study finds

"A preliminary study of patients hospitalised with COVID-19 has found the disease can damage the brain, causing complications such as stroke, inflammation, psychosis and dementia-like symptoms in some severe cases.

The findings are the first detailed look at a range of neurological complications of COVID-19, the researchers said, and underline a need for larger studies to find the mechanisms behind them and assist the search for treatments.

"This (is) an important snapshot of the brain-related complications of COVID-19 in hospitalised patients. It is critically important that we continue to collect this information to really understand this virus fully," said Sarah Pett, a University College London professor who co-led the work.

The study, published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal on Thursday (Jun 25), looked in detail at 125 cases from across the UK. Co-lead researcher Benedict Michael, from Liverpool University, said it was important to note that it focused on severe cases.

Data was collected between Apr 2 and Apr 26 - when the disease was spreading exponentially in the UK.

The most common brain complication seen was stroke, which was reported in 77 of 125 patients. Of these, most were in patients over 60, and most were caused by a blood clot in the brain, known as an ischaemic stroke.

The study also found that 39 of the 125 patients showed signs of confusion or changes in behaviour reflecting an altered mental state. Of these, nine had unspecified brain dysfunction, known as encephalopathy, and seven had inflammation of the brain, or encephalitis."

Man

We ain’t goin back to the office for the rest of the year...

I hate working from home

S*** is not good here in California, but it could be a lot worse. At least our leaders are paying attention.

Mini Trump in Brazil is acting like this s*** is a big joke

If this is true

Nah nothing. Feel the same I’ve always felt this summer. Wouldn’t even say my throat hurts per say, just a little tickle.

We’ll find out tomorrow when I wake up I guess lmao

I feel like China taking this seriously is one (dumb) reason why Americans are so opposed to doing so

Does the media even show the lengths many Asian countries are tackling this?

I was talking to my mom about everything last night and she seemed surprised that Asian cultures have been wearing masks for f***ing decades at this point. I think a lot of people have no idea.

Hopefully you don't wake up sounding like this nigga

well good sliver of news is that 649 deaths with 40,000 cases is fairly good. back in April if there were that many cases there would be 2000+ dead.

Good point lol. I know a few people who just stopped reading the news about this altogether

This would explain the pence announcement

F*** Chinese government

US has arguably caused more deaths at this point

Play stupid games...

Grab a drink or something and read through this stats heavy article on the epidemiological impact and danger of COVID-19:

I'm sure someone could find holes in his process and conclusions, but there are some useful charts in there. This one definitely leans toward a more optimistic perspective, but I don't feel his recommendations or conclusions are irresponsible.

Hopefully they learn from this

Man this whole thing is crazy

Where is the end
