A total of 694 new cases of the virus in just a little over 12 hours today with 73 recoveries and 68 deaths. - these numbers are about to go off the charts when they start all these new testing Tomorrow , the number of cases is just going to explode
I just hope people realize that we are about to get the full picture with widespread testing, rather than thinking that the virus has started spreading more rapidly.
We are heading for thousands of new cases on a daily basis once testing is widespread enough. To everyone on the board, try to make sure people around you don’t freak out. Practice safe social distancing, so hopefully the number of serious cases (needing hospitalization and ventilators) stays manageable. We do not want to be in the situation they are in over in Italy, where they are having to make decisions about which patients need a ventilator the most, or which has the best chance to recover if using the ventilator.

On a less serious note I don’t think many of you are clicking on the link I shared above and I would highly encourage you to do so for a good laugh.

@benshawks08 Rex is great.

Today in President Trump’s briefing he was talking that this could go into July or August & now not wanting people in any groups bigger then 3 or 4. - - -Obama’s former head talking about that by the 23rd of March how the Hospitals would be over run.
Kind of curious here in Topeka things going down makes you wonder , they are putting up military guard stations around the VA hospital - - makes you wonder , falls in line with shut down quarinte you take care buddy. - -me myself as an older guy with Heart and kidney conditions really have to be careful. - -I believe got supplies for awhile, plenty of water just ration food if it comes to it - -THANKS for hollering bud and ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

There’s something weird going on in my town in Wyoming. Last Friday I heard, through very credible sources, that there are 6 confirmed cases that are in the hospital now. However there’s no public knowledge of this.
I was in part of the hospital Friday and over heard a practice manager and someone else higher up talk. All I heard clearly was “we got another one” The other person said “shit we better get in front of this and not let the press know.”
Why would they not want the public to know? Now this hospital is as corrupt as can be.

No school in ks, rest of year!

Know a lot of people that are NOT going to be happy about this.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah that’s my only guess. Hopefully it’s as innocent as that. Again I know of how shady every upper management is in that place including the CEO. Sad it’s one of the 2 biggest hospitals in our state.
Any who be safe guys.

Moving to remote learning. Hope teachers are good with Zoom.

This will put a fair share strain on several Kansas families. But I do think it is the right move going forward to protect our youth. It’s gonna get hairy for several small business, which is scary because I work for a small business that employs 17 people. It will be tough for us to survive with no income business wise.
-
Ok, were all pretty sports knowledgeable here So here is one you may not have heard yet. - - KEVIN DURANT has tested positive for the virus
-
Things really taking off with this Virus in Kansas now. - - - Johnson County now has like 10 confirmed cases. - - - 17 presumtive positive cases here in Shawnee County and 50 others being monitered. - -Wynadotte County with I believe 5 positive cases now - - - Ford county - -Douglas County right there with ou boys, Douglas County has gotten it’s 1st positive case - - -KEVIN DURANT has tested positive. - - ALL SCHOOLS DONE for the year -the entire the rest of the year.

@FarmerJayhawk google classroom

@BShark yeah, I know! It’s kinda like the Jayhawks bb season. Right thing but it’s sucks. No proms, graduations. Our bb team was probably going to be ranked #1. I feel for them. I can’t imagine losing your senior yr if u r involved in activities. I know this will help me. On the other hand I have 1 son that’s in a high risk medical category job. They will shut down next week except for emergencies. Just hate this.

Working on the kids that depend on the free lunches, some the only decent food they get. Lots of churches and groups stepping up. Mahomes and chiefs are stepping up!

I hope this kid is going to the ER despite rona concerns. I’m not a doctor but isn’t 105 burning brain cell territory? Hopefully it’s actually 100.5? My mom used to say the latter as “one hundred and five” and will argue to this day that “and” represents the .
Hope that fever comes down.

@benshawks08 my youngest had febrile seizures at 1 1/2 w/that hi of temp. My husband gave him mouth to mouth. He turned purple, mouth, fingers. Was limp afterwards, scared the
out of him. He picked up our nurse neighbor and headed to ER. I wasn’t home. When we got to ER I could hear him screaming, music to a moms ears! He slept for the first time w/us, husband decision. Scared him that bad. Even though they said he was likely to have them again, he didn’t. Long story.

More than half of the elementary kids in our district depend on free meals. The schools are closed down but the district is using school busses to deliver meals. I don’t know how successful it is but it is an attempt.
-
We’re doing a pickup line at 2 schools. The kid has to be present. Get a lunch and breakfast for the next day. Sounds like it’s open to any kid. Maybe kids from hutch district might go.

Dam listening to the Gov of New York. Just some stunning numbers. - -New York now accounts for 2/3 of ALL Corona virus infections across the US. - -TWO THIRDS ! ! ! !- -over 8,000 cases in New York alone.
Also the Gov also said that the dam younger people are just ignoring the facts/situation - like he says - -you CAN’T DO THAT. - Saying Oh well I can’t get that - - it isn’t effecting me - - - -YES , YES IT IS. and with that type of approach -you infecting your Mom , your Dad , your Grandmother , Grandfather - -any elderly - -wake up. The Gov saying that the age range individual between the age of 18-49 yrs of age IN NEW YORK this age group is making up 54% of all cases of Corona virus in New York come on people wake up - -quit being so selfish - - stupid - -not only CAN this virus hit you but it HAS - mercy come on

@jayballer73 Never been happier to be rural and nowhere near NY or California.
-
This is so sad. I hope this is their worst day and things turn for the better tomorrow for Italy.
-
@approxinfinity it’s going to get ugly here.
However if anyone really believes Italy has more deaths than China I’ve got some ocean front property in KS for sale.
-
@BShark at your place?
🥴
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yes. Ocean front property just outside Topeka. Amazing!
-
I fear Italy’s worst day so far will be one a number of countries will in the future wish they could limit their losses to.
Hate to be a downer, but that curve is going close to straight up and will for awhile until it starts to flatten out. I suspect for 12 to 18 months we will see ups and downs and wild swings as we realize that economic activity cannot stop entirely and as people get exposed in waves. I hope I am wrong, but I think people need to know the need to prepare for mre dufficulties than we could have ever imagined.
I would be more optimistic if they had a firm idea of whether anyone is immune after recovering. But with over 300,000 cases worldwide, they still do not seem to know because of the difficulty in knowing if people got ill a second time or just were declared recovered incorrectly. A vaccine depends on knowing that progression accurately.
-
I guess the 1st case of the Virus in Riley County is a K-State professor in Journalism. - Him and students took a trip to London and felt pretty ill after his return. - His wife said he has Bi-lateral Peunomia and is on Oxygen and is not getting better. - -Mercy

Yes. This won’t just go away. Like every other virus it will mutate. We need this period though to reduce infection rate. This has been around for longer than we thought too. My friend’s son was sick in September. Bad fever and cough for two weeks, had to get an inhaler. Drs had no real idea what to make of it but in hindsight it would seems to have been corona.
The best thing anyone can do is be clean. I got knocked on my ass by a virus in 2017 and have been a lot more serious since then. Got more active, lost weight, eating better and washing my hands a lot more. I was lazy about washing my hands but having to crawl set me straight.
-
Interesting article about vaccines they are trying to develop.
And apparently I was quite wrong about recovered people–the article talks about trying to use the antibodies from blood of recovered people as a vaccine for others.
The Atlantic has removed its paywall for coronavirus coverage, so follow the links to many excellent stories.

@BShark I do put a fair amount of blame on the Chinese government for this deal. They could’ve stopped anyone from leaving the country til it blew over. They probably wouldn’t have done anything had the doctor they likely killed not spoke up.

Also looks like Louisiana getting ready to become the 4th State to going into total shutdown, getting ready to announce is what came across just now.
Also looking like well now Ohio has ordered a total shutdown of the State.

Yeah this is really bad! It’s both good and bad that it is minor for some people. Good that people can survive but bad because it means people were spreading it without knowing.
Louisiana is quickly becoming triage. Folks out during Mardi gras…
