Coronavirus deaths are increasing
On Friday March 27, Italy, Spain, USA and many other countries had more deaths than on any day so far.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries (click on yesterday)
919 died of coronavirus in Italy in one day, 773 in Spain. 401 died in the USA. This is becoming worse than many people believed, with 27,352 deaths so far.
Nelson Cuevas, one of Boxing's most famous cutmen died on Friday of coronavirus.
During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Cuevas worked countless corners as both a trainer and a cut man. He worked alongside late trainer Al Certo as a cut man for two-weight world champion James “Buddy” McGirt, was a cut man for another two-division champion, Vinny Pazienza, and served in the same capacity for 1976 Olympic gold medalist and longtime contender Howard Davis Jr. He was a trainer and cut man for lightweight champion Carlos Ortiz during Ortiz’s comeback and also worked the corner of hard-hitting heavyweight contender Earnie Shavers.
Derrick Jefferson, one of the most exciting heavyweights of the late 1990s, is on life support after testing positive for COVID-19.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
The three categories in which people have a high chance of dying if they catch the virus:
1) Pre-existing chronic health condition
2) Compromised immunity system (for example, low lymphocytes or low white blood cell count)
3) Age 65 or over
Very few people under 50 die of coronavirus, unless they have an pre-existing health condition.
But some young people who have recovered say it's the worst pain they have ever endured. It has been described as feeling like one's lungs are bursting and feeling like there is someone standing on their chest so they can barely breathe. It it can continue day after day for two or three weeks.

Italy received the virus some ten days before the USA.
During the next week we'll likely see an increase in the death rate in America, where many people have just become sick the past few days.

They say 86.5 percent of those that died were over 70. They are also talking about poor testing and medical treatment in general

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
12,384 have recovered in Italy, of 92,472 confirmed cases.
3,224 have recovered in the USA, of 116,326 confirmed cases.
The numbers show that the USA is still in the early stages, while Italy may be at or past it's worst.

Yes, people over 70 especially those with pre-existing health problems are more likely to die.
Italy was hit earlier than other places. They were caught off-guard and unprepared.
Here in Canada, we've had time to take measures: preparing nursing homes, closing the schools, theatres, fining stores and restaurants for not enforcing the two-meter policy, etc.

I don’t know freedom I can’t say you are wrong but Italy just reported it’s highest death rate in one day. They don’t seem to think they are at the end. Italy is saying the death may be higher than reported as so many people are dying at home untested. So what, I think we are 13 days behind Italy? Don’t quote me on that. This whole thing really sucks. Here we are talking numbers saying oh your next, but think of all the families or the poor bastards who died alone. What’s going to happen is going to happen. I hope the us morality rate doesn’t jump 8-9% but my crystal ball broke. Early on during this thing an Israeli biotech company reported they found this virus in poultry and had been working on it prior to breaking out. They said they could produce a vaccine in 3 months. Not saying they would have the doses ready for injection but the vaccine itself. That was on Bloomberg financial news, I’ve heard nothing more about it.

I’m not sure I believe that mate, viruses are indiscriminate killers. Despite what a certain idiot says, Coronavirus is freakily contagious and it does not racially profile it’s victims. What is more likely is:
- they haven’t a clue how many people in their country have the virus (same as us)
- they have no widely available means of testing (same as us)
- they are not attributing deaths that happen to the virus
- healthcare isn’t great, and it’s certainly not universally available
- or they are lying, in order to prevent mass panic and total breakdown of civil order
We will never know the true numbers of Bangladeshis or Zimbabweans that died from this, but rest assured that they will be more than sharing our own pain. ������

Italy's death rate now may be past it's peak with 756 today compared to over 900 a couple of days ago. Still very high, but it will get better.
US cases and deaths are still increasing every day, and will probably peak by the end of this week and decline slowly during the rest of April.

Anthony Yarde urges people to stay at home after father dies from coronavirus
British boxer Anthony Yarde has announced that his father has passed away after contracting coronavirus.
The 28-year-old said his father was healthy and suffering from no underlying health issues and urged people to stay at home and stop ignoring lockdown measures.
“I’m a very private person and TBH I’m still in shock but maybe this can help people stay home,” Yarde wrote on Instagram.
“My dad passed away from this virus yesterday and he was fit with no health issues. The more people go out and mingle the longer this isolation will last and the more it will spread.
“I’m not a doctor but I do know if you stay home you are less likely to catch it or pass it on. It’s seriously not worth the risk.”
A statement released by Yarde’s promoter, Frank Warren, read: “Frank Warren and everyone at Queensberry Promotions would like to express sincere condolences to Anthony Yarde and his family after the untimely passing of his father.
“Coronavirus is an issue affecting all of us, but that doesn’t make the individual casualties any less tragic.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/pB...14c757bb8bf66e
“We hope that his fans listen to Anthony’s heartfelt plea for people to take the government’s advice seriously so we can try and minimise the suffering of others.”
Yarde, who has won 19 of his 20 professional fights, was scheduled to fight for the Commonwealth light heavyweight title at the O2 Arena in April before the event was postponed due to the pandemic.
A further 260 deaths were confirmed in the United Kingdom on Saturday, taking the death toll to 1,019, with over 17,000 cases reported in total.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
Ways coronavirus is different from influenza:
1. More deadly to the elderly and people with compromised immunity systems or health conditions
2. More contagious than the flu
3. Less dangerous to children than the flu
4. More painful and more damaging to the lungs

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
Spain had it's worst day with 913 deaths.
USA had 573 deaths and 20,353 new cases. By the end of the week, USA may be having over 1000 deaths per day.
Canada had it's worst day yesterday as well.

563 dead today in the UK, and the day is not over yet.
I have a lot of relatives in the UK, I hope they'll be okay.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
1,355 died in France today from coronavirus.
France's totals reported in past days have been lower than the real number, because until today they were only counting COVID-19 deaths in hospitals, not adding deaths outside hospitals.
I think many countries are under-reporting.

One of my wife’s coworkers interacted with someone who is now on a ventilator with the wuhan virus. He’s out for a while.

What is the reason?
I know airborne viruses don't stay in the air long in warm humid air, like they do in cool dry air. That's why there are more people with colds and influenza in winter than summer.
But although COVID-19 is airborne to a degree, it is said to spread mainly people touching surfaces like doorknobs.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
USA had 1970 deaths yesterday, and may surpass 2000 today. A frightening 45,870 new cases in the USA today.
14,508 have died in the USA so far.
More Americans have died in the US from Covid-19 in the past week, than died in all the wars of the 21st century (Iraq, Afghanistan).

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
We’re way of peaking.
And there’ll be a second strain of this thing to follow that’s maybe worse.
Lockdown till September minimum.
No way will there be any commercial air travel till at least next spring.
Life as we know it is over.

I think Denilson might have got it wrong with the black immunity from the Wuhan virus theory. The silly man. Adrien Broner is potentially more intelligent than him.

The US is a big country. There are things we can do. Does it makes since to treat the entire country like NY or other hot spots. We have many areas with very low to no cases. Can we start opening up businesses in these areas. Why treat the upper peninsula of Minnesota the same as NYC. I don’t foresee a complete reopening by May either but something gotta happen. People are going to, and are getting nailed financially. If we can safely start opening some areas in a month perhaps we should. At least get some people back to normalcy.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
thats the thing - we are saying that here about London and maybe treating it differently.
Not sure what the answer is

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
Just get back to concentrating on containing the virus including any second wave. Forget about any end date because people will get stupid and start spreading it again.

This would take an enormous amount of coordination, logistics, and leadership. Not just talking about Trump here, but is the country capable of pulling off something like this? I understand about the extremely rural parts of the country, including farm land and sparsely populated regions. What's needed for NYC, Chicago, LA, New Orleans, and others isn't necessarily what is needed in Montana, Wyoming, etc. But it would have to be done carefully and with the utmost precision, lest that second wave mentioned by @Master becomes a reality. The country can't afford a restart of the crisis.

Re: Coronavirus deaths are increasing
If people are more careful, we can get this under control.
What annoys me is that some (usually young) people won't go along with the distancing rules and are careless, not taking it seriously at all.
It may not kill young people at a high rate, but if they catch it, they will likely be sicker than they've ever been in their lives. And it the misery continues for about three weeks, about twice as long as regular influenza, which goes on for about ten days.
