I had no idea about many of those folk.

I have couple more old jazz guys to add, sadly. Marsalis is not the only jazz legend we lost this month.

John Prine was the one that got to me.  There were others whose names are lost in blur of this pandemic.

Just today, Adam Alsing, a Swedish TV profile well known around here, died from coronavirus complications. He was 51.

You know, every time I start thinking that maybe this isn't that bad, maybe we'll survive, there's news like this. Someone who I'd never have thought would die from this, dies. This really is that bad. I'm glad I can vent here.

Allen Daviau, Director of Photography for some of Steven Spielberg's earlier films, died of the virus. :'(

Yeah I knew about all the rest except for him!

My friend who has been in ICU since the end of March and is still fighting it, is a famous Broadway actor, Nick Cordero. They had to amputate his leg two days. the ventilator causes a lot of side effects, one of them was his leg kept clotting but when they put him on blood thinners, he started bleeding internally. It was either they take his leg or he dies. Horrific scenario.

Wow, I'm so sorry about your friend. That is just awful, I hope he gets better soon  :(

This Virus is terrible. So many weird things it causes, I've also watched COVID stories on YT which, I do not recommend.  :laugh:
And people are like "Yeah, I thought I was gonna die!" some had like schizoprenic symptoms, ontop of not breathing. Some passed out and lost coinscoiusness, One guy said his skin felt like he had a sunburn, another lady had a fever for 9 or 10 days straight. Such a weird disease it is. Just have to ride it out inside your house and hope you survive

Hopefully a cure can be found soon, but I imagine most of us will get this Virus. They just don't want it to crush your healthcare system in whatever country you are in, so having everybody mitigate it by staying home is all they can do, but more than likely we will all get it unless they can eradicate it like Smallpox

There is another way, eradicate it like SARS and MERS. Ramp up testing, get in touch with every contact of a person who tests positive, it might even be possible to detect the virus in raw sewage and track it to specific suburbs or localities. Stamp it out at the source.

I keep wondering why they aren't ramping up testing around here.

Limited availability of test kits and high cost.

Hopefully there will be more and cheaper in coming months.

Apparently, I've heard somewhere which started in Singapore which basically uses the same technology as a pregnancy test but modified. They take a blood test and use a drop of blood on the device itself. The results come up as little as 10 minutes.

Also it would be much cheaper and faster to produce.

They developed a test in Canada which has results in under an hour. I heard it was going to be approved for mass distribution last week but didn't hear if that went through or not. I suspect it did.
