I wouldn't go that far friend, I have several toys that the "Honey Badger" sees no need of?? so what we can say for certain, is that if indeed the "Honey Badger" is unhappy, then the Air Force Brat is also "miserable", from the old "misery loves company" school of thought, to which the "Honey Badger" fully ascribes and gives considerable instruction.....

but to concede, yes if she is indeed happy, its a least likely that the "Air Force Brat" has a high probability of being able to continue those activities which bring me happiness. Keep in mind however that sometimes making me miserable does indeed bring her considerable joy??

Some of you guys with wives, steady girlfriends?? know what I mean

Wow, TMI. Brat, TMI! Lol. It is a figure of speech in the UK. we ofter say, if your Mrs is happy, then you must be happy, as you are not getting nagged at about everything under the sun! And you are free to go about your business without worrying about the other half!

I wasn't meant to pry your private life! Sorry.

this study is confined to acute respiratory cases presenting and admitted to the intensive care units of one of two hospitals. Results are highly driven by acute underlying health conditions, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and by treatment provided by the hospital.....

Your observations are skewed by your lack of perspective, furthermore these results are "worst case" scenarios of "worst case" patients, several of whom were placed on ventilators, only one of whom survived the vent....

...

as well this is NOT some clinical study, it is observations of widely divergent patients and patient care......

So :
-this is not my observation, it is simple the data from the first few hundred patient.
-I don't know what is the practice in the USA, but elsewhere in the world not possible to infect random selection of patients to make a clinical study, and observe who will die an who won't.
So in the case of viruses like SARS, EBOLA ,SARS II and so on the only way to get data is to observe the clinical cases, and all statistic could only be established based on that.


And it is a sound tool ,considering few company/institute can afford to run controlled trials with its production , so typically all that you have is data mining from the running cases.

I actually think the South Korea response is similar to China.

You have real time tracking of every smartphone individual. Visitors have to download a surveillance app on their phone.

There are very high levels of testing as well.

When combined with sensible social distancing and staying at home if sick, it is feasible to isolate cases before it becomes an outbreak.

Where it failed in Korea was when a religious Christian cult continued to demand sick members attend packed gatherings every day. Because the government didn't ban mass gatherings, they just kept doing what they had always done.

We can now see that China is relaxing its own restrictions, after the initial scare. At the beginning, it was a truly unknown disease.

The correct title of the article should be

"South Korea's virus responds is somewhat different from China's - and it work too"

But hey, it won't generate many clicks that way - another Truth in Advertising example.

China should not be the only success story in the fight against Covid-19, for the sake of the world. There are several others.

The best for any country is to pick the best practices from other countries that have gone through the fight which will fit well with their own political, social, cultural and health systems. The worst for any country is to reject and bash a good practice simply for ideological reason.

Just another supporting FACT that China is on the road to recovery while the rest of the world is still in the middle or early stage of the fight.
