Information taken from an article in the UK:

An analysis of 3,883 Covid-19 patients admitted to 229 critical care units in England, Wales and Northern Ireland up to Thursday has been published by the Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre.

Of these patients, 871 have died, 818 have been discharged, and 2,194 were last reported as still receiving critical care.

The average age of the patients was 59.8 years. Some 72.5% were male, and 27.5% female. Some 66.4% were white, 14.4% Asian, 11.9% black, and 1.3% of mixed race.

Nearly three-quarters of the patients had a body mass index higher than the recommended healthy level of 18.5 to 25. Some 35% had a BMI of 25 to 30 - the overweight range. And 38.5% had a BMI over more than 30 - putting them in the obese range.

Quick question.

Obesity is cited, alongside high blood pressure, as a condition that could increase likelihood of c19 death.

Here is a list of countries by obesity prevalence

Could this not be a stronger predictor of death than anything else?

China, Japan, Korea are way down. UK and US are way up. Scandinavia is in the middle.

20,000: US death toll overtakes Italy’s as Midwest braces

https://apnews.com

So sad this is happening

The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus eclipsed Italy’s for the highest in the world Saturday at about 20,000, as Chicago and other cities across the Midwest braced for a potential surge in victims and moved to snuff out smoldering hot spots of contagion before they erupt.

There have now been 19,701 deaths reported by the US, according to John Hopkins University. That compares to 19,468 reported by Italy's government

Trump Organization laid off employees as pandemic hits business

The Trump Organization has laid off or furloughed about 1,500 employees at hotels in the United States and Canada as the coronavirus pandemic inflicts further pain on the president’s private business.

With most of President Trump’s hotels and clubs closed amid stay-at-home orders around the world, the Trump Organization has responded by slashing costs, much like other companies in the hospitality and tourism industries. The Trump Organization has laid off or furloughed employees at hotels in New York, the District of Columbia, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Vancouver and Honolulu, according to public filings and people familiar with the properties, including union officials.

Seventeen of Trump’s clubs and hotels have closed. The remainder of Trump properties are operating at a fraction of their normal capacity: hotels running with restaurants closed, golf clubs operating with clubhouses shut down, and golfers warned not to share carts or touch the flagsticks.

All told, the closed properties generated an average of $650,000 in revenue for Trump per day, according to Trump’s past financial disclosures.

That economic strain has pushed Trump Organization officials to inquire about possible relief, at least temporarily, from the company’s financial obligations at one of its properties.

In Palm Beach County, Fla., the Trump Organization has not paid rent of $54,534.25 that was due April 1 on land it leases from the county government for the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, a county representative said Friday.

“Because payment has not become due, and in light of Governor’s DeSantis’ executive order shutting down businesses throughout the State of Florida as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, the County advised us to refrain from making payment until they have finalized their policy for the handling of their numerous leases,” Alan Garten, a Trump Organization executive, said in a statement. “As soon as the County finalizes its guidance, we will, of course, fully and timely comply with its directives as well as continue to comply with the requirements of the lease.”

Palm Beach County officials did not respond to a question about Garten’s comment that the company was advised not to make the payment.

The West Palm Beach golf club sits on county land, and the Trump Organization pays $995,000 per year for two leases that pertain to one 18-hole and one nine-hole course, according to county officials. No monthly payment had been received on the 18-hole lease, which is administered by the county airports department, said Nicole Ferris, a county spokeswoman. She did not respond to questions about the second rent payment, of $33,804.88, that also was due April 1.

Democrats slam Trump’s ‘dead of night’ decision to fire intelligence community IG

Democrats on Friday reacted furiously to President Trump’s decision to fire the intelligence community inspector general who informed Congress about the Ukraine whistleblower complaint.

"Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing," said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who chairs the House Intelligence Committee.

Trump Org Reportedly Seeking Debt Help From Deutsche As Bank Is Probed By DOJ

https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/deutsche-bank-trump-debt-help-coronavirus-conflict-of-interest_n_5e87ee89c5b6cc1e47758499?ri18n=true

In another tangled ethics situation for Donald Trump, the president’s Trump Organization is reportedly asking to postpone its loan payments to Deutsche Bank — which is being investigated by the Department of Justice to determine if it complied with anti-money laundering regulations.

The situation highlights the unique power of Trump as president to maneuver a deal for his business hurt by the COVID-19 crisis, particularly with a bank under investigation by his own administration.

Trump did not divest from his businesses when he moved into the White House as other presidents have done to avoid conflicts of interest. The current scenario is the “absolute nightmare that someone (ahem) warned about” when Trump took office, tweeted Walter Shaub, the former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics under both Barack Obama and Trump.

The Trump Organization has been hit hard amid the coronavirus pandemic as consumers slash their stays in hotels and trips to golf resorts. The company has laid off or furloughed some 1,500 employees in several hotels, The Washington Post reported. As of Friday, 17 of the Trump Organization’s hotels and clubs were closed, according to the Post. The shuttered operations amounted to some $650,000 a day in lost revenue, the newspaper reported.

Loans from Deutsche Bank, the Trump Organization’s biggest creditor, have reportedly been used for Trump’s Chicago Tower, the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort — which is now shuttered — and his Washington, D.C., hotel, which has closed its bar and restaurant, The New York Times reported. The loans are backed by a personal guarantee from Trump himself, according to the Times. Deutsche Bank has loaned the Trump Organization some $2 billion since 1998, and there are currently an estimated $350 million in loans outstanding, the newspaper reported.

Dont mind the zombie, is it a coincidence that it's in New York and less than15 mins drive from Hillary Clinton's house? New York is also allowing people to travel to other states for the sole purpose of spreading the virus.

Cuomo just got busted on this video hiding ventilators in a warehouse and saying "the hospitals don't need them now" to a reporter.

How evil can democrats be? Governor Cuomo didn't use his emergency money to buy ventilators and the ones Trump sent to him are hiding in a warehouse. I said it few days ago that democrats will hide the medical equipments like they did in Puerto Rico.

There's a report out of Italy that every death is ruled as coronavirus, from people falling and hitting their heads on the floor to even assassinations.

Watch 30 seconds of this video from 3.50 - 4.00 mark and see that these democrats have to be the direct descendants of satan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5CbqPoezkQ
This is not the time to blame state governors who are doing their very best to coordinate the issues on ground.

Trump's arrogance, ignorance and obstinance has made this much worse.

That is NOT partisan. That is fact.

Trump in his first public comments about the coronavirus on Jan. 22, in a television interview from Davos with CNBC’s Joe Kernen was asked,

“Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?” The president responded: “No. Not at all.

And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

This was simply not true, and we are now learning that Trump ignored the intelligence briefings that warned that the pandemic could be very devastating.

As a result more than one thousand Americans have died, and now have the most cases in the world.

We all remember Trump saying that there were just 15 cases that would soon go down to zero, and that everything was under control. A totally baseless claim, and he acted accordingly or should I say he didn’t act as required.

On Jan. 28, Trump retweeted a headline from One America News, an outlet with a history of spreading false conspiracy theories: “Johnson & Johnson to create coronavirus vaccine.” This was a lie.

On Feb. 29, Trump said a vaccine would be available “very quickly” and “very rapidly” and praised his administration’s actions as “the most aggressive taken by any country.” None of these claims were true. Dr. Fauci said it would be 12-18 months before it could become available to the American people.

Trump’s inaction meant that the United States fell behind South Korea, Singapore and China in fighting the virus. “We just twiddled our thumbs as the coronavirus waltzed in,” William Hanage, a Harvard epidemiologist, wrote. Hanage could have added that Trump's thumbs were busy on his phone tweeting out nonsense to the American people.

At a Feb. 10 political rally Trump said, “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” Note: April is just a few days away. Do you think Trump's promised miracle will occur? We shall see.

On Feb. 5, Senator Chris Murphy tweeted: “Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough. Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.”

Murphy also criticized the White House’s decision not to take coronavirus test kits offered by the World Health Organization in January, which he said was an especially devastating mistake because that test was ready to go and easily replicable.
