"The death rate "is still higher than many infectious diseases, including the flu," Horwitz says. And those who recover can suffer complications for months or even longer. "It still has the potential to be very harmful in terms of long-term consequences for many people."

"Results: 30-day mortality peaked for people admitted to critical care in early April (peak 29.1% for HDU, 41.5% for ICU). There was subsequently a sustained decrease in mortality risk until the end of the study period. As a linear trend from the first week of April, adjusted mortality risk decreased by 11.2% (adjusted HR 0.89 [95% CI 0.87 - 0.91]) per week in HDU, and 9.0% (adjusted HR 0.91 [95% CI 0.88 - 0.94]) in ICU."

So the HDU mortality rate now amounts to 25.8% and the ICU mortality rate is 37.5%. Wow, these are figures that give reason for hope.

Italian bars and restaurants now have to close at 18:00, and gyms, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres will be shut until at least 24 November. Confirmed daily cases have risen above 21,000. There were protests in Naples, with businesses demanding compensation, and protests are planned today in Milan and Turin.

Spain now has a curfew in force between 23:00 and 06:00, initially for 15 days, but it could be extended to six months. That’s tough in a country where people traditionally eat out at night. Spain has passed one million cases since the crisis began. Regions may now impose travel restrictions, and gatherings of different households are restricted to a maximum of six people.

The French health authorities say the country may be getting 100,000 new cases daily - twice the official figure. Prof Jean-Francois Delfraissy said the estimated figure included undiagnosed and asymptomatic cases.

The Czech Republic is among the hardest-hit countries in Europe and an emergency field hospital with 500 beds has just been set up on the edge of Prague. Table service has ended in all food outlets, schools have moved online and all non-essential shops have closed.

Nothing personal but you give yourself way too much credit. You know what they say, its embarrassing only if I care what you think, and I don't. My day is good.

No matter how you slice it, dice it or move it around those fear mongering words were his not mine, he said, I didn't.

^ ... how some Americans adapt to the level of their president in only three years.
I can see how you do not care how anyone in the world looks at the US now, and who knows probably it is better so.

I forgot Euros love to point out everyone else's shortcomings.I guess since their perception is its all rainbows and unicorns where they live. I still stand by my statement though your opinion really doesn't matter. Seeing as how I live here I can assure you I see more things good about where I live than what your daily dose of favorite media tells you about.

A further 20,890 coronavirus cases have been recorded across the UK in the past 24 hours, according to the latest government figures, bringing the total since the pandemic began to 894,690.

The government also announced a further 102 people have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test. It brings the total UK death toll to 44,998.

The figures compare to 19,790 cases and 151 deaths reported on Sunday.

After a steady decline since the first peak in April, confirmed cases started rising again in the UK in July, with the rate of growth increasing sharply from the end of August.

Europeans have been gleefully predicting our imminent national doom ever since our inception.

Remember we're mostly populated by the descendants of people that they persecuted and drove out. We're their hated dregs and those huddled masses yearning to breathe free who rejected Europe for a fresh start in the New World.

Unfortunately like jilted lovers our longevity and success as a nation is an ongoing irritation to them and some of them can't stand it which is what you mostly see here in this forum.

No doubt their own media drives that opinion. It very effectively diverts attention away from their own problems. Take for instance when the U.S. President didnt attend certain memorial services in France. The great offense it appeared to cause when I told them France was an 'unsecured craphole', travel warnings issued, credible death threats against Macron within days of his arrival, brewing civil unrest. I swear reading their response to that it was evident they didn't have have a clue. For them they seem to be just just stuck on their local headlines of Trump bad man.

Now they are bent on telling me I have to be concerned what the world thinks of the U.S.? Like others here I worked hard for what I got, I pay my taxes. I just spent several weeks in the Appalacian mountains camped in the back country George Washington , Jefferson Natioanal forests, saw and chased off three black bear to boot. Then went to Florida to visit family. Worrying about what the 'world' thinks just isn't part of my day.

The funny side of the gibberish you write is: You don't even know how wrong you are.

Protests have taken place against Covid restrictions in cities across Italy. There was violence in Milan and Turin as demonstrators clashed with police over the introduction of night curfews and the closure of restaurants, bars, gyms and cinemas.

Belgium will decide this weekend whether to impose an immediate second national lockdown, according to interfederal Covid-19 spokesman Yves Van Laethem. Half the country’s 2,000 intensive care beds are full and he believes by the weekend 1,250 of the beds will probably be occupied.

The Slovak government wants to test the entire population from this weekend. Prime Minister Igor Matovic hopes to identify tens of thousands of infected people, then they and their families would spend the next 10 days in quarantine.

In Russia, masks will have to be worn in many public places from tomorrow – and catering services will have to shut from 11pm

Danes will have to start wearing masks indoors in most public spaces from Thursday - more than 1,000 infections were reported yesterday over a 28-hour period.

The Czech Republic will start a night curfew tomorrow night from 09:00 to 05:00 – it has the highest infection rate in Europe.

Germany’s DIVI intensive care and emergency medicine association is warning of a “dramatic shortage of nurses” as infections surged 11,409 in 24 hours – there’s no shortage of beds, just a lack of 3,500-plus specialists.

France’s government convenes its health defence council today and the big question is whether to impose some form of lockdown as early as this weekend. The head of the science council says daily infections could be “around 100,000”. Paris region hospitals have been told to halt from Friday any unrelated surgery or medical activities if they get in the way of Covid crisis or critical care.

Levels of protective antibodies in people wane "quite rapidly" after coronavirus infection, according to researchers.

Covid-19 has "thrived" among black, Asian and ethnic minority communities due to structural race discrimination, a Labour report says.
