    20 days is the usual recovery time, ppl getting hospitalized after 12-14 days. Seems typical for the type COVIT Patients that gets admitted. He's 55 and a non smoker, he should be fine unless he's got really bad luck

    This is something I don't get. If you are not quitting drinking and/or smoking during this time, noone can help you. I'm geniunley baffeled by the decision to give Phillip Morris a Buy Rating during the Pandemic

    Derek Hill, professor of medical imaging at University College London, said: “It seems clear that the prime minister went to hospital because he had difficulty breathing. It seems he was initially put on oxygen, and was conscious.

    “But as often happens with Covid-19, his condition has now deteriorated so he has been admitted to intensive care.

    “We understand the PM is on a type of breathing support called Continuous positive airway pressure (Cpap), which is commonly used in treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea. Experience in Italy and other European countries has shown that Cpap can be effective in Covid-19 patients, at least initially. Many Covid-19 patients progress to invasive ventilation. Invasive ventilation involves a tube being put down the patient’s airway.”

    That's easy. When people are stressed, they look to drink and drugs to relieve the stress. Been that way for eons. Analysts are simply pointing the way to monies. Nobody ever said the markets had a heart, or were moral. ;-)

    People are spending literally weeks locked in ( in Spain at least but also in other places). Lots of online videos about home training but that gets boring pretty fast ( and just difficult, I can hold the paos for the kids to kick and punch but the reverse is more problematic, also lifting is a hassle without a proper set up). Only a few services deemed essentials are open, supermarkets here actually had to close whole aisles of products deemed non essentials, like candies and clothing. Yet booze and tobacco are deemed essential and there seems plenty of it available. Government say stay home, including the kids, or you may die, many do stay home frightened, but the message about nocivity of alcohol and tobacco aren t so clear, and I m reading more testimonies of people getting fat at home than healthy. Not surprised philip Morris gets upgraded during this crisis.
    We don t dring nor smoke at home and actually keep on training , although less than when the gyms were open, and definetely move less overall, especially the kids.
    Not my scene so no first hand experience but on teh other hand illicit drugs use might have gone down, as it is not easy to go around and distribute them

    1,3% of ppl in their 50s died and this number includes ppl who didn't get a ventilator/smokers/w asthma and were NOT the prime minister->who will be getting the best medical treatment available
