And medicine is very important, but in small towns government closes hospitals rigth with people and medical workers - like animals
i think when all world will open their doors, our country wont be able to do that, because noone knows is there COVID or not - for example in our town 1 man 4 times was in hospital for covid-test, every time he was healthy and ok by this tests. but last week he died and test told that he dies of covid, so he was burried in a closed coffin

but someone said that everyone will be infected by 2021. humanity just cant stand that virus is too hard for organism and we dont have many medicine workers and places now for such situation

If you are concerned and wish to purchase a "first" firearm, get some training from a competent friend, cop, military alum, etc., and be safe. A revolver would probably be preferable, and pretty much foolproof. If you must, get a semi auto, but have the salesman show you how to break it down, and make sure you can reassemble it there in the shop. Otherwise, you will have a very expensive paperweight.

NHS on alert over new coronavirus-related syndrome putting children in intensive care

Children are falling ill with a mystery ‘inflammatory syndrome’ thought to be linked to coronavirus, senior doctors have warned.

NHS leaders have issued a nationwide alert after a sudden spike in children admitted to intensive care with rashes, kidney failure, and stomach problems.

The young patients have been struck down by symptoms similar to toxic shock and Kawasaki syndrome, a rare condition that weakens the blood vessels and usually affects children under five.

NHS leaders were quick to reassure parents that only a “handful” of cases had been identified, and said the risk to children from coronavirus remains low. The link between the new combination of symptoms and Covid-19 has not yet been confirmed, they said, and the advice to parents remains unchanged.

In an alert sent to GPs, health chiefs said: “There is growing concern that a [Covid-19]-related inflammatory syndrome is emerging in children in the UK.

“Over the last three weeks, there has been an apparent rise in the number of children of all ages presenting with a multi-system inflammatory state requiring intensive care across London and also in other regions of the UK.”

A similarly-worded warning was issued by the Paediatric Intensive Care Society to clinicians across the UK. It told clinical staff to urgently refer children suffering from three symptoms: abdominal pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and cardiac inflammation.

Since coronavirus first began to spread across the world last December, relatively few children have died from the disease. Only nine people under the age of 19 have died in England in hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, around 0.05 per cent of the total death toll. Their apparent resilience has puzzled doctors because young people are typically ‘super-spreaders’ of other viral illnesses such as influenza.

Children began presenting with the new syndrome around three weeks ago, according to the NHS alert. Often the patients are found to be suffering from stomach pain and gastrointestinal symptoms including vomiting and diarrhoea. Unlike adults, however, most of the children do not initially present with a cough or other respiratory problems, it is understood. The majority are found to have a fever and a persistently high temperature.

One paediatric doctor at a major London hospital told The Telegraph that some of the children have developed “darkened knuckles” for reasons currently unknown. Medics at the hospital are currently treating around a dozen children aged mostly between 10 and 12, the doctor said.

“We’re baffled by this,” he said.

“These children are becoming unwell quite quickly. They start feeling generally unwell, with non-specific symptoms.

“Then many of them develop rashes on the neck, forearms and abdomen. The rashes can be flat, raised, angry-looking or gentle. No patient is exactly the same.

“Some come in with darkened knuckles, which is not normal. It suggests some form of vasculitis - inflammation of the blood vessels. It’s likely to be some form of auto-immune reaction or ischemic response, where the blood supply is restricted.

Meanwhile, doctors in other countries reported similar cases in their hospitals. A general inflammatory syndrome was reported for selected Covid-19 patients recently in University Hospital Zurich, while an Italian study published on Monday reported a “significant increase of Kawasaki disease in Covid positive children”.

In the US, leaders at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington said they had been “surprised” by the number of children needing critical care.
