OSWEGO, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — With 36 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the county, Oswego County Legislature Chairman Jim Weatherup asked residents on Wednesday to follow a voluntary shelter-in-place order, similar to Onondaga County. Weatherup asked the residents of Oswego County to do their essential travel on an every-other-day basis. The rules for Oswego County’s voluntary shelter in place are as follows: Residents born during an odd year – Only travel on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays Residents born during an even year – Only travel on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays Sundays – Weatherup asks everyone to stay home The Chairman admitted he did not have any jurisdiction to enforce the recommended travel restrictions, but he said, “In the interest of public health and safety, we can police it and keep track of those who ignore it.” As of Wednesday, Oswego County has reported 36 cases of COVID-19, with 18 of those individuals recovering from the virus. Two people in Oswego County have also died from COVID-19. Chairman Weatherup also sent a warning ahead of Easter Sunday, urging his residents to celebrate Easter only within the confines of their own home.

Initial Data From China In March, doctors from China published two studies that gave the first glimpse at how prevalent cardiac problems were among patients with COVID-19 illness. The larger of the two studies looked at 416 hospitalized patients. The researchers found that 19% showed signs of heart damage. And those who did were significantly more likely to die: 51% of those with heart damage died versus 4.5% who did not have it. Patients who had heart disease before their coronavirus infections were much more likely to show heart damage afterward. But some patients with no previous heart disease also showed signs of cardiac damage. In fact, patients with no preexisting heart conditions who incurred heart damage during their infection were more likely to die than patients with previous heart disease but no COVID-19-induced cardiac damage. It’s unclear why some patients experience more cardiac effects than others. Bonow said that could be due to a genetic predisposition or it could be because they’re exposed to higher viral loads. Those uncertainties underscore the need for closer monitoring of cardiac markers in COVID-19 patients, Jorde said. If doctors in New York, Washington state and other hot spots can start to tease out how the virus is affecting the heart, they may be able to provide a risk score or other guidance to help clinicians manage COVID-19 patients in other parts of the country. “We have to assume, maybe, that the virus affects the heart directly,” Jorde said. “But it’s essential to find out.” -

Toggle navigation COVID-19 Mysterious Heart Damage, Not Just Lung Troubles, Befalling COVID-19 Patients By Markian Hawryluk APRIL 6, 2020 REPUBLISH THIS STORY DISPONIBLE EN ESPAÑOL (KHN Illustration; Getty Images) While the focus of the COVID-19 pandemic has been on respiratory problems and securing enough ventilators, doctors on the front lines are grappling with a new medical mystery. In addition to lung damage, many COVID-19 patients are also developing heart problems — and dying of cardiac arrest. As more data comes in from China and Italy, as well as Washington state and New York, more cardiac experts are coming to believe the COVID-19 virus can infect the heart muscle. An initial study found cardiac damage in as many as 1 in 5 patients, leading to heart failure and death even among those who show no signs of respiratory distress. That could change the way doctors and hospitals need to think about patients, particularly in the early stages of illness. It also could open up a second front in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic, with a need for new precautions in people with preexisting heart problems, new demands for equipment and, ultimately, new treatment plans for damaged hearts among those who survive. -

Up 1 case last 24 hours and unfortunately they had to add a column for deceased which is 2.. Many more people tested.. I'm wondering if people are confusing symptoms from the common cold or allergies (as alluded by BW) for the coronavirus.. Awfully a lot of negatives for only testing the"sickest" Obviously max brought this up earlier.. Unless many of these people had contact with someone that is positive -

As the country battles a rapidly growing number of coronavirus infections, 13 coroners and medical examiners in nine states told CNN that they are struggling to acquire the supplies needed to test bodies arriving at their facilities for the disease. With concerns growing about the coronavirus death toll being incomplete because of lack of testing for the living, coroners and medical examiners said being unable to test the dead compounds the issue. They said they are worried that deaths are being significantly undercounted and that as a result, the statistics used by the federal and state governments to chart the virus's spread and severity are far from reliable. Contacts of the deceased may not get the warnings they need to help keep the disease from spreading; families may be left not knowing what killed their loved ones. -

If you die at home from the coronavirus, there’s a good chance you won’t be included in the official death toll, because of a discrepancy in New York City’s reporting process. The problem means the city’s official death count is likely far lower than the real toll taken by the virus, according to public health officials. It also means that victims without access to testing are not being counted, and even epidemiologists are left without a full understanding of the pandemic. Continue reading -

I'm pretty sure the deceased were the owners of ponderosa steakhouse in Pulaski, last I heard they were on ventilators... They caught this virus at a funeral in a neighboring county.. -

OSWEGO COUNTY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The Oswego County Health Department says that two Oswego County residents have died from coronavirus. They were both in hospitals in a neighboring county, and were both adults. That is as much information as the health department will release. “We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of these patients,” said Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup. “While we have anticipated and prepared for the spread of coronavirus to our county, the deaths are an unfortunate development in our efforts to fight this disease, and something that we never wanted to see.” County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang said, “We are working with our state and local partners to limit the impacts of this disease in our community. Most cases of COVID-19 exhibit mild or moderate symptoms. However, elderly persons and those with underlying health conditions are particularly vulnerable to developing more serious complications.” -

I'm pretty sure even partial unemployment receives these checks.. So you can work 3 days a week, collect 1 day of unemployment (4 effective days) and still qualify for$600 extra a week.. -

The reason the government did this was to add up to the"average" American check.. Avg American worker makes something like$938 a week, average unemployment is something like$380 a week so by adding the$600 you get $980 a week.. Obviously not everyone makes nearly$1k a week... -

My situation is a little different because I was laid off (no fault of my own) before this outbreak started but it's now preventing me from finding work...I had 2 job interviews cancelled because of this and only 1 new job has opened up on indeed over the last 3 weeks.(within 25miles) Now im waiting on a letter to re-certify another 13 weeks as unemployment is up to 39weeks.. I'm worried what's to come after? I have no idea how the job market will respond, unemployment may have no choice but to continue handing out extensions until the unemployment rate drops... -

You can practically quite for any reason and claim it was due to the coronavirus.. Usually on unemployment you need a real good excuse to quit or you don't get it.. -

Giving everybody$600 extra a week was probably a mistake, no one wants to work anymore lol The hourly managers at RAC are pissed because the regular employees are getting paid more to sit home Some of the managers have thought about quitting.. -

To me it's understandable lol If I worked at a grocery store making min wage and had a chance to sit home and collect 3x the amount without the chance of getting sick, hard to pass that up..lol Unemployment didn't do anyone favors by allowing people to quit and still collect (pua).. -

Unemployment only gives you extensions when the unemployment rate is high, which means not much work out there lol Not easy for everyone to find a job especially when you have 20 applicants for every 1 job opening.. -

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The Great New York State Fair is a little more than four months away and its director is optimistic about the fair not being canceled. This optimism is based on the models from the state, according to the director. And now, if the fair does happen, it will officially be 18 days long. State lawmakers approved the necessary money in this year’s budget to extend the fair. Right now, almost all fair employees are working from home to get ready for what will be the longest state fair New York has ever seen. Waffner told NewsChannel 9 that, at the moment, there are no plans to use the Fairgrounds for help with the COVID-19 outbreak. The American Red Cross is holding blood drives at the Expo Center on Thursdays and Fridays. -
