I kid, but seriously keep us updated.

No. My death will be of zero profit to my family. Even in death goons are useless.

Disembarkation is going pretty smoothly. The first sign of trouble was a bunch of ambulances driving down the dock with news media vans hot on their heels. They started sticking microphones in the faces of the first few people ashore.

Is the food good? Do you still get to do fun cruise activities or are you stuck in your cabins masturbating all day?

Yeah pretty good and the specialty restaurants were great.

No, because we just got into port and they're kicking everyone off the floating retirement home so the next batch of old people can get on.

Apparently different outlets are reporting things in different ways. All I can say is that they got express removed straight to the airport. Could be by their own design or a deportation but my money is on the latter.

Just heard on the radio that scientists now think pangolins could be the reservoir/link between humans and bats for the transmission, as the virus found in bats isn't transmissible to humans, but a variant found in pangolins is closer to to the pandemic version.

Pangolins are endangered and massively hunted in China for food and medicine so it would be quite ironic if this leads to this species salvation

quote:

The number of new coronavirus cases slowed in China for a second day, but it's too early to celebrate, World Health Organization officials said at a news conference. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the fewer number of cases is "good news," but cautioned the public not to read too much into the new data. "The numbers could go up again," he told reporters. "As you know, epi curves can zig zag," referring to a diagram that shows the distribution of cases over time.

Man, I browsed that twitter and another linked to it. There's a lot of depressing stuff like that, guys coughing into a safety slot (whatever you call those slots for passing stuff behind safety glass) at what looks like a hospital, people dead on hospital floors, masks being used and stuffed back into boxes, mass live burial of ducks (???), all kinds of terrible stuff. :( Enough of that.

There's been an avian flu outbreak in China since nCoV started getting attention and bird culls are pretty standard when that happens. I have no idea if live burial of ducks is in line with normal responses within China (in the US I think birds are usually enclosed indoors and either poisoned or asphyxiated with some sort of foam before they're burned or buried), but it's probably unrelated to the nCoV other than by geography.

Nothing like walking around looking like an asbestos abatement tech to really sell the idea that no, you in fact don't really have shame after all.

Edit: I wonder if the TSA guys would let you through the airport dressed in a bunny suit and respirator. It doesn't SEEM like there's a rule against it, like the one about parachutes.

Haha yeah but actually I’m a former emt who’s been fitted and certified to wear n95 masks, it’s amazing how easy it is to wear them improperly and I can for drat sure say that I’d rather be wearing an n95+ mask than a surgical one if a bug is actually in the air around me

I am conflicted about the usage of masks. I live in a majority Chinese neighborhood in SF, ever since mid-Jan the number of masks that are being worn has gone up an order of magnitude at least. On my commute, I see people with cotton masks, N95 masks, and all other sorts of masks. I see N95 masks left on the street, almost daily.

I have only seen one person who actually had a proper fitted N95 mask and goggles. Everybody else just does it to... feel better I guess? That is why I'm conflicted. Half of me wants to yell at the people doing this to tell them they're ignorant, the other half of me says who cares, it's making them feel better (even if it isn't protecting them).

If you're in Europe then the same goes for FFP3 or P3 rated respirators. For FFP3 rated respirators then the 3M 8835+ are rated for multiple shifts, so clean the rubber face seal and you're good to reuse them. FFP2/P2 respirators are equivalent to N95, readily available, and cheaper.
