Cool guide, glad to see some people are still level headed about this.

One thing: you recommend washing your hands for 30 seconds. While this is what I know should be done, it is very hard to keep doing as it's quite long. What's the effect of washing your hands for a shorter time?

I'm not sure. I'll have to look into this. I'm guessing it's effective but not as effective. The advice I was given was to sing happy birthday to yourself twice while washing your hands as that's about 30 seconds.

Rosalind posted:

I did think about this, but the relationship is less clear than that. Handwashing does seem to be optimal; however, people are pretty bad at washing their hands regularly and for the appropriate amount of time. Hand sanitizer may be a more acceptable and less disruptive alternative that still prevents the spread of disease. I think advocating for practicing regular hand hygiene is more important than recommending a specific type of hand hygiene right now.

This makes sense. Is there any consensus on the transmissibility of this virus from surfaces? I'm thinking about situations where someone puts down their (contaminated) phone, washes their hands, then promptly picks up their phone and recontaminates their hands all over again.

There's been a lot of scary talk of coronavirus this week (some of it in this thread). I'm an epidemiologist so I wrote up a brief no-fearmongering guide to coronavirus for everyone. I will try to keep it updated as new information/news comes out. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I should add!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Qr3rDNIInT9QRmN2GKyo_EY2r3psBshsdL7J8po_i4/edit?usp=sharing

When the CDC said to expect "severe disruption" to daily life, did they mean just in regards to nonpharmaceutical interventions, being put into place? and since they weren't specific, what kind of stuff should we expect? Will they stop people from riding the bus without a mask, or ask that people do not leave their homes several times a day? Will there be door to door temperature checking like what they are doing in Bejing for residents?

It's just super vague, "severe disruption" could mean anything, and hopefully just an idea of what to expect might calm people down from buying all the canned beans in 7/11.

quote:

There is no evidence of it spreading within the United States currently--all US cases originated outside the US.

Again referring to the press release from the CDC last night, they said that community spread, or the virus spreading inside the US as being a matter of when. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, it's literally what they said. Given that analysis, what would be your advice for when the virus hits [your local town/city]. Is an uber more preferable than a bus, is walking better, is it better to shop in person or order online and risk having someone grocery store worker cough on your food. There is a lot that isn't clear, and the current advice seems to be all geared towards people who have recently traveled.

Lots of people in the thread here seem kinda scared and there is just not enough information about what to do when it comes to your personal area.

Sing the happy birthday song twice in your head and don't stop washing until it's over

those lawyers must have come through a time machine from when the virus didn't exist, so coughing on them is unlikely to be effective

or maybe it's super effective, try it and find out

Two confirmed cases in Vancouver now. Second case was in contact with the first case. It begins...

Plus I saw them wheeling someone around on a gurney, in full contact precautions mode. Even getting everyone out of the hallway as they passed, which is not usual practice. Maybe they just had a bad case of liquid-butt, or MRSA, but who knows....

Confirmed now that the two cases in Vancouver are at my hospital, and the person I saw yesterday being wheeled around was one of the cases.

Welp... nice knowing you guys. It's been a trip.

Books On Tape: Dec 26, 2003; Future of the franchise

Our plan is kinda one of stages.

1) Now: start slowly phasing in light social distancing and improved hygienic habits. View large crowd gatherings as risk/reward scenarios.

2) Spreading begins stateside: Telecommute. Shelter in place mostly. Social distancing and Light PPE when in public. Establish decon station in garage w/ crude "scrub station" to keep inside home "clear". Stage 2 bins with important personal items, have 2 large bins ready for clothes (Odds: Likely)

3) Spreading begins locally: Firm shelter in place. Stage clothes, supplies & be prepared to roll to a buddy's house on short notice. IF either of us needs to leave, full PPE and scrub in when returning home. (Odds: 50 / 50 of happening)

4) Quarantine / Instability: If we see threat of forced quarantine / local travel restriction / Localized looting, we will load clothes/supplies/weapons/personal bins into our two vehicles, secure the house, and relocate to a buddy's house about 4 miles away per an agreed upon plan. (Odds: Highly unlikely)

Secondary / Emergency Location: He, his wife, and 2yo son live in a 9000 square foot brick home in a very nice neighborhood. It sits atop a hill at the end of a cove with great sight lines in all directions.

He's in the military, is a weapons expert. He's got 2+ years of food, more ammo than we could ever need, reloading bench, a nice garden, honey bees, significant medical supplies, an extensive whiskey collection, roughly 500gal water storage (bottled, 2x 55gal drums, 4x water BOBs), plus rainwater collection system tied into his gutters and a large water purification system. HE is a "prepper", albeit a very normal dude. His wife is a military/civilian pilot as well. You'd never guess any of this meeting them or walking around their house, which is by design.

We will have 4-5 couples (all close friends) there to share watch/duties with plenty of bedrooms/space for everyone. Each would be coming in with ~2+ months of supplies. We could comfortably shelter in place for extended period there, and properly defend it if anyone who didn't prepare decided to get nosy.

You are more likely to die in a scooter accident statistically, like way way more, I can personally attest. Still suck, the timing is pretty lovely. That part of the world is pretty amazing though and I'm genuinely curious how it's going down in Thailand.

The best part of that post is the 9k square foot house.

I have my doubts two milfolk could afford a goddamn mansion regardless of their rank or career path. 9k square feet is like former Mike Tyson mansion territory.

If there's any legitimacy to his statement it's more like 9k square feet when you include a sheetmetal polebarn.
