just want to note that while Idaho has no confirmed cases, there are several people in Boise with symptom profiles that strongly match the disease.

I would imagine confirmation of the first case within 24-48 hours

that’s where my ex lives! (I wish her the best). but she works as a restaurant manager so poo poo will now get much worse for her 😢. at least my current partner lives only 10 mins. from my house.

Welp, everybody here already knew it, but the US is hosed. https://www.linkedin.com/content-guest/article/notes-from-ucsf-expert-panel-march-10-dr-jordan-shlain-m-d-/

quote:

40-70% of the US population will be infected over the next 12-18 months. After that level you can start to get herd immunity. Unlike flu this is entirely novel to humans, so there is no latent immunity in the global population.
[We used their numbers to work out a guesstimate of deaths— indicating about 1.5 million Americans may die. The panelists did not disagree with our estimate. This compares to seasonal flu’s average of 50K Americans per year. Assume 50% of US population, that’s 160M people infected. With 1% mortality rate that's 1.6M Americans die over the next 12-18 months.]
The fatality rate is in the range of 10X flu.
This assumes no drug is found effective and made available.
Appears one can be infectious before being symptomatic. We don’t know how infectious before symptomatic, but know that highest level of virus prevalence coincides with symptoms. We currently think folks are infectious 2 days before through 14 days after onset of symptoms (T-2 to T+14 onset).
How long does the virus last?
On surfaces, best guess is 4-20 hours depending on surface type (maybe a few days) but still no consensus on this
The virus is very susceptible to common anti-bacterial cleaning agents: bleach, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol-based.
There is no accepted treatment for COVID-19. The hospital will give supportive care (eg IV fluids, oxygen) to help you stay alive while your body fights the disease. ie to prevent sepsis.
If someone gets sick who is high risk (eg is both old and has lung/cardio-vascular problems), you can try to get them enrolled for “compassionate use" of Remdesivir, a drug that is in clinical trial at San Francisco General and UCSF, and in China. Need to find a doc there in order to ask to enroll. Remdesivir is an anti-viral from Gilead that showed effectiveness against MERS in primates and is being tried against COVID-19. If the trials succeed it might be available for next winter as production scales up far faster for drugs than for vaccines.
Public Health systems are prepared to deal with short-term outbreaks that last for weeks, like an outbreak of meningitis. They do not have the capacity to sustain for outbreaks that last for months. Other solutions will have to be found.
Don’t know whether COVID-19 is seasonal but if is and subsides over the summer, it is likely to roar back in fall as the 1918 f

I love that they did the whole "show you a clip at the beginning from sometime near the end of the show to build interest" but then the video ended up only being 2 minutes long anyway, so like 5% of it was probably that clip

I can't tell if anyone posted this before because I officially can't follow this thread anymore but...libraries in St. Louis are now on semi-lockdown. All activities cancelled, meeting rooms shut, etc. We've had some pushback from community groups who rented out rooms (I fully expect HQ to refund their fees). Other than that, today was practically a ghost day.

Kind of curious about how long we stay open to the public.

Anecdotally, a bunch of patrons told me today that the panic buying was in full swing and shortages are hitting us hard.

We have small rooms you can just book into for w/e but if you need a big room for an organization there is a very small charge.

lol ours has a big auditorium you can reserve and they do audio/video stuff and it's all free

just got rid of late fees too, of course ours is funded by a flat tax on everybody in the county and it's so popular that to get rid of that would be suicide

We're working that way. Just got rid of fines. I think the only reason meeting rooms have charges at this point is to make it easier for rich businesses to get them make sure only serious people are booking out the rooms but who knows
