I haven't noticed any significant disruptions in San Antonio but I haven't been out of my apartment or the surrounding complex in about 3 weeks now.

It looks like they can test for antibodies already but don't have the resources to implement testing on any sort of large scale

Because personally I don't give a poo poo if you post him or not but if the community feels strongly I'll enforce a ban. Or not. Whatever works.

If you can in the future, definitely tip via their system. It's a lot easier on those folks than cash, especially when they may not have gloves available.

If you have a "new in the box" one or one wrapped in plastic, probably. Otherwise you'll just terrify the poor guy.

Don't do this. Tip with cash when you can as you know the full amount is going to the delivery person.

Is that going to be effective when everyone knows at least one person who has died from it and there are mass graves everywhere?

I mean the MAGA types will definitely buy it but would a swing voter be convinced?

probably not. as is being evidenced time and again, people who suffer more will just assume they are some sort of outlier or that the dead somehow brought it on themselves. so when a person knows 12 people that died, between parents, grandparents, great aunts and uncles, friends and coworkers they’ll put a little mental note by each one saying they were particularly vulnerable due to age or pre-existing condition and just assume they were weirdly unlucky to be associated with so many that died.

is the Iceland narrative just that? they have tested 6% of there population, and a large part that tested positive haven’t shown symptoms yet. is that data adjusted for the 2 week incubation period lag or just dumb logic conclusion

I sure hope so, because my idiot government is betting everything on that and a screening of 1,000 healthy blood donors that it admits was done hastily and therefore not up to scientific rigor.

When a Republican is in the White House, everything that happens is really good.

When a Democrat is in the White House, everything that happens is really bad.

That's really all there is to it, there is no further coherent ideology.

The supply chain hasn't been impacted and people hoarded hard leading up to the events. Like my pantry is mostly full and all I need to get after two weeks of not heading out of the apartment is snacks, milk, eggs and beer.

https://www.businessinsider.com/south-korea-coronavirus-reactivate-unlikely-dormancy-2020-4

quote:

South Korea reported this week that 51 patients who had recovered from the coronavirus and tested negative later tested positive again.

Jeong Eun-kyeong, director-general of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a briefing on Monday that the virus may have "reactivated" in those patients after going dormant. He said tests were conducted within a "relatively short time" after the patients were cleared, so it's unlikely they got reinfected.

"While we are putting more weight on reactivation as the possible cause, we are conducting a comprehensive study on this," Jeong said. "There have been many cases when a patient during treatment will test negative one day and positive another."

Most experts think it's unlikely that the virus reactivates after a "dormancy" period. Only a few types of viruses do that — it's sometimes called going latent — as part of their life cycles inside a cell. HIV and herpes are two examples.

It's more likely that the people in South Korea still had fragments of the coronavirus in their bodies after they recovered. Such fragments don't mean the patients are still infectious or sick, but they can still show up in a nucleic acid test, Dr. Keiji Fukuda, director of Hong Kong University's School of Public Health, told the Los Angeles Times last month.

"The test may be positive, but the infection is not there," Fukuda said.
