I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of the Wuhan hospital staff become symptomatic within the next week.

It boggles the mind to believe someone could marinate in that environment for so long and NOT get infected, even with masks, gloves and shields.

Meh, i'm in a family of 6 and one of us can get launching fluids from both ends and no one else gets it. disinfect, wash everything after, and just common sense can go a long way

A neighbor just had six 48-packs of water bottles dropped off at their doorstep by Amazon, sitting there tempting thieves and probably covered in CORVID-19 by warehouse workers not permitted to take any sick days :thumbsup:

Besides we all know toilet paper is the item to stockpile, not water. Whoever commands the greatest amount of TP for their bunghole by the time this is over shall have a grand coronation and be named Cornholio I, the first god emperor of humanity.

i took off work, my grocery cart was stocked with waters, cleaning stuff, and at the top a 12 pack of blue moon and some little deli sausages

Regarding lasting changes in society, now would be the ideal time to take all the money allocated to bail out companies and instead pay a universal income of 1000€ (or equivalent as appropriate per country) to everyone.

I know not will never happen but propping up all those unstable companies nobody really needs with so much money is ridiculous.

the bodies aren't even cold yet, how about you take your lovely unproven socialist pipe dreams and go somewhere else where they might be appreciated

If your state government made a mandate about banning gatherings of certain group sizes you should seriously consider alerting your local police and/or health department. While the folks flouting the social distancing measures going there deserve to get it, the other people they may come into contact with do not.

ya, i have a bad feeling people are going to try flaunting this and not be aware of our already aggressive police force. I'm assuming they train for eventualities like this but really, it would be a part i would snooze through.

You know how in school you read about some horrible event and you ask why the people didn't see it coming with all the warning signs? You know how the answer is oh they did but they didn't think it would be this bad? That is this right now.

We might be on the road to handling it so it's not a complete poo poo show though

Turns out when you have a media selling clicks for years about killer viruses that end up being very minor people tune out.

They only ended up being mild because we had a very rapid response to them. CDC usually lead the charge on that, and were even the ones to send test kits to other nations.

SARS wasn't nothing to the people who contracted it. MERS, same. Both had long-lasting lung damage associated with infection. Swine flu was the same deal, and concerns about avian flu becoming easier to spread among humans remains quite real.

That's the problem with having legitimately competent people at the helm. The poo poo that sounds bad turns out to be not quite so bad because everyone did everything right (except for China trying to pretend that SARS didnt exist).

EDIT: also yeah it goes without saying that Ebola is a loving monster in and of itself like lol that bad boy started out with a 90% fatality rate.

This is also definitely some of it yes I agree, but all of those especially in terms of transmission rates were nothing like this.

A few of the pharmacists we called recommended using a meat thermometer or instant read kitchen thermometer if we couldn't come up with an oral one. A meat thermometer won't be the most precise thing in the world, but it should tell you if you're running a fever just fine.

all of my grilling thermometers don't have actual numbers, just a green area that says done, but i wonder if i can get a temp high enough to fall into that category

Also just a heads up meat thermometers tend to be less accurate at lower temperatures

if you could pop the glass off, then take the temperature of a non-fever person and mark it with a pen then you would know anything past that would be not normal.

you don't have to believe any given statement from Beijing to use it to interpret what might actually be happening. if the infections were still growing strongly in china it would not be able to hide that information. total deaths, total number of infected - all obviously lower than reality. but as far as the general trend goes - i see no reason to disbelieve it

also we don't name viruses after places anymore, as i'm sure you've been told numerous times

they are lying about it just like they have been lying about since the start in Jan, I've seen nothing from their countries leadership showing remorse or apologizing for exacerbating this virus.
