Thought it may be a good idea to have a place to follow all the fast moving events in one place
updates coming in fast
And you apparent;y have no clue as to how to discuss a topic without being a smarmy asshole.
If they go to Area 51...
(Just trying to lighten things up for a moment, as I get out of here for now!)
Your the one who started. “Vapors”.
Bringing this over here....

..I listened to Dr Ken Berry’s excellent video about the precautions and preparations, for this corona virus.
I’ve (to the best of my ability) transcribed what Dr Berry said and recommended, as follows.....
Cough and sneezes, with virus particles, can reach up to 5 - 7 feet
Can live on surfaces for up to FIVE days.
Hard to control the spread.
Masks protect a little....more precautions are listed, at end...
Can effect ANY of your mucous membranes.....that is....eyes, nose, mouth, genital and anal areas.
Most dangerous place you can be, in an outbreak lie this - whether it becomes a pandemic, or not - is in a closed atmosphere.....like a bus, plane, train, large meeting, church, clinics, hospital....any where with large amount of people in close proximity.
There is no test or vaccine, or medication to treat for this, currently. Only supportive care.
You can be infectious/contagious up to 5 days, w/NO symptoms or fever.
Currently airports are screening w/thermography, but you can be contagious w/no fever.
Dangerous in the very young and old....especially those w/compromised immune systems.
SARS and ME virus were both corona viruses, but we don’t know virulence of this virus, yet.
Doesn’t want us to worry/panic but does want us to be concerned and prepared.
Gives a scenario of how you could become infected, and subsequently infect your family....you go to store....get sneezed on....feel great, come home...you’ve just infected your family.
Someone infected touches a door handle....you come along 2 - 3 days later and touch same handle.....you’re now infected.
Prepare yourself and your family....
Should this become more serious/pandemic...
1.) Stay home. Stay away from crowded areas and only have contact w/your immediate family. Specialists on MSM aren’t telling us this.
2.) At home, discourage or deny visitors. Use delivery services. (I say also take precaustions w/deliveries....spray down, use gloves, etc.). Use gloves and goggles any time outside. Keep door closed as much as possible to keep particles out.
3.) If you HAVE to go to work....wear (N95 or K2) mask.
4.) Wear wrap around safety glasses to protect eyes (conjunctive tissue).
5.) Wear gloves....disposable nitrol, in public.
6.) Wahs hands often....always w/water and soap...20 seconds. DON’T trust hand sanitizer. They can kill bacteria but NOT viruses.
7.) Avoid as much humanly contact, as possible. No crowds.
8.) Avoid clinics and hospitals for routine matters. Only go if life threatening and cannot treat at home.
Don’t panic....just prepare.

“you’re”
The ball is in Janet’s court.
New numbers come out of China every morning which is evening over here...about the time I started this one..so perhaps every evening US time a new thread can be started...
I am not sure if I can start each one, including tonight, because i may be busy...
what about peroxide?
thats what they use to clean doctors offices and stuff
I once read in P.J. O'Rourke's All The Troubles In The World that they still relied on old-fashioned methods due to lack of money when treating cholera in Haiti: four drops of bleach in a gallon of water (let it sit awhile).
I prefer a stronger solution (1 capful of Clorox per 0.5 liter) but the same principle applies.
Not saying it *must* be false or misleading.
But
1) imagine the panic if authorities were to admit it took out otherwise healthy non-senior adults.
2) Maybe the elderly just die more quickly but it still has elevated mortality in regular adults compared to common flu.
Just hazarding guesses and worry.
Yes obviously I overstated. Obviously many workers are handling bleach all the time, but hopefully using gloves and also washing off with normal soap.
But then, I’m allowed right,since this thread is all about overstating!
No, you’re the one who started with “Oh for God’s sake”
well back to the drawing board..
No link with seafood market in first case of China coronavirus, Chinese scientists revealed
Researchers into initial cases find first person with symptoms had no contact with market where disease is believed to have originated

“Check out your “hand sanitizers”. They kill bacteria. Period.”
That was a rather ignorant statement. You should stop spreading old wives tales that you read on the Internet.
Just because you say “period” doesn’t make a fact or shut down debate.
Hand sanitizers DO kill viruses. Any medically trained person know this and it is stated by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
Prayers for you and your Mom... stay with us when you can but she comes first.
Maybe they’ve gotten better in availability? Because all the standard OTC drug-store items I’ve seen have SPECIFIED they are for bacteria. I’m not talking about what is available to hospitals, just regular customers.
That’s what I keep thinking/wondering about...the mass panic, over there, if actual facts were released to the public.
Prayers.
The Austin, TX CBS 10 o’clock news said the 3 Texas patients awaiting test results are self isolating. That’s at home rather than in the hospital. A spokesperson stated that isolation means they shouldn’t “spend too much time in crowds.”
TOO MUCH TIME IN CROWDS?!?!?!?!?
So a quick jaunt to the store is OK I guess.
Astounding.
Some on our side do the same thing (such as when there’s a shooting). Sometimes newsworthy events just happen.
