"It has begun."

6And out of the [e]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. 7Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. 8The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

"I've often said that if hospitals used copper alloys for door handles, stair rails, strike plates, switch covers, plumbing fixtures and the like; the infection rate inside would go way down."

Hmmm... That old adage about putting a penny in your shoe for good luck may have had base it fact...

There are a couple of issues with copper. First not all coppers have antimicrobial properties. Pure copper is a soft metal and likely would not hold up well in a hospital setting as opposed to a residential kitchen. It also forms a patina which in addition to dents and scratches over time, may overtime reduce its effectiveness as to its antimicrobial properties. It also requires special cleaning and I do not believe you can use bleach or other similar cleaners used in a hospital setting. Additionally, it is one of the most expensive materials for countertops.

San Diego County declares public health emergency due to COVID-1

Updated: 10:41 PM PST February 14, 2020
Excerpt:
There are still only two confirmed cases of the illness in San Diego County. Five other people are currently being evaluated in the hospital.
-snip-
Officials also revealed that there have been 13 San Diego residents so far who have been identified as sitting next to individuals on airplanes who ultimately tested positive for COVD-19.

Four of thsose 13 are still being monitored, while the rest have been cleared. One who was tested for the novel strain of Coronavirus was ultimately found to be negative.

At the border, federal authorities have been screening those crossing into the United States for possible symptoms.

So far, two so-called “persons under investigation’ who are in federal ICE custody have been identified.

“We still have tests pending on those individuals and those individuals remain in isolation,” said county Deputy Public Health Officer Dr. Eric McDonald, adding that ICE facilities in Otay Mesa have special rooms used to contain those with possible infectious diseases, like Coronavirus.

"A Croatian health official said closing borders across the European Union is an option if the coronavirus outbreak escalates — but global officials say that step is not necessary yet."

"But global officials"--- (snort) :)

Joe wants to fly to Singapore to show his solidarity with the victims - but for safety’s sake he won’t leave until the first snowfall. :)

Leftists dream of submission to “global officials” but I don’t think any actually exist yet. :)

I was just coming to post that.

Looks like even if you recover, it may leave you sub fertile or infertile.

It’s not necessary because they haven’t seeded enough cases into Europe. Yet.

Remember, everyone isn’t coming to the future.
