Not for nuthin’, but if you saw the cleaning stuff they use in the hospital you would realize this is not really an issue.

We used to call them “cancer wipes” because they were so strong we “knew” they would just give you cancer after a few years. (They didn’t)

Copper turns color and “looks” dirty. Patients and visitors go on looks, not reality. It would take an army to keep that stuff looking good.

CDC press release:
From: “Media@cdc.gov (CDC)”
To: MMWR-MEDIA@LISTSERV.CDC.GOV
Subject: CDC Media Statement: Diamond Princess Repatriation
Date: Feb 15, 2020 11:21 AM

Media Statement For Immediate Release Saturday, February 15, 2020 Contact: CDC Media Relations (404) 639-3286

Diamond Princess
Repatriation

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is supporting the Department of State-led mission to repatriate U.S. citizens who want to return to the United States from Japan, currently aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. HHS is committed to protecting the health and safety of all Americans. To fulfill our responsibilities to U.S. citizens, as well as to reduce the burden on the Japanese healthcare system, the U.S. government recommends that U.S. citizens disembark and return to the United States for further monitoring. These measures are consistent with the careful policies we have instituted to limit the potential spread of the disease.

There are approximately 400 U.S. citizens onboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Due to the dynamic nature of the outbreak, the U.S. government recommends that U.S. citizens disembark and return to the United States. Americans returned by flights chartered by the State Department will be subject to a 14-day, federal quarantine and be housed at two existing federal quarantine sites for repatriated travelers:

Travis Air Force Base in California
Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas

Those passengers returning from Japan will be housed separately from individuals already in quarantine from previous Wuhan repatriation flights. All travelers from Japan will be screened before boarding the State Department-chartered aircraft to prevent symptomatic travelers from departing Japan. These planes will be met by a team of U.S. Government personnel deployed there to assess the health of the passengers. The passengers will be screened before leaving the ship and monitored and evaluated by medical and public health personnel every step of the way, including before takeoff, during the flight, and after arrival. U.S. Government staff will conduct risk assessments to ensure the health of each traveler, including temperature checks and observation for respiratory symptoms.

Travelers will be monitored during the flight to Travis Air Force Base where all travelers will be screened again.

Any passengers taken onward to Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland will be monitored during that flight as well and screened upon arrival in Texas.

Do they have an option, as to how to return to US???

Actually, it seems alloys work almost as good as the copper itself. You only need a little copper to do the job. Cosmetically it’s a wash.

A spray of white vinegar turns copper right back to that new, shiny-copper-penny look, in no time ;-)

First results have been reported and are preliminary. We are working with officials in Malaysia, Cambodia and the U.S. CDC, as is standard, and are awaiting secondary testing for confirmation. Full statement: https://bit.ly/2uQ9kQp (1/2)

Interesting list of pharma companies based in Ireland (from 2017). Doesn't mean they don't have facilities in China, or elsewhere.

Ireland is a home for 24 of the world’s top biotech and pharma companies

The article somehow fails to mention if the woman is a South African returning home, or an ethnic Chinese entering...

Can’t find answer to this obvious question:

Viral epidemics and pandemics die out. Why? Why don’t they just sicken everyone that comes into contact? What stops propagation?

Yes I know they are fast-evolving, but those that successfully reproduce by definition propagate. There’s a reason the Spanish Flu died out, why didn’t it kill everyone? Why isn’t it still killing? Wouldn’t survivability make the the most prolific virus the one that survives rather than the one with”devolved” genetic material?
