Coronavirus/COVID-19 has arrived at the FR HQ area:
Yes, NYC. There are 3 of them right near me. They are traditionally overstock places, so they don’t always have everything you need. OK, though.
Don’t worry about me. It’s kind of you, but I’ve been told it’s not necessary.
My daughter has several allergies. Her dr told her to have Benadryl and one of those stomach meds on hand to take together, if needed. I think there’s something to this, but would love for a dr to chime in.
Worker at Port Everglades has tested positive.
The Italians are here.
Thank you skeet for your contribution!
I know everyone wants to understand the epidemiology/spread transmission part of this new disease, but whatever happens ought to connect to the virology/etiology of the virus. The unique behavior within an infected host is explained by the interaction of furin and ace2 with the spike protein on the germ. Outside the body we need to know whether it is transmitted in some unique way or whether we can assume it behaves like the other corona viruses.
I am reading a lot on flutracker and other places. Thanks everyone for the knowledge and help.
I don’t see anyone in a state of panic. You see anything?
The death rate from preparing for the worst is so far almost nearly approaching a figure which can be reliably understood to be synonymous with the value ZERO!
I doubt that this one is the big one, but it is only a matter of time until we do get the big one, so why not lets practice now?
Thoughts?
Lochner found a geek who is doing real-time updates on US numbers by state—bookmark this!:
Was FR down for anyone else? Haven’t been able to get on all day until now. Got No response from server
International numbers updated in real time—bookmark this:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Down all day. For all.
Netherlands reports 77 new cases of coronavirus and 2 new deaths,
Spain reports 96 new cases of coronavirus and 7 new deaths,
France reports 177 new cases of coronavirus and 3 new deaths,
Italy reports 1,492 new cases of coronavirus and 133 new deaths, raising total to 7,375 cases and 366 dead
I listened to Lochner’s updates and I have a bunch of comments now that FR is back on line (Thank you, Jim Robinson!).
I will post them one topic at a time—there is a lot of new info to discuss today.
time to do this

Israel is considering to require travelers from all countries to go into home quarantine for 14 days, a move that would effectively cut off tourism. A meeting will take place on Monday - Reuters
Thanks for that link.
I’d say that Israel is taking this very seriously.
Italy:
The deaths normally do not tell the story (imho) but, with large numbers like Italy it shows how far testing is behind the rate of actual disease spread.
In Italy the death rate is tripling every few days while the reported case rate is doubling every few days.
That means every day testing gets further and further behind the actual infected rate.
Tests get irrelevant once the disease spreads out of control.
_That_ is why Italy is panicking and having big time area quarantines.
