Continuation of the thread.
I read those same stories...I think some states (like WA) killed it, but a lot of other states did not...don’t know the full story on why...
Tourism and entertainment own Florida
Copper-check out the ‘Copper-Zap’ product. Fondling of full metal jacketed ammunition might serve just as well. Who knew the shiny brass would be important for health?
Now for a run on the plumbing supplies...
S&P and Nasdaq have stopped trading- reached their pre-open limits.
If you say so.
they will be busy preserving the force.
YOYO
Or atleast until half the mill staff get exposed and production rates drop to 50%. Then we can pay 2-3 times more, if you can find it.
Washing cloths might become a new thing.
Basically there's a rather wide range of time from exposure to contraction to symptoms showing which depends on a whole bunch of variable factors. AFAIK, the range tends to run from three days to thirty days. And it has repeatedly been shown that asymptomatic individuals can infect others for as long as 28 days. The upper limit is not known yet.
The generally accepted period from exposure to showing symptoms is one to four weeks. There are lots of individual exceptions.
The virus is shed by droplet production via coughing and sneezing (range of 3-6 feet), by aerosols at ranges of an entire building spread by the ventilation system, and by touch with hands or skin loaded with tiny droplets. Plus the virus can be shed to inanimate objects (walls, floors, windows, ventilation ducts, doorknobs, supermarket cart handles, toilets, faucets, sinks, etc.) where others can contract it by touching those surfaces. Or, for ventilation ducts, by air blowing through them to create tiny droplets or aerosols. Look up the term "Fomite" on Wikipedia.
If you have symptoms, you are contagious. You can also be contagious without symptoms but no one yet has a clue when the contagious period starts for those people.
Pity the poor schmucks who have to clean public restrooms. They are almost certain to catch CoVid-19. If they're under 40, it will probably be a mild case. Public restrooms are basically death chambers for those over 60 because the viral loads in them, almost entirely due to fomites, will be enormous.
Sorry to everyone else on this thread for bogging it down, something I can’t stand. I should know when to move on.

LOL!
Well, I wouldn’t bet on a run!
But it’s intriquing that silver, copper, and gold were the coins of old In light of virus transnmission.
PUERTO RICO - another cruise ship
8m
NEW: The Italian woman who got off a cruise ship in Puerto Rico with symptoms that officials suspect is coronavirus was onboard a Costa Luminosa cruise which made its very 1st stop in PR, ever. 2,500 ppl were on ship; about 40% walked around Old San Juan, says Tourism Director.

To reiterate: The Puerto Rico Governors says a woman got off a cruise ship on the island even though she felt sick. There’s a suspicion that she has coronavirus. The island will now rely on the CDC to confirm whether thru testing whether or not the Italian woman has the virus

geez, Rummy, and you’ve been so careful. I’d be spitting nails, too. Damn elevator spitters.
West Texas crude under $30
Great point about restrooms—they are the worst place to be for sure—and of course now is not the time to be going to public restrooms in high volume buildings/areas.
That is probably one way that these big conferences (like Biogen) spread the virus.
*** Think of the optics of Congress telling the public _they_ need to go to work while Congress goes hiding in their bunkers. ***
And I assume Congress Critters, unlike Joe Schmoe don’t lose wages. Plus, they have better insurance.
omg—PR—like those folks haven’t had enough to deal with in the past few years...
Ditto, S. IL & W. KY.
Good news, on the drive thru testing.
This has worked well in S Ko.
