Continuation of the thread.
Funny how concerned they become when it’s THEIR turn to deal with what we deal with as a matter of course that they really don’t care about cause it usually doesn’t affect them.
If you want facts and not just alamarist infodemic posts Go to this site https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
for updated numbers and you will see that no one, repeat no one under the age of 10 worldwide has died.
I know this won’t fly here but that is because the virus is mild compared to SARS etc. The death rate is much lower than reported because most cases are mild, and unreported that is why 3 UCLA students were suspected of having it and they tested negative and just have a cold.
Both HHS and New England Journal of Medicine now say its fatality rates is between 0.1% and 1%.
On Thursday HHS Assistant Secretary Admiral Brett Giroir told reporters, “The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%. That’s lower than you heard probably in many reports … it’s not likely in the range of 2 to 3%.”
This puts coronavirus on par with a typical flu epidemic to something slightly higher — NOT something like a SARS or MERS virus with a much higher mortality rate.

New England Journal of Medicine :
Many corona virus cases are so mild they’re not even being reported, Fauci explained in an editorial he co-wrote in the same issue of the NEJM. Co-authors include Dr. Robert Redfield, who directs the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Dr. Clifford Lane, deputy director of the NIAID.
“If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%,” Dr. Fauci and his colleagues explained.
“This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of COVID-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza pandemic [which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%] or a pandemic influenza [similar to those in 1957 and 1968],” the experts wrote.
Moderna and Regeneron, among others report that they already have a treatment (Regeneron who developed treatment for Ebola) ready for testing this summer-and you can expect it to be expedited-yes more sadly will die but nothing like the panic percentages-perhaps reach the level of 2009/2010 flu and sadly it is primarily seniors who are compromised and they deserve our prayers not panic.
We’ve posted many many many many many many times that kids don’t die from this.
If you’d bothered to read the thread you’d know this.
But they DO get infected.
And spread it around most excellently.
To their grandparents.
Who DO get it as well.
And end up in the ICU...
Kids are GREAT germ spreaders for this virus. You never even know they’re sick most of the time. Now go hug your gramma!
just so you all don’t feel like lone rangers:

Hey, I left both asian women alone. Although I did think tackling the young one might be fun. Lol. And it’s not just Asian women. A white women at a health nut store just had to grab my hand at the register. Golly gee Wally.
ALL of this reason and FACTS seem to go nowhere to some on this site, unfortunately they have fallen prey to the MSM hysteria which they know full well are beyond LIARS and exaggerate every damn thing they report or should I say MAKE UP!!! Such a shame that the intelligent people on this site are reacting in this way!!!

Will you sue the children who pass along COVID-19 to grandma, or is Disney World liable for this transmission too?
RE: GRAND PRINCESS QUARANTINE
“...About 1,000 California residents from the ship will go into mandatory quarantine at Travis Air Force Base and Miramar Naval Air Station, the US Department of Health and Human Services said Sunday.
Passengers will be screened by the US Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC at the port, according to a statement from Travis Air Force Base.
“Only asymptomatic passengers will be transferred” to military bases for more screening and a 14-day quarantine, the statement said.
Residents of other states will complete their mandatory quarantine at Joint Base San Antonio Lackland in Texas or Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Georgia. Throughout the quarantine, passengers will be monitored for symptoms of coronavirus, DHHS said.

In the old days, the armpit ran 1 degree cooler than under the tongue. Should be able to get an IR reading there.
Pennsylvania resident who worked convention in Palm Beach County tests positive for coronavirus... had been working in the Biogen vendor booth in the exhibitor’s area on Feb. 28.
Coronavirus symptoms: The progression from moderate to severe can occur ‘very, very quickly’
About 10-15% of mild-to-moderate patients progress to severe and of those, 15-20% progress to critical. Patients at highest risk include people age 60 and older and those with pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

BREAKING: Ulster County Reports First Coronavirus Case
The man, who county leaders declined to identify, recently returned from France, where about 1,000 cases of the new virus had been identified by Sunday afternoon.
The man notified the Ulster County Health Department when he started to show symptoms and drove himself to a hospital on the department’s advice, according to the Ulster County Executive’s Office.
Samples were taken from the man at the hospital, then tested at the Wadsworth Center in Albany

Forget that. My armpit caused the sensor to Orange Alert and Red Alert. Way hotter.
“Censorship is rampant in the Middle East. I’m sure the numbers are faked as well.”
I find it odd that Turkey has reported no cases but every country around them has. Meanwhile, they are still trying to stuff Syrian refugees into Greece. Might be a tad harder if there were possible CV cases among them.
“Allah will save them. Right?”
I think Darwin has a better hand this time.
Peterborough, a hive of liberal scum and villainy, LOL. About halfway between Nashua and Keene.

What about kitchen tongs? pick up the mail and drop it into a box with ozone generator, and or uv light. Then open —use gloves when opening.
I bet a lot of people get exposed when taking off their gloves and protective gear, unless they are very practiced at doing it.
Rubbing alcohol will do if the hand sanitizer runs out. Still no hand sanitizer in Walmart, and the rice and dry beans were low (not gone, but not plentiful, either). Still plenty of canned stuff. TP, bleach, vinegar, water, various forms of Lysol all still available. I only stopped at Walmart because my wife demanded tribute in the form of chocolate ice cream, but I was curious. It was Sunday evening, so that may have some influence on the stocking situation. Not a lot of customers, but not one was doing “prep” shopping unless you count the guy with two cases of diet Dr. Pepper.
We already have what we expect we would need for a several month quarantine, if one comes our way, or if we decide to pull the trigger and self isolate. Only doing superficial shopping at this point. Probably won’t even do that much longer as cases are starting to pop up closer to home, now. We’ll see how this goes for the next couple of weeks.
