Time to stay calm and continue on....
Yesterday's thread is here:

Heard they only have a couple thousand tests in Phillipines.
South Korea has S-CoV. They could experience another wave when L-CoV comes around.
Great stats thanks. Shows you the huge difference we can make by taking actions today across the US rather than once our communities are already hard hit like Seattle.
Agreed, any parent knows this, and it’s already been confirmed by a variety of studies that kids are only spared the damaging effects, not infection itself. As such I’d expect the little ones to spread it through elementary schools like wildfire, as they always do!

Roland Baker III (Molecular Genetics U.C. Berkeley) agrees with him - he's RT a lot from various people on twitter, said this
"We found that viable virus could be detected in aerosols up to 3 hours post aerosolization, up to 4 hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to 2-3 days on plastic and stainless steel."
Got to watch a lot of stuff. I told hubby not to bring in any packages-leave them in the garage, spray them with bleach solution, or take them to the green house when the sun is shining. So for three days in a row, he just brings it all in and plunks it down on my desk or recliner. sigh...
I am hoping that all deliveries are made by the end of the week.
On a good note, my daughter’s company is requiring everyone to work from home for at least a month or maybe 2 months. She drives to St. Louis daily —spends 3 hrs on the road for a round trip—so that’s a good thing.
1) What is being sprayed.
2) Does the USA have any of these truck-mounted sprayers? And why do Iran and China have them?

Coronavirus Outbreak Highlights Countries’ Close Ties with the Chinese Regime
Outside China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran are the three countries hardest-hit by the novel coronavirus. They have the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths outside China.
China analysts believe these countries’ close political and economic relations with the Chinese regime led them to enact ineffective disease prevention policies—as they became more concerned about offending the Chinese regime or disrupting economic interests in China.

I see I’m not th only insomniac
good news about your dau. I’m sure that’s a relief for you.
I think your hubby and my hubby read the same book. Mine does the same, plop, right on the coffee table. Honey, we have mail - arrrg.
You are exactly right. Actual fatality rate is probably under 1%. See actul stats below.
Re: “In Italy the current death rate is running at 6.6%.” “No it isn’t. To know the death rate have to know how many cases there are and they don’t know that. Recorded cases may be a small minority of actual cases.”
The country that has done the most testing that can be relied upon is S Korea , they have tested well over 250,000 and have 7,869 cases and 66 deaths for a fatality rate of .008 or less than 1%. That is more than the flu but nothing like what some are reporting here and in the news.
As a matter of fact if you add up the top 15 countries with reported cases excluding China, Italy and Iran ) you get over 20,446 cases and 247 deaths for a fatality rate of .012-about 1%. Probably lower and more in line with S Korea as many cases are even more mild. As more test are done you will see more confirmed cases and death rate dropping as it already has started to do.
I get it bad sometimes. But tonite, I’m all data’d out so I’m about to call it a night. Tomorrow I’m gonna practice some of those nurse dance moves! whoo hoo :)
I fear it may be some time before I sleep soundly again.
The catch is that the current South Korea “fatality rate” (simplified...only 333 of 7869 case have been resolved/recovered) is 0.84% which sounds pretty low but is 6 times higher than a bad flu year in the U.S.. The most important # is the “serious/critical” % of total cases (cases requiring intubation and a ventilator)...that is running about 10% in S. Korea.
Excellent! Good move.
