talk about the virus today—with the whole department crammed into a small space

Yeah, what _is_ that?

The Department head was ordered to give the speech, and didn't believe a word of it?

It was the safety director of the whole building.

I left when he went rambling on to another subject.

Incredible.

I use the word “autopilot” to describe that type of management.

A lot of public officials are there as well.

Di Blasio doesn’t really get it, saying you need prolonged contact with someone. Then he tells people not to ride the subway, with no other real alternative for many.

The posters they are putting up are incomplete and therefore misleading. They say to wash hands but don’t mention that you must use water that is at least warm. They say don’t touch your mouth, eyes, or nose, but touching your face at all is problematic, as the little buggers travel, and should have mentioned ears.

Sneezing will spread it if you have it, but it is not a symptom. Tiredness and headache are symptoms, but they never mention those.

I wish they all would read FR before making pronouncements.

New CT data—from 6 positive yesterday to 11 positive today-136 total tested—rather even age distribution.

Here's a great line from another corona thread:

I can’t even imagine the heartbreak that many of those athletes are feeling right now.

Worse than the general public are the so-called corona threads aside from this one.

We have had many posts here about how “symptoms” give you only a 50% chance of identifying a positive CV person.

They had 697 positives on the Diamond Princess cruise ship—only half of them had symptoms!

The public and media reporting on this topic has been awful—partly to avoid panic, I think...

Just to be clear, the folks without symptoms are quite capable of being spreaders.

In fact, they can _never_ show symptoms and infect _lots_ of people, and no-one would ever know...

you're right....people will eventually get the virus, until a vax is developed, and actually we need to get the immunity..

I really wonder if its a certain medication that sets people up for the virus.....steroids are often used for astham/copd..it lowers your immunity....

some of those nursing home patients were probably so debilitated that they couldn't even turn over by themselves...easy to get pneumonia like that....

Litigation time!

Lookner:

A child in Rhode Island has tested positive for coronavirus after getting an autograph from one of the NBA players who have also contracted the virus

I am practicing law without a license here:

"The NBA knew or should have known that their players were likely to be afflicted with CV, and should have banned autographs with the public......This is gross negligence on the part of the NBA....$$$$$$$$"

Oh boy, and right there is why pro sports have been postponed- liability.

Somebody mentioned this a while back—when the WHO declared this a pandemic then the “reasonable” standard became everybody who was not tested negative had the disease.

Then litigation could begin in earnest...

I posted yesterday about a doctor who thinks you have to have a fever to have the virus. People have died from this without ever having had a fever.
