He is a slacker - 5 A’s and one B. He is also taking college courses and will graduate with Sophomore credits for college.

He also has two summer semester classes at Georgia Tech for coding and network programming\web design.

He wants to graduate from college with zero debt, even though I am paying the bulk of his college tuition.

He ‘Christmas tree’d’ his first Economics test and got a 94 as a result.

BTW - His Mom passed away less than two years ago and his grades never suffered.

I suppose those masks help some. But unless they have an airtight seal some are still going to get sick.

I keep a lot of those masks because I use them when I spray chemicals in the yard..and even sometimes when I mow

“But quarantines make sense. And precautions make sense.”

Sure. Until we know more

Per CDC...

Although the transmission dynamics have yet to be determined, CDC currently recommends a cautious approach to patients under investigation for 2019 Novel Coronavirus Such patients should be asked to wear a surgical mask as soon as they are identified and be evaluated in a private room with the door closed, ideally an airborne infection isolation room if available. Healthcare personnel entering the room should use standard precautions, contact precautions, airborne precautions, and use eye protection (e.g., goggles or a face shield). Immediately notify your healthcare facility’s infection control personnel and local health department.

or in other words...symptoms of many different kinds of illnesses.

And unless you have been to China, insurance is not going to want to pay for a test.

Current run rate for reported cases in China is 3+% fatality.

That may be. But there has to be more than "contagious for 5 days without symptoms" and "3% lethality". It's pretty simple: if you are infected, and are contagious, then you will have enough virus to have symptoms. If those symptoms are not noticeable then the virus is not lethal at that point.

If there are two phases: first a low level of infection, some contagion, no or very mild symptoms; followed by high level of infection, much more lethality and obviously contagion, then that is a possible explanation.

I don't know. I'm just telling you that in the simplest case it cannot be lethal and contagious without symptoms.

12 day incubation period leads to catching virus and running to areas where there is no virus.

Repeat this process in the new area with new hosts.

Repeat again.

Thanks for that update.

16 cities.

46 million people.

Pray & prepare...

WOW, digging up roads so cars cant pass? This is just crazy.

There are a bunch of concrete barriers in that video. They could move a few of those if they wanted to block a road. It is qjuite baseless to speculate they are digging up the road to stop traffic.

Here is the latest WHO guidance for infection prevention in healthcare.

It's in draft, but it's better organized right now than CDC guidance, so I've decided to use it until something better comes along.

Virus-hit Wuhan has two laboratories linked to Chinese bio-warfare program

Bill Gertz

The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.
