Probably true in a viral-saturated environment like an ER in WaHoo or whatever you call it lol. But in an ordinary environment, mask effectiveness would be much longer.

Similar issue with mask or goggle fit -- much more critical in saturated environment than casual surroundings.

So many things 3D printed now, or at least prototyped using that technology.

Yes - but 80-90% comes from China. 3D printing drastically reduces lead time.

It seems so much of our JIT supply chain is what can force shortages in a black swan moment.

“I figure 18 hours for staples in grocery stores once the panic hits.”

I looked at white rice in Costco yesterday. Was surprised none of it from China, although much of China is too far north/unsuitable for growing, I think. The rice products originated in California, Vietnam, and other SE Asia countries. But if those trading partners get knocked out as well we’re down to the domestic (CA and maybe SE?).

ok, I found some CDC numbers:

Feb 14 - The CDC says 42 of the 50 states now have at least one person under investigation for the coronavirus, none of them in the south.
https://fox4kc.com/news/inside-the-cdc-monitoring-the-coronavirus-in-real-time/

Jan 27 - CDC is monitoring 110 possible coronavirus cases across 26 states in US

I was talking with a gal that works for the government. They are doing some training and education stuff just in case - typical stuff. Making sure people can work from home if need be, etc.

The main guy running it also is dealing with folks in China. He told them to multiply the numbers coming out of China by 7.

if you add the 600 or so federal quarantines to the above post for a total of those under observation, it should be close to 1000 being observed

To: null and void
On 2/12, I predicted
2/13 21:30, 1425 dead, actual 1383, 2.8% low.
2/14 21:30, 1500 dead, actual 1526, 1.7% high.
2/15 21:30, 1990 dead, actual 1669, 16.2% low.

If I’m close (±15%) I’ll tell you how. So far, so good.

CAVEAT: According to China, no one died today.

Make of that what you will, but consider:

Looking at the three data point from before they were caught cheating last time, they exactly overlap to the current three data points!

Are they reusing the same the rate is flattening algorithm to cheat again?

What about those that already slipped through the screening and are on planes, back here?
