If the person is not well enough, then there’s going to have to be one designated person to care for them. I’m guessing we’d be pitching a second tent for the caregiver.

My big thing is whatever the sick person touches, no one else touches if possible.

These are all good plans; however, given the nasty nature of this virus, if one person in your family is exposed, you’re all exposed before you even know they are sick.

Nope, the dog and cats and other varmints would have the virus-y garbage all over the neighborhood. The patient would have to keep it double or triple bagged in their room for 14 (24!) days.

Yes to burning everything later.

Not just keeping it out of circulation for 14 but burning it. That doesn’t happen during flu season, huh.

Yeah, why not. Tie the bags up tight, not going to make them any sicker. When they recover, set off one of these disinfectant flogger bombs in The room before going in

Never heard of a disenfectant fogger but was just saying there should be something like that for the public.

Ah ha, so they’re admitting the numbers are wrong. It’s more than a mere adjustment, Xi.

“You want to take my temperature? Alright, go ahead.”

Uh, no. Not with that potentially virus-y hand. How many times has that thermometer been in someone’s mouth?

" running out of all the stuff made in china "

I wonder how many companies has already move production outside of China.

Last year article where President Trump ask US firms to move out of China

The major issue I see is a lot of our drugs (ingredients) originated in China.

Also a lot of the firms that relocated moved to nearby countries where the virus can spread too. Maybe those firms will move to countries with better heathcare systems.
