Beware of the plates, trays, silverware and anything another passenger may have touched. Ditto your cabin attendants.

Goes for any trip, norovirus is probably your biggest worry with any cruise, even today.

" I really pray that the folks in charge in the US are communicating this, and hospitals as well as private practices are prepared when a coronavirus case shows up at their door."

This has been concerning me. Our son works in an ER as an EMT. When I've asked him, there have been no precautions apart from asking about travel to China. It may have changed, but as of last week he still thought this was an overblown product of media. He's very exposed and works 12 hour shifts which leave him worn out.

And whether it’s a cruise or just eating out locally - the table top and menu are none too clean. During flu season, I carry sanitizing wipes with me in my bag. After the waitstaff pick up the menus, I use the wipe to clean my hands and then wipe down the table top in front of me. Just a small precaution.

It’s hard, especially when groups like the CDC are so non chalant about the whole thing. All I know is I hope the naysayers are right and it won’t be severe here. Prayers for him and all our first responders!

According to the department, 712 people are under supervision for the illness. These people are at risk of having been exposed to the virus and their health is being monitored by public health officials.

Apparently they are being supervised and monitored by email. No testing and no restrictions

“Wonder how long before food riots begin, in China...The shape of things to come.”

Surprised they’ve made it this far without riots, considering that Asians do not generally have the amount of ‘reserve capacity’ that us Westerners have.

As to the US, we’re still waiting to find out if we’re (somehow) less effected.

I don’t know how they can riot, they are chained, welded, barred and boarded in their homes and apartments. Those who venture out are arrested and put in “quarantine” I have seen videos of people trying to escape climbing down balconies. The British guy there who has been doing periscope video is revealing a lot of how things are there and he’s on the outskirts of town.

When this hits the Sub-continent, Middle East, Africa and Latin America it’s liable to be game over.

Interesting paper, however some of the results contradict established protein expression databases.

Bulk and single-cell transcriptomics identify tobacco-use disparity in lung gene expression of ACE2, the receptor of 2019-nCov

Furthermore, we didn’t observe a disparity between age groups (>60 vs <60) or gender groups (male vs female) in ACE2 gene expression

I would be very surprised if there was no differences between male and female protein expression.

ACE2 tissue expression

There are others, nevertheless an interesting paper with some take aways.

Other great ideas.

Lots of things we come in contact with in everyday life are really really germy.
