BTDT. Can’t convince mine who grew up during the Depression, either. The majority are clueless how many germy hands have touched their food.
I’m already not buying fresh produce that can’t be washed well, peeled and cooked. The food I stocked up on was cheaper than it will be a month from now.
You know, the more I think about that, I am not sure those are hot enough to burn people. And they must have tons of biological waste.
I don’t know enough about portable furnaces to make a definitive statement.
Once anything gets a foothold in the schools, it spreads like wildfire. Not good.
Even though the CDC says it does not believe in asymptomatic transmission, Japan considers it important enough to divide the cases up:
Outbreaks of patients associated with the new coronavirus (92-113 cases)
Today (February 22), Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Wakayama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Hokkaido, Ishikawa Prefecture, Tokyo, Nagoya City, Tochigi Prefecture and Sagamihara City reported on the latest infectious diseases related to the new coronavirus.
We have reported the following positive cases (22 patients, 2 asymptomatic pathogen carriers, and 3 confirmed positive cases ( investigation into the presence or absence of symptoms )) as follows.
With this announcement, there are 132 domestically infected people (113 patients, 16 asymptomatic pathogen carriers, 3 confirmed positive).
We will carry out proactive epidemiological investigations on this matter, including the identification of close contacts.

Then close down all entry points. Get enough working test kits that can be handled locally. Start moving healthcare businesses here.
Interesting- I expect they brought it with them but who knows at this point...
Israel will be on top of this, but it will be nearly impossible to backtrack where these folks were for that week.
What a nightmare. And our officials don’t seem to get it- they’re consistently about 10 days behind.
Lots of people in the US don’t wash their hands after pooping.
looked it up furnace temp needed 1400-1800F
many industrial ones go well over 2100F in many styles
electroheat chamber does up tp 1800C - just one company
...are the test kits made by different companies?
Yes. The “test” is likely equivalent to a cake recipe. Each site would have its own sources for the flour, eggs, etc, and its own ovens and timers and pans, and their own bakers of varying competency.
On top of that, in order to know that the cake is “good”, you have to be able to make a cake that is always “good” (aka, a positive control) and a cake that should never be good without the one crucial ingredient (aka, a negative control). If either of these controls produce unexpected results, the test is invalid.
On top of that, you have to know exactly how to get that crucial ingredient, in this case a patient sample that you know would contain virus. Perhaps sampling is variable across sites as well, with some samples having little virus in them, even though the patient is infected.
Normally a test like this would take 6 months to a year to develop and the put through the process for clearance by FDA. And that’s if everything I’ve listed above goes well.
For a single lab to set up an assay with a “recipe” like this would take an intensive (as in, round the clock) work for 2 weeks to 2 months.
Not trivial. Lucky to have any testing this fast.
They have translators at Lackland. Why the heck would American citizens need translators? I’ve suspected they’ve been slipping in “others” from day one.
Fire anyone who insisted 14 days was long enough.
I haven’t read the list yet but I was thinking this morning a lot of the research should hinge on the whos and whys of people who seemingly get a mild case, no symptoms and others who go critical.
IOW, they’ve infected their entire hospitals.
That’ll do the trick.
Most crematoriums are 1400 to 1800 F.
Looks like it is detected in urine too.
You can’t run, you can’t hide, you get a Helicopter Ride!

The delay by the Japanese government, along with slapdash and ineffective containment measures during the two-week isolation period, would help turn the Diamond Princess into a floating epidemiological disaster.”

There was another one built around a pressurized 55 gallon drum. Turns a drum full of waster to 3 pounds of ash. It costs $4k. Every prepper needs one of those.
