This will be the forever thread.
How awful....these poor ppl thought they were protecting themselves, only to make themselves more vulnerable for future viruses.
So glad the NIH stopped the mean vaccine, here.
You want the job. [cough, cough]?
Is there any truth to the rumor that this Wuhan-Flu affects mainly Asians while barely touching Blacks and Euros?
I do have several months of level 1 Infectious Agent PPE here so.... let me know if you get a fever...
I’m sad over the deceased but I hope it’s not the Abels. I’ve been following their videos.
When I first met my husband, one of his favorite movies was ‘Highlander’; and that’s the first movie that we watched together. This song became ‘our song’:

(but I disagree with the notion that Love, itself, can die.)
None in the Nevada debate tonight wore masks.
Yep....that’s what I mentioned...so thankful it was stopped, here.
Unreal, the damage this deadly vaccine has caused.

one highlight:
China CDC puts mortality at 2.3% for Wuhan flu
US CDC puts mortality at 0.1% for US Seasonal flu
“Is there any truth to the rumor that this Wuhan-Flu affects mainly Asians while barely touching Blacks and Euros?”
Genetically, Asians have 5 times as many receptors in their lungs that can pick up the virus. The claim is that Asians catch it easier and have a harder time beating it.
How much difference that makes to non-Asians I don’t know.
There was a report based on an incomplete study, but the data is suspect and no further reports/studies have been published as far as I know.
The claim is that while there are some racial differences for this thing (simplistically: risk for Asians>Africans>Caucasians), environmental factors (such as pollution and/or smoking) are more significant.
China warns Peru not to refuse shipments, promises investment. But check out the map in red about 22seconds in. In case anyone was wondering who was rabblerousing the migrants to crash America’s gates:
China Ambassador hopes coronaVIRUS will not affect the trade relationship between PERU

China has a $30B investment in Peru???
Chinese are very involved in the region. They own the Panama Canal, too. And no worthwhile medical infrastructure anywhere around there. :(
Central America is probably in trouble.
We need to hard-close the southern border NOW.
It was two Japanese citizens that died. What happened to patient zero ? They got off the ship somewhere and got sick ?
Apparently one of the dead in Iran was a VIP. They are deploying the military to QOM for curfew and quarantine.

From the blog The Furai.com (and yeah he’s a FReeper, but I don’t know his username) early on in the outbreak. It’s STILL TRUE.
Assume that the virus is already out. IT’S IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD! Take the needed precautions not to catch it.
Avoid Chinese nationals. Obvious, right?
Avoid China.
Avoid anything that comes from China.
Avoid places where Chinese nationals have been.
Avoid self-service kiosks of any kind–(without taking precautions.) Red box, coin operated video games, vending machines–ETC.
Boost your immune system.
Avoid crowds.
Keep your hands clean.
DO NOT touch your face.
Stay out of confined spaces, multiple people, stale air. Airplanes. Movie theaters. Public restrooms. Etc.
Try to stay double arm’s length from EVERYONE.
Avoid public-use systems. Shared food: buffets. birthday cakes. Shared rides: Uber. Taxi’s. Busses. Shared facilities: Toilets.
Avoid elevators.
Avoid touching group $hit. Things many people touch. Cash. Coin. Seats. Shared keyboards. Light switches. Door handles. Stair railings. ATM buttons. Office phones. Shopping carriages and baskets.
If you’re in a group of people being pursued by a bear, you need not outrun the bear, just the slowest people.
Didn’t patient zero get off the ship in Hong Kong? Am I remembering that right?
