Vietnam - this is a real mess.

Apparently a plane full of folks landed in Vietnam, and Vietnam is trying to quarantine them, S. Korea is trying to bring them back home. The S. Korean travelers are not cooperating with quarantines.

Iran - 15 deaths according to the regime, although unofficial reports are 50 - most people there believe the latter because it’s from someone in the health ministry.

Wait until it gets here. Can you see it now? “I don’t have to be in quarantine, I feel fine.”

This crap needs to be kept out of here.

Why do I suspect Party Officials with a sniffle come before bricklayers with a deep cough?

Because you would be right? Actually, from what I heard (privately, but also confirmed in certain videos coming out of the area) was that there was a tremendous amount of pressure put on the decision of who to test. They could only test a few people a day, and so the doctors were told to follow certain rules. These rules were complicated by the fact that they were way past capacity, and could only treat *relatively* milder cases (and were to told to only treat those they could test, and only test those they could treat).

Regardless of the truth of that, you are right to treat any of the numbers coming out of China as having little real value.

Good find - love the stylish public decontamination sprayers and the touching office fogging by guys in hazmat suits, ingenious bureaucrat bucket systems and lets not omit the money laundering efforts.

And those grocery store food lines! could never happen here with our marvelous JIT systems.

Those ignorant farmers will never learn they cannot transport there items into towns and cities!

And the huge free food dumps by farmers outside of the locked down blocked off cities! See millennials! Bernie’s right, food is free!

Coronavirus Quarantine in South Korea

in china, they skip the preliminaries and go right to the part were the one-way coronavirus quarantine center door closes after you - minus the later medical services, the view out of the window, the nice food, and the release from quarantine ...

No more fist bumps or high fives, its air fives now

We have no room to judge any country. We’ve tested just over 400 people, are releasing people without testing after just 14 days and allowing infected people to fly on commercial planes.

“no longer valid
McDonald’s personnel handle food without gloves
COVID19 can infect after being on a surface for over 5 days I believe”

I agree my statement was strong and not backed up with facts, but I don’t think any facts are even out there as to how to avoid the threat. Obviously it’s better not to eat food that was just handled by others...but I still think that humanity would have been wiped out long ago if it spreading viruses was that easy. Anyway, appreciate the comment.

“Masks serve, if nothing else, as an ever-present reminder to not touch your face”

I doubt I can go for 3 minutes without doing that...so yea, good point!

A minor thing, but I’m noticing most stevia is sourced from China, which makes me want to give it up anyway. But does anyone know of either a non-China source. I’ve tried growing my own but I haven’t quite figured it out, it’s not very sweet.

use honey instead.

also, you’ll gradually get used to less and less sugary flavor.

This is interesting. 3 days ago a poster on Twitter said this was rampant in the higher echelons of Iran’s government.

Wonder how the clergy are doing...

How long will the virus be around? I think we will all get it at some time. Just keep your health up. Eat a garlic clove every day, have a bottle of edible oregano oil, vitamin C, and hot toddy's may help.
