If you look under every post you’ll see “to #” that tells you what post is being replied to.
Agree.
(just kidding...adding a few ‘context’ words would sure help on these long threads)

I have been on FR 20 years and never noticed that. If it was a snake...
Haahah! Everything will make sense now;)

#BREAKING: Pope Francis says he is cancelling his planned annual retreat south of Rome due to a “cold”
...
This is after cancelling his events for last 2 days. Huh.
Compiled video of Chinese police forcing quarentine on Chinese citizens.
Every country needs to start making their own stuff or as much as possible.
“The original case they did track the guy’s movements and his “close” contacts. I hope by now they realize it can transmit even without being “close”.”

I agree and that has concerned me from the beginning. The CDC keeps saying it spreads like the flu but tracking it this last month it appears to spread much more easily, as several have theorized aerosolized versus airborne.
Someone posted that Singapore even randomly tests at routine dr appointments now.
This scientist mapped the most recent virus genome and came up with some major implications....

From the experience of Iran - recommending avoidance of corticosteroid prescriptions;
“Minoo Mohrz, a member of the Ministry of Health’s Infectious Diseases Committee in a conversation with Ilena, about the administration of cortins (especially dexamethasone) to patients suspected of having the flu or flu, said: “Normal doctors used the drug for the flu.” This is a dangerous prescription. The same risk exists for coronary patients when given dexamethasone.
“This is a false prescription,” he said. Many doctors routinely prescribe dexamethasone for clients who have symptoms of a fever or a cold. However, this prescription is mistaken even for the common cold.
“The matter has been investigated by the National Coronation Committee,” Mohrz said. At present, the directive has advised all doctors to avoid prescribing cortins, especially dexamethasone.
He added: “Doctors should be trained to avoid prescribing cortins.” Of course, this has been part of doctors’ training, but some forget it when they come to work.
A member of the State Committee on Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health said: “In these conditions, people should avoid any self-treatment.” Not only dexa, the use of acetaminophen, aspirin and such pills as can be found at home can affect the immune system. Can be. Therefore, aspirin is not recommended as a tablet.
Moharz also emphasized: “These cases should not be obsessive in order to prevent patients from following the recommendations and implementation of treatment protocols.” Patients may become sensitive and may not allow physicians to receive treatment. If so, their own health or lives are at risk. This is a recommendation to the doctors and it will be completed promptly. So there is no worry for patients.
“The best practice in the current situation is to prevent people from taking any medicines because they are unaware of drug interactions,” he said. Lack of confidence in the medical advice of physicians is as dangerous as taking these medications. Public awareness and the actions of the Ministry of Health can have a very fruitful result.“
SOUTH KOREA
South Korea reports 586 new cases of COVID-19, tally tops 3700
ANI
1st March 2020, 23:18 GMT+11
Seoul [South Korea], Mar 1 (Xinhua/ANI): South Korea confirmed 586 more cases of the COVID-19 on Sunday, raising the total number of infections in the country to 3,736.
The country also reported one more death from the virus on Sunday, bringing the death toll to 18. Fourteen patients are currently in critical condition, indicating a further increase in the death toll.
The virus infection soared in the past 11 days, with 3,119 new cases reported between February 19 and February 29. The country has raised its four-tier virus alert to the highest “red” level
SINGAPORE - up until the past two days the recovered was higher than the new infections. The past two days the infections have been more than the recovered. I’m hoping it’s just a temporary turn.
Two more cases discharged; four new cases of COVID-19 infection confirmed
1st Mar 2020
Two more cases of COVID-19 infection have been discharged from hospital today (Cases 54 and 60). In all, 74 have fully recovered from the infection and have been discharged from hospital.
Transmission in Italy, indeed all over Europe right now, appears to involve very little close contact.
The, “Well, in China they spit on the sidewalk and eat cats” meme is going out the window.
UK
Twelve more people test positive for coronavirus bringing UK Covid-19 total to 35
Twelve more people have tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases in the UK to 35, chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty has said.
The new cases were announce just hours after the Government outlined a new “battle plan” and said it will not “take anything off the table” in its response to the spread of Covid-19.
I agree, also “it’s just bad healthcare” meme. We are seeing it play out live in S. Korea right now where it is simply overwhelming healthcare.
MEXICO
Coronavirus in Mexico: they analyze eight other possible cases and fear grows. The four Mexican patients who tested positive had contact with an infected person in the city of Bergamo, Italy. ***One of those affected has no symptoms and is kept in quarantine***.

Very first thing in the morning might be better for grocery shopping. If your store opens at 6am, the shelves will be resotcked or in the process of and it will have been hours since the general public has sneezed in the store.
