Singapore also has the considerable advantage of having a tropical rain forest climate.

If one is looking for a “canary”, at this point I’d say South Korea. Possibly Italy.

But it can reduce the mortality rate! Where would you get a lung in China? And who would want one?

Why, from the political prisoner of your choice, of course!

This crap is why I don’t trust Limbaugh.

He’s wishy washy at best.

CDC ‘erroneously’ identified first patient to die as female.

They did that on purpose to make Trump look bad.

Just got back from my 2nd supply run this weekend. I should be all set for a month or so. Was able to find hand sanitizers restocked so picked up several and some travel sizes. We have enough but I’ll be gifting those to my clueless children.

They added that at some point in the past. Prior to that threads were cluttered with repeated info.

This is a very important thread for public health officials & the Trump Admin to consider: 1 in 11 coronavirus patients are in ICU in Italy right now.

Northern Italy ran out of ICU beds in 5 days.

They are: rehiring retired medical staff, expanding bed capacity, etc.

Our last walmart run (in the store) was Tuesday.

We don’t plan to go back in walmart for a while until we see how things will resolve.

Pickup it will be from now on. Not perfect mind you, but for non perishables that can be left in the car for a few days to de-germ (probably not a bad idea during flu season anyways) you limit your contact to the person(s) who bring it out and hopefully use lysol wipes to wipe down the pen/stylus/ipad thingie they use.

Ditto kroger.

Our Walmart here in NC is the same. I’ve found our grocery store is much better stocked for all of those items. It was insanely busy for a Sunday morning though, so I’m not sure how long that will last.

That’s actually a low number. China numbers had 20% in an ICU bed.

For those in denial, that means if 10,000 people get this in a major metropolitan area, 1000 of them will need an ICU bed. No major metro areas have 1000 free ICU beds right now. Much less ‘isolation’ type beds.

Disaster.

Meanwhile, if you’re south of 32N latitude, you can officially make D3 (the best kind of D3) by going outside for 20-30m during midday, right around noon. Don’t burn, and make sure you aren’t on any meds that preclude sun exposure. Just ‘flip like bacon’ those parts that are exposed to the sun so you don’t over expose anything you’d rather not :) 20-30m is about all the sun exposure you need to make D3 as your body simply doesn’t make it once its capacity for production is ‘occupied’. So hours and hours won’t really raise your D3 over and above what 30m would have done anyways.

https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/azel.html

IIRC the ‘elevation’ number in that chart needs to be 50deg or higher to make D3.

That is true even in a 24 hour walmarts. They restock at night. But that will be changing soon. Maximum quantities at purchase will soon kick in. And expect all N95 mask production to be nationalized soon. Of course we can still make our own. Nationalization means unless your helping or connected, you aint getting any. It’s cool. We can make masks too.

Airborne= droplets...Sneed or coughed on you- six feet is safe distance.

Aerosolized= smaller size remains suspended/travels in air.like the odor you can smell down the hall after someone takes a stinky poop.
