Initial report is there were more sick workers then patients at the long term care facility. Were talking 100 to 200 Americans going down there eventually. And that’s just our first hot spot.

My wife has heard rumors of CT cases (CVS is rumor central) but no confirmed media reports.

That is false. It does have nasal and sinus issues.

“Li Wenliang looks very young to died from Coronavirus.”

Like some hybrid flus this virus can kill by making your immune system go berserk. Cytokine storm. That’s what can kill young adults with strong immune systems.

Lung diseases that kill infants and the elderly usually do it by secondary pneumonia.

That’s Texas, I doubt she took a Taxi. She probably drove herself. Still eating at a food court, visiting a mall. Plenty exposed.

San Antone. She was a quarantinee. Probably not from around here. Whether at Lackland or a hospital sadly the quickest way to North Star would be to hop on a city bus. With it being Independence Day, hopefully she didn't decide to see The Alamo. Sheesh.

Grr, hard to imagine people being careful.
Encouraging news.

19/25 firefighters who responded to the nursing home here show symptoms and are now in isolation.

Oregon’s full of a bunch of hippies that don’t believe in washing their hair or much else, to save the planet. California has that huge population of homeless and illegals so those numbers will be high. Both States are about as trustworthy of doing the right thing as China is, especially with Trump being POTUS. Lots of little socialist activists in gov.

Colds are upper respiratory. Nose, sinus, throat.

Covid and influenza are lung disease, deep in the chest. You will feel short of breath.

If your mask does not fit properly as you were trained to wear it, then you are actually more at risk than if you had none. And if you have a bug, you will more likely spread it around because your mask does not fit properly so the virus will escape.

China is starting to run its factories in that the electricity is on but may have few or no workers present. The Chinese use electrical consumption as an indicator of productivity.

Again the lie

The virus causes a lung infection. The only pathway in is through the sinal passages. So the sinuses are as sick as the lungs, until you take medication. Typically sinuses are infected first. Then the lungs. Makes sense anyways physically.

So far so good here.

I am also involved in another (totally unrelated topic) forum that has a coronavirus thread. The most interesting comments there are from the Pacific Northwest. People are _very_ jumpy up there—and the stores are getting crowded.

Other tidbit from that group—big-time cancellations in NYC hotels from foreigners.

That was over 100 freshly dead bodies there. They appear to be multi bagging the corpses in the east.

It sounds as if a round of the regular flu in this facility would have had the same result.

and they are doing mass graves, not cremation. That was a big no-no in China for infection control reasons.

Can’t help but wonder if any of the elderly individuals campaigning to be president will come down with a case of COVID-19 and die. Sorry, had to say it.

Sanders and Biden would be the most susceptible since both have had serious health issues plus their age. Bloomberg and Warren seem healthy enough so they'd probably get through it okay. Not wishing this on anybody, even those clowns.
