There were some early. But they locked down the Chinese border pretty quickly.

The noise in the US is now deafening the rest of the world.

Must be osmosis. I read the “inn” in there.

True, but... these efforts may buy some time, just like stopping flights. It doesn’t stop the virus but more time means more time to work on therapeutics.

any effort at containment is a fool’s game.

Exactly.

The mall will have more infected non-symptomatic folks from the general population visiting it in the coming days, probably every day...

Also, slowing the spread is better for our healthcare systems.

Warm weather will stop this thing before a vaccine is ready, most likely—so in Texas it should die on its own fairly quickly—but the next month will not be pretty....

Anyone care to post the stats of age and mortality in countries outside USA.

Where is the valid data out of the states?

How valid is our data?

CDC is finally getting valid testing kits out this week.

So how valid were any so called tests in the past.

It’s almost like they told her ‘now make sure you walk from one end of the mall to the other, and be sure to go to the food court’.

Anybody below 32N lat can make D3. The best kind. 20-30m of sun at midday (around noon) will do the trick.

Don’t burn.

Don’t stay longer than 30m, you don’t make more after that.

If you can, flip like bacon to get max skin exposure. Be sure NOT to offend the neighbors though :)

This is a _very_ touchy subject, as I learned on one of the earlier threads.

My question was--if the South Korean and Italian tests were good, why couldn't we use the same tests here?

I think CDC wanted to get an excellent test, but the thing is, when every day counts, the perfect is the enemy of the good....

Placer county is an hour away from me in the California Motherlode country. Not happy about this.

Going out tomorrow again to hit up the pharmacy and the market one more time to stock up.

San Antonio on lockdown?

Or, just a disaster declaration that allows lock down when the health dept says so?

I take it you are a travel agent?—If so, you do have a bird’s eye view of this thing.
