40,000 WA folks went to a soccer game this last weekend—not very bright imho—my mama told me “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”


I agree people in Seattle are not too bright. I live north of Seattle and my community is moderately less intellectually impaired.

I have seen homeless people in downtown Seattle crossing the street into oncoming traffic and folks in business suits heedlessly following them. That is how things are done in Seattle, just following this pied piper or that like lemmings to the sea.

This virus is now endemic to the human population and any effort at containment is a fool’s game.

Yep...just have to see how it's going to play out now. Best case: mutates rapidly into something non-harmful.

“We have made adjustments at the organization to allow for airborne precautions,” Palazoo said.

Too bad these “experts” get their information from the “experts” at the CDC. If they had consulted FR three weeks ago they would have figured this out already!

And they just infected their firehouses. Their fellow fireman are catching it or already have it. Their family members...

We just got a “no international travel’ hit last night.

Heading to a complete ban.

Kind of sucks for me. I was heading to St George Island for work next month.

” I’m just catching up with the news... “

So hard to stay on top of this:
Very disappointed with US info.
My ‘China hands’ are silent on what’s happening there.

You do much better than most of us on keeping up.

The insurance companies are gonna take big hits on event cancellation policies. They will be screaming for a bailout no doubt.

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....

That assertion is not proving out in locations that are already warm.

Heavy drinking is ok, as long as you get the sunlight you need. ;-)

This is a few miles from me. These people are idiots. I think I heard some lame excuse that because the WHO hasn’t called it a pandemic yet, that they can’t show up in protective gear.

On twitter it showed the medics rolling up. They jumped out in their normal uniforms and no masks. The video stopped, so I don’t know what sort of PPE they donned. Little to none I’m guessing, as the earlier fire fighters (25?) are all showing “flu” symptoms and on quarantine.

Some of those early photos of Chinese with buckets over their heads showed them better protected than these people.

The debate on the “warm weather” topic is discussed in the last third of this video:

It is not “settled science” ;-)—but it looks like warm weather will greatly slow spread of the disease.

The virus is mostly spreading indoors. Humans are the vectors. Temperature has nothing at all to do with anything since indoor temps are relatively stable. Temp of course has effects on our immune system.
