A spread without coughing and sneezing does seem to be one that would be prevented by hand washing- which is so heavily recommended by the authorities.
Maybe it’s in the sweat of the asymptomatic?

Interesting.

A judge rules that our federal system of healthcare gives the central government power to overrule states whenever they want to.

Y2K. Oh man. Dont get me started. I hid out in the low dessert. Got stuck and almost did not make it out. Was about 10 to 12 miles from Palm Springs. Lol. Hey you know they got hidden compounds out in the dessert around there. Surrounded by raised hills.

Aerosolized would explain all of it, and there are clues of that. But no one wants to come out and say it.

The healthcare workers in China, and now other countries are armed with just short of the highest level PPE and hundreds of them got sick.

That’s my theory anyway. Aerosolized also explains how asymptomatic spread it,

Tick, tick, tick....

I don't think that sort of national request on K-12 closure will ever be done in the US. It's just antithetical to our national culture and how we view the federal government's role in local affairs. But there will always be people who want the government to do something, anything to correct the problem, no matter what needs tp be done.

Such a request in Japan is better considered as there is a high degree of community conformity, but Abe's request was just that - and in fact some cities are not going along with the request. Time will tell if they made the right decision.

I talked with someone from Osaka today and she asked if she went to Japan over the summer, would the US let her back in in late August. I said I thought it would depend on the COVID-19 status in Japan. It was sad, as she seemed scared, but she talked with some friends her age and regained her composure.

Y2K--It is amazing our marriage survived.

I made my wife walk a mile to the nearest restaurant where we celebrated New Year's Eve.

Why? Because I was worried the electronics on the car would fail at midnight. ;-)

We are still happily married, probably because she so enjoys reminding me about that incident!

My sister is in Everette. Said there was a riot at Costco over toilet paper. Lots of rumors about the bug. Worried about my folks there too

Don’t be the man that lit the fuze.

It will haunt you.

Even if we assume that - and that's still an unverified assumption - people will still ave to cough or sneeze, correct?

But if you are correct - then it's a compelling reason or companies to encourage as many people as possible to work from home. I was in a Walmart this evening and the cashier coughed and wiped her mouth with her hand. Classy. I took my items to the self-checkout which had just been wiped down with some ammonia smelling concoction.

Think we are getting the two step on the mask. They will nationalize all production for first responders, care, military, etc.. So to make that palatable, you first tell the public they dont really need them. Then once the feds have locked up their stash, a mysterious report will be found, stating masks are effective. Oops. Okay now you all need them to be in public. Just like China. Over there you get beat up if you refuse the mask.

I agree, but without coughing and sneezing aerosol spread is much less effective.
Does account for a lot of things that hand-washing is meant to prevent though...

*** Judge and CDC Ouch! ***

There are 120 Coronavidians @ JBSA Lackland in San Antonio, though I suppose some left as soon as the TRO was overturned. I know two were from Syracuse, NY, but I forget any other locales mentioned.

No.

Breathing the same air is sufficient, like measles.

The way someone explained it on here, if someone cuts an orange, and you smell it from a distance, that is aerosolized. The particles are smaller than airborne.

The interview with the American couple on the ship was what made me first think about it. Their daughter is a doctor in DC and spoke with someone at the CDC who said it was likely in the air circulating on the ship.

Hopefully, she’ll get a bill for that deep cleaning, if she actually broke quarantine.
