THE SAN FRANCISCO POOP MAP

The coronavirus has evolved into two major types, with differing transmission rates and geographical distribution, according to a study published in the National Science Review on Tuesday.
A group of Chinese scientists analysed 103 coronavirus genomes and identified mutations in 149 sites across the strains.
They found that one type, which they called the L type, was more prevalent than the other, the S type, meaning it was more infectious. They also found that the L type had evolved from the S type, and that the L type was far more widespread before January 7 and in Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak.
Human actions soon after the outbreak was discovered in December may have changed the abundance of each type, the report said, citing the Chinese central and local governments’ drastic containment measures including lockdowns of cities, which it said may have curbed the spread of the L type.
The researchers said follow-up studies were needed to form a better understanding of the virus’ evolution and spread.
The spread of infection through faeces and urine has been recognised as an additional mode of transmission in China’s latest coronavirus diagnosis and treatment plan.
Citing research in which traces of coronavirus were found in patients’ stool samples, the NHC’s plan added contact with and aerosolisation of contaminated faeces and urine as transmission modes. Aerosolisation refers to conversion into particles small enough to be carried in the air.
Chinese health authorities have said that respiratory droplets and close contact with infected people are the main ways the coronavirus is spread. The NHC added in its previous treatment plan that aerosol transmission was possible for those in a relatively closed environment for long periods.

Mainland China’s new daily cases continued to drop as it reported 119 infections, but the day’s new reported deaths jumped to 38, from 31 a day earlier, bringing its total fatalities to 2,981.
That will be great news for citizens of San Francisco and Los Angeles.
I guess that’s one way to get rid of the “homeless”. Who couldn’t see this coming? The Rat Left,that’s who.
GMTA, for real. That was my first thought, too.
China’s numbers are pure lies and propaganda. It’s probably 10X worse.
LIES! WUHAN VIRUS IS NOT CONTAINED! (UNIQUE INSIGHTS FROM TWO WESTERN ADVENTURERS)
“China has told the whole world that they have defeated the Coronavirus, the numbers are going down, it’s okay to go to work, everything is cool, but it’s NOT. Potential under reporting by 10 fold.”
“But the Chinese government is so goddamn smart, to know how to play the long game. They best thing that could have happened for China, is for this not to ravage China itself, but to spread it around the world, because now they can point fingers elsewhere. This is the nightmare, they’re going to come out on top.”
Travis, you have thought about these kinds of issues for years. What is your strategy for staying well over the next few months? Thanks.
Flushing the toilet causes aerosolization.
And fomites might become a greater concern.
Wash yer paws!
If flushing the toilet, to causes aerosolization, I guess the only solution is to close the lid before flushing.
But that does not solve the problem if MALE urinals.

San Francisco is doomed. Their own poor policies, practices, and decisions are going to come back to haunt them. The part that really makes me angry though is they'll expect the Federal Government to step in and help them clean up and recover from their own poor decisions. We'll end up paying for their choices. 'eff San-Fran, this is going to be a problem of their own making. I'll bet you other cleaner cities will have no trouble controlling or at least drastically limiting the spread of the infection.
Not just the homeless. The poop can infect anyone since it is all over the streets.
Heard on Youtube last night that a resident in Wuhan is saying that 20 portable crematoriums are being used and they aren’t checking to see if the person is still alive.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
China’s numbers are pure lies and propaganda. It’s probably 10X worse
I wonder if South Korean and Italy has the L type the more dangerous type.
South Korea has open sewer systems and squat toilets.
The main thing the USA has that is better then China, South Korea and Iran is a modern sewer system. This might keep the outbreak low in the USA with the exception of the West Coast homeless population.
Note: I am very confused about Italy, that puzzle piece does not fit the Sewer theory.
During the SARS outbreak one fart plume infected 62 people. COVID19 Type L seems to be related in that respect ...
SARS is a corona virus strain, not a different virus, but a genetic variant.
