“TRAVEL • The CDC is advising against non essential travel to China and South Korea.”
No worries. I wont be going to those sh*tholes. I dont even go to Chinatown or Koreatown. Odd that pet stores are beside Korean BBQ places here..
The biggest thing about the novel coronavirus is that we know so much less about it now than we do of the variant strains of influenza. Influenza has sort of been built into our consciousness as a sometimes deadly disease, wreaking havoc every season, but we are not even sure how to proceed against coronavirus just yet.
For one thing, testing started off being highly unreliable, and the development and distribution of a reliable and quick test has taken some amount of time, we are not altogether there yet. And an effective vaccine is still a dream that may not be available for some months yet, no matter how fast the crash program to develop it proceeds, partly for safety reasons, and partly for real efficacity, which may only be determined in large-scale testing.
