ugh...young...exposed...now in critical condition. Underlying health issues? This is when having a media that doesn’t do their job infuriates me.

N-95 MASK ADVICE

When using an N-95 mask and nitrile gloves, don't touch the mask with the gloves on. Put the mask on, and take if off, only with your bare hands. Don the gloves only when the mask is already on.

The reason for this is that the nitrile gloves are SUPPOSED TO collect any CoVid-95 particles you might pick up by touching things, and keep those away from your skin. But, if you touch the mask with your gloved hands, you risk transferring those CoVid-95 particles to the exterior of the N-95 mask, and thereby overload the mask's protective surface with dangerous particles, at least in the touched areas.

At 50 infected per one dead, the North Koreans have 10,000 soldiers infected. Unless these soldiers were excessively exposed.

WTH was going on at that biogen conference?!

Was there a server or hotel concierge that was infected? Someone in housekeeping?

Half measures.

Here is what flattening the curve looks like in a state:

--Quarantining the state--no travel in or out of state. This means you have no out of state cases to worry about any more.

--Set up quarantine areas for folks who test positive and health care workers.

--Set up full blown new health care facilities within quarantine areas.

--Set up internal quarantines around hot spots (mostly your big cities, nobody in or out).

--Test all health care workers, military/police, other key officials at least once a week.

--Messaging--just stop talking about "do this, do that" on a voluntary basis. It is distracting, sends the wrong message about the situation, and is basically irrelevant to the big picture.

"We have a historic crisis here, and I am taking unprecedented action to protect the lives of our citizens and the integrity of our health care system. We will all work together to get through this _together_. If you want to vote me out of office when the next election is here, you are free to do so. In the meantime I am taking the actions I believe are essential for the well-being of our state."

Deliver the message behind a glass door wearing a bio-suit.

Then, that state will flatten its curve. If other states turn into dumpster fires, you are protected.

CORONAVIRUS

Posted: Mar 10, 2020 / 03:34 PM EDT / Updated: Mar 10, 2020 / 03:47 PM EDTFALLS CHURCH, Va. (WRIC) — A U.S. Navy employee at the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Falls Church, Va., has been admitted to a hospital in Northern Virginia after testing presumptive positive for COVID-19, the Navy announced Tuesday afternoon.

The case is the first of a U.S. Navy civilian in Virginia and the ninth reported in the commonwealth. Health officials confirmed the eighth positive case on Tuesday after getting test results from a Loudoun County resident and a Virginia Beach couple.

...

The other cases in Virginia are: a Fairfax husband and wife who recently returned from a Nile River cruise; a resident of Spotsylvania County in their 50s who sought medical attention after developing fever, cough and shortness of breath, and is currently stable; an Arlington County resident in their 60s who tested who positive Sunday evening; and a U.S. Marine being treated at Fort Belvoir, just outside of the nation’s capital.

The sink in the possible self isolation bathroom (knock on wood) clogged a couple days ago and we were out of drain cleaner. Poured juice from a too old to finish jar of pickled peppers (say that 3 times), salt and baking soda down it and it seemed to work. Good news, found Draino while organizing cabinets today. It’s these little things that are going to trip us up.

the usually crowded roads are lovely to drive

With lots of people working from home my wife has been enjoying a much shorter commute time. Spring break is about to start and should make it even shorter, and all "in-person" instruction is being cancelled so they are not coming back.

They brought it in. These folks were from all over the world.

But, I am sure they shared it with the staff. Who took it home to Dorchester, Roxbury, Cambridge, Natick...and any of the other places they work.

You would think people in the bioengineering world would have more sense.

The food at that Marriott isn’t even that good.

NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand Back doors and car park triages at GP clinics
Today, 03:30 PM
Springlands Health practice manager Mark McLean said the practice had introduced phone screening a week and a half ago, and fitted an intercom system outside the door on Monday.

“With the growing concerns around coronavirus, we decided that we would be screening everybody at the door that was coming into the practice.”

If a patient had potential symptoms of coronavirus, or had been in contact with someone who had, they were asked to return to their car where a clinician would call them, McLean said.

McLean said the new procedure was not to scare people, but to protect vulnerable patients from being exposed to viruses in the waiting room.

“Some are going in a back entrance if they think they’ve got a respiratory issue.

“Others have got a sign telling people to phone if they’re unwell and someone will go out and triage them from the car park.”

Nelson Marlborough Health chief medical officer Dr Nick Baker said they were “meticulously” streaming potentially infectious cases separately within the health system.

“The first step of streaming is to ring the health line and see if you should be seriously concerned or not. If you are then going to come into health care, ringing the practice ahead.

He said it was advisable to implement a “low touch culture” for a while, which might involve looking at workplace practices such as hand shaking, meetings and gatherings.

“Germs don’t fly, they hitch-hike,” he said.

“The virus needs a chain of infection to thrive ... At a community level, everything we can do to break or weaken that chain of infection is good.
