Yesterday's thread is here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3823939/posts?page=1301
So food wise, we are not dependent on China in a national security sense?
Could be an antigen drift or shift, like with HIV, I suppose.
Agreed. And as there is no corroboration, their numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Agreed. If we’re lucky, we’ll have a working vaccine for Wuhan Virus by year end. Until then, the new buzzword, flatten the curve, is one of our few defenses. Limited exposure, social distancing, and lots of nesting and self-pampering. And family love - from 6 feet haha. I’ve already bought the paint to do-over the casita and the guest bath. That should keep me busy for at least a week. And it’s more fun than cleaning the attic ;)
Why do you think that? All at the same time?
Thanks for the aerosol links. Just talked to a doctor in a European country where they are following WHO guidelines. Goggles do not need to be air tight according to WHO. Doh. You will hear soon about 12 % of their reported cases being medical.
Tomorrow (friend) has been asked to be part of a meeting for (hospital) being Chief or Surgery to ultimately decide which surgeries are emergent and which are more elective and the hospital will cease what isn’t emergent with the uprising in this pandemic. This is unprecedented in his or my lifetime. While doing this to keep our community safe it doesn’t come with cost. A total reduction in staff, their incomes and anesthesia & surgery staff in huge reductions and around a 40% reduction in income in most surgeons with families.
Very scary
In other words this local hospital is cutting costs right now and putting off surgeries in order to prepare for what they think will be a huge influx of pandemic patients in the very near future.
Great attitude.

that was Lookners opinion
but he has been reporting on this since late Jan when there were 44 cases in Wuhan
Italy, Spain, and other countries now on lockdown all followed the same pattern
Social distancing doesn’t work if people don’t follow it
T expected China to be more honest now to comfort their Western investors/buyers.
But it turns out there’s no demand for Chin;’s goods so that doesn’t matter.
Understand. Just don't like to see a quitter attitude.
Pretty good guidance here:

If I think it’ll be in long, I wrap meat tightly with about 3 layers of Saran Wrap, then with a layer of foil, then put it in a freezer bag, again removing as much air as possible. I’ve pulled meat out 6-8 months later and it was fine.
Agree with Hogan. Going by active cases is meaningless with such a nightmare regarding testing. I bailed out from work over a week ago...not because there were any identified cases in my area, but because there were almost-certainly tons of unidentified cases in my area.
But my work (office environment) is still only talking about sending people home...not doing anything. I guess they’ll wait until testing confirms the obvious - and with no shortage of sick people by that point.
the local hospitals need to work together. This one and that one, you do knee replacements, hernias and kidney stones. Over there, you’re an ICU hospital. Waive practicing privilege for visiting doctors. Share the burden and pay per originating hospital.
It's where those big hairy guys dressed as women tell stories to kids, dance for them and have them sit on their laps
183 new cases in SK but 8 deaths
another bad ratio day 4.3% daily fatality rate
pushes the overall ratio up to .92% percent
Over the road truckers have limited contact with other people.
Well over half of trucking is not over the road and those truckers rarely stop at truck stops.
They are doing local pick ups and deliveries and have much more human contact.
The local guys have far more to worry about.
Still massively in denial, I see.
You’ve not been following this long. Most of us have been watching it for 6 or more weeks. We have a clue, but every day some of you new butflubros come along knowing ALL the answers and try to instruct us, again. Unfortunately, your special knowledge is just that - special.
I posted the CDC link. Go do some remedial reading and come back when you are talking out of the proper orifice.
