I wonder how many “it’s just a flu” Freepers will apply?

It’s a chance to make some good money.

Yeah, the “it’s just a flu” crowd should consider going into the coronavirus decontamination business.

The article pointed out, that by the time you count the quarantines you’ll have to go through, it’s not worth it.

Sounds like a job for the Dirty Dozen. Send 12 people who are condemned to death. If they survive, their sentence is commuted.

There’s an idea.

Or let’s tell Mueller’s team that there is incriminating evidence on Hillary. They’ll go scrub it clean.

I was going to say Trump, but I couldn’t figure out what would get them to clean.

Basically it would be considered a “hazardous materials” operation here in the US.....under ‘Hazard Class 6: Toxic Materials’ (infections)

First, I’d call someone with sufficient ozone generators to “bomb” the whole ship. Then, send in a crew to wipe up the little virus corpses.

I’m with you, but let’s be fair, we need to remind them to bring a box of Kleenex with them.

Saw this on FB:

“Learn the right ways to prevent contamination!
Lane DeBruce
Visual Storyteller · 3 hrs
Just a comment from a medical perspective; I was at the airport flying back home this morning, I noticed two women wearing surgical masks, we were in line at Dunkin Donuts, the two women were ahead of me in line and got their coffee and breakfast and sat at a table that was stainless steel. Trying not to be obvious I got my order and sat where I could see them, here is what I observed; woman A reached up and pulled her mask down below her chin, she then rubbed her face with her hands, contamination point number 1, she then open the sack that had her breakfast with her hands began eating a donut, contamination point number 2, she then open her coffee picked up a stirring stick off the stainless steel table, added sugar and stirred her coffee and drank some contamination point number 3, never once did she attempt to clean her hands, the table or any instrument of possible contamination. I sat there in wonder why the woman had her mask on when she obviously didn’t understand the first thing about why she was wearing it. It’s about educating ourselves, our friends our family. There is a right way to put on a mask and wear it and a right way to remove it without contaminating yourself.”

Follows my observations around here. People just can't keep their hands away from their faces and are oblivious to the contamination sources.

The mortality rate is only 2%. That is a lot of murderers to let off the hook.
