Eight planes at Heathrow Airport were grounded this morning after passengers complained of coronavirus symptoms. Passengers on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco were told to stay put after landing because someone on board may have caught the deadly flu-like disease. The captain reportedly warned they could be stuck on the tarmac for some time as the alarm had been raised on ‘seven other planes’.

coronavirus symptoms
They make it seem like it’s some kind of special illness signature. Panic! Someone sniffles. Someone has the flu. It’s February.
That said, there is a lot of suspicion surrounding this virus. I have no special knowledge, but it is an interesting coincidence this happens on the heels of the trade dispute. My personal opinion is this was an accidental leak of a man-made virus from a bioweapons lab. But can’t really rule anything out at this point.

I can see that. But so too would be taxi cabs and Uber/Lyft cars.

Well, if it’s 9 days on a surface for the virus to remain viable; if it arrives by boat I would wait a few data to open it
If by air, 9 days after it arrives
Then probably spray with 1:10 diluted bleach to water; just to be safe. Lysol if fabric.
Unless it’s perishables, time and temperature is your friend, IMHO

What good is testing if there is a 14 day incubation period?

According to the map, Greenland is still safe.
I wonder if President Trump’s overture to Denmark is still under consideration ...

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.

Steve Hatfil is thinking that the Covid-19 virus outbreak may have begun as early as last October. Hard to know exactly because CCP tried keeping it hidden. If it did it had a lot of time to spread before the city was quarantined.

Can’t blame you. I just cancelled what was an upcoming Asian vacation. It can wait.

My guess is Jet Lag is actually your body fighting off all the virus exposure.

Package from China ? A package from any where now.
Use doctors examination gloves
Cut away outer box and discard as contaminated
Clean inner package with bleach spray or bleach wipes
Hope inner items were made before January if from China. Before February if made in US. Old school rules the apocalypse baby !
