    That doesn't excuse our slow response to it.  Several other Asian countries have shown how it should've been tackled because of their experience with SARs.  It's all about what to do going forward now.  We differ on the responses.  I hope you come out of your self-quarantine fine.  Stay safe.

     

    yup, America sucks, everything it does is evil and horrible....

     

    too bad we weren't all living in a Communist Utopia...

    It shouldn't have.  It was obviously happening in China, as a matter of casual contact (as opposed to close or intimate).  A realistic appraisal of the administration's actions would be that they dithered for as much as four weeks on a casual assumption that p2p transmission wouldn't occur here. 

     

    I don't even think that was an explicit assumption, just a matter of context.  But it was still a bad assumption.

     

    Imagine if it were treatable by toilet paper...

     

    i'll do my daily run through 6 grocery stores within a mile from home and see what i can glean that is currently more priceless than diamonds

        Folks haven't quite got it about the tibs and garys on this board, they are purposely here

    to harass and incite...full on ignore is the only answer, because the responses that they get

    are exactly what they are looking for, particularly negative ones. It nourishes and profits them. 

    They are looking to provoke to get certain responses, and since all this is being archived,

    leaving evidence for future control. 

      These guys are the modern day brown shirts, modified to operate on the internet.

     

    and ignored like forever ago

    I'm with the OP. Some people are crazy. I heard on the radio yesterday that 73 men got on a ship in the Bay area. They were yelling something like "We're calling everyone to ride along to another shore, where we can laugh our lives away and be free once more!"

     

    It was creepy. But it had a nice beat.

     

    Brandy, you're a fine girl

    what a good wife you would make

     

     

    I'm getting closer to my home (repeat 85 times)

    You're an idiot.  ***** off.

     

    Still miss me?

     

    I'm the biggest idiot that i know

     

    thought you'd be back to guide us in this panic

    It is out there. There is NO containing it.  When the Chinese were not forthcoming, and the whole world did not close their borders to China, the world was *****. 

     

     

    it has been around in every major city since mid-January at the latest

    Been three weeks since I stocked up on non-perishables (yes, including toilet paper).  Told my wife "No, I'm not panicking.  This is prudence, because in about two weeks everyone else is going to panic."

     

    Also told my boss last week (Monday) that I would be full-time remote starting last Thursday, because I have a sister-in-law with COPD living with us, who I don't want to risk exposing to COVID.  Not panic, prudence - I'm in close contact with a high-risk individual.  Also, since last Monday, me, my wife, and my SIL have been taking our temperatures twice daily.  Again, prudence, not panic.

     

    Also had to go out this morning.  Wore bright green nitrile gloves from my workshop...less as a barrier against fomites than to make myself hyper-aware of what surfaces I touched, and what risks I might be encountering.  Again, prudence. 

     

    It's actually a pretty simple set of actions that keep my sister-in-law relatively safe, if you have half a brain.  Clearly, most people don't.

     

    thank you for your sane guidance, it was missed...

     

     

  7. at the grocery store yesterday, friend had someone cut in line ahead wearing a full hazmat with massive respirator and a handcart of a normal grocery basket

     

    i won't forward the picture as it might frighten you too much

     

    i suggested he pinch the airpipe for a few seconds next time

      As much as I would like to ignore Tibs and the liberal college professors who have their own weekend shows a person has to keep an eye on the opposition.  Too many impressionable young people out there that need a voice to point out what is wrong with these fools.  

     

      Scrooge McDuck (BNBB's)?

     

    there is no point at all with Tibs

     

    just think of a situation, like you see a bottle of sulphuric acid on the counter, Tibs will always advise to drink it

    The point? The hype and hysteria are ***** stupid. That is the point.

     

     

    one night I had to drive home in an ice storm, on the highway i was good at 60 km/h

     

    that took 2 hours without incident

     

    when i got back to the city, for the last few miles home, people were barely crawling around at 20 km, terrified to move at all

     

    i had to put up with it for awhile....

    Since the Wuhan Virus was first announced 69 days ago:
     

    Total number of confirmed global cases = 170,150
    Total number of confirmed global deaths = 6,513
    Total number of confirmed recoveries = 77,254

    The 2019-2020 flu season (10/1/19 through 3/7/20), US statistics only (estimated):
     

    Flu illnesses: 36,000,000 – 51,000,000
    Flu medical visits: 17,000,000 – 24,000,000
    Flu hospitalizations 370,000 – 670,000
    Flu deaths 22,000 – 55,000

     

     

     

    they won't listen, they never do, their entire life....

     

    try to avoid people like that at all costs...

    They never said it was a hoax and you know that. Trying to blame the president is disgusting and pathetic. 

     

    those people suck, they exposed themselves as suck-people every day of the Trump Admin

     

    of course they'd take this tactic

     

    ignore them, they aren't worth the sweat off my dog's *****

    don't worry students, the Integral portion of the calculus course, the 2nd half of the year will be easy and you can just put your emotional feelings on paper as to the answer

    we just found out there's  case in our suburb, so i can only imagine how many people already have it.  

     

    i know, am in the financial district of Toronto today, 3 of the 14 in the office showed up (we are free to work from home if we wish)

     

    my heroes are those working a cash register for their shift
