Corona Virus

[Ja Rhule]

My friend’s wife is a nurse and he said hospital is out of masks.  fuging disaster.  I have 14 masks but I’m keeping them for my family.

Question:

If the floor is full of Coronavirus patients, does the staff have to change gowns, etc with each room visit?  Asking for the nurse folks here.

Was reading a website and it’s almost certain there will be a vaccine for SARS within a year which will block some other coronaviruses.

Hey, maybe you should show your friend his work website and the study they wrote.

I'm morbidly curious, what do you think that link is actually saying in regard to what you were attempting to say, because I honestly have no idea how to interpret that beating you gave the English language in that post I initially quoted with only "what?" as the reply. The "what?" simply referred to your English being unintelligible.

So cases went down and deaths went down today.  Good sign?  Or just a pothole on the continued rise?

Ahhhh.  Yea, I’m watching naked and afraid, talking to my kids and trying to reply to a post.  Probably made no sense.

May is the month where we should see the big drop.

I call bullshit on India having only like 5k cases.

COVID-19 is slowly being renamed to SARS-CoV-2

What, no... COVID19 is the name of the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus... 2 separate things, nothing is being renamed.

Cities and states are dealing with the virus on different timelines. 

Add to that, government responses have run the gamut from passive to proactive.

We also have infected people migrating from hot spots to other areas of the country.

It's like herding cats.

I'm going to laugh when we come out of this with a good number of cases and about 25 to 50 deaths. This is going to be a good thread to dig up. 

Well, these early comments aged well....

True.

NYC metro area is very densely populated and to be honest, I don't know what anyone could do with that place.  There is not an arms length of space as everyone is on top of each other.

CA and TX have done a decent job trying to keep folks away from each other for the populations they have.  Houston is a very large city.  Saying is, that when you are in Houston, your are still 2 hours from Houston.  At least they are spread out, hoping it makes a difference.

Mardi Gras just did New Orleans no favors
