CoronaVirus

vtec to vvel

Well in that case, let’s name them all: common cold, flu, AIDS, STD’s, MMR, chicken pox, small pox, VD....

And thanks to the media who lured in suckers like me, P&G/J&J/etc. are making a killing off of mass bulk buying.

Does Rush Hour 2 count? Chris Tucker playing James Carter and while talking to Lee (Jackie Chan) says, “Follow the rich white man....”

Once the hospitals are overwhelmed. The death rate will sky rocket. Iran and Italy come to mind.

Besides those deaths are mostly elderly people with already compromised respiratory issues ( btw Im not implying you Rusty as one of them) your beyond the age qualification fyi. Lol


The ebola, swine and h1N1 have killed dozen millions combined in America.

Honestly Im more concerned about the growing population of men having erectile disfunction ( and yes Rusty here you might qualify) and that is why I drive a Corvette! Hint!

Zington tell your sister 9/10 of Urologist have this disfunction and most of them wears adult diapers.

A Proctologist ! man...I swear they know all the nerves inside that can tickle your goose bumps.

Just saying . Back to topic.

Yes someone out there are making a killing in making money out of this scare.
Keep yourself hydrated, wash your hands, wear mask if your sick. Drink lots of Vitmain C. Take elderberry to boost your immune system.

Be vigilant.

Are you still going on that cruise? You better bail out on that one.

Rusty

We got an e-mail yesterday says that if we want out, we can at anytime. Plus we been getting e-mails for cruises that only go to Canada and the US. No Caribbean or overseas.

From a friend of mine who is an infectious disease scientist @ MIT:

"Another note on the novel coronavirus, COVID-19.

MIT has cancelled all events with >125 people and prohibited all international business travel. Stanford is moving to all-online classes. Why such extreme measures despite so few deaths so far?

The goal is to slow the burn of the pandemic. There is no preexisting immunity to COVID-19, so many or most of us will get infected with it at some point. This is a reality we are unlikely to avoid. So far, the numbers (including from countries with huge operations for detecting mild cases) suggest that >10% of infected people require hospitalization. If we can slow the spread, we can avoid overwhelming our hospitals. If we exceed the capacity of hospitals, the death rate will be elevated above the estimated 0.5%-2% of cases. People will begin to die from unrelated and treatable causes, due to lack of hospital capacity.

Why are we seeing such alarm now, more than anything we can remember? This virus appears to have a unique combination of infectiousness and lethality. While mathematical estimates of these features are hard to nail down in the early stages of a pandemic, it is very likely that this is the worst combination of infectiousness and lethality that the world has seen since 1918 Spanish flu. Note that these lethality estimates of >0.5% are much worse than seasonal flu and are coming from countries with good healthcare. (It remains possible that many infections are so asymptomatic that they are impossible to detect even with surveillance, but it will take time to do the serotests to make this determination.)

The good news is that we live in a modern era, where we can prepare. We can enhance hand hygiene, decrease travel, lower exposure, and use teleconferencing solutions to replace some features of large gatherings. Infectiousness is a property of our behavior, as well as of the virus itself. Another bright spot is that this virus does not appear to have high lethality rates in children and young people.

This is all to say -- I think the attached graphic is fantastic. It nicely explains the goal of public health measures. We can't prevent this pandemic from infecting a huge number of us, but we can save lives by slowing its burn."

I saw some research that said only stupid people die from Coronavirus. Here's hoping!

Don’t forget this:

No symptoms DOES NOT mean you are not a carrier. One can potentially start spreading unknowingly.

It takes time for the virus to get to your lungs, then multiply and develop symptoms. Between first contracting the virus and symptoms showing, one can look and feel healthy but in fact just asymptomatic.

Why does that matter? Because for the younger, independent (single or not many directly depend on his/her care), while one may not worry about dying yourself, one can still spread it to those that are more susceptible to the mortality rate.

At Home Depot. You can't order the N95 masks online. We can't order them for the store either. We caught people stealing them this past weekend. One guy was trying to walk out the door with 2 full face respirators with cartilages. We have no more at the store. Have no idea if and when we will be getting more. Contractors are pissed.

My dad was commenting on this. He said it's impossible to get dust masks right now, so he's actually re-using his when doing drywall. Mostly just an inconvenience.

A whole lot of 'entrepreneurs' bought out the stocks of N95 and are reselling at 4-10 times MSRP.

Viral infections are often accompanied by diarrhea.

It is also very valuable for bartering, if things get bad enough.
