Long story short, this is worse than the fucking flu. For little kids and older people it is absolutely deadly.

For real? How did you catch it?

Fuck if I know. Didn't do any exotic travelling around that time. My doctor wasn't too freaked out at the time. I guess it wasn't as contagious as this strain.

Thanks. I don't think I was ever in a life threatening position, but I bet I was a hair away from being hospitalized. The real scary part about this virus was that it didn't seem like anything worse than a cold until it really started getting bad. And like I said, it got bad quick.

Limbaugh, the guy who reportedly stays in his Miami Beach estate with its own broadcast studio for weeks at a time says it’s another flu virus.

CDC is sending out advisories and warning of possible office and plant closings on a large scale in infected areas. Telling universities and school systems to have plans in place for closing schools. Telling businesses to be ready to rollout telecommuting.

The investor community is listening to experts. The CDC.

Dozens of manufacturers whose production is in China and Korea from automotive components, electronic components that go in everything from your car to the circuit board in your TV remote control are telling their US and European partners to expect long delays. Over 90% of residential lighting, light switches, sockets, even switch plates aren’t being made and factory stock is sitting in containers on Chinese docks. Almost every US electrical component and lighting manufacturer are sending out the the same warning letters.

Nothing to worry about.......Riiiiight

America is a stupid country.

So are you like immune to it now? Do you have super powers?

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2020-02-26, 16:11

I have a compromised immune system. If y'all don't hear from me for a while, DWags can handle my Swill-based arrangements.

On it. Do you want any Springsteen CD's or Albums thrown in the casket with you? Or, can we just take them all and sell them. Also, as I'm sure Jingles will be at the funeral, we'd probably like to use some money for better beer than the bud light I"ll have in the parking lot. Just thinking out loud here.

Just maybe play "Thunder Road" (the piano version from the Live '75-'85 box set) and I'll be good with that.

CDC declined to test new coronavirus patient for days, California hospital says

UC Davis Medical Center wrote in a memo to staff that the patient was transferred from another hospital on Feb. 19 with a suspected viral infection. The hospital requested coronavirus testing, but the CDC initially declined because the patient, who had not recently traveled to countries with outbreaks or been in contact with someone with the virus, did not meet the testing criteria.

It was not until Sunday that the CDC agreed to do a test, and the results then came back on Wednesday as positive.

Japan closing schools. As soon as a kid is confirmed infected here, I assume that will be the next step as well.

Interesting tidbit (not sure if legit):

“I don’t understand this,” Dr. Iwata said. “Primarily, children are not easily infected with coronavirus, and even if they are infected, they don’t easily fall seriously ill.”

According to the Googles...

https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/27/coronavirus-kids-what-role-transmission/

Though the evidence to date suggests this virus doesn’t inflict severe disease on children, there’s reason to think kids may be helping to amplify transmission. It’s a role they play to devastating effect during flu season, becoming ill and passing flu viruses on to their parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers.

Trump went to the podium yesterday and flat out lied about the number of coronavirus cases in the US saying it was 15 contradicting the guy from his own administration.

The the administrations “expert” said the coronavirus mortality rate is 2%, about the same as other flu mortality rates. But it’s not.

Mortality from other flu viruses is .1% or 1 death per every 1000 while 2 % is 2 deaths per every 100.

Hong Kong authorities said on Friday they quarantined a pet dog of a coronavirus patient after its nasal and oral samples tested "weak positive" for the virus, though they added they did not yet have evidence that it can be transmitted to pets.

Big brain time

“Our basic concept was to develop the technology and not specifically a vaccine for this kind or that kind of virus,” said Dr. Chen Katz, MIGAL’s biotechnology group leader. “The scientific framework for the vaccine is based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by self-activated endocytosis, causing the body to form antibodies against the virus.”

yep.

as I said earlier, we're all a lot more likely to die from some 2nd Amendment patriot murdering us, diabetes, heart disease, etc - things we have control over..

but, never let a good panic go to waste, I reckon.
