Coronavirus

I don't know what my blood type is, but I do know not to trust China about anything related to the spread of the virus.

is this legit...today an md sent me info about ibuprofen vs acetaminophen, but she’s a doctor, so i took notice...i swore off tylenol years ago, so it was troubling to read...also, i don’t take anything for fever, pain, etc.

now research indicates proxens and profens could be bad?

if you want the info, let me know.
 
This toilet paper thing is really amazing to see. It's embarrassing. The stupidity is going to spawn a new word for irrational behavior in a crisis.

The people frozen in place at Pompeii just needed toilet paper. Bubonic Plague victims... if only there had been toilet paper.

It really is nuts. I'm embarrassed to say this purchase was about 85% based on need and 15% based on my fear that I was never, ever going to be able to get the specific TP I need again.

I had set up an Amazon alert to email me whenever it came back in stock. I had gotten three different alerts over the last week, but by the time I saw the email and logged into Amazon it was already gone. So today I just left the webpage open and kept hitting F5 like it was National Signing Day (<--- where my football fans at?).

Anyway, I ordered 4 rolls (1 package). I could've been a dick and ordered everything they had in stock but then I would've had to punch myself in the face repeatedly.
 
I keep hearing the lockdown for a month talk going on. And, even if they forgive and put everyone on a financial hiatus for a month... everything is free (which would be an interesting experiment by itself). Let's forget about the financial/commerce part.

You folks who have a better understanding of biology, virology, etc., help me out.

If we all distance ourselves from each other for a month... 2 months. We all successfully deconnect physically for 2 months and everything peripheral (money related) is essentially put on collective hold. How does that KILL THE VIRUS? When we all reconnect... how are we suddenly safe? Does it infect all that it has presently infected and they either die or survive it. And, the rest of us are safe???

A virus can't survive without a host. If the infected can't pass it on then it dies.

From what I've read, there are basically 4 possible outcomes:

1) Eradicated by a vaccine (estimated 12-18 months away)
2) An antivirus slows or stops the spread
3) It runs out of hosts
4) Everyone gets it

I suppose it could be some combination of those as well, like 2 and 3 happening together. 4 is obviously worst case scenario, where estimates say as many as a million Americans could die.

Yikes. Starting to see the curve bend the same way as what's happened in other countries. Let's hope all the measures taken are enough to quell the surge. Stay safe, everybody.

ETA: These are cases in the U.S.

Yeah, I've been watching that too. As you said, let's hope that it starts to level off sooner rather than later.
 
I was fooled yesterday. I guess they had a delay in updating. I saw a plateau, which disappeared an hour later

Not really surprising since they are finally testing more people. I'm sure it's probably a lot more than that already.
 
If they are even being honest.
Post of the day. When have these chicomM govt f__ks been honest about anything?
The more you read and head , the more outrageous the Chinese govt mishandling of the virus outbreak sounds. I heard today that China very easily could have taken measures to report about the virus and to stop its spread 3 weeks before they did.

acting earlier would have reduced worldwide cases, deaths, countries it spread to.... by 95%!!

talk about bio terrorist world criminals! They’ve intentionally inflicted more damage than the 9/11 terrorists.

Yeah, the Jews were spreading disease all over Europe during the 30’s also.
