COVID* STANDFORD MASK STUDY---Elsevier journal to retract widely debunked masks study whose author claimed a Stanford affiliation p345

That's why CDC is moving from containment to mitigation. The next couple weeks might prove to be interesting.

I was thinking about that the other day. What a nightmare.

Have a trip to the east coast on the 8th of March
till the 11th.

Getting a bit scared about taking it.
Ironically it's Jekyll Island, the beginnings of
the Federal Reserve.

What is the point in renaming it other
than adding to the confusion that already
exists?

So, if you have no symptoms, your free to
fly away? WTF?

So that's 2 counties in Cali that have declared emergencies? Santa Clara being the other? I don't remember.

Honestly I wouldn't fly right now.

Jekyll is gross lol you're not missing anything..

Either way..enjoy your stay.

One could not pay me enough to get on a plane right now.

Things may look a lot different in a month. You have a while to change your mind should circumstances change.

yes. but they explained it that when they first
discovered it the gave it a temporary name (2019......)
until they could give the the Official name (consistent
with their "Style Book") so now we have Covid-19

Because that's more important than making the tough decisions.

COVID19 is the virus SARS-CoV-2 is the disease caused by COVID19. Clear as mud.

Despite the US’ offer to assist #NorthKorea in dealing with the challenge of novel #coronavirus pneumonia, or #COVID-9, Chinese experts said #Pyongyang is likely to ignore the US proposal as it can handle the challenge on its own.

i don't know what yer about. (though lots of GLPer are saying it)

but

Covid-19 is is is the WHO's new name for 2019-nCoV

(no other of these little buggers are involved with this name change)

Looking to increase funding for local quarantine operations connected to novel coronavirus, San Diego county public health officials declared health and local emergencies Friday afternoon.

The action, which must be ratified by the county supervisors on Feb. 19, is similar to one taken by the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 3 and renewed for an additional 30 days on Feb. 10. If approved, it would help the county seek state reimbursement for examining, testing and following up with people in the community who are at increased risk of corona infection and also make it easier to request help from other government agencies.

The narrative is changing:

Yes, Coronavirus Is More Troubling Than the Flu

[snip]

Well, no. Pandemics are unique, and apples-to-oranges comparisons often obscure more than they illuminate. The current coronavirus outbreak is legitimately more alarming than normal seasonal flu, and public-health officials are probably right to be responding with unusually drastic measures. Such actions shouldn’t be taken with every disease outbreak, though, unless we’re prepared to accept dystopian restrictions on basic freedoms as a routine part of life.

The guy in Toronto and his wife are still showing positive nasal carriage. He has been a carrier for almost a month but he's been symptom free for at least a week. What if there are chronic carriers?

Will they just quarantine them forever? And how many of the cured cases in china were actually " cured " vs "freed of the carrier state".

I'm glad Canada is at least doing something right in all of this mess by having high standards for release from quarantine. (Must have 2 neg tests in a row.)

But if its really this contagious and many people might be chronic carriers for who knows how long...

What is the way out of this dilemma? How long can they hold people prisoners in their own homes? How long should they?

Let's keep an eye on this guy and his wifey. we can get a good idea of duration and/or carriage state because canada wont release him until he has 2 negative tests

He fell ill on the plane, that was the 22nd of January. So its been 3 weeks now and he's been symptom free for at least a week (according to internet )

Of the 7, the only one who has been released is the girl in London Ontario and I believe there is 2 or 3 more in Vancouver with a presumptive status from local lab dx.

I wonder how much longer they can keep the stock markets artificially propped up?

Back around 1918 it took a long time for the Spanish Flu to circle the globe, and the second time around it was much deadlier. Today with air travel it shouldn't take that long until most of the world's populations are exposed to the Coronavirus the first time, and it sounds like it's the second exposure that will kill, especially smokers.

Heard a counter argument today about vaccines making the immune response stronger, and in the case of cytokine storm - making the 2nd exposure worse, because the body is attacked by its own immune system.

So much conflicting information everywhere.

We're being told to not panic - that mean's we have a real problem.

I would look for the major outbreaks in the U.S. to start around college towns, because of all the Chinese students that just came back to the U.S. after the Christmas break.

If you live in a college town, I wouldn't got to any public place without full protection.

Follow up:

The message from the U.S. Embassy says people who decline to take this flight "will be unable to return to the United States for a period of time." The CDC will determine for how long, it said.

That was good. Thanks.

HOLY FUCK. I CAN'T EVEN FINISH THIS ARTICLE. MAYBE I'LL BE SEEING MY MOTHER AGAIN SOONER THAN I THOUGHT.

and then another 2 weeks if there's another positive.
