Let me guess.Washington?
FL not to expand CV testing guidelines, per CNBC....looking for link.
Also, Congresses CV spending package involves assisting foreign countries...will also look for that link.
Neveda first case VA related
The first patient in Nevada has tested presumptively positive for the novel coronavirus, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
A test performed by the Southern Nevada Health District confirmed the patient is presumptively positive for the virus, and a sample is being sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for official confirmation. The individual was identified through the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System.
Just what Mid-TN needs on top of the tornado recovery.
Iran - need to do the confirm age thing to watch. Sorry, not doing that
Remember everyone, bypass the trolls. They see a new thread and have to give their 2 cents to the people here providing and garnering information. DO NOT GIVE THEM THE SATISFACTION OF A TESPONSE...
Same here, but living on the East side of King County, the epicenter of this thing in the US is interesting. Traffic on the freeways is lighter than usual. Our local Costco was temporarily stripped bare by people hoarding supplies. My wife, a retired nurse spent her entire hour at the beauty salon trying to calm people who were full of hysterical misinformation.
The Life Care Center in Kirkland which we have visited dozens of times in the last few years is of course completely devastated. One employee and a growing number of patients there are dead, more are seriously ill. My guess would be that Forrest Preston, the owner will be dropping that place like a hot potato at the earliest possible date. Although I would have to say that it has always been one of the better places that we have visited on a regular basis.
The good news is that the vast majority of US citizens infected still are comprised of people somehow associated with the Life Care Center and the cruise ship. To me that says that this thing does not spread as easily as we have been led to believe. It will be interesting to eventually find out who brought the infection to the Life Care Center. Was it a sick patient or was it an employee?
10th bookmark. Thanks for the threads.
Check your You Tube settings. I had no issue watching.
I was able to order SEVERAL, large (pump style) hand sanitizer bottles, for the office and home....online.
We’ll use these to refill our smaller ones.
After that runs out, we’ll make our own...w/alcohol or everclear.
I also have several HUGE aloe plants, if I need that, for hand sanitizer.
There is a recipe on Fr for making your own using: 60% ethyl alcohol, aloe, and coconut oil. Also Hydrogen peroxide works but take longer.
Does anyone know how plain vinegar or apple cider vinegar fare in killing viruses?
According to the WHO, the estimated mortality rate of COVID-19 is 3.4%, but others put it at 1.9-2.6%; actual mortality rate of influenza in the US this flu season: 6.9%.
Sweden and S. Africa reported first cases.
Bump!
I have no settings to check. Not associated with it
Has anyone looked into colloidal silver in the event they happen to contract it...?
I don’t disagree with the facts of your post at all. All of the statements are true, or at least appear to be true.
My only response is that it is very, very early in the process.
On a time line we appear to be about equal to early December in China.
There are a lot of reasons why I don’t think we will see a Wuhan or Korea-type outbreak:
—We have been warned. Everyone has heard about it now.
—We are more spread out. Even in our cities there is more “personal space” here in the US.
—We live more spread out than in China. Our homes, outside the urban areas, are more spread out.
We live in a different environment. Plus we do not smoke at the rate of others.
We need to keep an eye on the numbers. The test kits are just getting out. It will be a few weeks before we can start doing “apples to apples.”
I hope its not in Nashville. Those folks have their hands full.
......”That brought home to me ‘the financial burden’ of this thing and it will be interesting to see how people end up planning for this”.....
The various International Leaders and Financial Institutes here and around the world have all been holding meetings on curtailing the financial impact.....so should households.
Netherlands is so densely populated.
Makes transmission all the easier.
