And how effective are these masks?

Do the viruses survive on masks that are later touched by the hands?

I have no clue.

Just wondering :)

[RummyChick]

I feel for these people but quarantine is quarantine.

There is no way to bring them here and assure the safety of everyone involved unless you put them in those weird boxes you see them using in China that they wheel suspected people in..and that isn’t feasible for transporting massive numbers of people.

DM has article up about kids from the area in china that are now in the UK partying. Will be interesting to see what develops in a few weeks

Government scare propaganda. Full overdrive.

Ignore

[CondorFlight]

Confusing. Another plane from Wuhan -- evidently cargo -- is said to have landed in Alaska:

Yes. An N 95 mask needs to be fit to the individual and fit tested under various conditions. In addition there is a specific way they have to be put on and removed. Men with facial hair cannot use them they won’t get a proper seal. Without good fit and instruction in use you are wasting your money. A good test for removing masks and gowns appropriately is to put chocolate sauce on them. after removing them you should have no chocolate sauce on you . Harder than it sounds.....

And they went backwards in time. Left at 5 this morning, got in at 9 last night.

Any word on Hong Kong Phluey's condition?

[dp0622]

That’s WAY too much work for me.

I’d rather just duck society until it passes :)

Quarantine those1000 Americans in Midway military base for 2 weeks .

The Wealthy Chinese are flooding this country and soon our ERs and hospitals further spreading this virus . Stop this weak response . Trump will be blamed .

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Same to y'all! 👍😊

“The Wealthy Chinese are flooding this country and soon our ERs and hospitals further spreading this virus .”

As we both know, they have been flooding the west coast from San Diego to Vancover, Canada for years. They have bought big homes with a lot of bedroom and floor space for rollaway beds.

I had not thought about their early invasions, re buying homes up and down the west coast.

[Grampa Dave]

Often, you can set your watches re the ETA’s of these flights. Occasionally, severe weather will alter ETAs and departure times/

I don’t think we know for sure yet. As of the morning the CDC was saying transmissibility is not yet full understood. The masks can’t hurt, I guess, unless they give wearers a false sense of security.

[Drago]

The flight landed....the CDC has a “Quarantine Station” at SFO...let’s hope it works.

So true .
Great point . Yes , these wealthy Chinese let these places stay empty because
they knew a disaster was coming one day and now will be
using these places to send the entire extended family here and flood our healthcare system and crash it .
I see no one stopping them .
To many American politicians are owned by Chinese interest such as China Mitch .

[ncalburt]

They let these exposed people onto the US main land .Are they crazy ?
I am going there now .
Where is the WH ?
Trump will be blamed by the media for any deaths .
The WH needs to stop this insanity .
The Chinese Dictator admitted they have lost control .

[Grampa Dave]

I had not thought about this type of emergency disaster to why so many of the ChiCom homes are empty on the west coast.

We thought that they were kept empty to receive political refugees from Hong Kong, ????? and main land China.
