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 :)
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.

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 wont 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.
That’s WAY too much work for me.
I’d rather just duck society until it passes :)
Nice to know we have good border checks and Airport screening in the sexes in this country
Android having a brain aneurysm during that last one
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 .
“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.
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.
The flight landed....the CDC has a “Quarantine Station” at SFO...let’s hope it works.

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.
