I work in an essential store and come in contact with over a hundred people a day.
I take precautions, but do not get nuts about it.
99% of our customers agree with my position.
Now if I lived in some of those areas where it is growing big time, i would do things differently.


Starve the virus, not the economy.

I'm not fussing on you brother, I just Want you to be safe. You can always have any position on things you want. But please know, A positive attitude about this will only benefit you so much.

I still admit your stand, I wish I could feel that way. But, The coronavirus isn't a bully. It's not discriminating your feelings about it.

Be Safe, I've known you for years. I'm not trying to scare you, I just want you to be wise about this.

It's too late to spare the US from the conditions that we see today in Italy; the people who will be flooding our ICU's beyond capacity in two weeks have already been infected, they just don't know it yet.

People who think that the deaths per year from the flu are greater than this virus must've failed third-grade arithmetic, because this virus is obviously going to claim far more lives this year than any flu since the 1918 influenza epidemic.

The seasonal flu infects roughly 1 billion people per year and claims between 291,000 to 649,000 lives each year, giving:
- a case fatality rate less than .1%
- an infection prevalence of roughly 13%

The SARS-COV-2 virus on the other hand has:
- a case fatality rate probably in the 2.5% and 3.4% range (25 to 34 times higher than the flu)
- a projected infection prevalence of 50% to 70% of the global population

So we can expect this virus to infect 3.85 billion to 5.39 billion people and to claim 96,250,000 to 183,260,00 lives - more than 148-282 times worse than the most lethal year for a seasonal flu outbreak.

And that may be an overly optimistic projection because the developed world only has about 20% of the ventilators that we're going to need, so the case fatality rate could be higher than 5%.

I'd suggest that the US should ramp up ventilator production, but we exported our manufacturing sector to China and other eastern countries so we have almost no industrial sector left. Exporting our industry overseas was the greatest threat to our national security but our politicians didn't care because they're all bought, and now those chickens have come home to roost.

I'm forced to agree, we are on a runaway fast train to the dark side and with the unknown contagious and infected still conducting business as usual spreading the virus further, there are no precautions now that can stop the US from recording record setting deaths...The only way to slow this thing down is shutting down the entire country but our illustriously delusional President is more concerned with profit than American lives...

I tried one once, Nope. Maybe it's that I'm American, Maybe it's just a phobia, But things come out of the butt, things don't go in them, I'm sure the look on my face at the said time was meme-worthy though.

I don't frig myself clean with a lathered hand but as a rinse aid and at lukewarm warm with medium pressure it's like rinsing the sheriff badge under the tap. Things do go in butts shadow, cock and all sorts of paraphernalia. I think I told you of me and the carrot woman.

Thank you.
You be safe as well.
I do what is necessary. The biggest threat is money and the amount of hands it passes through and I handle thousands of dollars everyday.
We keep a supply of hand sanitizer at work and at each register.
My only travel is to work.

'Mummy's going away for a little while': 'Petrified' NHS worker tells how she told her asthmatic daughter, two, how she will not see her for THREE months as she joins medics leaving home to battle coronavirus

Chanice Cushion, who works at Southend Hospital in Essex, urged Brits to do all they can to minimise the spread of the coronavirus as she revealed she has moved away from her daughter, two. She posted the clip on Facebook yesterday and said that she had made the decision with her partner to protect their daughter and her vulnerable mother-in-law, who has chronic asthma. Describing how her daughter was 'going about her day as normal' as she packed to leave, Chanice welled up and explained how she told her 'mummy's going away for a little while'.

See, See, how is this not slavery? The woman is terrified and doesn't want to go, Yet she is forced to put her life on the line through tears she is this petrified. She has no choice but to go, or she will be disgraced by her peers, How is that Fair? How is that Freedom? How is that Just? Sure she had to go, But patriotism is a deadly thing,

Why is patriotism so deadly? because people die for it, all too often. By feeling a sense of responsibility. you don't see the Rich and greedy risking their life amidst this, it's only those people who can't afford not to work. sure that woman is some kind of hero. But, At the same time, It's probably not optional, It's probably go do this or lose your job.

Freedom is a lie :mad:

I've been reading about what China is doing right now, they are stockpiling supplies, including medical supplies needed to fight the virus...China is expecting another wave through its country at a moment's notice and they don't think this is going away anytime soon either...

Looks like a second wave is about to start in China...

Wuhan doctor tests positive for coronavirus after the city reported zero cases for five days in a row as leading doctor warns 'mission is not accomplished' for the former epicentre

Wuhan health officials are still trying to identify how the doctor contracted the infection, but they said they were not ruling out the possibility that the person had caught the bug at work.

Beijing's state newspaper warns a second coronavirus outbreak in China is 'INEVITABLE' due to people arriving from abroad

Loopholes in the health screening process and inadequate quarantine measures for people arriving from abroad are the main factors for the looming new crisis, according to Global Times.

How an Austrian ski resort helped coronavirus spread across Europe

Henrik Lerfeldt has fond memories of Kitzloch, a popular restaurant and bar in the Austrian ski resort town of Ischgl, where he partied several nights while on vacation three weeks ago.

The 56-year-old Dane, who spoke to CNN from self-quarantine at his home 50 miles from Copenhagen last week, said that his time in Kitzloch in the Austrian province of Tyrol was the way "after-ski" is supposed to be. "Lots of people, lots of drinks, and nice waiters happy to serve you more."

Four days after his return home, Lerfeldt tested positive for the coronavirus, or Covid-19, as did one of his friends he was traveling with. But they are just two among hundreds of people from all over Europe whose infections are traced back to Ischgl, some of them directly to Kitzloch, according to European authorities.

Kitzloch declined to comment when contacted by CNN for comment. Its owner, Bernhard Zangerl, told German news site t-online on March 16 that his employees must have also contracted the virus from someone, and the site reports Zangerl as saying it was audacious to try to pin this on one company.

Despite an official warning from the Icelandic government on March 4 that a group of its nationals had contracted coronavirus in Ischgl, Austrian authorities allowed ski tourism -- and the partying that goes with it -- to continue for another nine days before fully quarantining the resort on March 13.

London's tube trains had been nearly deserted about a week ago, but Transport for London and/or the Mayor's office decided in their wisdom to run a Sunday service throughout the week. Hence, much greater passenger density. They haven't rowed back from this decision, and are just blaming the passengers.

@Toroid be safe!...

LA braces for surge in coronavirus patients, San Francisco medical officials warn 'the worst is yet to come' and Governor Newsom demands 50,000 more hospital beds as California cases surge to more than 2,200 and death toll hits 43

In San Francisco, the first city in the US to go on lockdown, officials warn 'the worst is yet to come' and a surge in cases is expected in a week or two.

Despite the unfolding crisis, crowds of bold locals have continued to gather at public beaches and parks across the state in defiance of warnings to stay at home.

As of Tuesday in Los Angeles County there are 536 cases and eight deaths, in San Francisco there are 131 cases and no deaths, in Santa Clara there are 321 cases and 13 deaths related to the virus.

Statewide there are 2,220 confirmed cases and there have been 43 deaths.

WTF China?...

Man who died on a bus in China tests positive for deadly hantavirus that RATS spread to humans

A man who died on a bus in China has tested positive for a virus more fatal than Covid-19 that has very similar symptoms, state media reports.

The victim died on a vehicle in Shandong as he made his way to work and was found to be suffering from hantavirus. News of the death comes just as the country is lifting quarantines implemented to deal with the novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan. Yesterday the Global Times informed followers of the reason behind the worker's death on social media, tweeting: 'He was tested positive for #hantavirus. Other 32 people on bus were tested.'

The incident has sparked panic across China, with #hantavirus trending on social media.

Experts have reassured the public that this is not a new virus and is thought to only pass through humans in rare circumstances, unlike Covid-19, which has sparked a pandemic. Swedish scientist Dr Sumaiya Shaikh tweeted: 'The #Hantavirus first emerged in 1950s in the American-Korean war in Korea (Hantan river). 'It spreads from rat/mice if humans ingest their body fluids. Human-human transmission is rare. Please do not panic, unless you plan to eat rats.'

Although hantavirus is rare, it carries a 38 per cent death rate according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Jeeeesus, is there no end to their appetite.

The ancients were huge on canibalism and not because of poverty either. They say it was political what ever that could mean but a pound to a penny it was about power, potency, success or recovery.
