Novel Coronavirus 2019

[tarheelsman71]

Seems every year or so there is a flavor of the week impending pandemic. This one bears close watching (according of a friend of mine...he is a former NBC guy and scientist now). He said this look alot like spanish flu. Pace of this pandemic has out paced information release. 2 days ago, the CDC strongly suggested that this coronavirus was not easily transmissible from human to human via respiratory. That is out the window, confirmed respiratory transmission. Arse covering is in full effect and “they” are saying that it mutated quickly and that is how it went human to human so quickly. Keep in mind that anything you hear is probably behind the pace of the actual virus. (old news).

I hate things I cant see trying to kill me. Just doesnt seem fair. :)

Yep, kinda like radiation, huh? <grin>

Another justification for sealing our borders, where many Chinese have been found illegally entering/attempting to enter the US.

[prc-104]

Good thought but if somehow I see an attempt to seal it will feel like a show and tell and nothing will change.

Cats out of the bag on this one. Not time to seal yourself off from humanity...yet...but I am not sure how they get in front of this one. 2-14 day incubation period so people could already have it and ... not know. and when they do start to feel bad they will think it is just the flu and goto a dr. Dr will treat for flu...which it looks like. Crazy fever later and you are a pile of compost. Seems there was a simulation done on this late last year, hosted by everyone's favorite Eugenic sponsor Billy Gates and his foundation. 65 million is the simulated outcome. Drop in the bucket unless it starts in the county next door. In the simulation it starts in a pig farm in Brazil, whereas this real pandemic started in an open air fish market that sells live critters in China.

All in, it made me pull out a tote marked NBC and inventory the n95 masks (that only filter 95% of the particles in the air) and israeli masks that are still affordable. I did a new search for updated "better" masks and saw that there have been some really good advances in NBC masks.

Seems to cover a large swath of possibilities and has a wide area of vision which if you have tried the israeli masks they give me a headache after a while.

Close the borders? Oh, no! We admit refugees from violence, income opportunities and a new category called “climate refugee.” Next—-disease refugee. We can’t keep people out just because their countrymen are sick. If you try to block their entry to the US you are disease-a-phobic. How dare you! I have a doctor visit on Monday. I’ll be coming home and locking the doors for a couple of months.

source of virus.... ??
down the road from the pig market

this story is believable..
hey, we ran tests on the critters... they are still walking around... let's sell them down at the market so we can get us some extra money to smoke juju.

Just got back from Shot Show, Las Vegas, don't tell me this LOL. I did make a point to give Asians a wide berth where I could LOL.

I heard it was essentially another SARS?

[prc-104]

Agree with above. Might not be anything but as said above, it's time to inventory.
40mm filters were good, so were the n100 and n95 masks but did add some more n95's for sharing with friends.

Is this a version of Georgia Guidestones design by China? Might solve their need for their
one child per family law?

From New York Post:

https://nypost.com/2020/01/26/coronavirus-whistleblower-nurse-says-china-has-90000-sick/

"The coronavirus now has a whistleblower — a nurse in Wuhan who insists in a shocking online video that close to 90,000 people in China have the disease, far more than the 1,975 reported by officials."

just FYI...

[tarheelsman71]

So shot show, IBS, and AEBN events all in Las Vegas. Have to think there might have been a lot of DNA fluids being exchanged out there with that many people in those events. I do IT in the Construction market so we had quite a few marketing yahoos out in Vegas that came back to work today. I might have to take my show on the road and work from home some this week. Dont want to catch Kung Flu! Surprised that China isnt telling the whole truth. They are usually so forthcoming. :(

[Lowdown3]

Yeah I just got back from Shot and did seem to pick up the flu there, hopefully not the Chinese version.

Hope you feel better soon and it is just the garden variety version. Watched a video of a person on a gurney convulsing and shaking like crazy and that AINT the way I want to go out.

[Patriotic Sheepdog]

LD3...hope you get better soon...drink fluids, take deep breaths to expand the lungs, and Tylenol/Advil for fevers....but you know all of that...so I am preaching to the choir....

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a travel ban imposed to keep Americans from going to China and bringing something nasty home to share...but business likely is the priority. Same with Mexico, for that matter. How many more murders will it take? Me, I just go to the grocery store and come home to mind my own business!
