    Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.

    Here is a good site to understand how social distancing is the correct course.

    It's all about flattening the curve.



    Here's one with video examples. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...ource=facebook

    My wife is a nurse and this is the stuff they are being taught about. She works in a nursing home so I worry a bit that she will get it and give it to me and our daughter. But what can you do? She can't just stay home. But they are taking very rigorous safety measures. Everyone who enters the facility has to have their temp take, and they have to wash their hands.

      I'm happy not all young people are this way, she was put on blast:

      Why??? Young people are not the high risk category. On reality. The at risk people should be quarantined. Bc more people survive it than don’t so if those at risk are separated teh death rare will be low. Business can remain open and the economy will flow. The flu kills more

        Do they have plenty of masks for your wife and her fellow employees?

          The simulation videos in that one link seem to indicate that once fully recovered, you can't get ill again.

          Is that true? Is that a matter of your body building up the proper immune system to fight it the next time should you beat it the first time?

          That's something I never really new about illnesses. Assuming the same viral strand, can sick people be with other sick people and maintain a course of recovery / not worsen over that duration as a result?

              My grandma is in a nursing home that is on lockdown, no visitors.

              The nursing home she is at even had masks for visitors.

              I spoke to a former nurse in a nursing home and she said you were given two options, either get the flu shot or wear a mask.

              Of course, the current flu shots don't cover CV, and I did see a nurse a few weeks ago with a mask on.

                Nope. They are unable to get them. Even our Hospital here, which is affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic barely have any.

                I should clarify, they aren't able to get the N95 masks. They do have some regular ones.

                  Not enough is known yet about this virus. I was just watching Dr. Gupta on CNN about how some other coronaviruses that cause common cold provide immunity for about 9 months after recovery. On the other hand, SARS (which is also derived from a coronavirus) yields much more prolonged immunity (a few years). The period of immunity depends on the specific virus and the specific immune response your body comes up with.

                  It could be a case where there'll be a need for a seasonal vaccine or administering a vaccine every XX number of years.

                  Generally speaking, if you were to get sick soon and recover, then you'd most likely be fine at least until this specific outbreak is done with. Assuming that it ever is...

                    Yeah, thanks for clarifying, I meant the regular mask in my post.

                      I’m surprised The lack of N 95 maskS isn’t Made a bigger deal. I assume these are the Cadillac of masks

                        And I seriously doubt some Asian guy is buying them all. A group of different people of different backgrounds probably bought them all.
                        You can doubt it all you want. I'm just repeating what I was told.

                        In other news The state of Maine has gone from 5 confirmed positive cases to 17 confirmed positive cases in 5 days. People are not listening.

                          Philippines now under a state of calamity. This means emergency funds can be used to help the people.

                          Military is out blocking people from transferring city to city within metro Manila. I feel real bad for so many people here where they need to work everyday so they can feed themselves and their family. No public transit either so a lot of Filipinos are stuck not knowing what to do. There’s even workers who are sleeping at their work because they can’t transfer home.

                          Already donating food and figuring out how we can help.

                          Everything is closed from what I can see except for the Chinese restaurant across my house which owned by someone in the neighboring condo and fast food spots are delivering.

                            The Kentucky Derby has been postponed until Saturday of Labor Day Weekend.

                            Thunder over Louisville (nations largest fireworks show and Derby festival event) has been postponed until August.

                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                              The Louisiana Derby, part of a distinguished card of 12 races, is still on at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans but without spectators. It is one of the major prep races for the Kentucky Derby.

                                State of emergency now declared in Ontario. Schools were already closed for 3 weeks, now they're closing restaurants(delivery/drive through still open), movie theaters and other things.

                                And for the sports teams, they're allowing the playere to fly back home.
