Who said that? When the flu spreads through my work or home I think many people can sick from the initial sick person.

I had a theory I shared with my wife yesterday, since the TP can filter to around 1 micron people can wrap themselves in TP from head to toe and filter out the virus. I bet that's exactly why the run on TP...........LOL As Paul Harvey used to say..........................."Now you know the rest of the story"!!!

No cases here as of now. There were two but one was sent to Atlanta to be closer to home and the other is back in Florida Both were visitors that contracted the virus in their home town. The only people I know that have it are Tom Hanks, the actor, and his wife. I think they are in Australia.
I can understand the run on sanitizer and disinfectant but why toilet paper?

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY mentions that the US population as a whole is getting older on average. That said; there Will be more risk factor and "possiblity " more folks getting sick from this.
On the Prevention side, I am betting 90 % of folks on this board are LOW ON VITAMIN D3. This is your BEST defence on flu and viruses aside from common sense activities. |

I don’t have it but I know people in self quarantine because of on-site support in affected countries.
I agree with the other posters that common sense and judgment are your best options. If you can, avoid any unnecessary travel or gatherings. Because of the lack of testing no one really knows how many people are infected. IMO, the concerning thing is the virulence and there are no vaccines, no cures, no remedies. Some people might have symptoms no worse than the common flu but other less fortunate, it becomes far more serious. You don’t know how your body (or people you care about) is going to react and how bad it’s going to be. If you slide into the most serious phase a ventilator is about as much as the medical community can offer. Apparently, for some if you survive, the damage can be life-long. Again, I don’t believe becoming panic-stricken is going to help but I wouldn’t brush it of as media hysteria either.

Our church just cancelled services for this Sunday. Considering the age of the congregation, it was probably a prudent measure.

Researchers are still working to determine the R0 for COVID-19. Preliminary studies have estimated an R0 value for the new coronavirus to be between 2 and 3, according to the JAMA review study published Feb. 28. This means each infected person has spread the virus to an average of 2 to 3 people. Quote:

Of course all this can change since so little is known about covid-19 but it is not your average flu.

Open borders, what a great concept. Oh, I forgot that would let carriers of contagious viruses/diseases enter the country too. Duh, who would have thought of that?

Lot of comparisons being made on social media comparing this to the flu. There is a documentary on Netflix now, kind of dry, but good, Pandemic. Pandemics are quite different from seasonal. Hospitals in Italy are maxed out for example. It is like a big wave vs little ones over time, it seems. Also, best good data on Corona infection vs fatalities is from Italy and S Korea. They have tested a lot, unlike here. Death rate on over 60 to over 80 apparently is higher (much) than seasonal flu. The biggest risk is infecting older people around you.
I encourage everyone to read, read be informed. Don't get info from fools like me on social media.

29% of the Italian population is over 60 years old; conversely, the mortality among Italians is going to be higher. Simple logic., people.

Thanks a lot. That's a big help to me. When the banks are paying 1 percent you have to put your money someplace else to try to make money. Not all of us are wealthy.

Take a look at the mortality rates by age group
This is old men's disease. Period.
The stats are all here: https://www.worldometers.info/corona...-demographics/ Here's the meaty stuff: Age of Coronavirus Deaths COVID-19 Fatality Rate by AGE: *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on the age group. The percentages shown below do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. Rather, it represents, for a person in a given age group, the risk of dying if infected with COVID-19. AGE DEATH RATE. .DEATH RATE confirmed cases. .all cases 80+ years old 21.9%. 14.8% 70-79 years old 8.0% 60-69 years old 3.6% 50-59 years old 1.3% 40-49 years old 0.4% 30-39 years old 0.2% 20-29 years old 0.2% 10-19 years old 0.2% 0-9 years old no fatalities *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by age group. In general, relatively few cases are seen among children. Sex ratio COVID-19 Fatality Rate by SEX: *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). This probability differs depending on sex. When reading these numbers, it must be taken into account that smoking in China is much more prevalent among males. Smoking increases the risks of respiratory complications. SEX DEATH RATE............... DEATH RATE confirmed cases................ all cases Male 4.7% 2.8% Female 2.8% 1.7% *Death Rate = (number of deaths / number of cases) = probability of dying if infected by the virus (%). The percentages do not have to add up to 100%, as they do NOT represent share of deaths by sex. Hold on tight - this is going to be a bumpy ride........ |

I work at the SSA-HQ in Woodlawn, MD and we were hoping an announcement would be made that everyone would be permitted to work from home for the next two weeks. No such announcement has come (yet), but they did announce mid-day Friday that they are allowing anyone who wants, to go back to working 2 days per week from home (we currently work 1 day per week from home). They are also making special compensations for those with school age children or children in day care to work from home for the next 2 weeks while public schools are closed.

Thanks, 10 seconds no prob.
Had to hold it nearly 1 minute twice for CT scans couple weeks ago. That wasn't so hard but when they injected the dye got internal burning sensation and nausea. Nearly puked. Nurse put a cold wet towel over my neck. What a relief that was.

I had that Korean info sent to me by an acquaintance the other day. Next day I was informed it was a hoax! Don't know what to think.
