Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

[EMPIRETECANDY]

First 2 cases showed up here yesterday in Saratoga County N.Y. They traced both of them to a conference they attended in another state, both have mild symptoms and are home, They did not say what strain of the virus they had but either is no good, If I would to have a Corona, it would be a Corona Lite, with Orange. Going to do shopping Now, we will see how wally world is stocked.

@6:30am Everything full stock except: Hand sanitizers and cleaning wipes.

In China only masks can't be bought at the worst time ,but other product no one keep too much of them. Those are not sell with cheaper price, the shops are happy, they can sell everything easily with good price. Keep calm! I told memebers weeks ago, jut buy some necessaries as earlier as possible because China totally freezed. US buy lots of product made in China.
Can find some good way to design a shopping system for the local community, people order everything on the app and you deliver them to their door, maybe a good business.
In China, we can book on the app, everything can be delivered in 30mins.

Since the masks are all essentially sold out at this time, this video shows how to make one. Not 100% perfect, but at least provides some form of protection one way or the other. People in China and India wear masks all the time due to pollution in densely-populated areas. This video isn't all about the virus. You'd be surprised how many people are not aware of their own respiratory systems. The people that are more susceptible are the ones that don't quite often interact with others face-to-face in reality. Immune system adapts as you go about your daily lives, from public areas to interacting with people.

I don't think he wanted to spare any more chances; this applies to other issues as well

That will be in the all time Classics of SNL

It's funny you posted that "Watch Those Hands" piece. Last night while watching the local news, Philly version, they cut back from commercial a little early and the anchor was scratching his nose on camera. This just after doing a COVID report saying not to touch your face among other things.

 

[Arjun]

It’s human nature, I’m a little more conscientious now. Lately, I’ve been placing my hand on my submental area, but every now then I’ll still be touching my face, lol

 

[sebastiantombs]

I try, hard, to stay away from the eyes, nose and mouth but it's really hard to break lifetime habits that are human nature related.

I'm Not a fan of Cuomo either...

Cuomo's middle-of-the-night gun legislation without public debate pissed me off big-time. Although I'm a gun owner I have no problem with reasonable gun control, but that was fascist bullshit IMO. Renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge after his father was another...and more recently his new license plate design vote scam was yet another.

I Agree, Although growing up on a farm, we always had firearms at our disposal, I also have a permit but never got into the tricked out stuff and collecting every type of firearm and mag capacity I could get my hands on, I have friends and neighbors who did collect for a hobby and were turned into criminals overnight because of their hobby. That right was taken away from them..."POOF" and all the years and $$$ they spent on their collection. Have you ever seen the stats of how many New Yorkers actually registered and or turned in their now banned weapons. And they need a special team of researchers to try to figure why people are leaving this state, what a joke.

The comments on YouTube make me laugh to the core, LOL

...

wow....

"George Stephanopoulos interviews Dr. Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, for the latest on the Trump administration’s response to novel coronavirus. "

George Stephanopoulos really pushed hard on those questions... I'd hate to be in Dr. Ben Carson's seat.

You can easily see that Dr. Ben Carson did not want to break any "chain of command" ... seen this enough at work...

Testing kits are rapidly being dispersed, but all cannot be delivered to just one hospital setting. They're trying to make more testing kits, clearly in short-supply

In our area the Health Department does the testing not the hospital, urgent care centers or primary care doctors. The Health Department requires a negative flu test before they'll test someone for Covid-19.

Dow futures open 1000 pts down and crude oil is down 20% thanks to a pissing match between the Saudis and Russia. Cheap gas on the way, but with the Corona virus due to breakout in the US this week, nowhere to go!

 

[Q™]

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo held a press conference at Northwell Health Labs at the Center for Advanced Medicine in North New Hyde Park early Sunday, updating the public on the overnight jump in the number of cases in New York, and on the lag in federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) authorization of laboratories that has stymied testing in the state. Mr. Cuomo said the 150,000-square-foot lab where he held the press conference is “the most sophisticated lab in the State of New York and one of the most sophisticated labs in the United States.” He added that it was capable of automated testing, in which machines could handle 120 samples at a time. “The CDC has not authorized the use of this lab,” he said. “It’s just outrageous and ludicrous. CDC, wake up and let the states test. Let private labs test…. Not to be using this laboratory and other private labs around the state makes no sense whatsoever.”

 

[Arjun]

Why wouldn't CDC authorize use of this lab? That's absurd
I don't understand why the CDC wouldn't approve that lab.



On another note.







If someone tells you there is no need to wear a mask, give them a brief stare and move on

 

[bigredfish]

Probably regulatory requirements of some type that need to be processed... by the end of the week though, they may be approving Walmart for testing..
