New SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 Thread
" You're amortizing influenza deaths over a year and use 1 day stats for Cornoa. Corona only has 22 deaths a day this year amortizing. Git R Dun!

" ... My housekeeper told me that I could keep from being infected by Covid 19 if I shoved a hairdryer up my nose and turned it on because "heat kills it." She read it on Facebook... Drinking hot water isn't going to do squat. I suppose if you want to inflame your esophagus, go for it. "Feel the burn." :) If you get enough of it in your gut you'll get the squirts for awhile. BUT, yes, swallowing "could" help. Which yields "drinking something" could help. So, that's not completely overboard IMO. (I am not a physician.) But, did you know that you aspirate your own spit when you sleep? Well, at least pretty frequently. Everyone does it. We breath it in, snore, cough, whatever.. Droplets of it get airborne and down they go! It's a primary route straight to the lungs. Grats us? If you want to so something proactive, there, then making sure your toothbrush is clean is a good thing. (Don't keep your toothbrush near the toilet. It'll collect all sorts of interesting things that come out of your butt. :) Ecoli deposits on toothbrushes are LEGENDARY. And, Covid-19 can be viable and survive for quite a long time in feces.) Brush your teeth, wash your face, blow your nose (Just not too hardly. You don't want to force snot into places it shouldn't be going.) and just practice some decent hygiene. Wash your pillowcases a bit more frequently, too. Might help... might not. But, at least it's got some reasonable reasons why doing it is sensible. PS: I'm mixed on "mouthwash." Saliva has some pretty tough mechanisms in it for keeping the biome relatively healthy. For anti-bacterial performance, mouthwash might help... maybe? For anti-viral, I'm not so sure. Swish with it, don't gargle and thus irritate the back of your throat. Dunno, really. | |

" I agree we need more testing and abbot just released news of a 5 min test https://twitter.com/AbbottNews/status/1243680163054915584 I think you never shut down your economy for anything. Even if someone drops 10 nukes on your largest cities. Because more people will die of starvation, suicide and other malignancies like strokes and heart attacks when hospitals shut down with no tax base. Git R Dun!

When all of the hospital beds are taken up with Covid-19 patients, people will be dying at home and in the streets of many different things.
Flattening the curve is the answer to keeping cases at a manageable level. In the US, it's too late for that now anyway. As you were. Any signature worth using is against the rules. Therefore, no signature will be found here.

The WHO just released this on facebook about 1hr ago.
C-19 is not Airborne. So someone sneezing on you or coughing on you can spread it. But not someone talking or breathing. (assuming the person isnt a talker who spits alot) Which means plastic visors and masks will protect almost everyone from it. And not wiping your mouth, picking your nose or rubbing your eyes with dirty hands. Very good news for sure. Last edited by HamsterRebellion on Mar 28, 2020, 9:50:28 PM

" According to CDC a light concentration of bleach kills it in >1 min. I soak our toothbrushs in this bleach. I wipe all door handles and light switches off in this bleach. I wipe my steering wheel and stick shift off with bleah as I am fortunate to still go to work/shopping. Git R Dun!

@ Hamster - Not seeing it on the Canada.ca site yet. Hopefully they can confirm it (Facebook is GRU influenced)

What's amazing is people are eating drive through. Kitchens are notorious for not being fastidious abt hygiene. I have a problem in normal times with eating out let alone when flu or a pandemic is running around. Don't eat take out drive through. Follow CDC hygiene guidelines on food prep/cleanness and we'll be fine.
