Trump administration asks for at least $2.5 billion to fight Coronavirushttps://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/484441-white-house-asking-congress-for-25-billion-to-fight-coronavirus
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
So ConEx in Vegas is coming up. Largest North American convention. Thinking maybe I shouldn’t go now.
MUDishMy travel, and my clients, is focused on Asia and our clients are on complete holding pattern. A large client was to be exhibiting at a large trade show in Germany next week and they were told today that show was cancelled until next February. This came roughy 7-10 days prior to show opening day.I have traveled domestically and would travel to Asia if needed and able to do so. That said, my livelihood is largely based off of doing things other smarter people prefer not to do.IMO, this is not a media frenzied event. While I know little about the science nature of the virus, I have never experienced this type of response to an event in my career. Stated weeks ago that China brass ever had the greatest overreaction ever or there is more to the story.
My mom's a nurse injector in Scottsdale and has been put on back order for their next order of masks for the OR. Just saying the panic is hittingEdit: at the grocery store now and there is a ton of rows of van goods gone. People even stocking up like it's Y2K
i instructed my office to stock up on masks 2-3 weeks ago. i thought i was being proactive and the smartest kid on the block...i hope we got enough!!
Hards The only mask.
What really bugs me about all this is that this "being on the precipice of the early stages of the verge of panic" seems completely unnecessary.Then again, even if CBP/CDC had acted proactively a month ago (when I first asked the question), would the situation be any better?Nevertheless, all of this seems like it's now becoming a media darling, which means more sensationalism and fewer facts. For one, initially I had feared transmission by the asymptomatic, which I was led to believe was synonymous with "pre-symptomatic." Is this actually the case, or are there people who could be infected that will never develop symptoms (i.e. their immune system will be sufficient on its own)? Unfortunately, it's hard to ascertain with the media and gov't so focused on ratings and campaigns.
N95?
I’m traveling in Fargo. Do I need to be worried?
Since the real danger is exposing 15,000 people in a stadium .. you could eliminate that, and just have the games played in front of empty stadiums. Billions on the line, might as well play the games.Now .. schools on the other hand .. they would need to close... In the end, I think the virus goes global and quarantines will be pointless. Not that I know anything, but my two kids were streptococcus carriers and infected my wife 6 times w/strep throat before we figured it out. Kids were healthy as could be .. they just carried it and infected her and probably others until we treated them. There are asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers:https://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-confirmed-patients-can-transmit-the-coronavirus-without-showing-symptoms
i think you may be referring to a "carrier" i.e. one can have hepatitis c without any signs/symptoms and still have the virus. my understanding of the coronavirus is that if you have it, it starts out with a mild fever and/or cold-like symptoms. right now, it has been fatal for 2% of those coming down with it. i have not heard, but i'm assuming it is most problematic with the very young, very old and those with compromised immune systems
Stay away from wood chippers and you’ll be fine.
Post of the decade.
Vigilance is obviously necessary, but I'm going to go on record as saying we will look back in 5 years on the Covid-19 virus hub bub as overblown and closer to SARs or Asian Birdflu than some global death pandemic.
