Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV/COVID-19)

The only way to get infected is if you introduce it into your body via touching your face, or if you are so close to someone that has it such that their cough/spit particles enter a mucus membrane (mouth, nose, eyes). Like other viruses, it needs a host to live and doesn't stay alive on surfaces for very long at all. Even if it's on your hands, you aren't going to get sick unless you bring it onto your face or something.

The scientist who was recently awarded the government funding to study the virus' effect on Canada said you have a greater chance of dying in a car crash on the way to the airport than contracting this on a plane.

It spreads just like any other flu like virus, and can also be prevented by the same precautions people should be taking during the normal flu season. The problem (IMO anyway) is that nobody listens - you have people bringing their obviously sick kids to daycare (honestly fuck those people), you have people in South Korea told to quarantine but sneaking out to their mega churches anyway. You have people coming into emergency rooms without a mask showing symptoms after being told to stay home, etc. If people just followed extremely basic instructions, I don't think this would be nearly as big of a deal as it is, but obviously that will never happen so here we are haha.

Dude. I get that you want to stand your ground, but some of your information is old.

His public address looks odd last night, even for Trump.

If Trump is out and Pence has been deep in this and infested too, Polosi will be running US soon?

Oh how the turn tables.

What info is old? Strategies for protecting yourself from viruses like this one are important to understand and don't change with time and the rest was clearly stated as my personal opinion.

Trump's old, he might actually die.

Trump is a well known gemophobe, he probably has a higher than average chance of not getting it haha. But yeah, so many guys in US politics are in their 70's and presumably shake a lot of hands, not a good combo.

So we should stop wearing seat belts when we're traveling to the airport?

Thanks for that. Amazing seeing how it suddenly seemed to stop spreading in China....almost like Dean Koontz wrote

Japan/ Hong Kong/ Singapore handled this amazingly

Haha only if you want to increase those chances in the wrong direction I suppose.

Poor COnnor McDaVID. (Not mine. Saw this on twitter)

[gwill]

once again we have posters down playing everything like things are perfectly normal with nothing to worry about. Wash your hands and all is good. LOL.

Are they delusional or just plain stupid? You have to wonder about people that are hell bent on down playing the issues as though theres nothing to be concerned about.

[nzwasp]

So how do the playoffs work then or are there no playoffs, no winner this year?

Did my first elbow bump today with a heart doctor. He thinks I should get my MIL tested yet when I call 811 its number not found tone.

Edit: Thing is if shes positive, then how far would the self quarantine go, my immediate family would, would the school, the daycare, my and my wives work, in the last week we had hotpot too.

Right? He's under the belief that he knows everything there is to know about this yet you see the world reacting the way it has and all this guy has to say is "don't panic guys just wash your hands"

It's always some random scientist while the top people around the world are saying the opposite. In the meantime, economies are collapsing, borders are closing and people are dying.

Elbow bump is a no-go for me. Brings me within the 1m danger zone.

No. Some say Japan is hiding some number by not testing or fail to have enough test kits much like US.

South Korea has ran 210k test already and Japan is only 1/10 at 21k for a country with only 1/3 of Japan's population.

HK, I am not sure if they are handling it right or just get lucky. Macau's numbers are fake since they want to reopen the casinos since it's they only revenue stream for gov there.

Singapore I know nothing about. But they are seems to be universally praised.

In the meantime, Hubei and China is getting back into business while the rest of the world is freaking out.

I think most Chinese has accepted it. If you die, you die.

Confirmation bias is a real thing. There's always a few top experts that don't agree with 97% of the other experts and they are easy to find their words when you want to try and prove your point.

I mean it is postponed, so i still hold hope that hockey is not entirely done and that they will finish the playoffs at a later date.

I wonder at what point the delusional people who think theres nothing to be worried about get a little concerned. It's almost as tho some people dont see the many issues other then getting sick that will play out over the next 12 months or longer.

NHL asked Arenas for their July schedule. Hopefully it comes back for at least the playoffs.
