So Gaetz is in self quarantine.
He was on AF1 with Trump and shared a limo with Trump.
 
Once again we have seen a repeat of Wuhan in Italy and Iran. This is NOT the flu. It is much more severe.

20% of patients who contracted the virus will require hospitalization. Hospitals will be overwhelmed if we do not take containment and mitigation measures. When healthcare system collapses, death rate will spike exponentially. That is not taking into account that patients with other conditions will not be able to access essential health services, leading to a hidden wave of deaths.

Italy is a bit funny compared to other countries in Europe in that a lot of people live with their parents WELL into adulthood, sometimes until the kids themselves can be called senior citizens. Here in Norway, on the other hand, people move out when they're 18-19, and after that most of them only see their parents sporadically, heh. So young people here who catch the virus are not suddenly going to infect all the old folks. But in Italy, every young person who gets it will probably have passed it on to both their parents and grandparents before the evening is over, and I would guess that's why so many old people are dying there now. (Consider this an uneducated guess, though - I have no actual numbers to back this up with, only my impressions of the country, direct and indirect.)

It’s a good hypothesis. Even if they don’t live with them they often will live right next door. And besides that, they are still a very family oriented country so they get together a lot. And I’d guess they hug, kiss, and shake hands at least 80% more than most other people.

I think we can stop talking about containment, that ship has seemingly sailed. Wholeheartedly agree with everything else

A friend of mine posted pictures of her proposal in Italy last week. :confused:
 
Finally got into my county. Someone who had traveled to an infected area and then came back (no real screening of course). The county said they arent cancelling events or anything, just go about your day as normal but wash your hands alot.
<YeahOKJen>
 
Shit is getting real...

I believe the virus effectiveness is being blown out of proportion but the fear and panic is real.

Governments are going to use this to lock everyone down, vaccinate everyone, put a computer chip in them..

Now I'm hearing once you get the virus, you will be a carrier for life.. And like the man says, there will be the infected and the non infected..

Italian greetings are also very touchy from a cultural perspective like using saliva over each others face with the kiss-hello so this may be part of the rapid spread.

Sadly the stupid will deliver this to the masses on a platter.
 
China caused this problem we should have them pay for this mess. The world needs to denounce China

Ok can we not just say what we are hearing without posting credible links. Not saying you’re wrong but we are seeing so much speculation it’s getting hard to process it all.
 
This is big time true for me. I never realized how often I touch my face.

I know it's hard to ignore the dumb non-contributing posts from those who obviously haven't read a single thing from Page 1, but this thread would be much cleaner and consistently stays on track if everyone simply learn to use that report button instead of responding to them.
