I'm thinking most of the world is going to treat this as an extreme version of the flu... for better or worse

or much worse

Western Countries don't have the backbone to enforce the draconian quarantines like China is doing

Would you close the US between states? Now that"s EU. If it would be for Italy, they would close the borders entirely like in China. Treat the cause better! Is China much better without internal efforts?

Heavy measures can"t be taken without heavy problems.

I am just saying, Germany has 50 cases, the UK 20.
 
Did we get a definitive R-Naught from the CDC yet or is it guesstimated?

I have zero interest in hosting a v7, if a handful of shit posters are allowed to destroy v6 after we have already put so much time and effort into it. The same shit is just gonna happen again here.

Please return my posts back to v6, help us split the trash from v6 out to their own US politics-centric thread so those guys have a place to rant to their heart's content, and the regular contributors will resume where we left off in v6 on the subject of International Coronavirus Breaking News before it went to shit. Thank you.

Why don't you guys clarify then?

Arkain and others have made it clear that if you post anything that they view as negative towards Trump or the US that is Partisan and should not be reported. You can see in his OP list he does not want ANYTHING US reported for that reason despite the US arguably being the most important sector to watch right now.

The problem is not the reporting of the Trump or US stuff, positive or negative. It is the Trump zealots who want to shut any such posting down, and hope something like this can do it. They, the Trump fans, need to stand down and allow posting of US info, just like we do for every other country without jumping in and crying 'partisan', 'mean', 'etc'. I don't jump in and yell and complain when people post negative stuff about Canada and Trudeau. I want to see it, even if I do not agree.


I think a clarification is in order. Is reporting anything on the US that could be perceived as negative to Trump simply 'partisan' and thus does not belong, or is it good critical info that we should all get to see and discuss like we do with every other country?

Since the OP is ignoring (purposely) all things Trump related I want to copy and paste some key stuff from the prior thread into this one.
 
India only 3 cases. The heat in the continental European summer will hit this bloody plague! I expected more from Malaysia, only 25 cases and 22 are already healed. Kuala Lumpur these days has even more than India in terms of weather temperature.

WUHAN has winter/spring temperature these days.

I have a pretty broad definition of on topic. As long as it relates to the topic and you cite sources on claims I'm good. I just don't want the "it's just a flu" nonsense or team politics buffoonery.
 
Are there issues here that happen when threads get to certain sizes? I'm guessing that's the case with the remaking of threads after 1000 posts

So if those are the parameters anyone want to guess the number of the last thread made? I'm thinking triple digits if this keeps up.

Mega threads create server burdens so they get closed on or about 1000 posts. Previous one got closed early because it went off the rails.

Back to your regularly scheduled plague.
 
I'm starting to get a a little worried if I touch any thing with the virus on it can't see how I don't get it being a smoker.

I'm literally taking the cig out of the pack by the butt then putting the butt in my mouth. Might have to wash my hands before every smoke. Being 36 and never getting the flu I'm confident my immune system won't fail me

Italy is not taking this seriously, they don"t even respect the WHO recommendations. They don"t have capsules or most of the patients were transported without capsule.

One Romanian was seeking for help in Italy, reached a doctor in Udine, he was treated for flu (I bet they don"t even have kits, at least to cover some hundreds or thousands because it"s a big country). Even though Italy was in quarantine. Can you believe that? He drove to Romania, reached a hospital in a smaller town, and was diagnosed with coronavirus.

All the 3 confirmed Romanians were infected in Italy.

Jeez, be careful out there..

"BANGKOK — The Chinese woman hailed the cab and said she wanted to go to the hospital.

The Thai taxi driver got stuck in traffic because that’s what often happens in Bangkok. To pass the time, the woman took out her phone and, leaning forward, pointed out some tourist sites she might want to visit.

Then she sneezed, the spray showering the cabby’s face.

Mr. Thongsuk, who has fully recovered from the virus after 14 days in an isolation unit at a Bangkok hospital, has now gone back to work, only to discover that there is not much work to be done. About 60 percent of his customers, he said, had been Chinese visitors, but they’re not coming anymore because of the lockdown in China and Beijing’s prohibitions on Chinese group tours exiting the country"

My line of thinking is that the warm climate of Thailand would probably be beneficial in helping that man overcome the infection. But that should not give any of us reason not to take the suggested precautions. Prevention is better than treatment.

This is a short piece by an epidemiologist and microbiologist on how the virus might be affected by climate and seasons:

Will COVID-19 go away on its own in warmer weather? [Probably Not]

Going to go pick up some masks today, hopefully the lowes or home depot is completely cleared out. Last I heard 3 days ago 235 people here in oregon are being monitored for coronavirus. I'm sure the number is exponentially higher now. We do have a huge Asian population

I stocked up on masks and gloves working at a hospital. I'm set. Two fistfuls of bleach. Flamethrower. Mean attitude.
 
I’m very thankful for Sherdog this morning. Because of the breaking news I got here I moved my 401k weeks ago and saved thousands and thousand because of it. I also stocked up on masks a month ago and am thankful for that too.

Thanks as always, Sherbros!

I didn’t move a dime. 25 years out from being able to touch it and additional reinvestment should make up for it.

I like that even your AV is on topic here.
