Hey Tanya, Mizzou has its first case.

---

she has already re-lined her windows and doors with a homemade tofu paste and drawn a huge circle around her house using elderberry syrup, so there is no way the virus is getting in.

---

Tapioca flour

Tofu can attract bugs

---

If society collapses and gas/electricity shut down... Tanya is prepared. She has enough coupons to burn to last 20 years.

I also have a lot of jam, salsa, nut butters, and stuff to make brownies.

There seems to be a Super spreader event unfolding in Singapore. 1 case (case 94) subsequently infected 30 people at a dinner event (SAFRA Jurong cluster).

This stuff is crazy contagious

Life Care said a total of 26 residents have died since Feb. 19 at the acute care facility, which sees an average of three to seven deaths per month.

"In addition, of 180 employees who worked at Life Care on Feb. 19, 70 have symptoms of COVID-19 and are self-quarantined at home. "

Hopefully none of that staff works at other similar facilities.

One of my wife's friends attended CPAC and has since come down with cough and fever. This person never gets sick. She met with my wife at lunch on Thursday. We live in a place with no known cases. Really wanting her to get tested, and staying out of people's way in the mean time. Cough developed Friday, fever yesterday.

What happened to Padre Aggie?

Oh for ****s sake. (not satire)

https://www.doh.wa.gov/Newsroom/Articles/ID/1108/New-case-reporting-for-COVID-19-in-Washington-state


Tomorrow the Washington State Department of Health will begin reporting COVID-19 case numbers at a new time with new metrics. In a daily web update at 2 p.m., the department will provide statewide numbers for:

• Cases and deaths broken down by county
• Cases by age range (in 10-year increments)
• Cases by sex at birth
• Total number of patients tested (some patients may have multiple tests)

---

Was confused by this for last five minutes. Did not understand why they would be reporting newborns with COVID by sex since kids have largely not been impacted by this. Dramatic escalation here if kids are being born with it.

Then I realized this is Seattle. So, now I have to apply my crazy lens....they mean they are reporting cases by sex but based on your biological and not claimed sex?

Fascinating Sunday morning read - how soap works on viruses.

Is your wife showing signs or just her friend?

Corona has now hit my classes

My tutoring class was rescheduled for late April or early May

I was doing a college application essay writing course for a group of kids from a local church.

Now that we have had True/False and there is coronavirus in KC and STL, they want to wait.

I get it. But it sucks. This church is so involved in getting their kids in college. They fund raise to help these kids to get out of the cycle, so I do what I can to help.

Is this just whistling through the graveyard? Or do you not understand that this is different from the flu?

How is it different? I've read numerous articles on it and the behavior and results seem very similar.

Apparently this thread is completely inadequate. There are now 11 Coronavirus threads on the front page.

Get set up to do online tutoring and convince the church to keep with the same schedule.

Be flexible and roll with the punches.

Nothing wrong with that. This one was getting a little cumbersome. It's serve a purpose.



This story has all sorts of angles: Health, Financial, Political, Spiritual, etc.

Going forward, I think we should use this one as an overview thread focused on big picture Marco news and stories. File repository of the big headlines. Allow for other threads to develop for deep dive into the micro details/discussion.

Do you know anything about the really poor?

They don't have internet at home a lot of the time.

I will keep in contact with the church and set this up as soon as possible.

This is how we make real changes. We get these kids in schools that can blossom in.

These kids have people that believe in them.

I will do everything I freaking possibly can to get them in tech schools or colleges. They have support. Support is everything

It is different because it is literally different, not all viruses are the same. This is important as well as we have no immunities against this "novel" virus, and no vaccines. It also seems to be much less damaging to children but fairly serious to seniors.

Even more importantly we have a wealth of information on how the flu behaves, we know that around April, we won't have to worry about it. We have zero clue what CV will do. That's why everyone is freaking out.

Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

So the country that was ground zero for this is beginning to wind down. This country is ~20% of the world's population. All said and done it looks like they'll have less than 4,000 deaths all while having worse health and horrid healthcare compared to the rest of the developed nations.


.00000235294% of their population....Now, back to your next regularly scheduled apocalypse.

I didn't know you were teaching poor kids.....

Don't worry about the details. It's a church. People will pull together to help out.

If you put together a go fund me page asking for help to get these kids an internet connection, you'll get the help you need. If you post the link here, I'm sure most of us would chip in.

are there not novel influenzas routinely? I seem to recall a few years ago a bad flu that wasn't included in the flu shot??

Hmmm....didn't realize they came up with a vaccine and a cure.

If you believe their numbers, they only slowed the spread down to containable levels. Essentially they are back to square one.

There is still no natural immunity in the population. The virus can still make a come back.

Ground zero (metro area of 19M+ people) was under Marshall law (welding homes shut, forcibly taking people with fevers away) to keep it contained.

But, sure.

Why does everyone keep going on and on and on about believing their numbers but yet some use numbers from random journals or websites that know the other shooters in the Grassy Knoll? This thing is fading out and is not the global killer it's been propped up to be!! 4,000 people in a nation of 1.5 billion. The doom and gloom was over the top from the beginning and I've been saying it since I started posting on this thread.

How about the substandard healthcare in China? Or that over 50% of the male population smokes? Or that the sanitary/hygiene conditions in mainland China are atrocious?

Speaking of teaching kids, this is hilarious.
