From what I have seen and read, hygiene in the US is better than it is in China. We typically use soap and at least have the ability to wash our hands regularly.
What are they going to do if the test results are positive? Force everyone to stay on the ship until 2 weeks after the last case is cured?mathguy86 said:
Italian port authorities are not allowing a cruise ship to dock in Italy. There are two sick passengers from HK. 6000 are stuck with them on the floating viral incubator while they wait for test results.
wtf is "ethnic psychopathy"?Nuclear Scramjet said:DallasAg 94 said:When it comes to cuisine... Americans eat some pretty nasty stuff.MouthBQ98 said:
China needs to implement widespread cultural changes regarding hygiene,cuisine, and medicine or it will remain a constant threat as a vector for pandemics
Tilapia is pretty bad and if you've seen Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" on it... you'd never eat it again. They farm it near sewage treatment facilities where they eat the solids from the sewage - Poop.
And yet, Americans gobble that stuff up like it is a delicacy.
Crawfish, catfish, lobsters are the rats of the water.
People eat squirrels... and back in the 90s, Louisiana was trying to trick people into eating Nutria, like we eat crawfish.
Hindus are shocked we eat beef.
Most importantly, if you've ever raised chickens... you might find eating chicken a little more disgusting.
What China needs is less communism and more freedom and capitalism. The problem they have is trying to decentralize their huge cities.
Yeah but we don't eat them live or boil them alive outside of crustaceans. The Chinese do this because "the torture makes them taste better."
The videos of this are horrific and the level of inhuman and ethnic psychopathy is off the charts.
I don't care what we eat, we don't do this.
Washing ones hands in some public bathrooms is itself high risk and does nothing because you need hot water and like 90 seconds to remove germs and nobody does that.Signel said:No... there are plenty of dirty ass Americans that don't wash their hands.

Thanks so much for sharing the PDF that is actually pretty helpful and interesting!scottimus said:
Talked to my expert again about some of the discussions here.
Internet rumors/speculation is this virus came from the Level 4 Biolab in Wuhan. A doctor there published a paper identifying traits associated with Asians at much higher risk due to ACE2 cells that this virus targets. Terrific story, I know.Quote:
lmao
The rumors are ridiculous
What do you think about this tweet?Quote:
Mariet is an actual scientist
She is just retweeting numbers she has gotten from other people
The numbers aren't terrible probably off a bit, but not as bad as those people say the R0 is above 3
Incubation is shorter though more like 3 days
The R0 may end up below 2, but the way things have been handled in China so far, it will be slightly higher for a whileQuote:
They messed up and didn't allow the US CDC in
Now the US CDC is going in with the WHO
Should start to improve
Case numbers are too high to have enough supplies, personnel, facilities for now, but that problem is only in China
The source is >90% likelihood bats, based on the fact that the genome sequence fits, the organism fits, bats have similar sequences in their viruses, Wuhan is a major market for bats (it is a popular soup there) and the bats were abundant in the market
The rest of the stuff is just bs
The BL4 wasn't even active
China doesn't use most of the facilities they have they haven't had the expertise
Humor me and let's say this is engineered. Are scientist, such as yourself, able to identify the engineered RNA genomes easily?...the story was the scientist took Corona from bats and added the ACE2 aspect.Quote:
Haha absolutely impossible you don't understand this virus is difficult to work with it is not possible
The technology doesn't exist
I told you, Julian works on these he has for like 40 years still couldn't do this
People saying this stuff just don't understand how this stuff works
I already told you, we know where this came from we have facts, no fiction
We aren't guessing
It is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was a single animal-human transfer
That is 99.9% certain
70% certain is enough for a court of law
Sorry scientists don't normally work in absolutes, but this is just silly
Oh I certainly don't know the tech. What about CRISPR editing? Any possibility there?Quote:
Haha come on
This stuff is very complicated and is exactly what I do
The answer is that it is not possible I know all of the technologies, everything
Slightly different question. Let's say it hits here, Houston. How would you treat pneumonia at home without medical professionals?Quote:
It is treated pretty much the same as flu
In most cases, they need major antivirals and respiratory support
Can't do that at home
The patient would likely die
I saw the clinical strategy today, let me see if I can find it
Sent me a pdf he just got from WHO. https://www.who.int/publications-detail/clinical-management-of-severe-acute-respiratory-infection-when-novel-coronavirus-(ncov)-infection-is-suspected
Forsynthia? What about for the rest of us?yukmonkey said:
Forsynthia
I think they only way they internally were OK declaring the emergency was to add that disclaimer...as well as saying there is no reason to curtail travel or trade with the infected areas.gonemaroon said:
What basis did the WHO have today to say it's not a worry? I don't get how they know that right now?

Forsythia is nice in the spring. Grows everywhere at our place in NE Pennsylvania, so we're good.
