Hand sanitizer is sold out at multiple locations in Dallas and on Amazon. Pretty much everywhere at this point seems like.

But none in the US, including the first 15, have died. Those are even more reliable numbers than those from South Korea.

---

But not near as spectacular as the the fantasized SK numbers. Also, if all those that have died in the small sample in SK are over 70; then even 25% of that small sample would not be alarming. This virus is killing the very old and infirm. If you are under 70; there is about as much chance of having an issue with this as with driving to work.

useless.

I think for a few weeks if this spreads here, it isn't a bad thing to keep handy. I mean I have some in my purse, my backpack, and my car.

Thanks!

Has the school contacted CDC, the SA mayor, etc.? I would suggest doing that.

Why do people keep saying hand sanitizer is useless... I'm sure it's not quite as effective as dunking your hands in boiling soapy water for 60 seconds but from what I understand it still kills viruses.

Wow. Thanks!

What's going on with that cruise ship? I don't think I've heard an update on it in a few days

Hand sanitizer is less effective than a 5 second hand rub with just water. It is that useless.

Again,

Can anyone speak to divergence in these graphs?

What would you like me to tell divergence?

That is pretty funny

CDC has not updated their testing statistics today. The total still stands at 445.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-in-us.html

Yesterday it was updated by mid-afternoon.

Bad news? Or waiting for Pence to clear the update?

CDC has been a failure. Woman had the virus for 7 days in California but the CDC did not test because "she had not been to china". So guess what? None of the doctors or nurses that have been caring for her have taking ANY precautions.....

WE are just like China. Trying to prevent panic by slow rolling the data or just pure incompetence? Or both?

Do you have a link? Is that for soiled hands or mostly clean hands? This just seems counter intuitive.

I've said this before: There are many times when you want to wash your hands and no water and soap are available.

The CDC/FDA testing snafu is extremely frustrating, but according to the press release the medical team at UC Davis appears to have followed approriate PPE protocol (once the patient was received from the other hospital) to mitigate the risk of transmission.

Thanks.

Good

Why is this the responsibility of the CDC? I would think the primary care Dr would be the one to determine what, if any, tests to run?

Soap doesn't kill germs, it just makes you extra slippery and the germs roll off with the water.

Makes sense that using just water, which is already slippery and is running over your hands, would do better than rubbing a small dollop of hand sanitizer over your hands.

With sanitizer, most people don't use very much, and it's not strong enough, plus it just dries on your hands, you aren't actually removing any germs from your hands; rather, just hoping to kill them.

How many cases has Italy exported? Time to stop flights yet?

I want to know, on average, how many people would likely eventually be infected from one person with Corona Virus flying coach? You come into direct contact with the food/bev cart people, who come into direct contact with probably 3/4 of the plain. Not looking good for the people directly next to you. I prob won't be flying for a while...

---

Transmission of airborne diseases on commercial aircraft has been shown to be very low due to the air circulation system's HEPA filters. This has been true for the flu, SARS, MERS, etc.

---

Im not worried about spread on the flight itself. But bringing in new potential carriers into the country from countries know to have an active outbreak.

---

1 new case in Lebanon: a woman who had returned last week from Iran on the same flight as the first case

No. 256 so far for FRIDAY. Expect it to be at least 600 tomorrow, probably more. We will know their Friday total by 11a or so.
