Another freaking cruse ship.

Why in the hell would anyone think it is a good idea to take a cruise right?

Got behind on this thread. Two things that no one will care about:

1. Most conferences in my business have been cancelled.

2. My #1 pet peeve of bathroom doors that open inward instead of outward has hit another level with this. Should be outlawed. I should never have to touch a door handle to get out of a bathroom. All you Aggie builders that have done this are dead to me.


You know you can use the paper towel you dried your hands off with to grab the pull right? I do it in one clean sweep and toss to the bin. I've never seen a pisser without a trash can at the door.

Edit: code has a lot to do with swings and ADA. We can only do so much

My wife a few months back asked if I would ever want to go on a cruise.... "**** no". To each their own, but you wouldn't catch me dead on one... no pun intended. Floating petri dish and I've seen Poseidon.

People completely oblivious to what is going on in the world. Social media, pop culture, and sports reign Supreme. Throw in the average intellect of your average American that is a few points North of Forrest Gump.

This is Modern America. Current events? That's for the old squares. They have a life to live and a virus isn't going to stop them.
My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.

Has anyone heard anywhere where healthy middle aged folks or kids died from this?
Not in the US and I think in the countries outside China, the death rate for people under 50 is very low, especially when people with preexisting conditions are counted separately.

And kids seem to be either immune or don't get sick for the most part, although older teenagers can get it.
I told a client today that kids won't get sick from this, they survived pre-school and day cares! They're hardened!!

From the press conference.

Test conducted at the Houston lab, but sent to the CDC for verification

Man in his 70s who became ill after returning

Beyond that, the woman from Ft. Bend just read the talking points about what to do and not to do that we've all heard a million times and that was it.

From the Houston lab director:

They began running tests today, and this result was the only positive one. Tomorrow will be the first full day of tests as they're submitted, but they will still have to be prioritized. They will not test someone quickly if they have no symptoms, travel history, or no known contact with an infected person. (In other words, you're not going to get tested just because you want to be.)

One thing they pushed a lot is if you are sick with any kind of respiratory virus, you need to stay home.

They won't say how many people this person came into contact with ("we're still investigating") nor will they say where he traveled to. They did say he does not have any preexisting conditions. They will not say where the person lives nor which hospital he is in. They would not say what airline he flew or which airport he flew into.

Edit: One thing I did gather from their comments. It sounds like the guy used his brain and didn't just roam around while sick. He contacted his doctor who probably figured out the guy could have the Kung Flu and the process went from there.

They also wouldn't put a number on how many samples they have to test now that problem with the test kits have been worked out.

I'd bet that something with a normally low R0 value is magnified when it decides to take a ride on a cruise ship.

Global supplier India curbs drug exports as coronavirus fears grow

BENGALURU/NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India, the world's main supplier of generic drugs, has restricted the export of 26 pharmaceutical ingredients and the medicines made from them, including Paracetamol, a common pain reliever also sold as acetaminophen, as the coronavirus outbreak plays havoc with supply chains.

The Indian government urged calm and said there were enough stocks to manufacture formulations for two-to-three months.

The government's list of 26 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and medicines accounts for 10% of all Indian pharmaceutical exports and includes several antibiotics, such as tinidazole and erythromycin, the hormone progesterone and Vitamin B12.

It was unclear how the restriction would impact the availability of these medicines in the countries that import from India and also depend on China. In the United States, for instance, Indian imports accounted for 24 percent of medicines and 31 percent of medicine ingredients in 2018, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

When the likelihood of people in my area having coronavirus, I'll probably start using Hibiclens to wash my hands. Hibiclens (4% chlorhexidine gluconate) can continue to work to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi for up to 24 hours after washing.

For best results, you wash with Hibiclens and then wait four minutes before rinsing off the hands. Of course, you don't use other soap after that.
Wanted to drop in an thank you for this. I did not know what this was, so I googled it, and bought a 32oz container from Amazon. Then, a few minutes after I submitted it, the news dropped that there is a probable case in Ft. Bend County. I am in Sugar Land. Bought a pump off ebay, since they are backordered on Amazon for 3 weeks. How many pumps? Would you do this once a day? Any other input/advice?
