Since it's pretty accepted that COVID-19 attacks the lung tissue, has anyone credible said anything about the long term consequences of someone who is infected but eventually recovers? Is that lung tissue permanently damaged/lost or can it fully recover?

As suspected, the comments are classy.

Didn't even bother to read them as I knew they would be vile.

Does every country have to have a case before the WHO declares it a pandemic, or are we there yet?

So I'm at the conclusion of Outbreak and my question is... how could they create an antiserum within hours? And what's the deal with finding the monkey to make the antiserum? Lastly, do all antiserums look like orange juice?

Read article this morning that the folks in that area are bristling about the quarantine already in place and authorities had to rescind a curfew because of push back. It's about to get a hell of a lot more totalitarian for those folks.

Im going to make a suggestion, start getting very comfortable with the idea that you might be spending at least 14 straight days in the confines of your home. It's a good time to start planning on where you'd like to spend that time.

Security, food and availability of other resources is going to come into play.

If you live in a large multifamily apartment complex, you may want to consider reaching out to friends, family, or work colleagues that have larger places to stay. Those apartment complexes have all sorts of maintenance issues on a good day. Having everyone home for an extended period of time will cause plumbing back ups, greater potential for fire, and other maintenance issues. Not to mention the stress of hearing your neighbors 24/7. Lots of stress, lots of short tempers.

Urban cores with lots of mixed populations and income disparities....well, let's just say, use your best judgement.

If you are single don't try to ride this out by yourself. You'll need to sleep and be secure. Strength in numbers and social interaction.

There are all sorts of scenarios to walk through, it's impossible to cover them all.


Try to create the best situation for yourself and your family. Make a plan, think it through, make adjustments, communicate with others, and be ready to take action when events warrant.

Use the Aggie Network to help each other out.

This won't turn into a mad max movie over night. You still have time to figure things out but you'll need to take action. Don't worry the conversations are warranted at this point.....everyone sees the storm on the horizon and are trying to figure out what to do.

I'm hoping/praying we have until May before things get really ugly BUT with all the turmoil in the global financial markets and the way large corporations are reacting now, who knows. I'm guessing end of March/early April is going to make for some upheaval.

I'm in the Silicon Valley and about to put my home on the market. Really want to be out of California quickly.

So I'm driving my family from dripping springs to pagosa springs CO on Friday (3/13)to ski wolf creek for spring break. Should I make other plans to stay locked down at home?

Your first mistake was being in California to begin with /s

We are a nation of *******.

How about We are MF'n 'Mericans. We will figure out how to make this thing our ***** like polio, chicken pox, Nazis, and everything else that tried to F with us.

So yes practice common sense and good hygiene but don't put out a Mad Max society call.

This movie did not hold up well. My first viewing years ago I liked it a lot. My last viewing about a week ago left not liking it at all. It was just bad.

Exactly. I see a bunch of people on here who would really benefit from turning their computer off and enjoying life.

A hotel being used to hold people in quarantine collapsed in China.

Shanghai (CNN)Search and rescue efforts are underway after about 70 people were trapped in a hotel collapse Saturday night in southeastern China, officials in the city of Quanzhou said.

The hotel was used as a coronavirus quarantine center, People's Daily and other state media outlets confirmed.

Contagion held up. Much more accurate picture of how it would go with a super aggressive virus.

Yep. We watched it about a month ago. Still good.

You do you.

When we get quarantined, we are going to potty train our two year old. And hopefully not have another two year old 33 months from later.

No it's not, not even close and hasn't been for a decade. There mission is to "save the world" as they see it.

New deaths in China over the last four days, in chronological order: 38, 31, 30, 28. Total China deaths at 3073.

New deaths outside China: 48, 53, 69, 78. Total 413.

Due to the availability of testing, I think deaths to be a more solid look at overall trends. Daily death rate outside China is increasing but the numbers still aren't alarming.

Donald Trump should have been in those test kit factories working 24h shifts!

Italy planning mass lockdown

MILAN - The Italian government is planning to lock down 16 million people more than a quarter of its population including in Milan, the surrounding Lombardy region and 11 neighboring provinces, in the most sweeping steps any European country has prepared to take against the coronavirus epidemic.

We'll see if they can slow it down there.

Just landed in IAH from Frankfurt after 8 days away. Wasn't asked where I had been or anything.

So China locked down a **** ton...

Now Italy is locking down a **** ton...

But its nothing here in the states. Riiiiight. If you aren't atleast mentally prepared to face worst case scenario, then you're in denial.

FIFY. Media 'coverage' of the coronavirus and the stock market is just yet another chapter towards trying to get rid of Trump. Not saying at all the virus and markets are irrelevant, but they are focusing on doing everything they can to make Trump lose the election. This is just another issue they have been trying to pin on him since he was sworn in.

So I'm driving my family from dripping springs to pagosa springs CO on Friday (3/13)to ski wolf creek for spring break. Should I make other plans to stay locked down at home?

---

You either get it here, or at home, the odds are the same. Actually there are no cases in southern CO. I just made the drive up and there is some good snow still up here. Plus, if you do get it, it will take 3 weeks to show symptoms, so you won't be sick up here. Wash your hands, use Purell, use good hygiene, get some good skiing in, and enjoy the rest of your life, no matter how long that is.
