Somewhere there is a room full of people desperately trying to think of a way to link corona virus to climate change.

Yeah, no surprise. Check out #25thAmendment trending on Twitter.

still curious as to the attack rate

if it's airborne and hangs around in the air so long, how does that jive with a familial close contact attack rate of 10%-15%

i just think the jury is still out here

something doesn't add up

plus i trust the Singaporeans on their advice as to what is the significant transmission route. they have nothing to gain from being evasive here. they want to appear to be completely on top of this.

Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official 'safe distance' and stay in air for 30 minutes

The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 can linger in the air for at least 30 minutes and travel up to 4.5 metres further than the "safe distance" advised by health authorities around the world, according to a study by a team of Chinese government epidemiologists.
Social distancing needs to be extended.


Also, I tried to post this picture, but it didn't come out as nicely...so good job.

For instance, the passengers sitting immediately next to the carriers were not infected, though they were suffering the highest exposure to the disease-bearing aerosols.

I gotta say, surgical masks at least are can't hurt might help in my opinion

It wasn't aerosols. It was who touched what seat back on the way off or on.

This whole Corona Virus thing has to be a social experiment with social media and media.

This is where that info graphic is useless.

How do you know the infected didn't have additional contact putting up luggage? Waiting to get on the bus? Did everyone use the same hand rails?

No one gets on a bus in orderly fashion, sits still and doesn't touch anything.

The transmission could have occurred from any number of unique interactions that have nothing to do with "personal space" and "air time".

This is poor science being exaggerated by the media.

Unfortunately, certain people love that kind of stuff.

If it is bad, it must not be questioned even though it has a lot of holes in it.

I'm legitimately curious if there is a reasonable explanation for this step. Seems counterproductive, or at very least terrible communication if there is a reasonable explanation that DOJ failed to explain. Any thought?

Accoridng to npr just now, trump might have been exposed to coronavirus himself by way of mark meadows and matt gaetz.

They both are self quarantined and gaetz found out while he was AF1 while meadows escorted trump to the cdc.
Doug Collins, not Mark Meadows.

The person wasn't sick when at CPAC, and neither Gaetz nor Collins are sick. So far no one from CPAC has become ill and we've already passed the average time that symptoms appear.

I know any kind of optimism isn't liked by some people on this thread, but in this case, there is at least a little to be optimistic about.

I maintain most airborne germs in air travel are passed thanks to the dip**** gate stalkers who camp out right in front of the entry even though they are ****ing Group 7. Having to navigate one's way through all of these inconsiderate plebes puts you at high risk for exposure. And chinese people are the worst. Maybe it wasn't wet markets or bioweapons but rather chinese people's inability to respect lines and order is the reason this started in China

Looks like it is all connected to students who were doing study abroad in Europe, especially Italy and Spain.

At least two are sick with it, one in Chicago and the other in New York. Neither had gone back to campus.

There is also one case in Nashville, but they're not sure how the woman got it. She isn't connected to the university.

I was hoping A&M would just cancel all of the Spring Break study abroad trips, but they haven't. There is at least one group in Paris right now.

Many people are used to employers looking negatively on employees for being sick. I've worked places where people are expected to be there even if they feel like they are dying. Fortunately, my current employer isn't that way, but you still have rogue employees not willing to use PTO when they get sick.


Many employers also go ape**** over the idea of working from home. The whole situation is completely backwards and it's all designed to dehumanize employees.

The real number is probably somewhere in between the official number and the doomsday number.

I don't profess to know which way this thing is going to go, and I'm not in panic mode, but I think it's realistic to assume that most major cities will be exposed to the virus. The major cities that don't have reported cases are likely simply because the people who have it haven't gone to the doctor yet.

I'd take it a step farther and say that most major cities have been exposed, have had infected people go to the doctor, but have not been able to get tested.


Someone with time and money should sue Matt and force his hand on whether he sold it or not. If he doesn't own the site, then he can't be taken to court for the content.

Read the article and quit labeling everything you don't like as doomsday fear mongering.

2M is the conservative estimate.

Currently 8% of their congress has the virus. If 8% of their population has it, the number is 6M.

I believe that, but if Iran is really around 2M, what is China's real number?

I'll post what I want, thank you very much. Last time I checked you aren't the arbitrator of what gets posted.

Put me back on ignore if my posts bother your delicate little eyes.
