Oh yeah...
Oh wait. That's bear claw. Nevermind.

In France they mentioned that 10 patients who had the virus were no longer infected after a 10 days treatment.
They are cured and left the hospital.
At first I heard they had no cures.
On NPR this morning they had a WHO doctor telling people to stop buying suits/respirators/masks so the medical professionals don't have such a hard time getting them. A few sentences later she talked about how we need to prepare. Well, which is it?
This may,just may get someone who was not paying attention to.Yea,diet soda...it may be a thing of the past very soon.
Coca-Cola says coronavirus could cause Diet Coke shortages due to 'tighter supplies' of artificial sweeteners sourced from China
While we currently expect this business disruption to be temporary, there is uncertainty around its duration and its broader impact, and therefore the effects it will have on our business," the company wrote in its annual report published on Monday.

Not so much.The lowest is actually right at 4%The WHO did NOT publicly release the report today as they said they would.The following is in part what was in the report to the WHO from the team who went to China.From what I can tell, there's ~2.5% mortality rate, and it is only that high because of so many elderly/weakened immune system/poor health care type patients who have been infected. Generally healthy people with access to good health care can survive this with relative ease. Mostly.
Based on what I've seen reported.
Maybe we shouldn't be putting all our manufacturing eggs in one basket.
Course, if this keeps going, it might affect production here anyway.
Just stocked up on some extra food items from Sam's Club. No panic buying yet.
The problem with the penny pinchers that claim that "parts on the shelf is wasted money".
On time deliver will save money..
Till it doesn't.
We've had stuff like this at work.
Don't have the part because of "on time delivery".
Something breaks Friday after noon.
Call the salesman for the part.
He's off for the weekend.
Call Monday.
Oops, they don't have the part in stock. But they're scheduled to make some, in a couple weeks.
Of course, we're losing $100k per hour of lost production.
For a $100 part we used to keep on the shelves ourselves.
I cleaned out my pantry (had a bunch of stuff that was way past its "best by" date). Planning on picking up some extra stuff just in case. I don't eat much in the way of canned foods, so I'll need to look for stuff that I'll actually eat, pandemic or not. Probably pick up some soup, dried beans and rice, peanut butter, crackers, "mixes" that don't require dairy to make, etc.. Not going to go crazy with it, but it's something I've been meaning to do anyway. I've got a big bucket of the Wise "meals" as a backup too. Probably pick up some stuff for the freezer too.
Powdered milk and you don't have to skip mixes requiring dairy. Don't forget spices. Pick up instant coffee and some tea bags. Comfort food and books for the long days. May be a good time to collect seed packets for the garden.

Remember there are rules.Wise beef stroganoff mixed with instant mashed potatoes is the bomb. Discovered that on our last backpacking trip.
Maybe empower the FDA to confiscate all unregistered hand sanitizers.
Lil Mikey's the one who wants to take away your masks and tyvek suits!Maybe empower the FDA to confiscate all unregistered hand sanitizers.
Most powdered milk is nonfat. Try Nestle's NIDO whole milk powder. You may find it drinkable.Good point about the powdered milk for cooking. No way I could drink that stuff. Blecch! That is one thing I would miss for sure. Love me some milk.
