Coronovirus III

[nonobaddog]

That is an interesting and informative video....and would seem to support my position that virus particles floating MILES through the outdoors (which is all I ever said) are not causing infections.

How does that video support that position?

Just to throw out a thought, I believe it is going to be at least two (2) years before we have any really good information on this disease.

It is going to take that time to come up with reliable, accurate tests, implement them, study them, correct them, redo them with corrections, then compile that data into a meaningful resource.

Right now we are trying to find our way around massive underground caverns in the pitch dark with only one (1) pack of matches. Every time we light one we see only a little bit and it ain't much, nowhere near enough to find our way out.

Problem is they always solve the problem by the end of the episode on TV and that is what we expect. Real world works very slowly compared to TV world.

As I understand it all you are doing is putting off the almost inevitable, my understanding is near 80% of us must deal with it. I hope I had it and if not just get it over with. Only reason for shelter in place was to not max out healthcare resources.

Not completely - another reason is to avoid catching it long enough for a vaccine to be developed or at least effective treatment. That way you might avoid getting dead.

I'm guessing those trucks had been used in the past for insect spray.

Doing "lots of stuff" makes the provincial govt look good in the eyes of the Beijing.

I'm guessing there's a chance those trucks are just spraying water.
"Doing 'lots of stuff' makes the provincial govt look good in the eyes of the Beijing" and makes China look good to apologists in the U.N.

Well it doesn't look like water or steam but that certainly is one possibility that they are doing fake stuff.

Dissipation into the outside air is seen as a good thing....because it is.

This is the first time the WHOLE world has agreed on ANYTHING. And it's a damn virus. So much for being civilized.

It is good for the people inside but less good for the people outside. They can't just disappear - because of physics. They have maybe three hours or so to drift on the wind and then stick to a tree or the ground or somebody's pants or in their lungs. The only thing for sure is they are going somewhere.

I saw that, but in no way does that indicate that a single virus particle (whatever particles that started out would be dispersed) could travel through the air for miles in the wind and infect someone. That was the claim....I understand it was noted as being low odds, but I'm not so sure "low" is low enough for that claim.

I bet you don't believe you can get the clap from a toilet seat in a gas station......

You should tap him on the shoulder and let him know his mistake.

I'd like to see that.

From a distance.

I think that's the father of the guy with the "Moran" sign.

Wife says probably not, unless your licking the seat.

Governors in Georgia and Tennessee are taking steps to start open their states back up. Tennessee's stay at home order is being allowed to expire at the end of the month while Georgia will allow some businesses to reopen Friday.

Amazing that the exact same people, wearing the exact same clothes, took the exact same walk in the exact same position in both Los Angeles and Jacksonville.

Yep, the dream of something not guaranteed. There are dozens of viruses that they have studied for years that still have no vaccine.

Looks like the needed medical care can resume tomorrow from the .gov updated orders. Open up all medical care resume next week if things progress well. Dental and vet too.

Uncanny, ain't it?

So you’re saying the virus has caused a time warp, or a wrinkle in the space/time continuum? That’s the only logical conclusion.

 

[nonobaddog]

This is true, however what is the reason?

With some viruses the outbreak runs its course before a vaccine can be developed and afterward there is no need for the vaccine and work directed at it stops.
With the SARS virus, a vaccine was actually developed and then not really needed. However this work is useful now since the SARS virus was also a corona virus. It was also a single strand RNA virus like this china virus this gives us a leg up on developing a vaccine for the current china virus and will probably stimulate further work in this field so the response time will be better for future china f*** ups.
