Cut off all airline travel to and from iran, worldwide. No one can come back for the next month, if there... no one can go to iran. Close all borders. Mandate in home quarantine for 10-14 days effective immediately

    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

But, but, but the president said warm weather will take care of it.  By May it's 90+ in Texas.

This may be true, but it is unknown at this point. Qom is pretty cold right now. Seoul is cold as well. Singapore is in the high 80s - low 90s.

I’ve been reading this thread too much apparently. I had to go to a dinner party last weekend with my some of my wive’s friends and I brought up my concern of a pandemic. It was like those older movies where the record skips and they just blankly stare at you. On the bright side, maybe I won’t be invited back. 

Welcome to the club!

73 at midnight in Dubai. Lets see if it starts spreading there. Though the emirates can be draconian and lock that place down pretty quick. Of course then tourism goes to hell and they are in real trouble.

yep. People should take more advantage of virtual visits, whether it's phone only or video chat. For many conditions, doctors don't need to see you in-person, and it's relatively new in Texas that docs can prescribe basic meds for a new patients that they see virtually. (Previously you had to be a patient of that doc.)  Not to mention that there are so many competing services, you can probably see an MD for $25-50 in a matter of minutes.  Much better than urgent or emergency care for many ailments.

I gather US hospitals are most worried about the huge influx of people in the ER, when they will be little that can be done for them with coronavirus. I think most patients will basically have the flu which will go away with basic over the counter treatments. 

Hopefully the CDC will be able to give good guidance on when someone really does need to hit up the emergency room.

Yep, experienced it recently, when we were out of town - used the video chat, was fairly quick, got a prescription and they sent it to the nearest pharmacy to our hotel, and had it within an hour.   Was awesome.

Back when I was in Korea they ate dogs, sure. But they weren't pet dogs, they were Bred for meat like chickens. They were not very cute either! I don't think I could eat one but it is a different Culture! Crazy!

I cringe whenever I see a Korean buy a puppy on the street as I imagine the worse. Some Filipinos eat cat and dog too. There are not a lot of stray cats around and the dogs are pretty scrawny.

In one of Dr. John Cambell's latest videos  he said it was reported to him that the situation is out of control in Tehran as well. He cited that in only one hospital 12 medical staff have tested positive.

I stick by my calculations that during the initial phase, by the time there are 10 deaths, 10,000 are infected which means it is already endemic and it is almost impossible to stop an epidemic. Let Italy be an example as they went from 3 cases to 150 plus and quarantine in about 4 days. That is a likely warning time period any of us might have before being forced  into quarantine.

I already have 40 liters of various drinkable fluids and a month's supply of food, but I will stock up on a few more supplies in case I invite one of my girlfriends to stay with me.

Forget the original movie, it was terrible,  someone spliced parts of Melancholia together, including the end-of-world part to make a fan-made music video for an Avenged Sevenfold song.... Very badass.

 

 

 

Are there other reputable links to info on transmission besides the CDC that y’all have seen? Trying to make sense of the gap between the videos of people in China in spacesuits and emails from my hospital system saying to simply wash hands and use clinical judgment regarding personal protective equipment.

PPE will work but there are 3000 healthcare workers infected in China. The WHO protocol is here:

I was thinking about this today. I wonder if the exhaustion contributes to their collapse. Was reading how once suited up they cannot drink anything and are working long shifts. Must take a toll on them. 

Never use Chinese-made PPE is the lesson here.

Could you imagine the East Texas “Don’t Tread On Me” knuckledraggers’ reaction to Houston being quarantined? Equal parts funny and sad. 
 

Probably more sad. 

We’ve only tested 426 people, out of the tens, maybe hundreds of thousands who have traveled internationally over the past three months
