Emergence of a Deadly Coronavirus

A lot of these lowlifes seem to come out of the woodwork during disasters.

I won't feel any sympathy if he gets ten years in prison. He's a burden on society.

He’s also blatantly psychotic.....to do that to the nurses like that.....

China is going to have a lot of explaining to do in the aftermath of the crisis.

They are pushing a narrative that doesn't fit the rest of the world's reality.

But lies don't stand up well to the test of time. The truth will come out.

Researchers from UC-Davis and the University of Oregon published their report in the journal mSystems and came up with some recommendations for healthier work spaces in the age of COVID-19.

Two of their suggestions: opening windows for better air circulation and opening blinds or drapes for more natural sunlight.

Although more research is needed to better understand the impact of natural light on the virus indoors, "daylight exists as a free, widely available resource to building occupants with little downside to its use and many documented positive human health benefits," the researchers wrote in their paper.

The scientists also write that more air entering the building from the outside can dilute any virus particles that are already indoors.

"No filter system is perfect," the study says. "Recently, it has been found that gaps in the edges of filters in hospitals has been a contributing factor of the failure of filtering systems to eliminate pathogens from the shared air environment."

They also note that these viruses tend to prefer drier air, so a more humid environment indoors is another way to potentially prevent the virus from spreading or even make it inactive.

Source: Natural light, fresh air could keep coronavirus out of workplaces, scientists suggest

It is some very simple inexpensive options that can dramatically reduce virus transmission. Access to windows that open in buildings to allow air to refresh with the outside air, maintaining humidity levels between 40 and 60% RH, and sanitizing the air with UVC light.

Thank goodness the rest of society has it together regarding nurses, and honouring them, and thankful that the hospital will cover the costs. Personally I cannot imagine a world without nurses.
It would go even more 'to the dogs'

I hope he gets his ass kicked in jail and needs a nurse.

Re: China has a lot of 'splainin' to do about their extremely low Beijing tally.

It's been said that China is notorious for their lack of transparency, so a low tally would be expected. And look at North Korea, sandwiched between China and South Korea, and claiming NO INFECTIONS? Gibberish.

Still, scientists have identified two strains of the novel coronavirus. It may very well be that the Asian strain that's infected the west coast of America is weaker than the European strain decimating the east coast. Of course, it's too early to tell this, but the unbridled carnage in Europe and the east coast bears serious examination.

According to this article more than 80,000 Americans died of the flu in 2018.

Although I haven't yet pinned down how many occurred in New York.

Although with nearly half of covid deaths (10,000) occurring in New York, perhaps a reasonable estimate is that 20,000 died of the flu in NY in 2018.

'Going on offense': South Dakota implements first statewide hydroxychloroquine trial in fight against coronavirus

South Dakota will be the first state to hold a statewide trial for hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment of the coronavirus.

Gov. Kristi Noem announced on Monday that the state health department and every major hospital would take part in a clinical trial to treat COVID-19 patients and those who have been exposed to individuals who tested positive for the coronavirus. The trial, which will be led by Sanford Health, was given approval by federal authorities to be the first statewide trial of the drug.

I don't know about June 1st but I think the recovery from restrictions will slow and uneven.

Instead of total lockdown there will be targeted lockdowns. One person tests positive will result in a whole area lockdown or a whole company reshut. There will be local or regional outbreaks.

In areas where nobody is testing positive masks and social distancing will continue. Even if the government lifts restrictions I think a lot of people will still refuse to go into crowded restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums etc.

Those that have had the disease will be allowed to go back to work first.

Because of financial desperation needs people who have not gotten it yet will reluctantly go back to work but a lot more of it will be done online from now on.

I also think from now on there will be restrictions because of seasonal flu.

Not saying this is accurate or not, but here's what I found on
NCHS Mortality Surveillance System.

2017 – 2018 influenza season

United States: 50,959
Upstate NY: 1,878
NYC: 960

NY total: 2,838

I suspect you aren't coping well.
I hope you can talk to someone about it.

This sort of thing *could* be a manifestation of mental illness.

Globally, people's attitudes are changing against the ccp.
How could it not?
It isn't their first rodeo, after all.

Why they are allowing the wet markets to reopen is unfathomable. <no emoji>

There's always going to be one person testing positive. This virus is not going to disappear. If a vaccine is developed over the course of a couple of years after its development covid might be put under control like measles was.

The idea of putting long term extreme controls in place to save lives is a bad one. Most people die of heart and cardiovascular disease. So of course the idea is for the government to put controls on what kind of food is allowed to be consumed and so on.

There are a number of things the government can put extreme controls on to save lives. I personally do not care to spend my entire life as a tightly controlled automaton so that I can live longer. Big Bother making sure that I get the right amount of sleep, the right amount of exercise, drink enough water, eat a specific diet and so on so that I can live as long as possible; doesn't sound like much of a life.

I can't access that because of some lengthy disclaimer pop up that blocks the page. How did you get around it?
