There's a lot of misinformation "out there" which results in people buying or making sanitizers with ineffective concentrations of alcohol, which is a great way to waste alcohol Sanitizer is great for situations where you can't leave your work station (like assembly line), for high-contact jobs like receptionists, fast food, and cashiers, where you have close minute-by-minute contact with lots of people (like caregivers, EMTs etc) and aren't always near a sink or can't wash your hands every minute. Same goes for masks (not even respirators) which at least keeps those people from touching their faces. Everyone who MUST work with a lot of people should have a mask and sanitizer at their work station. It just seems like a job requirement nowadays. ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake Happy New Year, WISHY. I edited out your psychopathic screed! It's more important for people who are doing a bathroom remodel from the 60's or 70's to have a mask. How many bathrooms were remodeled this week where the workers were exposed to asbestos and who knows what because they couldn't buy any? Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:MMA trainer pleads for help as he’s forced to wait with dead body of sister for 36 HOURS in coronavirus-hit Italy “I had to force them to come and do the test. I’ve had to put myself in self-isolation. I might have the virus. To keep my sister alive, I tried to give her mouth to mouth resuscitation and no one cared, no one is calling me. We are ruined, Italy has abandoned us. But we must give each other strength.” The trainer-turned-actor later confirmed that his sister, who had a form of epilepsy, had tested positive for Covid-19. He said he had been forced to wait for 36 hours with her body at home – where elderly relatives were also staying – as he desperately sought funeral services who would come and take her body away for burial. http://www.instagram.com/p/B9exJ8_D4Ix/

SIX is willing to flush up to 30 pct of the population .. all while wringing his hands about 'people" getting hurt because of "panic". It's hard to understand whether SIX is really concerned about people or only SOME people, or only SOME victims, and willing to flush a whole lot of others. ----------- Pity would be no more, If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake Happy New Year, WISHY.

These 2 cases were from travelling in unspecified locations in America, but both were in spots with current community spread (CA, WA, NYC). Yesterday 3 more cases in WI. 2 in Fond Du Lac County (south end of Lake Winnebago) and 1 in Waukesha Co (western suburbs of Milwaukee, and wealthiest County in WI - a Firefly restaurant is there.) 1 of the FDL cases was from travel in US, the other 2 were from international travel to known hot spots. Today 2 more cases, in Dane Co, both having contact with the 2nd WI case, found earlier this week in Dane Co (Madison). But this warms my heart. https://www.tmj4.com/news/national/coronavirus/wisconsin-national-guard-mobilized-to-transport-37-wisconsinites-on-board-grand-princess-cruise-ship Saving Wisconsinites from the horrors of California.

Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: I'd like to point out a possible summary or outlook. This may be controversial, and perhaps even 6ix may disagree. I will specify several assumptions as baseline. If these concepts are disruptive to your chosen religion, please do not bother reading past it. 1. Human Immunodeficiency Virus exists, and has for centuries.
Quote:2. HIV does not cause AIDS, in the Real World.
Quote:3. HIV is spreadable thru intimate contact, such as fluid exchange.
Quote:4. COVID-19 has 4 insertions of section of HIV sequence spliced into the DNA/RNA. 3 of the insertions are from one strain of HIV, and one insertion is from another strain of HIV. These insertions spliced into the genome of COVID-19 provide for great recognition and docking characteristics for the virus to infect human host cells.
Quote:If all of the above is true, it is foreseeable that COVID-19 will enjoy widespread infection of the human population. It will become common, like the common cold or common flu. With known cases, America has proven that it can be controlled and treated - the problems in America have been the unknown cases, the community spread cases, the cases that CDC refused to test for until autopsy. In America, the known and treated cases have had a ZERO percent fatality rate. The only deaths are from those who carried the virus for a while before getting tested, and mostly also infected others as well. None of the cases that we airlifted in have perished, nor have they infected others once here. So, Like HIV, it can spread easily, but with a larger target population than HIV. Spread of HIV does not cause a spread of AIDS, and spread of COVID-19 might not cause a spread of raging deaths, unless they are untreated. More than 80% of those infected with COVID-19 are merely carriers (and are apparently under age 80). They do not get violently ill, critically or seriously ill. An overburdened Health care system does not need to deal with these mild cases. The seriously ill can get the therapy needed, and then once over it, on to the next case. How many of these, what percent of the population which become serious cases, and whether they health care system can, if triaged properly, handle them, is not yet answered. This could be overburdening, but then it will have passed, perhaps. I'm not sure how much of this will play out, but it seems a possibility. Hope I explained it well enough.

Quote: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/14/health/coronavirus-asymptomatic-spread/index.html Infected people without symptoms might be driving the spread of coronavirus more than we realized For weeks, federal officials have emphasized that asymptomatic transmission can happen, but have said that it's not a significant factor in the spread of the virus.
Quote:But it appears that a Massachusetts coronavirus cluster with at least 82 cases was started by people who were not yet showing symptoms, and more than half a dozen studies have shown that people without symptoms are causing substantial amounts of infection.
