Hm, I'm not some microbiology expert, but don't they just stick to the skin until they enter the host or get washed away by soap?

IMO as long as water / sweat doesn't move it into your mouth you're probably fine?

K thanks. I figured that was the case but I didn't know if it like moved on its own kinda or if it just stayed in one spot. Kinda comforting although I shouldn't even be worried cause it was for like literally one second but who knows at this point what it takes

If he declared that travel to and from California and Washington to be banned, liberals would have been in an uproar claiming dictator and the like.

Does Trump pay a lot of attention to what liberals are doing?

Morbid as it is, I thought we had more confirmed deaths in the US by now.

It's 57 as of today. 40 of them in my state.

That's still BAD, but I thought we were at over 100 by now...

Oregon reported its first death today and 38 cases.

We're stuck between 2 states with higher totas and there's a major north/south interstate that runs through CA/OR/WA

UK's Coronavirus blueprint was fleshed out further as more impending measures emerged:

Troops will be deployed to guard hospitals and supermarkets, where panic-buying unleashed carnage on Saturday

Thousands of private hospital beds will be drafted to relax the pressure on the NHS, which threatens to be overwhelmed as cases climb

Business will be urged to serve the national interest by overhauling production lines to instead manufacture essential medical equipment such as ventilators

Whole families will be told to isolate themselves even if just one member falls ill with coronavirus

The police are planning to sideline pursuing minor misdemeanors and only investigate crimes involving a loss of life to free up officers

Over-70s will be told to stay at home for four months

Sounds like a run of the mill cold. As long as you are still breathing fine it shouldn't worry you. If you star being short of breath then you need to get checked.

Whole Foods worker here just shedding some light on stuff. You can probably find this info online but ill keep my gamefaqs fam informed.

  • Workers can call out for the day with no absent penalty. If they say they are exhibiting any symptoms associated with coronavirus then they must see a doctor before returning.
  • Stores have been super busy. We are running out of bags to put groceries in.
  • I have not heard of anyone who called out getting the special sick leave pay that Amazon mentioned.
  • There is practically no incentive for coming into these hectic work days, other than the fact i need my basic pay to live.
  • I feel we are at high risk of getting infected, as the grocery store is pretty much a mass gathering and yesterday a customer told me how the just came from Ohio. (seriously why mention that)
  • The people that do go to work are doing it out of their goodness of their heart or because they cant afford not to work. This risks employees still coming in sick as its not like were getting this paid sick leave right away even if we do qualify to get it.
  • please encourage your friends and family to be patient with all retail workers. its a trying time and like i said before there is no incentive to come into work while the penalty for not working is waived. this leads to some call outs and people pulling the weight of others that were scheduled to be there all in the midst of this crisis.

Is there a particular scientific basis for thinking this will become an annual, seasonal thing or is it just conjecture at this point?

Coronaviruses are zoonitic viruses, meaning they have animal vectors as well. It's here to stay and will most likely be seasonal.

It's like watching a train wreck. Actually, no, it's like being at a site of bridge collapse that lead to a train wreck, then seeing a train approaching from far away and feeling extremely anxious of whether that train will stop before it too crashes.

Interesting. The number of cases in Finland are about a fourth of Norway's and Sweden's, but double that of Iceland's. Proprotionally, that's very low, as Iceland has a mere 300,000 inhabitants, whereas my country has a little over 5 million.
Looks like we've not been hit badly (yet).
