We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Because we also want to protect others. Some mild cases have no symptoms. You feel safe when you go outside with everyone wear face masks.
The main reason that the vaccine won't be available for some time is testing. You can't give hundreds of millions of people something that might give them cancer 10 years down the road.
Same here (SoCal) I doubt it's corona it's all in my sinuse. I have no fever or cough just a an occasional runny noise, baggy eyes and some headaches. Body feels fine.
Arguably a bad thing.
My take living in Japan is that masks are expected. It's a social thing that has nothing to do with whether it works or not.
It helps to spread the message that people should be mindful of such things. No reason people can't wave at each other for a greeting rather than shaking hands or high fiving.
Im wearing gloves on the london tube generally because its cold out. What should i be aware of?
I'm ok with this because it sends the right message to the masses
Yeah, and I find that commendable. What I mean is that regardless of the ethnicity of the people who are in these cases popping up, news sites and editors are putting in images of Asians wearing masks to perpetuate the racist stereotype that it's Chinese people who are spreading this virus around. Here's a clear example.
More of this is coming, this is not a joke:
Spectators will be banned at NCAA Division III basketball tournament games at Johns Hopkins due to coronavirus

Why would it be a joke? This has happened in many countries already. In Italy all sports events until at least the 3rd of April will be held without spectators.
I have a trip to new york next week that I'm somewhat worried about. I mean I'm personally healthy (and taking extra steps like cutting out alcohol and making sure to take vitamins and get 8 hours sleep). But i'm kind of worried since my dad who's 61 is visiting in the days after... :/. I'd really like to see my NYC friends but I don't want to get my dad sick because he's getting older and is overweight and has high blood pressure

The Virus is not a Joke, I expect many many more things to be cancelled.
Are these mad rushes for supplies going to continue until the pandemic ends, or is this just an initial reaction that people have to get out of their systems?

Every healthcare expert I ever heard talking about this was saying that masks are pretty much mandatory for all sick people and those who has to be in close contact with people who are suspected to have this virus.
The reason why it's not recommended for everyone at this point is mainly because we don't have enough masks and are really bad at directing limited resources to those who need it most.
If everyone in the US would get masks and start wearing them today, it will without doubt reduce the rate of infections.
If it gets bad enough they may not have a choice but they'll try to run it if they can without it being a public health issue. Indycar is already monitoring the situation ahead of the season start later this month in St. Pete.
We'll looks like folks have caught onto the DIY sanitizer finally. There isn't a drop of rubbing alcohol on the shelves at Wallyworld. Off to Target it is then.
What's concerning is even the low % stuff is gone, so a lot of people are going to be making batches of sanitizer that doesn't do anything.

Japanese use face masks heavily in Spring because of the pollen allergies. However, from Jan 20 as the outbreak happened in Wuhan, we have almost purchased most of the face masks from Japan. And you should watch the news that Japanese people are complaining the masks are out of stock all around, and of Japanese government QA session they promise to provide face masks to the people for self protection of covid-19, but they failed because the production can't meet the requirement.
Meanwhile, a lot of Chinese factories switch to face masks factories. And now we produce 150 million masks per day. It's not only for the medical system, but to supply to all Chinese people.
The non-n95/surgery face masks not work for stopping Virus in high risk areas like hospitals, but they do protect us in our daily life and stop the spitting onto your face. But everyone know that we are in shortage of N95 masks in hospitals, so citizens should save N95 to hospitals. With wearing face masks and wash hands we have lots of success cases here that people didn't get infected even they are taking care of their infected family members. And we also observe some cases that people talk without face masks get infected in 15 seconds( it came from early cases of each provinces, the doctors try to find the connections between the confirm cases. Most are families,but there are some random cases they don't know why and how people get infected. and the ask for their movement path. And then they ask help from the police to provide the video tracking in that area, then we found that 2 cases never met before but talk face to face in the shopping mall.)
That is one of the reason why we almost stop the spreading outside Wuhan.
Our suggestion is that if you are in a city with confirmed cases. When you stay at home without any infected possible cases at home, You don't need wear face masks. If you go outside to parks or other places and you don't get anyone close to you, you don't need face masks either.
If you have to take bus or subway or go to supermarkets, wear face masks, if you go to hospitals, wear the best level masks you have. If you don't have N95, normal masks are better than nothing.

The mortality rate is 4.2% now :(
I hate to defend Trump, because if the clown was capable of making coherent thoughts and finishing sentences normal people could understand immediately we wouldn't have this sort of miscommunication, but it's apparent to me that he was referring to the shutting down of air travel from China, not that he's shut down the virus. We can of course criticize his admin for cutting the CDC budget, doing nothing to prepare in the first six weeks of 2020, lack of transparency around testing, false and misleading statements, and more. But in this case, he's talking about air travel.

2 weeks ago there was nothing basically. 197 people died since. Absurd.
also the masks most people wears improperly do a pretty bad job of keeping viruses out. They're much better at keeping coughing and sneezing of already sick people from spreading it to others (even if worn improperly)
Wonder what's causing the seemingly higher death rate in italy? older? smoking?After the huge jump of Iran (+1.234 cases, +16 deaths)

Yeah, Penske's probably sweating right now. I'm pretty sure it's still the highest attended single day sporting event in the world, with like a ton on international visitors.
I really need to know why people feel the need to stockpile toilet paper and bottled water.
So rich pieces of shit are f***ing it up for the rest of the world. WTF...
Italy has one of the oldest population in the world, and this may very well be the reason.
Another country with very old people is Japan.
From a 2017 report
"Italy now has the second oldest population in the world, with 168.7 elderly for every 100 young people. Life expectancy in Italy in 2017 rose to 80.6 years for men and 84.9 years for women, ISTAT said. Italians could expect to live longest in Florence (84.1 years) and in the northern province of Trento (83.8 years)."

Italy's population fell for the third consecutive year in 2017 and continued to age, ISTAT said in a report on Wednesday. The national statistics agency added that the country also feels more fragile, with 17. (ANSA)

COVID-19’s Mortality Rate Isn’t As High As We Think — Slate
We need to be thinking about nursing homes, not schools. Hospitals, not planes.

I work a couple of days a week in a major UK supermarket and literally nothing has been said about this yet - No information, no training, nothing from the managers.
There's been confirmed cases about 30 minutes away for days now and they honestly don't seem to bothered about keeping the staff fit to work. We work picking peoples shopping, from fresh produce that isn't in packaging to chilled items and household goods. You would think they'd at least remind people to regularly wash their hands and cough into your arm etc, but no, people are spluttering all over the shop..
It's even funnier when they cram 10 members of staff down one aisle and everyone is working in a 15m2 space, rather than spreading people out and ensuring you don't get all your staff sick in one go.. I guarantee people would work whilst sick as well as the company doesn't trust anyone when they are ill and they're pretty vocal about it.
Completely sold out of things like toilet roll, pasta, paracetemol, water, hand gel and a lot of soaps.

I got to believe that even a poorly worn mask is way better than coughing into your elbow.
Unfortunately it is one of the causes... Many old people diedbbecause of COVID-19, and many others will die... We are really in a bad situation, the initial quarantine have not been enough unfortunately.
Getting pretty annoyed with things in Sweden.
We are at 136 confirmed cases. We're doing a decent amount of testing. But...
The criteria to get tested are insane. Basically:
I'm just hoping it all ends up ok but I'd feel a lot better if it felt like we took it seriously.

The criteria to get tested are insane. Basically:
- You have corona symptoms and have been to a hotspot country.
- You have been in close contact with a confirmed case.
- They have basically ruled out everything else and you have all the fitting symptoms.

Currently planning to go to Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle next week. ReedPOP hasn't cancelled, but there's a huge list of guests and artists that aren't going. Friends are going no matter what, even if the con is cancelled. If ECCC cancels I'm 100% pulling out.
Last three days have been an anxious whirlwind of deciding whether to go or not--borderline minor panic attack inducing at some points. I have friends and family on both sides of the field, saying "Go! You'll be fine. Practice good hygiene and take extra precautions." or "It's better to cancel and not spread the illness."
Wife is a HS teacher. I'm young, healthy, and only seldom work with elderly patrons. I really don't want to miss the event--a bit of FOMO since I know if I bail my friends will still go, have an awesome time, and not have any issues.
Stressed about it all.

nobody knows. it's possible but it seems most cases are symptomatic transmission as with most flus
As someone who works in a hospital with underlying lung conditions, I'm really wondering if I should look into a different job. I just can't get a grasp on how sever the lung issues are for someone like me.
Fuck me the salt in that headline lol
It's also a good idea because of the message regarding handshaking.
This is still a megabrain dumb-as-hell statement because most of the cases in the US didn't even come from china
Some patients show no symptoms at all; as a result it is difficult to distinguish between a patient in the incubation period and an asymptomatic one if we just look at the symptoms. It is known that asymptomatic patients can be infectious for up to 3 weeks.
This paper may help.
to get a proper death rate, you first need to know the number infected
