I can't wash my hands properly because I recently got surgery and my right hand is partially covered in bandages for some time. That's a problem. I also have started fasting, since Lent began yesterday. I hope this does not weaken my immune system significantly.

Wonder what this means for RDU. They mention in the article they flew on a plane from Washington, so I'm assuming they flew into RDU. I work for an NC government entity and there's been zero internal communication regarding coronavirus.Got the first positive case in my state now. Nice.
Wake County man tests positive for novel coronavirus, traveled through RDU in late February
A representative for Raleigh-Durham International Airport said the patient traveled through the airport on February 22 and was not exhibiting symptoms at that time.abc11.com
Fasting is actually strengthening the immune system, so on that front you should be fine.
Big conference I was going to next week got postponed:

I'm not sure that 40 days of eating very little is particularly good for the health. I get sick everytime.
Regarding the discussion on whether or not schools should be closed, because of the idea that children cannot pass on the virus
"A well 6-month-old infant with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had persistently positive nasopharyngeal swabs to day 16 of admission. This case highlights the difficulties in establishing the true incidence of COVID-19 as asymptomatic individuals can excrete the virus. These patients may play important roles in human-to-human transmission in the community."

I never did fast so I can only say what studies tell: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1874391920300130
And then WHO comes with their strange statement about the asymptomatic transmission vs. influenza to muddy the waters even more. I understand trying to not create panic, but creating confusion doesn't help either.
Especially when we have infected individuals popping up in certain areas with community transmission with a way too short incubation period after the initial cases shown some symptoms.
Interesting! Maybe I just get sick because my guts dislike the change of diet (pretty much only vegetables). Well, I'm less worried now. But still pretty annoyed that I can't wash my right hand.
Regarding the increased fatality rate of those with preexisting conditions like Diabetes and hypertension I wonder if just having them increases the risk or if it is more likely the long term organ damage from those diseases increases the risk. Same with having long term conditions controlled with medication. I'm not sure there is enough info on this yet.
I think it has to be confirmed by the Department of Health before they add to the list. Not completely sure if I'm right about that though.
Mind PM'ing me the link to these. I'm curious.
2nd case in New Hamphire, linked to the first (a health employee).
"Health officials said the first patient attended an invitation-only event Friday despite being told to self-isolate. The Department of Health and Human Services is contacting other people who were at the event."
Goodness gracious.

Well, they removed the numbers for Coronavirus testing from the CDC website yesterday. As for infection numbers:

Testing is expected to expand across the country this week

My work updated their stance, handling more aggressively. All work-related travel canceled/forbidden until further notice, and those returning from countries with Level 2 or above travel advisory according to the Canadian government are required to work from home for 14 days. Employees allowed to work remotely if feeling unwell or would feel more comfortable not in the office.
Odd Alaska says only for fares booked after Feb 27... That's not super helpful. Need to call them.
Hopefully the fuckers who did this are charged and prosecuted for assault.

Either the UK is incredibly lucky (51 confirmed cases out of 13,911 performed tests since January) or the virus is quietly spreading and hundreds of cases will start to pop up soon.
Look how easily it spreads

I am sure your religion allows you to skip fasting during virus season.

I read that earlier and couldn't believe it. This situation is bringing the worst out of many out there.
That's up to the local authorities to share information about local cases
Oddly I only found out today that I'm a "full stack developer". Previously I was just a jack of all trades, master of none. :D
I have a question.
If I hypothetically got this virus, get sick, and recover, can I still get sick from the same virus again?
If I hypothetically got this virus, get sick, and recover, can I still get sick from the same virus again?
from what we have seen so far... yes
it doesn't seem like we're getting immunity from recovery but i should mention that's it's really too early to know for sure
It's 3.4% as of today. It's not set in stone.
If you look at what the Chinese did: lower the CFR from 4% in Wuhan, to less than 1% in the rest of the country, there are reasons to be optimistic. We need good containment measures, so hospitals don't get overwhelmed. And we might be able to bring down that rate in the West. Lets hope it's not too late.
Second case in New Zealand, flew in from Italy via Singapore and then took a domestic return flight on the 2nd of March so going to be lots of chasing people down.

Yeah that's really scary, I just assumed people were being tested and screened when coming from strongly affected areas :(
Seems like a good thread to discuss this in, for those who are or are considering buying masks.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/coronavirus-china-southkorea-1.5483347
Important to remember that the WHO and CDC do not recommend routine use of masks in uninfected patients. Not because they don't want you to have them, but because they don't work. And the fallout is going to be shortages for people where they are of benefit, like healthcare workers.

Bradford's recommendations are reasonable.
Interesting that he says we likely have 500-600 cases.
I think so too but it didn't seem like they were ready to take any drastic actions during the conference yesterday.
These fucking idiots are really gonna push through an unsafe vaccine to make themselves look good. Bet.
Just an FYI, but if you're looking for hand-sanitizer, try 7-11. Apparently they sell it. Just got a couple there. They had a whole box.
This advice is bad, you are supposed to cough and sneeze into your elbow not a tissue, shit can still get on your hands and through the paper if you do it that way. Booo
