Cancelled my trip to Seattle next month, so far I got a full refund on the hotel and the train, just waiting if I can get a refund on my wrestling ticket I bought..... but even if I don't there 2/3 ain't bad
Costa Rica just confirmed the first case of Coronavirus, she is an US tourist.
I would relax fever is the most common symptom from the WHO report. If you notice your symptoms worsening and fever starting, or shortness of breath difficulty breathing then start to worry.Currently having an irritated throat and I'm coaching (dry) every 3-4 minutes. NOTHING else, no fever, or feeling sick or anything. Should I just relax?
that's why R&D should be subsidized and performed by the government, and the government should drive the innovation agenda, not for-profit companies. With companies in charge of the agenda and the price, only the most profitable drugs are made and used to extort the public.
If you experience any symptoms, what's the protocol? Urgent care?
PURA VIDA!Costa Rica just confirmed the first case of Coronavirus, she is an US tourist.
not sure the government could afford it to be honest. Development, human trials, and then the FDA NDAs all cost a bunch. It's usually why most of the funding falls on speculative investors shoulders.
it'a one instance where I feel the market is better at handling this because there's a point you have to cut off funding otherwise it could become a very expensive rabbit hole.
Absolutely madness. We are so unpreparedThe ominous days leading up to the coronavirus outbreak in the Seattle area
It was odd, the firefighter thought, how many calls were coming from the Life Care nursing facility in Kirkland.www.kuow.org
Residents did not know they were living amid an outbreak, he said. Staff were given masks, but residents were not. For dinner that Saturday night, his father-in-law was given half a sweet potato.

I was thinking about this just today. I think it would be real bad if everyone who thought they have this descends on their local urgent care. I really feel every municipality needs to set up a coronavirus hotline and subsequent testing facility (or facilities)
I think if you have mild symptoms you stay home. That's the bad part about testing. You put others at risk just going out there.I was thinking about this just today.

Good way of looking at itA lot of people here ascribe to the spaceship Earth theory, a.k.a. the biosphere is what makes human life sustainable, not knowledge... So for these folks, we will always be a parasite and other lifeforms on Earth would be better without us, despite the fact that the biosphere itself destroyed 99.9% of all life forms on the planet before humans ever existed. Progress can't go on forever they will say, because resources are limited. Despite the fact that the biosphere by itself is terrible at sustaining life, and only progress and science made our existence something more than mere survival.
Maybe not in this state, no, but that's why the healthcare sector needs to be reformed in America, and tax structure too, so the government can be the R&D strong arm.
for profit companies should not be the ones deciding where the cost cut off is, because they are motivated by shareholders, not public health. The government (and non-profits) are the only entities purely capable of making decisions for public health over profit.
Is there any instance where panic makes things better? We hear reports of people attacking Chinese looking folks and fighting over masks and other shit like that... How is that not dumb? You guys know what panic means right?
That being said Musk is probably upset for his stock market.
US will turn into the new Italy if they don't get their shit together.
You're already exporting cases ffs.
Costa Rica twitter is talking about this, so take it with a grain of salt.
But it is being said that the infected US tourist had suspicion of being infected on the first place, but traveled to Costa Rica due to cheaper health services.
What industry/business are you in if you don't mind me asking? Thoughts are with you, I know uncertainty can be anxiety inducing having been in that situation before.
I suppose I'm lucky that I work for, would you believe it, one of the global leading manufacturers of safety equipment including face masks/BA/respirators for industry. We're years away from meeting demand with those products right now of course - sadly that's not my market segment within the business! Must be a good time to work in the hand sanitiser and hand wash business too.
The government isn't in the drug development business and they aren't the experts on determining "if we only threw another $100 million at this we would cure this".

The US government invests a ton of money in drug research and development. They also employ some of the best experts in the world in the field.The government isn't in the drug development business and they aren't the experts on determining "if we only threw another $100 million at this we would cure this".
The government is in the public health business and drugs and vaccines arguably fall under that umbrella. And are you aware that most health science is funded by the NIH grants? University labs nationwide design new drugs and vaccines and patents, funded by government dollars. We just also have a system that allows certain drugs and cures to be decided by pharma companies' own R&D, and that needs to change

Honestly panic isn't our biggest problem right now. We have people that continue to downplay the situation and provide terrible guidance to the public at large. People buying up toilet paper is trivial to the down players
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) -- The first Nebraskan to test positive for the coronavirus is a 36-year-old woman who was traveling in the United Kingdom.
Officials said Friday the patient went to Methodist Hospital's emergency department Thursday for a respiratory infection that had been going on for 12 days.

Her symptoms were mild but got worse Thursday. She is being transferred to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The woman is believed to be from Omaha.
The epidemiology team is going to figure out who may have been exposed to her. Her current condition was described as "seriously ill."
Officials credited the staff at Methodist Hospital who realized what was happening and used proper containment methods.
There is currently one person still in biocontainment at UNMC.
And are you aware that most health science is funded by the NIH grants? University labs nationwide design new drugs and vaccines and patents, funded by government dollars.
Houston Rodeo still a go!
They absolutely do need to ramp it up. This is because republicans ruin everything they touch. I think much more people have it, but we cannot verify because we barley test.They really need to ramp up testing kits for states. It's very likely already in all 50 just waiting to be tested. Let's get those tests out there so we can start working from home
I used to be in the Corral Club Committee. Things aren't looking 100%. I'm cautiously optimistic we will have a show this year. The thing is we draw vendors from all over the world. But no one has pulled out yet.
Man, from a public health perspective it's the only move but economically it's going to be a disaster.
