So all these people returning who have to be screened and quarantined. WHERE will they be quarantined? Is it self @ home? Man these are trying times.

tldr: they tried to reinfect monkeys and it was unsuccessful.
Good news, but only one study?
And weren’t there reports of reinfection in Asia, or was that just relapsing?

Yeah it seems to make a reappearance in more virulent form in those who have already been infected

These two... If you travel through Asia, you’ll notice its a year round thing to see masks and be temp checked upon arriving into the country. They are vigilant about it, maybe people here will start becoming the same.
Indeed. At the very least this thing will hopefully spur people to wash their hands more often.

A real time update as I went to Walmart earlier in a county with a confirmed covid case. I posted this in a different thread over on secrant but figured you guys could possibly use an update on store inventory as well.

Went to Walmart today and came upon the regular TP aisle and saw nothing as far as the shelf reached. Walked back to the dairy section which is at the back of the store and has a very wide aisle (about 3 times wider than your normal aisle) only to see TP displayed on the floor (about 10 stacks of TO head high). There were employees back there limiting the amount of bread, milk, eggs, and TP customers could grab. So all of these pictures being spread on Facebook and Twitter *may* be taken out of context. I can't imagine my WM is the only one doing this.

Some good news, South Korea reporting only 76 new cases, down from over 100 yesterday.
SK did it right... The US should learn. We were slow to react and its biting us in the arse now.
I thought we would have done a better job, but thats what you get for trusting the US govt

The one I saw recently was a case report from Japan. I’ve been skeptical from the beginning, it’s the perfect scare story.

While it’s increased virulence is a problem, the biggest is the fact that it is cutting through a completely susceptible population. That won’t happen in the future regardless of vaccine deployment.
The doubling of cases every six days only really applies to novel viruses like this, not for things like seasonal flu.

Stepping away from the numbers for a bit, a sobering comparison of the obituary section from Bergamo, Italy, from Feb 9th to today’s edition.
This is a city with a population of 120k.
Just like regular flu, no?

A buddy of minE is an endodontist in Columbus. I’ll ask him about the masks.

Is that because of acquired immunity? What if the immunity only lasts for a short time after recovery?

Keeping hammering, maybe one day you’ll come to grips with your insecurity...
Like it or not, until it kills 30k in the US, the “its not as bad as the flu” crowd will continue to preach.

So what are the odds we start looking at a 2 week lock down like we’ve seen in other countries? The amount of closures, the limiting of assembly size, etc seem reasonable in small steps but how far will it go before this is under control?
Posted on 3/14/20 at 9:51 pm to Volvagia
Bergamo has been possibly the worst hit city in the world.
But yes still sobering

Why would it?
It doesn’t really in the time tables we are talking about. You have to go years and years with zero exposure to depress the antigenic memory response. And if that’s happening, it’s kinda a moot point in the context of this topic.
Even in cases of them making an error on the flu strain predictions, or if it mutates after generating the vaccine, a partial match response often leads to a far milder illness, even if it wasn’t sufficient to prevent you from getting ill at all.

Volvagia is not insecure about this. He’s realistic.
And whoever is downvoting Jenn is a fricking idiot. She’s on the front lines of this shite.
