Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Reports of a diagnosis in Sacramento. Person hasn’t traveled and wasn’t exposed to a sick person. I think it’s everywhere we just aren’t diagnosing
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

So this would be a good time for a marathon of The Andromeda Strain, "The Stand", World War Z, I Am Legend...
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

28 Days Later too?

28 Days Later! Not the sequel though. That wasn't nearly as good.

Also, World War Z... the book or the movie?

I have (or can easily obtain) the movie versions of all these (would have to break out the old VCR for "The Stand" though). I do have it on Audiobook though, so that's an option. I have not seen WWZ all the way through. I have read that it is very different (in some very bad ways) from the book. So I guess the book version. Doubtless that's available in audio form as well.

And, obviously, the 1995 thriller, Outbreak

I think the CDC knows it and isn’t reporting.

On the other hand, I don’t think doctors would be hiding anything. Especially if the feds told them to keep it quiet. So yeah, that’s whackadoodle territory.
 
To be fair, I’d be willing to bet when it’s all said and done the flu kills more US citizens than Coronavirus this year

When this all started I remember reading you are still more likely to get the flu which of course can have similar end results.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

No containment, don't know when the person has it, there's no cure only treatment, not sure how anyone is going to handle this, and misinformation abound.

This sounds wonderful.

Eh, not many states can diagnose. We can’t- have to send to cdc. Only five states can right now.
Do they know more? Maybe, don’t want to make anyone panic but you also can’t underreport

And remember we’ve handicapped the cdc- so the pileup of samples to test could be a factor

He'd probably spell it Veye "Я" Us
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

He'd probably spell it Veye "Я" Us

That would then be pronounced "vey yah us."

(sorry, one of biggest peeves is the Tetris video game with the backwards R. "Tetyahis?" Really?)

Edit: it should be pronounced as this: Тетрис Tetris. Period.
 
Why punish yourself like that?

The miniseries isn't bad and the book was very good. But I'm a big Stephen King fan, so I'm probably biased.

So last month it was nuclear war, this month a killer virus...I can hardly wait to see what the crisis is next month!
