Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

By end of March we should have a better grasp on how bad this will be globally
 
You could have it and never develop symptoms. So, your question is unanswerable.
The really key question is whether asymptotic people can be contagious. Yes to that question is the truly terrifying scenario. We would all need to take tests daily to know whether to stay home or not - I’m sure everyone will comply.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

From reports it sounds as if asymptomatic people are spreading it. Hard to pinpoint exactly when incubation period isn’t confirmed

I can probably count on one hand the times I've been honestly sick (had a virus, etc) in the last 20 years. Your post is more valid than you think.

As someone who has a 3 year old and a 10 month old it is absolutely terrifying thinking of them potentially getting it.

Can he please just stand near a vector and breathe deeply? WHat a FVCK HEAD!

The president is outright making crap up and lying now. During a pandemic.

Truthiness comes from the gut, and BLOATUS does have a very sizable one (not to mention a full colon).
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

He needs to stand near a vector and breathe really deeply. Maybe we should have a bunch of Vectors lay hands on him and help him pray. I am so beside myself with disgust the thesaurus doesn't have enough words.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

The other side of this is you can't let this paralyze you. It's one thing to be cautious and follow recommendations but you still gotta live your life.

This is very true. I've already seen a rapid rise in public paranoia. I was on a plane over the weekend where I happened to sneeze a few times in a row. Dude walked over and offered me a mask. :rolleyes:

Honestly, I don’t blame him. You don’t know if he was high risk or someone he was traveling with was. This can be frightening.

At least he wasn't a ******** about it when I explained I was not sick and had sanitizer with me to clean my hands.
