Coronavirus

If you are infected, then by remaining indoors you are limiting the spread to no one or just a few who are there with you in that closed space.

By going outside you risk exposing others to it.

I know you are speaking against gathering, but mate we can't take that risk. You could spread it while passing by them.

I'm talking about being alone outdoors - why is walking by yourself outside on the street after 8 pm now illegal? And if being indoors is such a life saver that's going to protect everyone then why is it legal to walk on the street at 7 pm? Does the virus only go outside at 8 o'clock?

This Man Needs to be on the Presidents Advisor cabinet.

As Much aggravation as its coused The Corona Virus needs a Stunner To The Jaw and a proper ass kicking to happen to it.
Example The Corona Virus Is Vince McMahon and he is gonna infect this hospital.

I'd prefer pizza as a cure.

Well, 'cold beer will cure a cold'... So maybe, 'cold beer and pizza takes care of coronavirus'

This is just crazy. Earlier today, I sneezed, and then I noticed that Hubby was staring at me for almost 10 minutes. When I asked him why he was staring at me, he said that he wanted to make sure that I wasn't getting sick.

I actually had to explain to him that it was just a sneeze, and I've been doing that all my life, ever since I was a kid.

Yes I have a dry cough and bad sinus and winter is my worst time with gas and dust. I was trying to clear my throat and sinus's and a policeman in walmart asked me if I felt ok. I said I had this nasal issue since i was born its called allergies. Policeman suggested I go home or to ER. Who can afford a 3,000 exam to tell me i need some Clariton

What you are saying is correct, but the authorities can't give orders on specific areas. Orders tend to be uniform.
And if they give different orders to different areas, we know how people in crowded areas would react. Some of them will feel like they have been mistreated. And then we will see stupid behaviour, something which we are seeing loads of across the world.

New coronavirus can persist in air for hours and on surfaces for days.

Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, attempted to mimic the virus deposited from an infected person onto everyday surfaces in a household or hospital setting, such as through coughing or touching objects.

They used a device to dispense an aerosol that duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze.

The scientists then investigated how long the virus remained infectious on these surfaces, according to the study that appeared online in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday.

US cases really escalating now....almost 1000 new cases Monday and over 1700 yesterday?!

Well there seems to be no shield cause you either get it or you dont. This seems to be working through each area of each country. There is no cure seems like. You just either live or die. Infected means 50/50 when it runs its course. WV my state got its first case and thus all bars and eat in restaurant's were closed by the Gov. last night. This whole notion of we gonna give the poor a Thousand doller's. Well sure I'll take free money. But Um if not suppose to be near people how are people suppose to use it into the economy.

This is due to the testing being more widely available. You will see a big spike in reported cases over the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, reminder that a big surge was inevitable and totally expected. Both because even if what we do helps, it won't stop the initial rise, and because we're going to test more and discover a lot of cases we didn't know about. This is good, relatively speaking: the reason everything is totally shut down is because we don't know who has it. As we get better at finding that out, presumably who stays in or goes out can be a little more targeted.

Keep at it, keep staying in as much as possible, interact with as few people as possible. This week and next, still very important. This helps, even if you see the number of cases going up.

Over 7,300 cases now in the U.S. It's becoming very depressing seeing these numbers rise.

See above!

I'm not certain. I'm not certain about anything. But there's the possibility, or conspiracy whatever you wanna call it, that this virus was laboratory created. In 50 years the world population doubled, it's destroying the planet on all levels, many may argue that many of those are elderly, but with this new wave of migrants, that's no longer a valid point, if you think like they think, I mean, production, cooperation to this system, also the elderly are the more affected, is near a death sentence, they are an old dog that no longer can race, just eat and occupy space, it can't work, it doesn't cooperate to this machine of production. There are possible signs, not to say evidences, that the virus cause infertility, in Muhan's Tongji hospital the specialist Li Yufeng is advising people to make fertility tests. This virus is very similar to the 2002-2003 SARS, they both "take shelter" in the cell known has Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, that is present in the lungs and testicles, SARS created according to the specialist incredible damaging consequences on the testicles. There's also operational's (nurses, doctors) saying the number of deaths and infected is been largely conceal. In China specially there have been a clima of instability, the Hong Kong situation, obviously I don't believe China would take such measures (infecting the world's population) without international connivance, or even cooperation. It took three months for China to talk about the virus. Many countries knew the consequences of such virus and didn't implement any measures to stop the propagation, my country included, not that I believe in "countries", I believe in what I believe they believe - the common (planetary) good/bad. And if this is the case, I see there point, I can even agree with them.

Yeah I saw. I really wish the news would start talking about a vaccine. That would be encouraging.
