The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that no gatherings with 50 people or more take place for the next eight weeks, in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

That's one hell of a social experiment.

That's one hell of a social experiment.

In Massachusetts, gatherings of more than 25 people are banned.

 

Russia seems conspicuously low in Wuhan cases. Presumably they are not reporting honestly...?

I'm a firm believer in "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans."

Roll with the punches. Otherwise, you just get knocked down.

I like that.

I’m amazed to report that my daughter was able to return from her aborted vacation to Norway. Norway switched their official graph of Wuhan reports to a log plot yesterday. Gives you an idea of what’s happening there.

Anyway, she came back through JFK as planned. She said she had her temperature taken twice before even getting off the plane. I had heard of delays but she made her connecting flight.

It’s no fun to bail out of a vacation but I’m sure she’ll be glad to get home.

I feel we are losing the possible effectiveness of the 8 week restrictions. It would be advantageous IMO to let as many as possible of the youngest and heathest adults get infected with CV during that time to help build herd immunity into the work force. These groups would be closely monitored and tested for antibodies to eliminate the carriers while releasing from isolation those that do have immunity and don't spread the virus to others.

 

Well... Since they won't let me sell them... Maybe this will keep me out of jail...

You mean round them up into camps so they can be "closely monitored and tested" and then used as workers assigned to insure essential services? How about immediately infecting 1/2 of all hospital workers so they recover in 3-4 weeks when the Covid-19 cases are expected to really get going? Then, impound and infect the other half. Give them all jackets with a special logo and lettering when they "graduate". Kind of like a nationwide chicken pox party. I'm firing off an e-mail to the CDC. (Just in case, Flag: sarcasm).

Edit: Call them the "Covidians".

Those camps are called schools, universities and colleges.
It's a national emergency that will put us in a depression if it lasts the summer. Isolation will not reduce the number of infected total, it will only flatten the curve to manageable levels. Those that won't get sick need to be utilized for the national good instead of playing video games. Millennials want to take over from the boomers, ok, it's time to earn it.

 

Those camps are called schools, universities and colleges.

I will bring it up in tomorrow's all-faculty Zoom meeting. We have two weeks before students return from their extended Spring break. Plenty of time to work out the details. However, the School of Nursing and Campus Security may need more time. (Flag: sarcasm).

 

Just wait till the next head line is "Family turns into mob, slaughters next door neighbors for food and toilet paper"

Thought it takes a few days to get test results? Some get theirs over night,

They have shut down the schools around here for two weeks. I feel better now.

While the U.S. and Europe are closing shops, Chinese businesses are starting to reopen and traffic, while still lighter than usual, has noticeably increased in Beijing and Shanghai. Wuhan and surrounding Hubei province remain locked down, but Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to the city suggests that the country’s senior leadership sees an imminent end to the crisis in China.

If you look at the map, except for Hubei their unrecovered active cases are beginning to trend to zero (most locals are in single or double digits now).

Is this for real? Or did they just stop testing/reporting/whatever?

Maybe they just threatened to shoot anyone who exhibits symptoms.

 

THE MEDIA HAS NO ETHICS!

Here in Canada, the CTV Headlines today -

"COVID 19 SWEEPS THROUGH CANADA. MORE THAN 340 CASES REPORTED"

That is less than TEN in every MILLION Canadians. They wouldn't be trying to cause panic to get media coverage, would they?

We should shut the media down for 30 days. Then 90% of the world's problems would go away.
