Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

Even in affected countries like USA, a few spot account for most covid infection and fatality.

Again, the problem isn’t the virus itself but our response to it. We could have told all the oldsters to stay home for a couple months. Instead we shut down the world. Beyond stupid.

You think they will listen?

Florida shout down will end on April 17. People to show up at work starting from April 20. Hope they do (open up) it soon in California too.

Btw, referring to vegetables and fruits. No issue for beef and pork.
Can machines harvest vegetables? Pick apples from trees?
Only heard of harvesting grains using machines.

yeah that’s not gonna happen.

Have anyone seen this before? I think it’s probably fake (at least unproven) because it should all over the news otherwise.

Also just saw this:

I have wondered how an symptomatic patient can infect others, if he/she covers all coughs and sneezes and avoids touching his hands with his eyes/nose/mouth (and exit). When you are infected you don’t automatically have the virus all over your skin, right? Since we are all potential carriers we should all assume that we are and act accordingly, but I hope there is a lighter way than complete quarantine for us maybes.

Probably the above belongs to fake news ecosystem. A news written by fake news correspondent , sourced to some fake expert , and written for the consumers of the fake news. The problem is that the consumers of fake news and non-fake news intersect very little. So whatever little overlap that is there is not enough for strong inter group ( between fake news consumers and others) communication.

One of the problem with internet is that people can cluster them with the like minded people and only read and argue what they believe in. Think of it as online ghettos.

Is Texas a shelter at home state? My BA friend has isolated herself in Austin 2 weeks already.
She needs a boyfriend. Is going stir crazy.

I think is still county by county. Williamson is from Mar 24 to Apr 13.

His friend should qualify as my casual girl friend.

Can walk and jog around. Other than grocery shopping, I drive around during office hrs and notice about 20-30% decline in traffic. I notice many cars in car parks of Costco, HMart, Walmart, Home Depot and HEB. In my gated community, children play together and adults have pool party.

Religious gatherings such as churches, temples, mosques are clusters for coronavirus. Many in Singapore have switched to online.

Green shoots.

Sounds like a deadly hotspot in the making. :scream:

If they don’t that’s their problem. The rest of us aren’t going to die from it.

:muscle: :us:

Machines can do all those things. US is decades behind the curve. Europe doesn’t have a Mexico next door for cheap manual labor.
