Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Covid-19

No clue if this is legit, but if it is!

I guess you are talking about conforming. I have learned if don’t conform, you would be severely punished. A society somehow have a group think or hive mind, everybody think and behave a like. With globalization and travel technology improvement, I noted that people are thinking and behaving more alike regardless of ethnicity, culture, nationality and religion. For example, 9-5 working hrs, clothings, systems of education, buildings, etc … long ago, are very different, now everywhere you go, look similar.

Moderna developed the vaccine in one week. It will take 1 year to get past the regulatory framework. How do Israelis do in 90 days? Can we trust their vaccine?

I can pretend to understand this stuff, but the more possible solutions the better. The Israeli one sounds like they developed an effective poultry coronavirus vaccine, and that the current novel one utilizes a similar infection mechanism.

Yikes! Why would they publicize themselves?

Over testing could be a big mistake. Sure it would be nice to know who is positive. But the only way to know is to test everyone every day or at least every two weeks. That would mean hundreds of millions of tests and a complete breakdown of the health system. The protocol now is to test those with certain symptoms.
Social isolation will help but the best hope is slow down transmissions not to stop it completely.

No shortage of anything Payson, Pine or Strawberry. Just the usual good cheer and a big ole St Patty’s celebration complete with ATV motorcade.

You don’t immediately test positive. That’s why people in quarantine tested negative twice and only tested positive when tested a third time. So if you’ve been exposed to someone with it, you have to self quarantine. You can’t just get tested and if you’re negative assume you’re in the clear.

She says it broke her heart but opened her eyes that other people don’t understand how serious the coronavirus is for high risk families.

Exactly.

Texas is not spare. Yesterday was 34 cases. Spread is increasing exponentially. F…
The latest updates on coronavirus in Texas: The state is experiencing a public health disaster as community spread has been discovered, at least 62 cases have been disclosed and people in each of the five largest urban areas have tested positive.

Not leaving the house for two weeks.

Whoever shamed her deserved to be coughed on.

Obviously, this transparency strategy(public stigma from your perspective) makes majority of people behave more responsibly. I strongly prefer transparency strategy over lockdown and it works much more effectively and peacefully. There has been no panic buying of food or basic necessities. Deliveries of food, groceries and other items have been readily available anywhere in S.Korea. Only item which couldn’t meet the demand was KF94-mask(comparable quality with N95 mask in US), which almost everyone wears outside home.

Most of the bad effects of the Chinese lockdown were censored out of Chinese news media and led to @hanera’s rosy impression. I have seen many reports of patients in Wuhan going from one hospital to the next, on foot, begging to be admitted but turned away. The latest report I saw was a pair of mother and daughter, mother in 80s and daughter in 60s, both died within a month. The daughter tried to get her mother admitted into hospital but couldn’t. The human toll of the Wuhan lockdown is extremely high.

Texas has 28 million people.

I agree with you on this. During the incubation period, you may get false negative result.

However, what S.Korea found is that there are so many asymptomatic confirmed cases especially among young people in their 20s.
The reason they found this is because there was huge outbreak in cult-church congregation and KCDC decided to test everyone in that group. Out of 1900 members of the church, there are 1300 people with symptom and 600 without symptom. 87.5% of people with symptom got positive in COVID-19 and 70% of people without people got positive.
Thus, I guess it is also important to test people based on the history of contact with confirmed patients although they don’t show any symptom. Once confirmed as positive, I believe most of reasonable people would quarantine themselves strictly. That’s the only way we can prevent asymptomatic people from spreading germs to vulnerable ones.

That means the fatality rate is far lower than we are hearing if it’s that common to be positive without it symptoms.

Singapore uses this strategy for those who throw rubbish anyhow. Instead of fining them, they have to sweep the place for a fixed duration. Shaming works better than $ because current Singaporeans are fairly rich and can afford the fine.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth instead of expressing your opinion of which strategy your prefer.

Everybody know this. But we don’t know whether is lower or higher if no lockdown.

You are welcome.
