Corona Virus Updates Part 2

Any word on that cruise ship porting in NJ with a couple of positives and let the whole lot of passengers possibly exposed to freely go home?

seems like that was almost too easy?

Hi Brick, good to see you back. Same story round here. People are sold on it being the flu, and therefore "so what?".

In case you get your marching orders and are told in no uncertain terms that you will be glasshoused if any leaks are detected, maybe you could post us a code word for when the shi# has hit the fan. "I ate a lot of peanuts today, hmmmm salty" or something.

Take care of you and yours, cheers.

next Wednesday.... mark the date down

Why?

Most of us on some level definitely secretly want something really bad to happen, but that's not because we're bad people. It's because that is human nature. We all have these conflicting thoughts that we are not proud of, you included.

Well, in a long list of dumb things I have read over a very long time, THIS one has to take the cake.

Seek help, buddy. Seriously....

Don't forget about the dead crew member found in the engine room...

Messed that up

Wow I only predicted a rise to 140/160 for today

Ok that’s huge leap, but I’m sticking to my bet... still... it’s going to get much higher yet

Based on the fact it is highly transmissible, contagious, airborne, aerosolised and it’s long incubation period, and the fact they quarantined people on the tin can, with people who were likely just not symptomatic

Essentially making it a gas chamber

Half that ship could be infected or as much as 70%

One thing I didn’t look into was how long was it at sea for since it left port?

DO YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT THEY'VE ONLY "TESTED" SO MANY, THEY HAVE NOT TESTED ALL PASSENGERS YET.
I DON'T HAVE THE % OF THE PASSENGERS THAT WAS TESTED ON THIS UPDATE, IT COULD BE EVEN OF THE 100% TESTED, TESTED POSITIVE
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

My exact thoughts. I wish they could test everyone too instead of a lottery draw almost.

I worry about the Universities. 1 have 3 kids, 2 in University and 1 middle school. I'm on the other side other the state though closer to Flint.

Beginning to wonder when risk assessment will truly begin stateside...I work in the medical field, I’m in hospital laboratories daily, I’ve been a microbiologist I’m on domestic flights weekly...and yet I don’t see my peers or other medical professionals even giving it a second thought yet. In casual conversation some workers have expressed concern, but think that the media is over hyping things
Local stores have sold out of surgical masks, but n95s are still around (back asswards) although stores are out of masks, no one seems to be wearing any
At the airports i could count on one hand the number of people wearing any type of face mask, so it doesn’t seem there’s been much panic catching on yet
The facilities I’ve gone haven’t had additional measures other than typical flu warnings that are around every flu season

Just wanted to chime in with what I’ve been able to absorb visually over the last 2 weeks in my area

They also seem very resistant to actually test 100% of passengers. With infection numbers on board rising it’s foolish not to at this point imo

why wouldn't they test everyone all at once? what is the reasoning for not doing so?

I was hoping someone could tell me

Probably resources, i.e. the staff and labs to do the tests?
