The problem I see with this specific Flu virus is it mutates for up to two weeks with out the person even feeling bad, and according to the CDC , it is contagious during the mutation period from human to human.

so everyone of those people who that were even around the two in Cali, could have it right now in its mutation stage, that is a very broad amount of people from the airport check in, TSA, the restroom they may have used and everything in between is now at risk, and have the two week incubation period before it starts kicking their ass, all in while they could be spreading it all over the place.

we will just have to see how this all plays out i guess.

Yup.

There is supposedly one Chinese man in my neck of the woods Brooklyn he said he got out just as Wuhan flights were all cancelled. He did not get checked. But soon as he got home. He self quarantined himself at home. Nice guy. Heroic actually.

They are watching him now. For his symptoms.

Something to think about though.

Remember the Ebola Scare in USA several years back? Whatever happened to that?

Let's just all relax and cross fingers and pray for those infected jn China and here.

Meanwhile I have told my mom to no go out as much now as she is old and is more susceptible .

One other thing.

Doctors from Wuhan said masks are not enough. As virus can be in droplets from caught or sneezing and can enter body via eyes or area if eyes.

they oddest thing with the Ebola scare, all those people that were actually exposed in that apartment he was staying in, none got Ebola, but two nurses did?? Very odd.

yep, all we can do is just pray for those who have it, and wait this out, there is no reason for people to get to scared about the coronavirus , it is another Flu virus , just like all the other ones that introduced themselves to the world, H1N1 and ect, I actually tested positive and had the H1N1 virus, it sucked, high fever and stuff, but wasn’t near as bad as they made it out to be.

Cases are being way unreported...reasons vary I am sure. One in Carolina, one in Tennessee are among the ones I've heard of that I think are unreported. There are many hundreds of cases in the US that are being watched. I'm not a fan of this family of virus...one of its relatives killed my grandfather many years ago (he was 27 and healthy...before the flu that is).

This is a nasty one...highly contagious while carriers are not showing symptoms...leads to a much larger pool of potential people spreading the virus.

agreed, many many many cases are not being reported by China, the US and the countries affected.

this is the type of virus that could flourish through country’s very easily, I hope it doesn’t, but there is absolutely nothing we do, so

I for one will wash my hands more frequently (it is likely it will survive on surfaces for hours if not days) as well as avoid anyone that is ill. Already threw one of my golf buddies out of my garage (post game celebration location) for not covering his mouth when he coughed...as a friend I gave him one warning then got booted when the second infraction occurred. :xf.smile:

Thank you @WhoaDomain.com for bringing our attention to the corona virus outbreak (for better or worse :xf.smile:). I learned on my local news tonight that someone about 40 miles from me is under watch. No telling how this is going to transpire, but it's definitely a good idea to be vigilant about protecting ourselves as much as possible.

Welcome. I'm sorry but from what I have seen online on YouTube. If you see someone convulsing on the street and then dropping face down to the floor?

Please please please. This is not the kind of disease where you can "help". If this scenario happens, I stay clear from that person as they are too far gone. Best thing you can do is go far enough away. But stay away from anyone. Say you are infected and call 911.

Tell people to stay away. Don't go home to your family or friends or anyone.

Of course stay clear of whoever is convulsion.

No time to be a hero if you see it that bad.

I know people's first instinct is to rush to their aid but if they fall like that? Nothing you can do.

Just saying.

You'd only get infected and now there is one more person to worry about

Human to human transmission confirmed in Chicago and now it is declared a global emergency. Americans are told not to travel to China and Russia has closed its border with China. Really...people have to be told NOT to go there!?!?

That's the news reported by the chinese Government to the world...but in reality there are way more unreported cases as the chinese government is hiding it to the public, they don't want people to panic and cause havoc..The numbers are growing by day and it will take a long time for it to peak, meanwhile we don't know how many casualties there will be by then..Let's pray that a vaccine is quickly developed and we all be safe.

Three companies are working on a vaccine already and now Johnson and Johnson.

never underestimate the human compulsion to get something "free".

To go China and get FreeCoronavirus.com and yes the looks like it is registered.

I've waited in line once with my mom as a kid back in the 80's just because there was a line formed.

It was for Government Cheese!:banghead::xf.eek::xf.frown:(y):xf.laugh::xf.grin: The kind made from the leftover stuff after milk is pasteurized.

Super fat and salty. The kind that gives you high blood pressure and a coronary. Thanks Mom.O_o:xf.grin:

True re 'free'. I built my marketing business using that word decades ago...only 'sex' and 'money' had a higher reaction rate.

WOW!?!? someone really did register it!

N95 masks. A Lesson in Price Gouging.


https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...-n95-face-masks-offer-lesson-in-price-gouging

(here's is just part of the article)

College students learn in Economics 101 that a demand curve slopes downward to the right. As demand falls, price falls. As demand rises, price rises. If instead you don’t allow the price to rise — because of your concern about “price gouging” — the quantity offered for sale will fall.

This isn’t complicated, and it’s true in every disaster. I’m willing to pay a lot more for a generator when I know the power is going to be out for a week than I am when the lights are on. If the price is unregulated, the difference in what I would pay in those two situations will bring more generators to market. And depending on the cost to enter the market, the rising price will lead more sellers to bring generators to the disaster site, leading to a larger supply, and eventually a lower price.

What I’ve just offered is the argument offered by most economists and most libertarians (and, certainly, by all libertarian economists) about why bans on so-called price-gouging are a bad idea.

To be sure, there are counter-arguments. At their heart lies the notion that if a demand spike is caused by an unanticipated emergency, allowing sellers to significantly raise prices in response will undercut the morally imperative distributional principle of equal access to necessities. If ten people with the same fatal illness need the two available doses of a life-saving drug, the argument runs, it’s immoral to award the drug to the highest bidders.

This intuitively appealing distributional argument helps explain why anti-price-gouging statutes are both widely supported and strictly enforced. But as with every regulatory regime, it’s important that we consider the cost. Suppose that our concern about equity in distributing the life-saving drug leads us to forbid the producer to raise prices. In that case, unless the government forces production at gunpoint, we’re going to get less of the drug (or the generators or the masks): the very thing we say we want. Certainly we can decide to make that tradeoff. But let’s not pretend there’s no tradeoff to be made.

* * * * * * *

Coda: Whenever I make this argument, whether in the classroom or in print, I’m accused of celebrating the morality of profit over all else. I’m doing no such thing. I’m simply insisting that we not pretend that the solution to a shortage is to insist that producers keep prices low.

Just a thought. If China is the "factory of the world" and the workforce of China is at risk of being infected.

Should we worry about products coming from China that's already here? What if some poor sick Chinese worker already infected went to work to make some iPhones at Foxconn? Or a Samsung Galaxy?

Or a 99 cent item?
