At almost the 3 minute mark, idiocracy.   Trump is right, he could shoot someone and not lose his supporters.  It's a ***** religion....

I found a bud Light Orange in the back of the fridge. That's the best I got. Thankfully a solid Robitussin reserve in the medicine cabinet.

He's copying what others call him. At least he changed it up a little and he's not a complete copycat like the other pea in his pod, Tiberius. I used to think TPS was sorta reasonable for a lefty but he's allowed his TDS to come through as it pertains to the coronavirus.

On a different topic but this is interesting.

 

How does the issue of canine influenza apply to dogs imported into the US from other countries?

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/other/canine-flu/keyfacts.html

 

Both of these canine influenza viruses (H3N8 and H3N2), are now considered endemic in dogs in the United States. Additionally, at this time there is no evidence that canine influenza affects humans nor that it has pandemic potential. If there were evidence that canine influenza viruses were able to infect people with the potential for sustained human to human spread, CDC would execute its existing authorities to limit the introduction and/or spread of that pandemic strain either into or within the U.S.

CDC regulations require that dogs be healthy to enter the United States, thus dogs may be denied entry or further evaluated if they look like they are sick with a communicable disease such as canine influenza. CDC can require a veterinary examination at the owner’s expense for dogs that appear sick, or a necropsy (animal autopsy) for dogs that are dead upon arrival in the United States.

Multiple agencies may have regulatory authority over pets such as dogs and cats when they enter the United States. CDC works closely with other federal agencies to protect U.S. borders against diseases in humans that are carried by animals and animal products. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS) has animal health requirementsExternal related to bringing (importing) a pet dog to the United States from a foreign country.

 

Where did canine influenza viruses come from and how long have they been around?

Canine influenza H3N8 viruses originated in horses, spread to dogs, and can now spread between dogs. H3N8 equine influenza (horse flu) viruses have been known to exist in horses for more than 40 years. In 2004, cases of an unknown respiratory illness in dogs (initially greyhounds) were reported in the United States. An investigation showed that this respiratory illness was caused by equine influenza A(H3N8) viruses. Scientists believe this virus jumped species (from horses to dogs) and has adapted to cause illness in dogs and spread among dogs, especially those housed in kennels and shelters. This is now considered a dog-specific, or canine, H3N8 virus. In September 2005, this virus was identified by experts as a “newly emerging pathogen in the dog population” in the United States. It has now been detected in dogs across much of the United States.

Canine influenza H3N2 viruses originated in birds, spread to dogs, and can now spread between dogs. Transmission of H3N2 canine influenza viruses to cats from infected dogs has been reported also. Canine influenza A H3N2 viruses were first detected in dogs in South Korea in 2007, and also have been reported in dogs in China, Thailand, and Canada. H3N2 canine influenza viruses were first detected in the United States in April 2015, and has now been found in more than 30 states. To date, the H3N2 canine viruses reported in the U.S. have been almost genetically identical to canine H3N2 viruses previously reported only in Asia.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_influenza

Influenza A viruses are enveloped, negative sense, single-stranded RNA viruses.[9] Genome analysis has shown that H3N8 was transferred from horses to dogs and then adapted to dogs through point mutations in the genes.[10] The incubation period is two to five days, and viral shedding may occur for seven to ten days following the onset of symptoms.[11] It does not induce a persistent carrier state.

'It's pandemonium': virus panic-buying hits Los Angeles

by Andrew Marszal

Original Article

 

Los Angeles - Sprinting shoppers, rationed mineral water and not a roll of toilet paper to be seen: panic-buying sparked by the new coronavirus soared in Los Angeles this week. Two days after California declared a statewide emergency, wholesale stores visited by AFP on Friday were unable to keep up with soaring demand for a range of staple items, as citizens prepare for the worst. "It's pandemonium -- our numbers are double the usual," said Rene, an employee at a Costco supermarket in Burbank.
