The masks don't help you from getting a flu or this Corona virus.

They prevent you from spreading the disease through your expectorating coughs/sneezes.

Ian Brownlee, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular Affairs, in Japan has worked in the State Department for years, but he should work there no longer and should lose his pension and any other benefits to which he would have been entitled. Brownlee was ordered not to return those who had contracted the coronavirus by President Trump at the advice of the Center for Disease Control.

That’s when Brownlee decided he was president and not Trump, and he sent all thirteen back to the US on two separate planes. The CDC did not want them returned on the same plane with those not infected with the disease. Brownlee says it was safe because they were kept in an isolation area. The problem is no one knows if the isolation area will work in such a cramped space.

What is thought to be known about this coronavirus/Wuhan Pneumonia, so far:

  • The outbreak began in Wuhan, China. Population ~11 million. The city is now under lock down.
  • According to the CDC the risk to the general American public is considered low at this time.
  • In it's early stages, a minimum of 500+ people have been infected according to the Chinese government, although many believe this be grossly under reported, and that the true number is in the thousands.
  • 17 dead, so far, most of the deceased are 60+ years old, who, more than likely, had already weakened immune systems.
  • While almost all of the cases involve people in China, it has gone international. 1 case in Seattle, perhaps 1 in Mexico, as well as Thailand, Japan, South Korea.
  • It can take many days for it to present itself and then appear as a flu, fever, pneumonia, respiratory illness such as bronchitis, or common cold symptoms.
  • More than likely it was originally transmitted from a wild animal to humans, but is now contagious and apparently mutating. The exact source remains unknown, but bats, snakes, or civets seem to be the most commonly cited culprits in this outbreak. Highly likely it began in an open air animal and seafood market.
  • Some major international airports are already screening passengers who originated from Wuhan.
  • Saturday is Lunar New Year, a busy travel season in China, which could accelerate distribution of the disease

I was unfortunately correct about the crappy run nursing homes and hospitals.  Crappy run nursing home in Seattle and the Kaiser hospitals are average on a good day.    I'll offer another prediction I hope isn't true and is a crazy hot take.  

 

The hammer from Washington will come down shortly after Super Tuesday.  The feds don't want to keep people away from the polls so they will wait until Wednesday or Thursday to announce more cases, more travel restrictions (from South Korea and Italy especially and probably Iran for whoever can still travel there) and the activation of FEMA since besides Washington and Florida, you'll likely have Illinois, Oregon, New York and Georgia (as I expect Atlanta is going to have cases) declare SoE and they will need money to buy supplies and pay an absurd amount of overtime.

Well, if COVID-19 can score 200+ points in a season, I say the Sabres sign it immediately.

Oh sure, sign it to a huge long term contract when it will fade away by April...Sabres will be stuck with a dead contract for years
