B-Man Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Huh........... World Health Organization director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Monday that the “stigma” surrounding coronavirus was “more dangerous” than the illness itself, and advised people to “calm down.” “Stigma, to be honest, is more dangerous than the virus itself. Fear and panic are dangerous,” he said as reported by the San Diego Union-Tribune. “It’s fine to be concerned and worried, but let’s calm down and do the right things.” Officials were optimistic about the global effort to contain the spread of the illness: Of the 62 countries affected by COVID-19, 55 have fewer than 100 cases. Only four countries have more than 1,000 cases, Tedros said. WHO officials said it is rare to see a respiratory pathogen like this virus that can spread widely in the community but can also be contained. The flu cannot be as easily contained, officials said. “That offers us a glimmer, a ***** of life that this virus can be suppressed and contained,” Mike Ryan, who runs the agency’s emergencies program, said in a briefing Monday. The number of deaths in the U.S. continues to climb, but remains in single digits, as officials grapple with the twin tasks of containing the virus and reassuring the public. . 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 46 minutes ago, B-Man said: CORONAVIRUS: ● Coronavirus in Canada: Travellers from Iran report no screening at Toronto’s Pearson Airport. ● Why are so many new cases of COVID- 19 in Canada linked to travel from Iran? ● Iran’s Death Toll From Coronavirus Jumps to 54, With 978 Infected. ● Iran finds millions of hoarded gloves as coronavirus deaths hit 66. ● Qatar reports its first coronavirus in man who returned from Iran. ● Iranian mullahs reject offer of US Coronavirus aid. (reminder) . Ok, soooo we flew into Pearson a few weeks ago. It was a Sydney to LA to Toronto connection. In Sydney we were asked if we had traveled to China when we checked our bags and when we were ticketed. We were asked again when checked into the gate area. In LAX no one asked us anything about if we had traveled to China. In Toronto, they asked us where we had been, if we had traveled to China, etc. This was about three weeks ago, so China was the big-deal. I have to question if they have really gotten more lax in Toronto about asking about travel outside the country, or not screening planes from China or Iran when they were asking so many questions about where people had been on an incoming flight from the US. 1 2

We were on a bit of a scare as well as our kids' school had a group on an exchange in Italy--several schools in the area did. Those kids are currently on home quarantine, but unfortunately they did not do that until a week after they got home.... 1

Hedge Posted March 4, 2020 Author Posted March 4, 2020 4 hours ago, 3rdnlng said: Releasing 54,000 prisoners seems to be counter productive to the efforts to get this virus in check. Do you have any idea how that might help the situation out? Help it out, as in contain the virus? No, I agree that it seems counterintuitive, nor have I seen any articles that show the Iranian governmental logic behind it. "Security prisoners" who are in jail for 5+ years (no idea if that means original sentence or 5+ to go) are not being released, only prisoners who test negative for COVID-19 and can post bail are eligible. I also wonder if political prisoners are being released. There are rumors of some Iranian prisons getting hit internally extremely hard with the virus. So, this may be a way to try to remove some blood from their hands and let some out to fend for themselves. It's also possible that their prison security apparatus itself has a high number of illnesses/fatalities and they simply do not have the manpower to adequately staff some prisons at this time. 1 1

Buffalo Bills Fan Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-patients-dog-is-likely-first-case-of-human-to-dog-transmission/ A coronavirus patient's pet dog that tested positive for the virus last week is now "likely" the first case of human-to-animal transmission, health authorities said Wednesday. The dog was found to have a low-level infection of the coronavirus after being tested repeatedly for the disease, a spokesperson for Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) said in a statement. The department first tested the dog on February 26 and later detected low levels of coronavirus from its nasal and oral samples a day later. Officials repeated both tests this week, finding it resulted in "weak positive" for the virus. The statement said veterinary health experts were consulted and "unanimously agreed that these results suggest that the dog has a low-level of infection and it is likely to be a case of human-to-animal transmission." I wonder if coronavirus mutated into dog? Is this virus smarter than we think? Who knows maybe time will time?
3rdnlng Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 The above post got me to thinking. Anybody that's been here at least a year will understand my concerns. If a dog can catch the coronavirus from a human shouldn't Boyst's whole herd be tested?
