Oh my.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Not going to quit stocking shelves last night at Walmart there was a line in the store waiting for the 7pm truck to buy disinfectant spray

For most healthy, younger people this will be nothing more than a nasty bronchial cold.
For a fairly large demographic this is extremely deadly. Those above 65. The danger rises exponentially the older you go from there.
Those who are immunocompromised are at an extreme risk. Ms, Lupus, diabetics all are at higher risk than the normal person. How many people do many of us know that fit into this category? You can't throw a stick around without hitting someone who is diabetic.

Like was said above you can be contagious 2-14 days before you show any symptoms. So if you have it, and don't know it, you go to a function with 20 people. You have potentially contaminated those 20 folks. Say only 10 are exposed. Then those 10 people go out and interact with 20 people. It continues to add upon itself. Now if in those original 10 that were exposed there was 1 that was immunocompromised. They'll be hit hard.

The very sad part, and any in the medical profession will tell you this, a lot of people are very ignorant in coughing, sneezing, spitting, etc etc etc. Think of it this way guys. Go into a men's restroom and just observe the amount of people that leave without washing their hands. It will absolutely floor you.


So closing schools until this has run it's course is a good idea.
From what I'm reading and hearing China is actually starting to recover, albeit slowly, from this.

And here's the kicker, and will probably (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) a lot of people off here.
Pres. Trump, congress, and even some local governments despite the evidence presented to them totally dropped the ball on their initial response to this. POTUS' arrogance in thinking he knew more than the docs and scientists studying it is just astounding.

Where is this happening? How do you expect workers to not tell their family that they're being quarantined who then will tell other friends & relatives and it will be the worst kept secret ever. That's far fetched and something that happens in a communist country which they're are some on here that would like living in one I believe.

PM me and ill give you the details if you want them. It's gonna be fine but right now its worse than is being reported

Elkaholic, drs scientists and "experts" are all playing it by ear moment to moment, because they are learning about this virus . Trump did take immediate action by ther China travel ban which may have slowed the spread in the US.

All cases in NM are presumptive positive meaning the cdc has not confirmed a true positive.

Closing schools in any state will put a huge burden on everything.

Schools closed for 3 weeks here on Monday.
They could have at least waited until the walleye river has all the ice gone.

Can you really stop the spread of this disease? So far, it doesn't appear so. If it is going to run it's course. we are just slowing progress, not saving lives. I think maybe a better solution would be for the vulnerable to isolate themselves?

Yep its a huge burden and pain but pretty sure its just starting. The only way virus would actually be contained is with true national quarantine that limited all movement to primary residence which would be harder for us to pull off in US compared to China. Instead we are practicing social distancing and versions of isolation; i havent heard of any medical quarantines in this state (at least for those that aren't hospitalized) and we are doing a test or two each day from where I work. If the Chinese data is somewhat accurate and things are really slowing there, means its taken them good 8 weeks to get some control. We better hope warm weather is our friend cuz otherwise I think our version of slowing it down is going to be much more prolonged

Here in MN, our high school girl's basketball tournament is on this weekend. The boys would be next weekend as far as I know.

This^^^

No, you can't stop it. You can slow it down by ceasing all travel and mandating everyone stay in their homes, shutting down mail and shipping, closing all businesses and banks, closing hospitals and clinics, etc...

But you can't do that. People need silly stuff like water, food, electricity, medicine, etc... And they need money to get all of those things... And all those things have to be moved from one place to another.

Shutting the world down would lead to a much higher death toll than a stupid respiratory infection ever would.

Anyone who wants to blame the president for not doing enough is either plain stupid or they have an agenda... You might as well blame him for plate tectonics while you're at it.

Get a grip people.

Social distancing is a good remedy for our country with only about 300K of hospital beds open at this time. We are not capable of getting the intense care that hundreds of thousands may need if they become severely ill with Covid 19 or the other flus that are still circulating through the country. Social distancing may cause the outbreak or infectious period to last longer but maybe eliminate many cases and or easier spreading, especially since we are so far behind in getting test kits out to find out who is infected.
