Corona Virus # 3

[Jstpssng]

How about a t-shirt that says "My parents went to China and all I got was this lousy Corona Virus" too soon?

:laughing:

We now have our first reported case in this state... from a woman who

had recently been to a country where the virus is widespread.
She self-isolated at home after returning to Maine with respiratory symptoms

Go figure.

Course material is one thing, the other one is testing. How do you make it so that people can take tests without letting them cheat?

Most universities have software that checks for plagiarism. Now that millions of people have gone to college, though, it's very, very hard to write something original. That's for essays.

For yes/no, A,B,C or all of the above stuff, many universities require the student to go to a monitored test center.

Got a nice picture from a relative today.

It was Hannibal Lector.

The caption was "You don't have to worry about touching your face if you wear someone else's."

And now we have a poll:

"A Harris Poll taken from March 5 to 9 found that seniors are more likely to exhibit more defiant behavior than millennials as the illness continues to spread. The survey found that 81 percent of respondents age 65 and older are still willing to attend family or social gatherings versus 71 percent of millennials.

Overall, eight in 10 Americans are willing to attend social gatherings, the survey found."

Rumor has it here that Washington is going to get locked down... no interstate travel. National Guard will be assisting. That would be drastic but could see it happening based on how fast things are changing. Then wait to see the run on grocery stores!

Travel by boat will be a premium. Works for me. Just like the old days in this area. :thumbsup:

Grand Prix is on here this weekend, maybe!!!!, McLaren have just pulled out and we have abducted Tom Hanks who is being held captive with his wife in a Gold Coast hospital after testing positive.

You all can keep him for a few years.

Washing your hands often is great advice but it's even better if your hands don't get contaminated in the first place...
IMO any public places where a person has to handle something...there should be sanitizer or wipes provided...

Was in town today and a couple unrelated people in different places with a small bottle of sanitizer clipped to their purses. Start of a new fad?

The virus can live for 3 days. You buy some canned goods from the grocery store that were put on the shelf by someone who had the virus and now the virus is on the can for the next 3 days. You wash your hands when you get home but 2 days later you grab the can again and fix a meal in your home. You get infected. There are so many ways . . . .

I may be going out on a limb here...but I suspect that it won't be long before someone comes up with a systemic type spray or compound that actually kills the virus...it should not have to go through typical human testing if it's effective and made from non harmful ingredients etc...it should be available before any human tested vaccine etc..?

Lysol.

Lysol.

Topical is not entirely the same as systemic...
