Corona Virus #5

Looking at the chart posted, they're only 2 percent different age wise, so yeah, seems close enough to not be age.
I wonder too then if their healthcare isn't as good, do more end up with other health issues that may cause problems ?

As time goes by and more research is done...it would not be too surprising that they learn there are genetic or other health traits that contribute to either the severity or the mildness of how it effects different people...

There was a study released yesterday that showed people with type A blood were more vulnerable to the more severe symptoms than those with type O blood...I see if I can find the link...

I went and dig a bit further on k0ua's question on why the Germans have so few deaths and found this article that may explain it a bit better:

In North America It will be interesting to see how the vaping epidemic among 14-20 something year olds will adjust the mortality rate among that age group relative to other continents.

Could you bake it in the oven (low enough not to burn it) to sterilize it ?

You could build a plywood box and mount a UV-C light sterilizer like is used in duct systems, stick the mail (or UPS packages, etc) in it and let the UV light do the work.

On a different note, is anyone planning to expand their garden because of this ? I'm trying to talk the Mrs into it.

If mine gets any bigger, I'll have to start selling produce.

...anyone want to guess when the looting is going to start....

It certainly could happen and has before in the SF Bay Area...

As long as there is civility we will soldier on and I have noticed many small acts of kindness the last few days

Not me . . . we always grow enough so the local VFW can distribute it to the needy.
