Corona Virus #6

[Diggin It]

Every time I hear about scattering ashes I think of the Big Lebowski scene.

I think of the Bundy picnic episode.

Spain is passing China....is this virus mutating and getting worse? Does it affect different races differently?

China controlled it. Spain and Italy haven't.

I think it's up to the health care quality and how people take it serious or not.

They've been having an hard time trying to keep people from coming outside.

It is a cultural thing. People are VERY social in Spain/Italy. Meeting, kissing friends (on cheek), eating out every night....they are just much more social than Asians and even Americans. Not to mention the smoking % is quite high.

I just asked a 7 year old if he knew why they were out of school...he said yeah...they're out of toilet paper...!

That is funny indeed.

I guess if you have a culture where even the men kiss the men, it could be worse for spreading a virus.

Read a bit about the 1918 FLU which is said to be similar to this one. It lasted THREE Years! It supposedly infected 500 million people and killed 50 million.

We had the first positive I think last Wed but it was an hospital employee and at this point we do not know if it is related to the first case, from the 15th church exposure or from a new source but I am sure the health dept is working out its trail. When COVID-19 patients are near by it makes the news more real.

Plus China did extensive testing, traced contacts of infected cases, and enforced quarantine on contacts. Really enforced! One report said there were doors welded shut to keep people in. I don't know if that meant an infected person's apartment, or the gate into an apartment complex. That's impossible to consider here or in Europe.

Coronavirus test: UK to make 15-minute at-home kits available within days | The Independent

I am interested in this test. If you have the antibodies for COVID-19 that should lower your risks of getting it again hence more peace of mind. The cost may be over the top however.
