Get the flu every year, know its a crap shoot they guess based on early info from China and if they guess wrong oh well life is a roll of the dice every day.Just did Friday flu and PPSV22 (pneumococcal pneumonia vax)

Even if we self quarantine, realistically, how many N95 masks do we need for a year's supply? How many will we need next year if this thing isn't brought under control? Sooner or later, we'll all find ourselves having to break our own quarantines to go out and restock our food supplies. I know for myself that I may be thinking in too short of terms about the virus. I try to plan ahead, but am still hoping that it's not as bad as the predictions are.
If you have not been exposed, and have isolated yourself, you are not quarantined. You are cloistered and you have no need for a mask because you have isolated yourself.
If you are self quarantined you need precisely zero masks of any kind because you are supposed to be quarantined.
Since you are planning on masks, you are admitting that you have no intention of self quarantine. Thank you for the warning.
You only need to self quarantine for 14 days after you have been exposed. If during that time, you develop the symptoms you don't need a mask because you no longer give a shit (realistically speaking)
Trump just signed an agreement with China to buy our beef, and we'll buy their cooked chicken.
DO NOT BUY ANY CHICKEN THAT HAS BEEN PRECOOKED, AND DO NOT EAT CHICKEN IN ANY RESTAURANTS.
For two years, I need precisely 24. One for each time I get a SS check.I'm sorry. You missed the whole intent of my post. Never mind! I don't have the time to explain it to you.
Not all of them were available to the public either - I had a friend in college (mature student) whose father had died towards the end of WWII, they died of something usually curable with antibiotics but they (the one he needed anyway) had not been approved for general use until about 6 months later.Not arguing but there is a slight misconception in that statement.
Antibiotics was invented in 1929, and was used widely by 1930. However, many to most people didn't seek out a doctor, until it was nearly to late to do anything about it. There are probably two reasons for that. 1) lack of knowledge of it's existence 2) money, after all it was during the height of the depression.
Just saying.

When I was a young child our Dr. made house calls and you paid what you could. Lack of money never kept him from seeing a sick child or adult for that matter. I think my Mom said he charged 2 dollars
If you could afford it. How times change.
My advice Do not buy any food or drink from China

I'm going to the store today. If I see the manager I'm going to ask him if he can post country of origin info for as many products as he knows. I'm sure he will likely decline. He lets the homeless eat from the hot bar with their bare hands (including lickiing their fingers before they go back for more). He's food service negligent.
Trump doesn't even try to make a good liar. I don't know what he knows, but he knows full well that warm weather is not going to kill it. COVID19 is spreading in Singapore. THE TEMPERATURE IN SINGAPORE RIGHT NOW IS 80 DEGREES.

Never had it, never will.Just curious... How many on this thread got a flu shot this year?
Took a minute from self obsessed doomer concerns and thought about the people in Wuhan.
They are sick are probably knows someone who is sick. They have been turned away from hospitals after waiting hours in line with other people sick only to told hospital us full or no testing available go home.
They have seen people drop dead and the vans driving away bodies.
They have seen people kicking and screaming dragged away to wherever.
They are told only one person may go out and now nobody can.
The local committee of party thugs many (think if the seething unpopular kid) loving their new power now can lock you in your home lock you in your apartment and whatever you need to survive you have to get from them. Now they roam the streets empowered by the government to do whatever they want to protect the state. Maybe they don’t like you and ‘forget’ to give you rice or make you pay for it with something of value or some favor.
And as things get worse and you are locked and isolated information is blocked to protect the CCP.
Since there are still new infections in reality the quarantine clock for these cities should be resetting back to zero for another 30 or so days.
I saw a video from China showing what looked like a hospital putting the bodies of 3 children into a single body bag.
Wuhan is a human tragedy of suffering and sorrow that was made infinitely worse by a centralized form of government that many clueless leftists want to bring here.

Sorry for the delay in the response!Question for rondaben ….
The Chinese are claiming that they're curing patients in critical "near death" condition now by administering plasma from previously recovered Covid-19 patients.
Ok, that's a valid method that might work....
However, I seem to recall from my university days (back in the dark ages) that RNA virus replication is error prone, meaning there's going to be substantial amount of mutation going on from patient #1 onwards.
So, plasma taken from patient #53 (for example) with antibodies against that particular strain might have little to no effect on the evolved virus presented in a patient further along the evolutionary chain. Am I right, or wrong about this?
You know the definitions, and we know the definitions. None of that matters, because our local, state, and federal decision makers DON'T know the definitions.If you have not been exposed, and have isolated yourself, you are not quarantined. You are cloistered and you have no need for a mask because you have isolated yourself.
If you are self quarantined you need precisely zero masks of any kind because you are supposed to be quarantined.

So we become vampires and drain the blood of those who survive to create more survivors....??Sorry for the delay in the response!
The use of "convalescent plasma" as a treatment was first used in the 1970s for ebola. They used it this last time as well when the Dr. from Texas that recovered provided plasma for others. I think that this could be of marginal use but it presents other problems as well.
1) the plasma has to be type specific. Type O can only get plasma from type O. Those who are type AB can give to anyone, etc.
2) It is less processed and remaining virus particles or other infectious diseases (hepatitis, HIV, etc) can be transmitted. There will need to be extensive testing on those patients to make sure that it is safe to give.
3) There is no standardized concentration of beneficial antibodies. Patient X may have a higher antibody content than Patient Y so there cannot be any real standardization of how much antibody you get.
4) we have other products that may be effective and safer--IVIG for example.
I do think that this mostly to provide hope. Its not a bad Idea, but I doubt we have enough information to know how effective or safe it would be.
Good Lord how gross!!!
He should be shut down from the Board of Health.
I had it in late 2019. As I did for the last 35-40 years. Have also had the pneumonia vaccination and shingles (Shingrix) vax as well. I'm still here and no ill effects noted. But I'm also making a batch of Summerthyme's elderberry syrup this weekend too. It tastes great and can't hurt.
Not I but then I never do.Just curious... How many on this thread got a flu shot this year?

I did, as I do every year, at the earliest opportunity. It's a personal choice--nothing more, nothing less. Got in the habit years ago when MIL developed issues and couldn't tolerate it. Close family got vaccinated to form a ring of protection around her. (She passed at age 99+, healthy but worn out.) The only less-than-stellar reaction I've had is the year I got FluMist instead of the regular shot. Won't make that error again.Just curious... How many on this thread got a flu shot this year?

I find it interesting the death tolls from coronavirus in different numbers has started to accelerate this past week. This stuff isn't going to burn out with the coming of hot weather. Rather, it will remain active, maybe at a slower rate but when fall comes the stuff will ramp back up with a vengeance. Like the Spanish flu of 1918, one round light, one round heavy, one round light etc. This stuff ain't going anywhere.
You know the definitions, and we know the definitions. None of that matters, because our local, state, and federal decision makers DON'T know the definitions.
Our government is formed by the process of: "Those least equipped to decide, electing those least qualified to lead." Our current leadership, across the country, appears to think that the simple act of bestowing the WORD "Quarantine" upon someone, magically disinfects them... I have yet to see a genuine example of quarantine here in the USA.
The CDC and HHS are political organizations that are far too concerned about their comfy chairs and corner offices, and, how to smear DJT with this bug, to bother with actually implementing time-tested infection controls. They WILL NOT address this pandemic properly - if anything, they will do all in their power to use it as a platform to increase their power and wealth.
This bug is going to go through the USA like crap through a goose; our leaders at all levels, and our entitled fellow citizens guarantee that. It is already here. It is spreading. The time for effective action was over a month ago. And, unless you have already buttoned-up for a six-month (plus) stint of total isolation, you may already have been exposed - you won't know for two or three weeks after your last human interaction (including the mail and amazon packages on your doorstep)... No amount of semantics is going to change any of that.
For the most part, ALL of our lives are a crap-shoot from this point forward. Most of us, due to monthly bills and the threat of civil penalty, will continue to go to work and send our kids to school. There will come a point (far too late) when .gov suspends the systemic penalties, and directs us to stay at home - THAT is when we find out who is lucky, and who is dead... Things go downhill from there.

Saw a video a billion pages back that isopropyl alcohol bottles are going for over $100.00 in China...
There is probably a reason... I'll go with the higher concentrate until definitive proof that this is just another run-of-the mill virus that reacts like everything you would learn about in nursing school.
For me... I'm assuming it is a bio-weapon, at this point
