Morning folks - Conversation today may be totally up to you.
My internet service has been out for the last 10 hours and intermittent the past 2. If the internet connection stays active I will edit this evening (Thursday) and add some thoughts I was going to post for the OT.
I have a question which you or someone else might know. Do you have to have symptoms to spread the coronavirus, or can you spread it when you are unaware of your infection?
@Lookout
Asymptomatic cases are those who carry the virus but display no symptoms of illness such as fever. There were no immediate further details about the 12 cruise ship cases from the WHO.
WHO epidemiologist Maria van Kerkhove said on Thursday the organization did not believe transmission of the disease by asymptomatic people was a major factor fuelLing its spread.
I'm paying special attention to this due to upcoming travel to Egypt.

so it seems folks without symptoms can spread it, but not as effectively as those with the symptoms.
Good luck with your trip. As summer comes on the virus should decrease.

@Lookout
they don't know. The only thing they've nailed down so far is the structure of the virus (the tech aspect) and that it has disproportionately killed older men and those with compromised immune systems. That is different from annual influenza that also disproportionately impacts very young children, and may not differ for elderly men and women.
What is yet to be determined:
incubation period
contagious period
at what stage the test can identify infection
progression of the illness
So far, the only agreed upon early symptom is a fever. But this isn't being used in public health announcements that would include what to do if one has a fever. In the 2014-15 Ebola epidemic, Liberia became Ebola free before Guinea and Sierra Leone, with an army of "barefoot doctors." Not actually barefoot and not doctors, but minimally trained workers that went into the hotspot communities and checked and recorded the temperatures of the residents every three days. Those that developed a fever were then moved to a quarantine site, given plenty of fluids, and monitored. (Ebola is only contagious after other symptoms develop and it isn't airborne.) And contact tracing was performed to heighten the monitoring of those people.
The panic over CoVid-19 is a direct result of the pathetic public health and medical community communications to the public. (Not helped by the ignorant and stupid statements from the WH.) The simple stuff that everyone can do is overlooked in favor of "we'll test everybody." Except test kits don't exist and can't be rapidly produced for more than a few thousand, a high percentage of Americans can't afford to get tested (thanks to the non-existence of UHC in the US), and the reliability and sensitivity of the test is unknown.
The simple and most effective steps that everyone can take aren't being done. Frequent hand washing and don't touch your face aren't wrong but they are insufficient. Donning masks and slathering oneself with hand sanitizer is stupid as is the panic buying of food staples. Typical American stupidity.

Edited to add that I just saw where AOC was on Seth Meyers Late Night and said we have to unite behind the dimwit nominee to defeat Herr Drumpf. She's been talking to Bernie. So - everyone who tweets, please tweet to AOC that we will not vote blue no matter who - that taking down Herr Drumpf is not the goal - the socialist platform is the goal. Thanks.

@Raggedy Ann
always has very good guests on over important issues that are either ignored or distorted in the msm.
A prime example is recent program about the Julian Assange trial, which is undoubtedly among the most important trials in modern history when it comes down to the issue of the threat to international law, human rights, freedom of speech and freedom of the Press.

I hate it went the internet get's cut off. In my case it's usually cause I can't afford the bill.
The response to virus this has been ignorant, and seems, well, intended that way. So many common sense responses just ignored. Hey, let's let people fly from the cities were the virus is spreading, to the US. Make sure we don't have enough test kits, and make sure they don't work very well. Nice touch don't ya think...
I'm still wondering where the "capitalist innovation" is? Right, I mean come one, what's taking so long? I thought "capitalist" were the gods of the universe?
@RantingRooster
to making money or profits, not with respect to providing goods and services. When the coronavirus hit the news, for example, Jim Bakker was out there on TV flogging a bogus cure almost immediately. A real "cure" or vaccine will take some time, because:
1) there is almost sure to be more money in treatment than prevention
2) it takes actual research scientists doing actual research which requires material
quantities of isolated samples of the pathogen to be obtained/produced in a safe manner

they had a drug that would be effective against COVID19. They had a Go Fund Me page to get it into production. Believe It or Not.
Yeah the story was running on the local news a couple weeks ago. I didn’t send them a penny, due to the aroma of BS. My guess is that it was a warmed-over AIDS drug as such drugs were being used in China to try to fight the virus. Either that or an anti-viral developed for flu.

Needed to take a break from everything so I joined some fellow crew members at a local pub here in my neighborhood to celebrate the birthday of one of my managers. By the time I got there everyone was already in their cups, so when I presented my gag gift, the birthday boy burst out laughing. Can you guess why?
I'm only sorry I didn't record the bunny doing his thing when someone put this little guy on the pool table and watched him leaving amendments along the way. It got a big laugh especially since the people playing pool at the time weren't from our party. Don't know if they thought it was as funny as we did, but they were good sports about it.

I have a question which you or someone else might know. Do you have to have symptoms to spread the coronavirus, or can you spread it when you are unaware of your infection?
Here's Dr Campbell's report from yesterday (19 min)
[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HpU_x9OgQ4]
A couple of cases reported in GA and another in TN. Here it comes ready or not.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
here is some info from an article on Reuters I read
Asymptomatic cases are those who carry the virus but display no symptoms of illness such as fever. There were no immediate further details about the 12 cruise ship cases from the WHO.
WHO epidemiologist Maria van Kerkhove said on Thursday the organization did not believe transmission of the disease by asymptomatic people was a major factor fuelLing its spread.
