I heard today that in Holland they have to re-use the mouth masks in the operation rooms, because of the lack of mouth masks.

So consider masks. One side is you, the other side is a very dirty world, which you are trying to layer on the outside so it doesn't get to you. Smart.

You wear the mask when you get out of car and go into market. When you get back in car, do you remove the mask? Put it where, how? A zip may keep the germs from getting in the car, but the inside of the mask will get the germs from the outside.

Same deal at the house, what do you do with your precious mask?

I have over a dozen N-95s I use when I mow the grass sometimes. They are OK for that, but I think WuFlu 400 may take more. Like avoiding contact with people.

The Forrest Gump Lecture on Molecular Biology.

The Trump sort of-press conference on CoVid19.

Seemed like it was more about Trump's effort to get re-elected.


Iranian Imam's are resolute about their daily prayers - which are like the Daisy Princess - a Petri Dish for Covid 19.

America's version of Muslim prayers - one of Trump's MAGA festivals - also a Petri Dish ?


Wouldn't be surprised to see this virus fell Bernie Sanders, he's big on shaking hands.

C.D.C. Confirms First Possible Community Transmission of Coronavirus in U.S.
A case in California may be the first infection without a known link to travel abroad.

“That would suggest there are other undetected cases out there, and we have already started some low-grade transmission.”

Public health officials said the infected individual was a resident of Solano County, Calif., and was receiving medical care in Sacramento County, but they have not disclosed any other information to protect the patient’s privacy.

Doctors in the patient’s community may want to expand testing for the coronavirus among their patients in order to identify other infected individuals there, Dr. Schaffner said.

“Physicians are going to want to start testing everybody with a fever and a cough,” he said. “They’re going to want to do that and the patients are going to want to do that.”

I hope someone follows this and reports on it. It will be a good barometer of how easily this thing can spread.

My understanding is there are only 3 places here which can test, and that it costs 250 dollars.
Used to be an NSC team for this sort of thing. Bolton was tasked doing away with it.

A vaccine for the regular flu is only mildly effective and they been working on that for decades.

This will go on a few years , it's a biblical level plague....expect in 1 year to be going about your day to day business while a truck comes around to pick up the dead like it's just another Tuesday...."bring out your dead"
