Coronavirus: The Sick Elephant In The Room

Doctor's advice about coronavirus:
醫生關於新型冠狀病毒的建議:

1. It is pretty large in size (cell is about 400-500nm diameter), so any normal mask (not just the N95 feature) should be able to filter it out.
However, when someone who's infected sneezes in front of you, it will take a great 3 meters (about 10 feet) before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
1. 病毒細胞直徑大約400-500納米,任何正常口罩(不一定是N95類型)都可以將病毒細胞過濾出去。當感染者在你面前打噴嚏,病毒細胞會經過橫向距離為3米的拋物線落在地上,之後才會不經過空氣傳播。

2. When the virus drops on metal surface, it will live for at least 12 hours. So remember if you come in contact with any metal surface, wash your hands with soap thoroughly.
2. 當病毒細胞落在金屬表面後會存活12個小時。所以如果你觸碰了金屬表面的話,請記得認真用肥皂或者洗手液洗手。

3. The virus can remain active on fabric for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent should kill the virus. For winter clothing that does not require daily washing, you can put it out under the sun to kill the virus.
3. 病毒在布料上可以存活6到12個小時。普通的洗衣液即可殺死病毒。如果是在衣物無需每天清洗的冬天,將衣服放在太陽下曬一曬可以有助於殺死病毒。

About the symptoms of the pneumonia caused by Coronavirus:
以下是新型冠狀病毒肺炎的癥狀:

1. It will first infect the throat, so the throat will have the dry sore throat feeling which will last for 3 to 4 days
1. 一開始病毒會感染喉嚨,喉嚨會覺得很乾,這種感覺大約持續3-4天。

2. Then the virus will blend into the nasal fluid and drips into the trachea and enter the lungs, causing pneumonia. This process will take 5 to 6 days.
2. 然後病毒會侵入鼻液,再流入氣管,最後進入肺部導致肺炎。這個過程大約持續5-6天。

3. With pneumonia, comes high fever and difficulty in breathing. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You will feel like you are drowning in water. It's important to go seek immediate medical attention if you feel like this.
3. 這個肺炎的表現是高燒和呼吸困難。鼻腔堵塞的感覺跟普通感冒不太一樣,你會覺得有一種溺水無法呼吸的感覺。如果發生這種狀況的話請及時就醫。

About prevention:
關於預防:

1. The most common way of getting infected is by touching things in public, so you must wash your hands frequently. The virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 mins, but a lot can happen in those 5-10 mins (you can rub your eyes or pick your nose unwittingly).
1. 通常最有可能感染的方式是在公共場合觸摸了帶有病毒的物體,所以記得勤洗手。病毒在你手上只會存活5-10分鐘,不過即使是短短的5-10分鐘,也要十分警惕(不要用手揉眼睛或者不自覺地摳鼻子)

2. Aside from washing your hands frequently, you can gargle with Betadine Sore Throat Gargle to eliminate or minimize the germs while they are still in your throat (before dripping down to your lungs).
3. 除了勤洗手之外,還可以用漱口水漱口,這樣可以殺死或者減少存留在喉嚨裏的病菌,防止起落入肺部引起肺炎。

Take extra care and drink plenty of water.
請一定多加小心,記得多喝水。

Since we're being technical, technically, millions are still tens of thousands...
In my world when numbers are 10,000, 20,000,30,000......90,000 they are referred to as tens of thousands and 100,000, 200,000, 300,000......900,000 are referred to as tens of thousands.
I've never seen 1,000,000, 2,000,000,3,000,000....9,000,000 are referred to as tens of thousands — maybe we hang out in different circles.

You got technical, so did i, no big deal. And yes, clearly...

If you know math it’s an eX curve. Typical of pandemic infections.
Yup, one day later we’re up to 250 cases. If this grows exponentially the numbers could get crazy by the end of the month. I don’t see the US being able to implement the draconian measures that China has to get things under control. Especially since we don’t believe in inconvenient science.

Seems to me that the AMP girls have the same incentive as anyone else to avoid the CV.

Coronavirus Wrecking Sex? Porn helps lend a hand...

Of Course You Can Watch Coronavirus Porn on Pornhub
https://decider.com/2020/03/04/coronavirus-porn-pornhub/
Uptick in coronavirus porn videos posted to popular sites like Pornhub and xHamster ... latter is offering free accounts to users in severely affected regions... Quick coronavirus search on Phub got three dozen hits so I stopped skimming.
Why isn't Government promoting porn as a containment plan?

Scenario;
You are diagnosed with Covid and taking a trip to isolation accompanied with your S.O. and loved ones..

The guys in Haz Mat suits come by and are retracing your steps for the past few weeks..

You have visited
4 AMP’s
3 SW and one or two high end gals...

What do you tell?

Just mention being in the area. Workings girls are flooded with germs and viruses of every kind. Odds are, other men with CV also visited, and perhaps are the ones who gave it to you.

I doubt they'd be doing in depth audits at this point. Its too widespread and too many non travelers have caught it for them to even think about tracing every path the virus took.

My take on this whole sorry situation:

This is a case of a flu where no one is vaccinated. In the US on the order of 50% of public is vaccinated against flu — this attenuates the transmission rate of the flu unlike the flu epidemic of 1918 where 600,000 died in a much smaller and much more rural US.
Believe it or not but the corona virus is less virulent than the flu - from china, part of the problem is children have such mild or no symptoms such that transmission is easier to happen as they are still contagious — assume the same in the US.

Some of my recommendations are:

get the flu shot if you haven't yet - if you don't and come down with flu like symptoms you don't know if it is the flu or corona (yeah, yeah, although flu vaccine is only 50% effective - better than nothing and there will be less probability of coming down with flu like symptoms.)

Wash your hands — a lot.

Common sense things (that I have done for years, haven't been sick with regular flu or 24 hour of stomach virus in 30 years and rarely (Once every 2 years or so) get a cold. If I wash my hands I do not use my now clean fingers and hands to : turn off the facet that a zillion guys have used (knuckle or paper towel),open the door to leave a public bathroom (if knob use paper towel, if push plate, my foot or knuckle in the area where peple don't use, push elevator buttons with knuckle — you get the idea — keep your clean fingers away from surfaces that everyone else uses.

Be aware that the press, tv etc benefits when many more people tune in the reading, viewing etc of their media. The more hysterical and breathless they are with their "up to the minute warning" the more people tune in to more.

Live your life — this too shall pass.

And this is why you are aptly named Genius. An engineer with a logical calculated view of the situation. If I could get a bullhorn and yell to the world "calm the fuck down" I would.
