The school I teach in has a half day tomorrow so they can do a "deep clean."
Literally regurgitating the obvious, but again it's not working (obviously). You're purposing people to stop an ingrained movement (wiping and touching) their face. Most people don't even wash their hands for the 15-20 seconds to kill 95% of the bacteria they're carrying.
Maybe they’re just carriers because apparently healthy children aren’t being tested...
So is it ok if we lick the dumbells?
Leave nothing unlicked.
Now this is getting out of control. My school closed for tomorrow and all of next week. Many surrounding towns are doing the same.
That’s the big thing right there. The main driver behind quarantines is not to stop the virus, just efforts to slow it down enough so that we might have some chance of having critical care beds available to the unfortunate percentage that will require them. Essentially spacing out the sickness so we have somewhere to place them, and healthcare personnel available to treat them.
The thing is, even if schools/universities decided they wanted to try and stay open, the attendance would be so low that there would be no point remaining open anyway
do so at your risk lol
It's true man. 6 years ago I kept pushing and pushing until a couple (yeah ... They ganged up on me. LOL) of Drs insisted that I check myself into the hospital so that I could get treated for what finally turned into some pretty seriously imbedded pneumonia.
here's a conspiracy theory for ya...anyone heard of someone under 50 dying from coronavirus?...it seems that unlike most deadly flu outbreaks coronavirus is apparently only killing the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. guess who the largest consumers of medical costs are?
tool?
haha Sturgill is awesome
I have to take my last two classes online and midterm and finals online. Graduation may be cancelled, too. I have a meeting at work tomorrow and will probably have to work remote afterwards. This is insane!
. I Was in 7th grade at the time and got the swine flu , well, a strain of it. Nearly out for 2 weeks lol. Brutal
This is like getting aids and sars, you gone.Seems like the swine flu was worse and everyone was forced to go to school for that
Yeah, saw that to. Most scary thing is, he said, even when they get things under control in china, when life goes back to normal. When people get back on the bus, trains, back to work ... the virus will start up again. : /
Stats prove everything is blown WAY out of perspective with this virus.Seems like the swine flu was worse and everyone was forced to go to school for that
Don’t get me wrong Corona is a problem, but not if you are under 60 with no preexisting conditions. If you fall into that category (which is most of us on this board) you probably have more probability of getting killed by a drunk driver or maybe since this is a steroid forum a heart attack

Yes, but we can’t compare numbers at this point to a prior pandemic that is already said and done. Things are still at the very early stages and numbers remain low at this time in the US because aggressive measures have been taken on a global scale (some countries more than others). If this virus had been allowed to run rampant without boundaries, it would obviously be much more widespread. Swine flu also had a lower likelihood of person to person transmission than what he have seen from COVID-19- which is highly contagious.

Exactly this. We don’t know **** about this yet. Brace for impact gentlemen.Yes, but we can’t compare numbers at this point to a prior pandemic that is already said and done.

Even with ongoing/upcoming containment efforts, 70-150 million Americans are expected to contract the virus. This is on the low end (up to 45%) in comparison to the predictions other experts have proposed at 40-70% of the US population.
Up to 150 million Americans are expected to contract the coronavirus, congressional doctor says
Monahan made the comments to Senate staff during a closed-door meeting Tuesday afternoon, according to NBC News.
Exactly we don’t know the outcome and therefore shouldn’t panic.! Also, since it is a new strain of the virus and they don’t even know if it will go away during the warm season in a few weeks it is irresponsible to make predictions such as the one in the article that says “... up to 150 million Americans MAY get infected”. Notice the word “MAY” inserted in there?? That is not a very certain prediction to be a basis for alarm.How much would you bet on a prediction if if I were to predict “the Super Bowl next year MAY be the Chiefs verse Rams again“. Notice something? When I put the word “MAY” In my prediction I CANT be wrong regardless of the outcome.
That’s a really good routine, especially if you progress overtime, and do different variations of the exercises.
The gyms closed by you? Where do you live?
enormously less resources went into containing the swine flu than what is being thrown at coronavirus. and unfortunately many children were fatalities.
Most of the deaths are happening in people who have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or underlying chronic lung diseases. Those are all, generally speaking - diabetes being the biggest exception - are overwhelmingly diseases of older individuals.
True, but I guess you have to ask yourself if you care about those who are more vulnerable. If you do, then maybe making sure you don’t contribute to it’s spread may be worth the personal sacrifice of some inconveniencesDon’t get me wrong Corona is a problem, but not if you are under 60 with no preexisting conditions.

officially 11,690 americans died from swine flu in 2009, 1,180 were children.
I wasnt talking about swine flu? You said “why does it (Covid) affect the old” and I answered the question about Covid, not swine flu.
swine flu affected children at a much higher rate than coronavirus. this is why I made the comparison.
