COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)
- Thread starter null
- Start date
So CDC scientist guy called out Trump in person at a conference.
-Said there's no vaccine for this shyt & due to funding & research they don't see a viable vaccine for at least a year to a year & a half.
-Citizens need to educate themselves to protect themselves better.
-This will spread & more people will get sick & die.
-Then president isn't giving the most accurate information.
So there you have it. CDC scientist guy said our president is a lying fukk boy & his budget cuts & fukkery made them totally unprepared to handle this shyt. & I guess like 4 more people died yesterday, don't know for sure. People on they own out here.

Watched a few minutes of that CDC conference thing that’s going on now..and these govt official people are seriously asking questions like “should we be encouraging people on planes to cover their nose and mouth while sneezing?” ....these are the type of people we getting our information from...scary

really shows the absurd level of incompetence from these government officials and agencies. The lack of testing, too strict of testing requirements early on when that is the important phase and still now, the bungling of quarantined patients and releasing them, not handing infected folks with properly clothed healthcare workers etc. I expected that from trump, I didn’t expect it from everyone else. Figured there would be at least a bit of efficiency and ability to scale up fairly quick

shyt might get real in the coming weeks.
shyt might get real in the coming weeks.Bodies will be getting burnt to ashes in the open street within 3 months time
You have a grossly incompetent administration that lies excessively, has a severely fragile ego and has told the medical and virology experts to rout information through the WH..
This is when American's will realize your actual vote is actually a matter of life or death and not some game like supporting the Knicks or Lakers
The Obama administration wouldn't have fukked up this bad..no way.

Wouldn't have fukked it up? The Obama administration had the infrastructure in place to handle all of this. Guess what the Trump administration did like the petty bytches they are

... that was a joke. Got a good laugh from the room too.
the senate was cooking them because they pretty much have to say everything that’s the exact opposite of what Trump has been claiming
I'm in Brooklyn right now and this shyt lightweight. I was also on the subways. No one panicking lol. However I am taking caution. Washing my hands constantly and avoiding these nasty ass cacs. Also make sure u wipe down ur phones.
you were deep in that can of sardines also known as the subway..The coronavirus could pass between people who are up to 6 feet apart, the CDC warns

- The CDC suggests you stay at least 6 feet away from anyone who appears sick to minimize the risk of getting the new coronavirus.
- The virus passes primarily through saliva and mucus, which can travel from a person's nose or mouth about 3 to 5 feet, depending on the size of the droplet.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
That's because the viral particles travel between people in tiny droplets or saliva and mucus, which typically spread 3 to 5 feet. If a sick person sneezes, coughs, or eats within that distance of someone healthy, the particles could land on them; if the particles enter the person's eyes, nose, or mouth, the person can become infected.

Scientists think the new coronavirus is carried in liquid droplets more than 5 micrometers in diameter. The common cold, which is also a coronavirus, travels in these big, wet droplets, too.
Scientists aren't sure whether the coronavirus also travels in smaller, drier droplets known as aerosols (which are less than 5 micrometers in diameter). Aerosols remain airborne for longer because of their size and are usually inhaled. Tuberculosis and measles are mainly transmitted through aerosols. Even if the coronavirus does travel in aerosols, though, it's not the main mechanism of transmission.

The wide range there depends on factors like the type of surface and temperature or humidity of the surrounding environment. (The length of time a virus survives on a surface also depends on what kind of droplet it's traveling in — saliva, phlegm, or aerosol.)
"But I will say on other surfaces — cardboard or plastic — it's longer, and so we are looking at this," Redfield added.
A review of 22 studies of other coronaviruses found that at room temperature, human coronaviruses could remain infectious on inanimate surfaces for up to nine days. But the paper also said the viruses could be rendered inactive by common disinfectants and temperatures higher than 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

In addition, the CDC recommends that people exhibiting flu-like symptoms stay home. If a person with flu-like symptoms does need to go out, they should also wear a mask, the CDC says.

The coronavirus has infected more than 89,000 people and killed more than 3,000 in total. Cases have been reported in at least 69 countries beyond China.
The US has reported nearly 100 coronavirus cases and six deaths.

Six feet. That's how far the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests you stay from anyone who might be sick.

Avoid touching your face at all costs..
Invest in a full hazmat suit whilst you still can, and go about your life..
