President Trump on Wednesday lashed out at a journalist during the White House's coronavirus task force briefing.
And it's lucky that you have this group here right here for this problem, or you wouldn't even have a country left. Donald J Trump

The Trump administration cut staff by more than two-thirds at a key U.S. public health agency operating inside China, as part of a larger rollback of U.S.-funded health and science experts on the ground there leading up to the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters has learned.


Both sides though, right? :smh:

South Korea population 51 mill

USA population 327 mill

Why the comparison? One country has a population over 6 times more than the other.

327 million is 6.4 times 51 million.

126 times 6.4 is 806 which is less than 928. That 928 will be 11-1200 by tomorrow, whereas their number will barely move.

Also, our curve is steeper so the disparity will only get larger.

The difference is density of the population. USA may have more people in general but the the land mass is also at least more bigger in area than South Korea and everyone is more spread out. NYS is about the same size as South Korea but hold a 1/3 of Korea’s population.

Come on, we must stop doing this type of comparison between countries. It's ridiculous. There will never be exactly accuracy from country to country, even if you want to compare density or population.

The main factor here is human attitude and behaviour towards social distancing, self isolation and personal hygiene. No statistician or scientist can predict that.

The countries with the more disciplined people and authoritarian regime will always show the better results. It's common sense that when people strictly follow important instructions better results will follow.

That's why our numbers are fucked. We are going to have multiple hot spots. per capita, our shit will be worse. No strategy, every man for himself with an orange fuck boy in charge.

edit to what I said earlier.... Joseph Fair, PHD on Last Word said that UV light from the sun inactivates the virus... so you see a lot less illness in the summer.... you still get them, but far less....
:cheers:

I've been thinking about this, but when I look at places like Africa and South America, where its warmer, it seems like its spreading there as well. One of the medical reporters from NY times said South Florida is going to be like a "Mini-Wuhan"soon

I tend to agree with you. So many factors. South Korea had masks on deck. When the goofy ass WHO was saying people shouldn't wear them, South Korea made sure citizens had access to masks. Japan did the same.

That's important because they later found that this shit is easily spread through the air and that mild cases and asymptomatic folks are helping drive transmission. So one sick person in a mask saves how many others from being infected? Combine the sick people in masks with non-infected individuals and it's no wonder why some places in Asia have fewer infections.

The west got straight played by health experts AND countries not having masks readily available. :smh:

Folks want to compare the U.S. to South Korea but will skip over the more sensible comparison of Italy and South Korea. Italy has universal health care and similar size population as South Korea. The masses in both country responded much differently. Italians didn't listen to quarantine recommendations and overwhelmed their healthcare system as result. Mask use was basically non-existent.

When you have fucked up government response PLUS masses acted dumb you get fucked up results. If it's just one or the other, the place won't be as fucked.

The second he set those bags on his workspace, there goes the sanitization.
He touched the outside of the cereal box, then touched the inside bag to pull it out.
Good tips, but it’s extremely hard to be 100% sterile with ordinary environments.

Personally I’d rather just leave dry goods right in their bags in a corner for a week before touching them. Better than any amount of sanitizing, doesn’t make heavy use of sanitizing supplies that can be hard to find, and an option that anyone can take who has the means to buy ahead.

We have been doing much like that. We take in only the goods that must be kept cold, Lysol and rebag when possible. The dry goods stay out in a hot car for maybe 6 hours. Nothing is perfect, but we need to think this way. The checkers should have hand sanitizer and Lysol for the belt (NOT gloves, which protect them not us.)

Having experience with cleaning infectious sites, what he showed was pointless. Cross contamination is when you touch an infected area(item) and then touch a sterilized area(item)

In the video he was touching contaminated items and sterilized items contaminating them again.

Sanitizing vs disinfecting
Sanitizing is only reducing the number of germs per square inch on a surface. For example, a surface with 1000 germs per sq inch when sprayed with a sanitizer, it may reduce the germs to 600 per sq inch.

A disinfectant kills all of the germs

Problem with the video
Unless you are in the cleaning business you probably won’t have any one step sterilizing cleaning solutions that kills on contact. And if you did, why would you risk spraying that near or around your food?

The Best Solution
Contaminated Side - remove all items from plastic bags and discard bags. Then wash hands.

Use one hand to pick up items and the other hand to wipe items down. (Never allow both hands to touch

You can’t disinfect food
Most chemicals in stores requires an object to be soaked in the solution for 10 to 20 mins in order to disinfect. Not sure about others but I am not using chemicals like that around my food.

what you should do
After bringing in the groceries do the following steps

1) Spray and clean the outside door knob then spray and clean the inside door knob

2.) Place car keys on the floor. Spray with solution and let air dry then wipe down

3) Grab wallet and then wiped down credit cards with cleaning Solution

4.) Remove all items at the door. So take items out of the plastic or paper bag and then discard those bags.

5.) wash hands.

6.) Spray all touch points needed to put up the groceries because you don’t want your touch points to be contaminated only to recontaminate what you just cleaned:
-Refrigerator Handle
-Cabinet knobs
Ect

7.) If you want to wipe down groceries do so at this time but remember one hand it to pick up the item and the other to clean.

8.) wash hands

9.) Put up food

10.) wash hands

10.) Then spray all touch and wash hands

Please Don't Sleep On This Post

For the past few years I have been taking Pure Oregano (or Oil of Oregano)
It helps strengthen your immune system
Its supposed to be Anti-viral, Anti-bacterial, Anti-Microbial, Anti-Fungal
Since taking it like 6 years ago, I've never gotten sick, never had the flu, never even took a flu shot in years
And I can't even remember the last time I got a simple cold
Someone else on here might know a little more about it

I usually buy 2 different bottles:
The first bottle (with the white twist cap) is 100% pure
www.amazon.com/Oregano-Young-Living-Essential-Certified/dp/B00161FHLO/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=young+living+oregano&qid=1585233654&sr=8-2
So you have to dilute it with water or some kind of virgin olive oil
Because that shit will literally burn your skin
I usually mix a few drops (like 4) with a half cup of warm water or tea
The second bottle (with the black dropper/cap) is already pre-dilluted
www.amazon.com/American-Herb-Spice-Strength-Oregano/dp/B0011G0FHK?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1
I usually just rub that straight on my skin

Since this coronavirus shit going around
I've been drinking (like 4 or 5 drops) of the 100% pure oregano with warm water, every morning before I go to work
And also using the dropper to rub a little under my nose, to breath it in for a couple hours at work
Then when I get home from work, I do the same exact thing again
In addition to using hand sanitizer & wipes, etc, etc

Again I can't say for sure if this cures corona
But just look into it & do some research
Its been working for me to help fight off colds, and the flu, etc, etc
No Bullshit Fellas.....but this could possibly save someones life
