i have to wear a mask every time i go outside.
i have to disinfect everything when i come home; if i've gone far or somewhere populated I drop everything at the door, strip, shower and then disinfect everything with bleach and/or rubbing alcohol (this was in short supply for quite some time).
it was only this week that my wife and most others were told return to work, in person.
Schools however remain closed with courses being done over the internet. that's what i've been doing.
every public establishment, whether it be a subway, mall, gated residential community, whatever, will check your temperature with a scanner before they allow you to enter. i dont know what happens if you register a fever. i imagine you are detained and forced into a hospital for diagnosis.

not sure what else there is to say. feel free to ask me questions

Are people scared to be forced at the hospital ? are they fearing to catch the disease inthere or to be badly treated ?

Thx. I follow the news every day and believe that this virus will spread all over the globe it's just a matter of time despite all the measures taken. The reason I believe this is 1) the nature of the virus but also 2) that the economic impact will be considered too great by the money men if we see more and more lock downs happening.

Dp you live in a city that's under lock down atm?

I guess many are selling expecting to buy back at the right time. Thus it's still could be in few months.

But it could also be few years, in case the disease trigger a global recession... Which was supposed to happen, COV2 was really, really, badly timed :mellow:

Quote
By choosing not to renew the supplemental package, the CDC will reduce or stop work in 39 of 49 foreign countries [including China] focused on preventing infectious-disease epidemics and other health threats. Slashing those programs, along with financial support for PPHF, which provides infrastructure and support for some of those programs, hampers the CDC’s broader capacity to respond to and contain disease outbreaks.

Such cuts will have serious consequences, Frieden says. “We’re more likely to have to fight dangerous organisms here in the U.S.” And the CDC will have less money than in the past to fight them.


Two year old article but very relevant right now given that the funding hasn't changed.

Rumors are rampant that the death toll is far higher than what is published, that people are being shot in the streets, and that they're cremating bodies to hide the death toll. Does any of this sound plausible to you?
