Coronavirus

Speaking of Cuomo gotta love how the media hasn’t mentioned his harassment of an aide

I guess they figure no point cuz nobody gave a rats ass about donnie's indiscretions so why would anybody care?

Right, because Billy's indiscretions were regarded so critically. :rolleyes:

But, you know, the guy YOU don't like was the only one who set the precedent.

Is this proof that there is a God?

Wife told me about this story, the women who brought this man on the plane should be prosecuted

or wait until the plane hits - oh - 30,000 feet then show him the exit

I wonder what the SWINE flu would have shown in stats if we tracked it as closely as COVID 19.

:unsure:

The last place that I would expect it to appear - but it does do well in the cold.
I guess their screening protocols for arrivals didn't go as planned.

The Sargento Aldea arrived at the research station on 27 November and sailed back to Chile on 10 December.

Three of its crew tested positive upon their return to the Chilean naval base in Talcahuano.

Chile's navy said all of those who had embarked on the trip to the Antarctic had been given PCR tests and all the results had been negative.*

As Roccus7 has advised, viruses in laboratories are kept in refrigerators for further study.

Reading the article regarding the supply ship, I think it's interesting that the crew of the ship were tested prior to departing on the supply mission, yet it sounds like at least three were infected, & brought the virus to the research station. Does this mean they had false negative tests, or had they been infected just prior to being tested & it didn't show up yet? This just adds to the list of unknowns regarding this virus, unless I'm misunderstanding the article.

It's a great example of controlled environments - and still the testing didn't work. The only thing that I can think of is that they missed decontamination of the ship and some crew members picked it up by touching something. Sort of flies in the face of the below, but the boat surfaces were probably very cold.

*With no signs of the coronavirus [pandemic]('https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/features/what-is-pandemic') letting up, protecting yourself from germs is as important as ever. But we now know that the virus that causes COVID-19 mainly [spreads]('https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html') through respiratory droplets in the air. So can you really catch COVID-19 from touching a cereal box you bought at the supermarket, or a package delivered to your door?
It is theoretically possible, but highly unlikely, says Dean Blumberg, MD, chief of pediatric infectious diseases at UC Davis Children's Hospital. "You'd need a unique sequence of events," he says. First, someone would need to get a large enough amount of the virus on a surface to cause infection. Then, the virus would need to survive long enough for you to touch that surface and get some on your hands. Then, without washing your hands, you'd have to touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.*
[HEADING=1]Coronavirus on Surfaces[/HEADING]
*Researchers have found that the coronavirus can stay alive on surfaces. A New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) [study]('https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2004973') from April showed that the new coronavirus can survive on plastic and stainless steel for up to 3 days, and on cardboard for up to 1 day. Another study from China found that the virus can travel on the soles of shoes.

But the results of [studies]('https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7333993/') like this one have led some people to exaggerate the risk of COVID-19 transmission, says Emanuel Goldman, PhD, a professor of microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular genetics at the New Jersey Medical School of Rutgers University. In a response published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases this past May, he wrote that the NEJM [study]('https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7333993/') used much higher concentrations of the virus than people would find in the real world.

"In my opinion, the chance of transmission through inanimate surfaces is very small, and only in instances where an infected person coughs or sneezes on the surface, and someone else touches that surface soon after the [cough]('https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/overview') or [sneeze]('https://www.webmd.com/allergies/features/11-surprising-sneezing-facts') (within 1-2 hours)," Goldman wrote. Basically, it would take the perfect combination of events Blumberg described to get sick from touching something contaminated with the virus.

Also, studies have only proved that the virus stays alive on surfaces -- not that you can catch it from touching those surfaces. "They don't prove that just because it can survive on a surface, it can be transmitted that way," Blumberg says.
In late May, the [CDC]('https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2020/s0522-cdc-updates-covid-transmission.html') updated its website to say it's possible, but [unlikely]('https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-covid-spreads.html'), for people to catch the virus this way. Surface transmission may have played a role in two cases. A recent[ study]('https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/9/20-1798_article?deliveryName=USCDC_333-DM32083#tnF1') from China documented possible transmission through an elevator button, and another [study]('https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/study-tells-remarkable-story-about-covid-19-s-deadly-rampage-through-south-african') of cases in a South African hospital found that contaminated medical equipment may have helped spread the virus.[/I]

Ocean State Job Lot has/had a great deal going on. I brought in $50 in quarters and got gift cards for $70.

I think it's less if you agree to credit it to a store gift card.
