yes
and now that there appears to be a clear nominee
and that it's Joe, I'm thinking Obama will get off the sideline
he's still immensely popular and can't think of a stronger anti-Trump

Man I'd hate to be found out (or mislabeled) as Patient Zero in that state....USA Today newsflash headline "New York's outbreak may have come from Europe"
y'all just figuring this out now?
I am surprised at how polite stores are being about some of the rules. At costco yesterday they had a sign up that paraphrased said "If you have a cough, if you came back into the country less than 14 days ago or if (I forget the third one), we ask that you reconsider coming into the store". Reconsider? wtf? If you got back into the country less than 14 days ago, go tf home and stay there you stupid pos. If we discover any of our members have violated this law, their membership will be immediately cancelled and they will never be eligible again.
Oh my we are running out of disinfectant wipes, what are we going to do! The active ingredient in those things is Ethanol, where are we Ever going to find some of that magic stuff
It's actually Ammonium Chloride in most of the name brand stuff.
The small disposable wipes and such use Isopropyl alcohol.
Ethanol is usually only used in the liquid style hand sanitizers. It doesn't work well in wipes as the alcohol can evaporate before the wipe is used leaving little or no actual sanitizing agent.
While I agree with that, I've had issues where my non-COVID dry cough (every year this time of year) almost prevented me from getting on a flight. This cough lasts months so technically I'd not be able to fly, or go into a store for 3-4 months. I'm not sure what it is from but I've had it this time of year since I was a kid.
Thankfully the doctor answered my call on a Friday night and emailed Air Canada right away to confirm I'm safe to fly.

I get the same as did my mother. Smokers cough for others. Sure clears space if you can take the hate stares.
I don't think a blanket restriction on coughers is reasonable. Maybe coughers wear a mask is a good compromise? Even if they don't have it, I could see people freaking out so it just gives everyone a level of comfort. My main issue was they lumped in violating the 14 day self-isolation as a similar item. It is not similar, it is law. Go tf home.
Here's an undated shot of a mass burial which is described for COVID-19. Apparently this is a temporary burial while the morgues catch up.
Read some of the history of this island, very interesting and a LOT of people buried there without families to claim the bodies, or people that just can't afford a burial.
@GreyGhost That's what AC asked me to do. 'Just keep your mask on and try not to cough to freak out the others.' In a plane at 10% capacity, it was easy to just stay away from everyone and I kept candy on hand to keep from coughing. In Vancouver I just spent thee 3hrs b/w flights walking around the terminal to prevent anyone from getting too close. Plane was also at 10% capacity so really easy to keep away from everyone.

Sadly, that could be just the homeless that have died. Although the very shallow depth of burial does strongly suggest it is temporary. I am surprised they didn't appear to do anything to make them easy to pull up (plywood/poly over the top or ropes underneath). Getting those out again without breaking open the top boxes will be a pita.

Not sure what the point is if ultimately they get the job done.
We could be all sanitizing our hands with 100% alcohol right now, but it's been proven that much lower percentages work effectively.
Federal modeling released. I don't like it at all. It assumes that death scales linearly with cases. I think that is a horrendously wrong assumption. Tam has been all over the place recently. I'm not sure she is up to the task.

"Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says that while there are regional differences between outbreaks in different provinces, her team suggests somewhere between 2.5 and 5 per cent of Canada’s population will eventually become infected with the novel coronavirus.
With 2.5 per cent of the population infected, Canada would see 934,000 cases, 23,000 patients admitted to intensive care units, and 11,000 deaths.
With 5 per cent of the population infected, Canada would see 1,879,000 cases, 46,000 admissions to intensive care units and 22,000 deaths.
At its worst, Tam and her team say the pandemic could continue at least in some limited form until the spring of 2021, but could largely end by the fall if current measures remain in place. "

its close to ammonium chloride but not quite. Benzalkonium chloride.
