I think this is where I will fit in to the post apocalyptic economy.

You guys can horde the guns, medicine, and food. I will be warehousing TP and negioting from the seat of ultimate authority. All will bow down to my porcelain throne. Made all the more important as food stocks wear out and people have to eat worse food.

I will be the equivalent of a trillionaire.

I really worry that the economic effects of this are not being fully considered. Most Apple products are made there and they are a big market. Declines are already evident.

We had two people on a Delta flight through Hawaii show up with it. Can you imagine of it shows up on a domestic flight? Delta from Atlanta to New York? Would be a calamity.

Lets back up a few weeks. 5M was allowed to fly out right before the lockdown in Wuhan. Then in/outbound flights stopped there. The rest of China flights continued. The US allowed for two more weeks flights back and forth before the ban. We are still allowing flights from Japan, Singapore, etc.

There's no mathematical way the US isn't full of people with this stuff or at least criss crossed others with it. My next question would be, then why is there only 15 cases? Misdiagnosed? Testing not really working. People sick taking a week or longer to test positive? Numbers being squashed?

Anybody's guess is as good as mine.

Seen they are starting to get everyone off. This was a terrible Idea to quarantine on a ship that's basically a floating petri dish. They recycle air constantly. Food being brought to them by crew members criss crossing people. Cruisers being allowed out on the decks for an hour or two a day.

Coronavirus Update: More Than 2 Dozen People Quarantined In Westchester County As A Precaution


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — More than two dozen people in Westchester County have been quarantined after possible exposure to novel coronavirus.

County officials say the 26 patients in Westechester are being quarantined as a precaution because even though they haven’t shown any symptoms of the virus, they may have recently been exposed to the illness abroad.

“This is serious, but it’s not reached a stage by which undue speculation is warranted,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said.

Most of the patients are being quarantined in their own homes, and all of them have recently returned to New York from areas where the disease is more prevalent.

“The county is making sure the individuals have everything they need to maintain their separation, their isolation within their homes, so food, medications, whatever they need, we’re ensuring that they have these things,” Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said.

Seems like save a few other countries this virus is being contained to some extent. Certainly not as rampant as in China. Wonder what this could look like in a couple of years of being in circulation though?

If it's going to go viral it will be in the next two months. A few cases now has an incubation period of 34 days.

CDC UPDATE FEBRUARY 14: "BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW NOW, WE BELIEVE THIS VIRUS SPREADS MAINLY FROM PERSON TO PERSON AMONG CLOSE CONTACTS. WHICH IS DEFINED ABOUT SIX FEET. THROUGH RESPIRATORY DROPLETS PRODUCED WHEN AN INFECTED PERSON COUGHS OR SNEEZES. PEOPLE ARE THOUGHT TO BE THE MOST CONTAGIOUS WHEN THEY’RE MOST SYSTEMATIC. THAT’S WHEN THEY’RE THE SICKEST. SOME SPREAD MAY HAPPEN BY TOUCHING THE CONTAMINATED SURFACE AND TOUCHING THE EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH. BUT REMEMBER THIS DOES NOT LAST LONG ON SURFACES. SOME SPREAD MAY HAPPEN BEFORE PEOPLE SHOW SYMPTOMS. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW REPORTS OF THIS WITH THE NEW CORONAVIRUS AND IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES INCLUDING SEASONAL FLU. BUT RIGHT NOW, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THESE LAST TWO FORMS OF TRANSMISSION ARE THE MAIN DRIVER OF SPREAD."

Exactly what I've been saying about the fogging. And a side note, who has trucks sitting there made for spraying that chit??

We have trucks here that do the same thing but they are smaller and they are used for mosquito control. They also use the larger trucks for dust suppression at constructions sites. They spray vaporized water into the air, it sticks to the dust/particles and they fall back down to the ground. My guess is those trucks were originally for the same thing and they just put a different chemicals into the tanks.

The mosquito trucks are pickups. That's a huge commercial truck they have. It's built for that, not retrofitted.

Found it. It's a water cannon to clean the smog out of the air.
