The above article confuses me. First it says that the HIV drug has "been effective in a smattering of cases"...and then it says that the "the first wave of Chinese patients did very, very well when treated with the drug". Is a "wave of patients" the same as a 'smattering'?

Not even one death per State now. Whatever is being done is working.

Personally, I think it is awareness and self-isolation which could be called quarantine.


I hope this blows over.

Yes, doing your best not to intermingle with others is rule #1.
It is our main weapon against spreading that we have available.

.............7,154 deaths world wide.
7,771,415,000 alive and rising every second, world wide.

And fatality rate is dropping and will continue to drop.

Event 201 was a 3.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions, confronting difficult, true-to-life dilemmas associated with response to a hypothetical, but scientifically plausible, pandemic. 15 global business, government, and public health leaders were players in the simulation exercise that highlighted unresolved real-world policy and economic issues that could be solved with sufficient political will, financial investment, and attention now and in the future.
The exercise consisted of pre-recorded news broadcasts, live “staff” briefings, and moderated discussions on specific topics. These issues were carefully designed in a compelling narrative that educated the participants and the audience.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation jointly propose these recommendations.

This explains a lot, Bill Gates is worth $100 Billion WOW.

Why has not a single health care worker, nurse or doctor been infected yet?
There are thousands of them on the front lines daily for months and not 1 infected or under quarantine?
The odds of that are staggering.

Is this a huge planned hoax? And who was/is behind it?

San Fransico has basically imposed martial law on its citizens.
With only 40 infected and 0 deaths. WTH.

they have, an emergency room doctor in their 40's near Seattle is in critical condition

a least a couple dead in China

[woodtoo]

ONE health care worker infected, time to shut down all hospitals and send everyone home, there could be lawsuits.

I am lucky enough to work for a major corporation who is allowing me to stay home with pay and avoid people.

I wish I had a drive thru. Noon today laying off about 40-45 people.

I have an option to opt out of my franchise over the next ten days (just happen to be renewal time) so I am going to be looking at things hard.

I think my wife is going to want to stick it out though. I don’t think I’ll go bankrupt (depends how long this lasts) but I’ll be clawing my way through......business wise.
