I talked to my mom and she said the vets home where dad is has been under a lock down but they have been letting her visit like she normally does everyday.

Too many idiots.

People need to get a grip and get back to being adults.

IMO, the 6' that they say to stay away from someone possibly infected, is maybe if you're upwind.

We do experiments at work that involve these 3 areas of expertise...Laminar airflow, mist flow involving respirators, and we have a small, low speed clear wind tunnel.

IMO, if you are in a long hallway or corridor, depending on the HVAC design, and someone who has it sneezes or coughs, You are going to be breathing in some micro droplets. The micro droplets do not drop out of the air that fast. Think fog. It takes fog a while to dry/settle/disperse.

Correct.

I'm not concerned about the bug. At all.

I'm concerned about the idiots screwing everything up due to the hype and panic.

wipes have been back ordered now for two weeks so I went to the local grocery store this morning and no problem... Clorox or Lysol...

Is Clorox corp still based in Oakland? Manufactured there?

It is getting interesting... to say the least. Many here on TBN... I think... are fairly well self sufficient, at least for awhile. We are not as reliant on others as the general population. As such (stereotyping) our feelings on this virus tend to be less alarmist than maybe the norm. I think this is a good thing. I find it quite disconcerting that in this day and age that so many are influenced and dependent on what the sensationalist media (concerned about ratings) says. I hope I am not wrong in my assessment here!

All that said, I feel like there must be more to the story that isn't being told, making our governments to react as they have. This is not intended to be political, I just can't compute the data that is out there vs. the actions being taken. Why don't we broadcast statistics for the 'common flu' spreading each year like we are with COVID-19? What am I missing???

Things are sure happening fast... is there an unspoken concern to the general population beyond those already in 'bad shape'? At the end of this, will it be significant or just a blip on the annual mortality rates due to flu/virus? I hope it is a blip.

Local news here has a chart beside the Coronavirus chart showing comparisons between it and flu infections and deaths this season in US every night.

It's new. It's not like the flu. It spreads more rapidly. It overwhelms and has out run ways to contain and test for it.
