IMO...They should be questioning anyone buying OTC cold medicines, cough syrups etc...

We have our hoard of those supplies now.

Abstract stating that SARS-COV-2 has evolved into two versions, L & S with different characteristics.

Perhaps that is why there were people who were "cleared" and then "reinfected" after having gotten over it, they first had the L variant and now have the S variant or visa versa?

The Coronavirus Is Sparing Kids, But Health Experts Aren't Sure Why

A couple of points I've read, veracity undetermined:

1) Ebola is transferred from people at the visibly sick phase. So not relevant for Coronavirus.

2) Kirkland hospital chain was unique in aggressively testing its staff and patients immediately. Also Washington state health authorities had University of Washington develop a test before that was available elsewhere. So ... Washington's high numbers might just reflect early testing. Might. I'm not sure that is an explanation.

IT does have something in common with what they call "butter" that they put on popcorn at movie theaters...

...it starts off as a powder (until they heat it up)...

Oh, and if anyone feels I am interrupting the "scare party" about the virus, let me know, as I can "cease and desist" easily.

But I ain't scary, about this virus or the myriad of others we have been faced with in recent years (MERS, SARS, Swine "piggy" flu, Bird flu, you name it). I didn't get excited about them and I am not getting excited about this one. Ebola, well that was a bit scarier, as if you got it, you chances weren't all that good. Oh sure people got it and survived, and your chances are better today, but it was a heck of a lot more concerning than this thing. And how many people here died from that? Some. But you are going to die of something. Even a fast moving Chevy could take you out pretty quickly.

I'm not scared either but being close to the problem here in Washington with family extremely close, I am paying more attention and also with frequent visits and interactions with Chinese and Koreans, I feel I need to stay well informed.

I kind of hope you are kidding here. And who is they? The person working the cash register? You think everyone should fill out a survey if they buy cold medicine? Then what?
