Old Man Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 67000 officially reported Wuhan coronavirus cases, with 1500 deaths. There is evidence that the Chinese government is underreporting cases by a factor of 10, however. Covid-19 fun facts: Persists on inanimate surfaces 4 times as long as influenza Incubation period at least twice as long as influenza Patients asymptomatic during incubation period Patients contagious during incubation period Approximately twice as contagious as influenza Mortality rate 40 times that of influenza Vaccine development efforts for similar viruses such as SARS and MERS have failed for 17 years Who's up for a ride on the subway?

Cancer Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 In this context, it is unspeakably poor taste to remind everyone that "KIA" is an acronym for "killed in action" but I expect nothing else from the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season by season we got to see her and she could be a voice of sanity in a room of self avowed lunatics and nuts in denial. And a voice for diversity long before her time "Doctor, could you put that in ethnic measurements I can understand?" and damn it, she was indeed cute as a button!

Duke Bushido Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 It does seem to suggest that should he come up positive and spread it about, it'll tear through like wildfire, because Oregonians evidently brook no truck with quarantine.......
