Well, we clean our floors every night before we go to bed. It is lot of work on the tongue but every thing shines come morning. I think that is how it gets from floor to lungs.
Honestly, my kid likes to wrap himself in a blanket and walk around the house like that, dragon it on the floor. He then jumps on the couch and cuddles up, or into bed, with the same blanket. It drives me nuts. But a virus could theoretically go from shoe, to floor, to blanket, to nose.

Today's WTF.
430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced https://nyti.ms/3bUTtQn
"Since Chinese officials disclosed the outbreak of a mysterious pneumonialike illness to international health officials on New Year’s Eve, at least 430,000 people have arrived in the United States on direct flights from China, including nearly 40,000 in the two months after President Trump imposed restrictions on such travel, according to an analysis of data collected in both countries.
The bulk of the passengers, who were of multiple nationalities, arrived in January, at airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Newark and Detroit. Thousands of them flew directly from Wuhan, the center of the coronavirus outbreak, as American public health officials were only beginning to assess the risks to the United States.
Flights continued this past week, the data show, with passengers traveling from Beijing to Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, under rules that exempt Americans and some others from the clampdown that took effect on Feb. 2. In all, 279 flights from China have arrived in the United States since then, and screening procedures have been uneven, interviews show.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly suggested that his travel measures impeded the virus’s spread in the United States. “I do think we were very early, but I also think that we were very smart, because we stopped China,” he said at a briefing on Tuesday, adding, “That was probably the biggest decision we made so far.” Last month, he said, “We’re the ones that kept China out of here.”"

Talk to another friend the other day who I hadn't heard from in a while, "Yeah, I was home for like 3 weeks last month. Doctor said it was pneumonia."
Another healthy 30 something that randomly had pneumonia in the last two months. Seriously?

Yes. And we let them in. With no checks, no quarantine. That is not how a smart country handles their shit when another country has an outbreak. Go ahead and blame that on China instead of taking responsibility at home.
Did you forget the CDC had a virologist in Wuhan up until July when this administrations stopped that program and brought her home. She was there for early detection, but that program was considered not worth spending money on, cause we need tax breaks for the rich.
Your linked words "screening procedures have been uneven". We sent PPE out of the country all of January and February. We did not check people coming in. We closed down our air traffic from Europe only after things were endemic there. These are all fails.
But go ahead an jut blame China. They were a colossal fuck up, but ours was more colossal. Biggly colossal even.

Oh and BTW, that is Mr. Dumbfuck to you.
I had a boss by the name of Lahey when I was in HS. I was working at the hardware store with him. He was a real prick.
I used to dip his coffee cup in the pissed in and not flushed toilet and put it back in the rack for him to use. Gave me a great deal of pleasure to watch him pour a steaming cuppa Joe. Wish I had of known of the dog shit on door handles gambit.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Depends how you are defining wet market. Restriction of wild animal trade is different:
China Is Reopening Its Wet Markets. That's Good
Hold the outrage. Far from being cesspits of disease, they provide clean, fresh produce
Only a small minority of wet markets sell such exotica, though, so you can close down the wild animal trade without shutting the places where most Chinese people get their daily sustenance. And don't overlook the possibility that a key ingredient in Covid-19's genetic cocktail isn’t wild game, but domesticated livestock. The high-density conditions on farms are far more conducive to cooking up novel diseases, as we've written — and even pangolins are farmed in China these days..

Chinese Rat Flu
I don’t mind a copay. $15 for my ankle surgery is fine. It can help keep people going in for nothing, but low enough to not avoid going in when needed.
Okay. New virus fighting strategy. Everyone yell, “close the wet markets” really really loudly. Then this thing will be all fixed.
For fucks sake, Vail and Alterra were more proactive in fighting this pandemic than the US government. How anyone can not be pissed off at our piss poor reaction is dumbfounding.
How many people has this administration allowed to die because of terrible emergency management? That is the real question.
Oh, but China. There government fucking sucks and can not be trusted. Did you not know that? Is that news to you? Then you are an idiot, just like our leader who was telling us all it was all under control cause China is doing a great job. Wake the fuck up. We fucked up on this. Biggly.
It was us who let us spread though our country. We can not blame that on anyone else.

So fucking pissed we’re in this situation when you look at how places like South Korea handled it. How anyone can defend this administration’s response is beyond my level of comprehension.

Imagine being that virologist. I hope she doesn't stay up at night thinking "what if" when it was beyond her control.
The US totally dropped the ball on preparedness and response. That is not in dispute.
That doesn't mean that China isn't the owner of the largest portion of the blame. There is a reason that China is the greatest world source for emerging disease including novel coronaviruses and influenza strains. It is more institutional than it is structural or cultural.Originally Posted by blurred

Chinese Rat Flu
Haven’t heard anything about the hydroxychloriquine trials going on in NY and other places. I guess they’re not really helping?
