    If I was 30 and wanted to go on a cruise I'd offer them $500 for a two room suite and they'd take it.

    Michael Osterholm is a clown? Based on what? He isn't even mentioned in your obviously very scientific blog post. Guy is a scientist who has dedicated his life to studying infectious diseases and you malign him as a clown... When was the last time we had a disease with a r0 of >2 and a mortality rate that approached 1% infect 100,000 people in 2 months?

    Do not recommend the comments section as it is toxic af, but someone noted the timeline for coronavirus in Italy; around three weeks from single digit numbers of infected to a closed country.

    Took one of my kids to basketball practice tonight. The gym was full and all seemed normal which was kind of weird. I have a feeling things will change next week and Seattle schools may close down which is probably a good thing although it will make it harder for healthcare workers to get to work.

    Speaking of that my wife's hospital (not an eastside hospital) has a few covid patients currently but they expect the inundation to start soon and are in full prep mode. She's been practicing putting on her papr gear for when she intubates these patients, puts in central lines, etc.

    Also, one of their current patients is a healthy 52 year old male on a ventilator. Another hospital has a healthy thirty something in the ICU. And this is just the very beginning. Doctors in one eastside hospital are basically out of n95s, hoping to get more, but are doing risky interventions with just worthless surgery masks. It's getting real.

    Chinese Rat Flu

There's no point in testing an asymptomatic contact other than a housemate; the person could test negative and 2 days later contact another asymptomatic carrier and convert. Same with quarantining asymptomatic casual contacts. I would still cancel leisure activities that involve prolong close contact but keep people working at home if possible but at work if not. Keep the gears turning without unnecessary exposure.
    the concern that I have is that if asymptomatic cases (e.g., mild fever) are not tested, those infected will continue on with their normal life activities, and many will need to do so because they don't have the job to allow for extended paid sick leave. as such, they will be spreading and shed in the community at a much higher rate than if they knew they had the virus and felt more compelled to stay home sick.

    Our county has no known cases, per the county health dept site, but there's no information about how many tests have actually been completed. per my wife, at the doctor office at the end of the day today with one of our kids (neither are sick, there for another scheduled reason), the exhausted doc mildly complained, "everybody in nevada county thinks they have coronavirus, but it's all colds and flu." she wasn't in a mood to get smart-ass on him, but my thought was, "well, how many patients with the symptoms have you tested?" I am guessing that the answer would be zero. the office currently has no signage up about alternative intake if a patient has certain symptoms (they had clear signage posted at the front door when whooping was circulating in the community a few years ago). so that office very well could have had patients come in with a mild fever that have covid-19 (or they could tomorrow or the next day, etc.) and be spreading and shedding in the office and the greater community unless their intake procedures change or they start testing.

    i understand that the critical issue with testing is the overall lack of resources related to testing.

    reading the story of tiawan's response today was interesting.... https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...virus-n1153826

    This is, again, one of those cases where real world imitates TGR.

    We have been debating how seriously we should be social distancing. Sam Harris has a podcast up advocating for social distancing and laid out some of the rationale why. Decrease demand on the healthcare system, age, family with underlying conditions and that a few weeks of social distancing aren't the end of the world if nothing happens. On the other hand, if it does happen, you probably don't want to be in a position where you need hospitalization. Spoke right to the social stigma of cancelling meetings, not shaking hands and that nagging thought of "you are just succumbing to paranoai."

    Reiterated over and over- it's not the flu.

    So considering cancelling some non essential meetings and travel which is likely to make me an outlier at work.




    This seems in line with what major companies are doing in advance and what public agencies are advocating after they get the first case (which is probably to late).

    I'm no longer shaking hands with people, and I actually caught shit for it from someone yesterday.

    "Trump is still shaking hands, what makes you think you know better than him?"

    I wish I was kidding, but that's Amerikuh in 2020.
