Preach.

Most of the people who get COVID-19 are likely the same people who thought this whole thing is a “hoax” and didn’t take proper precautions.

Man who died on bus in China tests positive for ‘hantavirus’

A passenger who died on a bus in China has tested positive for a completely different virus than COVID-19 — one more fatal that often produces very similar symptoms, according to state-run media. The unidentified victim from Yunnan province died while on a chartered bus heading to his workplace in Shandong province, the state-run Global Times announced in a tweet Monday

“He was tested positive for #hantavirus. Other 32 people on bus were tested,” the outlet stated, offering no further details. The suggestion of a new virus starting just as China starts lifting its strict quarantines from COVID-19, which originated in the Asian nation, sparked panic among many on social media, with #hantavirus trending.

“The #Hantavirus first emerged in 1950s in the American-Korean war in Korea (Hantan river). It spreads from rat/mice if humans ingest their body fluids. Human-human transmission is rare,” Swedish scientist Dr. Sumaiya Shaikh tweeted.

“Please do not panic, unless you plan to eat rats,” she stressed The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said hantavirus is rare — but put the death rate at 38 percent.

Symptoms may occur up to eight weeks “after exposure to fresh urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents,” the CDC says, noting it can occasionally also come from bites from infected rats or mice. The symptoms in many ways mirror those reported from the novel coronavirus — with sufferers reporting fevers, headaches, coughing and shortness of breath.One patient likened it to “a tight band around my chest and a pillow over my face,” the CDC said.

That is almost identical to what those with COVID-19 have reported, with Rep. Ben McAdams recently saying he “felt like I had a belt around my chest.” Source

No, Vitamin C (C6H8O6) is an essential nutrient almost every mammal makes (except us) which is found in various foods and dietary supplements. The doctor and health system in the article is discussing intravenous administration of ascorbic acid which avoids the problem of absorption when taking large doses orally. If taking orally you should space it out in multiple doses throughout the day or you’ll just pee most of it out.

Yesterday I had a temp of 102 and today only 97, i've still been working at my job around customers but have been doing everything humanely possible to stay safe when around others and trying my hardest to keep my distance, wearing gloves, a face mask, washing my hands and using hand sanitizer...at this point I probably freaked myself out so bad that I was going to get it that i made myself get a fever from all this worrying. I'm 43 going on 44 this year by the way.

Stay safe everyone.

Our state is under a mandatory lock down until April 30th. I still will be getting paid, which is very important.

But, I will be required to report to work just once a week for 3-5 hours. My job position is considered essential, according to my manager.
It feels good knowing that I am needed.

It looks like the granularity is back for the John Hopkins CV map.

Apparently, a copy of 1917 on UHD is essential since I got a shipping notification from Amazon for it.

I highly doubt he took the tube. So I imagine some poor memeber of staff is going to get the boot for not washing their hands.
