    She's an idiot for waiting 12 days to get medical attention.

    It’s possible that she has no healthcare coverage, or coverage with a high co-pay, possibly a plan with 100% copay until a minimum out-of-pocket has been met.

    That is the current issue. Nobody knows how long it will continue. Will it subside with warm weather? Will it mutate into a more fatal virus? Nobody knows.

    The real issue is that everyone with half a brain knows that the numbers reported in the U.S. are far below reality. That’s part of the reason the market is so turbulent.

    ...But to protect the community, who investigates these infected persons contacts for the past two weeks? The medical professionals shouldn't have to, they have patients to treat.

    There simply isn’t the depth within the system to investigate even this one case. Think about it - she’s been sick for twelve (12) days. Within that 12 days, let’s say she’s had contact with 60 people (5 per day, x 12 days). That’s probably WAY low, but just for example, the 5 she contacted on her first day each contact 5 (25) others, then those 25 each contact 5 (125), and so on... and that’s just from her day one. You’re talking thousands of people, and that’s just from HER.

    I’m telling you, this virus is going to run it’s course - it’s got too much of a head start.

    According to the CDC website, healthcare providers are supposed to report PUI (Persons Under Investigation) to their local and State Health Departments, so I guess the question is what are they doing and are they understaffed/overwhelmed?

    I know from first hand experience many people with serious healthcare issues avoid the doctor or ER because of the high costs involved, but thats a whole other issue nobody is willing to tackle....except maybe for Amazon? Weird world we live in....

    Thanks Garden and Halen for posting more details on the kits. Still, one would think that the same process used in a lab for detecting the coronavirus, is also used to confirm other contagious viruses.

    and if so, wouldn't these kits be more universal in their application across the board ? If so....one has to ask, why the heck we don't have a stockpile of them unless they can't be stored for periods of time. This isn't going to be the last virus to come around, I think we all know that.

    It's an impossible task, for a country our size and the travel in and out that happens daily, to completely protect everyone against infectious diseases/viruses. It's also impossible to test everyone, especially since this type of virus can test negative one day, and the same person can have it again after being declared cured.

    We going to shut tight the borders, nobody in or out, no trade of goods. Cancel all overseas flights, all shipping goods at ports, use of paper money and coins. You'll never stop the spread, but you can slow it down. Pretty much what everyone is doing right now.

    Read a few stories about some who were suppose to self quarantine and instead went to parties. How irresponsible can you be. Makes ya want to punch these people....with a glove on of course.

    I'm pretty sure the nature of the PCR testing where you are identifying a particular DNA strand makes the test kits for a particular virus totally the opposite of universal. joeyv or others with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong but I think those Primer/Probe Reagents that are in Box#1 are developed using the particular virus to be detected and are specific to that virus.

    Could be, I dunno. If they are specific to a virus, then you can't really make a kit until a particular virus becomes a problem. Then it becomes a manufacturing issue and how quick you can churn them out, right ? Which might explain some lag in the availability of kits here, aside from the dumb decisions of the CDC to use their own.

    I went to our state's Heath & Human Services website for the first time, ever. Michigan is clear, so far:
    d72e44r11ifa.png

    To date, there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases in Michigan. As of March 4, eight people have been tested for COVOD-19 in the state; five by CDC and three by MDHHS.

    The way PCR (polymerase chain reaction) works is that each test is specific for a unique DNA (or, in the case of these viruses, DNA 'reverse transcribed' from RNA, RT-PCR) sequence for that pathogen. This requires two primers that are complementary to the DNA sequences that are used as the diagnostic for the pathogen being tested for. The size (length) and precise DNA sequence of the primers used and the conditions for denaturing and re-annealing the DNA strands for each organism or virus sequence to be tested for has to be carefully selected and tuned to minimize false negatives (which are 'worst case' for a diagnostic). A false positive is preferable to a false negative in diagnostic tests like this -- because a false positive can always be retested. A false negative walks out the door and infects his/her friends and acquaintances! :(

    What's cool about PCR is it uses the biochemical DNA replication machinery to amplify the signal, so the tests are almost unbelievably sensitive. They're also automated and reasonably fast and as precise as biology allows them to be. The test can also
    quantitative (qPCR). I'll spare y'all the details unless you really want to know.

    It's not entirely clear yet because it is still being studied, but there have been studies of other coronaviruses that give clues. From what I have read from the CDC, the main transmission source is through airborne droplets between people in close contact. Like on cruise ships! Once no longer airborne in droplets, the virus can remain live on hard surfaces for minutes or days depending on the temperature and humidity environment. Sunlight kills it. If people wash their hands often and avoid touching their faces while out and about that surface to person transmission risk goes way way down. It also helps to avoid touching things with bare hands that many other people touch throughout the day such as door handles and elevator buttons. These rules go for anything though, not just a coronavirus.

    GDP for the year 2020 was forecast to be in the 2% range until this virus came about. It is now forecasted to be in the 1.3% range for 2020, this mostly due to a supply chain interruptions.

    People are going to quit spending as things deteriorate. Of course the FED will slash rates and fire up the QE printing presses. It won't work this time, cash will be king again. Throw in a little physical gold for good measure.


    Oh, and wash your hands and don't touch your face.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    Minutes or days sounds good. I was thinking about bubble wrap being manufactured and it possibly spreading that way. If it's only a couple of days, then no worries. Thanks,

    I have to chuckle a bit, as Sam's Club was completely out of toilet paper! Well, that sparked a bit of panic with the Mrs and we had to make another stop. I'm thinking, my goodness, we already have a bunch at home (At least one of those big packs from Sam's), but, I did not argue, just went with it! :smile:

    Italy's quarantine is hardly what the headline makes it out to be.
    What are the measures?
    Night clubs, gyms, swimming pools, museums and ski resorts will be closed.

    Restaurants and cafes can open but customers must sit at least a metre apart.

    People will be told to stay home as much as possible
