By blackace Go To PostKorea literally running 15000 test a day… definitely possiblekorea is in a unique position to be able to manufacture these tests in large quantities very quickly. not saying the us and other countries aren't incompetent but korea is basically tailor made for this.
Even got drive thru testing…
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostLet's clarify one thing: SARS (SARS CoV) is a strain of corona virus. Corona virus (COVID19) is also known as SARS-CoV2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). SARS didn't disappear, they simply found ways to eliminate it and there are drugs and compounds out there that are in use if the disease shows up. And some of these drugs are showing promise to actually being effective on COVID19 due to their similarity with the 2003 SARS.Thanks for this

This week in Korea they have started a policy where you can buy two masks a week, but you can only go on certain days based on the year of birth .Monday was ending year 1 and 6, today was 2, and 7 etc.

But really Korea doesn't have better ways to manufacture than China, US, Japan, or most of Europe.
Probably best to stop making excuses for handling shit badly
I'm at the biggest university in Canada with a large international student population. Only a matter of time until student zero hits and they move everything remotely.
Hoping they just cancel exams entirely.
Hoping they just cancel exams entirely.
We were told today that the NI government is currently drafting legislation that would enable them to close all the colleges in NI if they need to. They are confident our remote access system will be allow us to work as normal but the IT guys didn't share that confidence.
Great JRE ep on infectious diseases and covid-19

Updated at 3 p.m. ET
California's Sacramento County is calling off automatic 14-day quarantines that have been implemented for the coronavirus, saying it will focus instead on mitigating the impact of COVID-19.
The change is an acknowledgement that the county cannot effectively manage the quarantines while its health system copes with coronavirus cases. It also reflects problems with the U.S. government's coronavirus testing program — issues that slowed efforts to identify people with the deadly virus and to contain COVID-19.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostMbappe tested for it.
Came back negative.
BTW - in that twitter thread someone asked how many people were at this Biogen conference - answer was 140 Senior Managers. If true, that's 40% that have tested positive.
By Laboured Go To PostCame back negative.
Why would they announce that so soon? Let Dortmund think he has it so defenders wont go near him.
Jamaica has a single case so just a matter of time before Cayman will have a case. This will be interesting on a small island of 60k.
Been hearing sirens and helicopters all day, it sounds like all of New Rochelle might get quarantined.
The Fox News crowd in my office is HILARIOUS.
Most of them appear concerned about Corona Virus. Asking questions about business trips. Waving instead of shaking hands. All of them will tell me I'm a fucking conspiracy libtard if I say we're fucked it's too late. Put down the media Fender. Stop watching fake news.
One of these dudes is about to cancel his fucking Jazz Music Cruise.

I'm starting to crack, only so many weeks of this shit before you starting hearing zombies knocking at your door.
By Daz Go To PostPshhh, look at this guy panicking.Depends on how they were raised as a child.
Zombies don't knock.
They're cancelling events of over 1000 people here, which seems like a reasonable precaution, except in Antwerp where they give fuck all about precautions.
