nobody cares about Obama dumb ass. Focus!

When things like this happen think to yourself: "What would Obama do?"

And you will find your answer, grasshopper.

Yay for that! Still can’t get a firm answer on whether it’s airborne spread or not. Spread by cough droplets, but that’s not airborne? Lots of uh, uh, umming from the experts but no great answer.

China--78,514 cases, 2,744 deaths

New cases have slowed down to between 400-450 a day. Korea had 550 new cases today.

Does Indonesia still have "no" cases?

Fever in almost all cases. Dry cough in most cases. Runny noses in only 4% of cases.

What I am unable to find is the typical course and duration of the illness. Is it a week? Two? Does it start with a fever or a cough?

Why trust the Chinese Communists,
or even the corrupted WHO?

Trump said it was “the right thing to do” in his speech. I can’t believe they didn’t send people with protective gear. Worst administration.

Hilariously--in a sad way--yes, no cases.

That’s almost a 4% death rate, and likely some of those cases our still pending...

South Korean cases now exceed 2000.

Currently 2022, 13 deaths.

Dumb Q maybe, but how is it that there are “suspected” cases? These symptoms sound so bland and commonplace that I don’t know what would raise a doctor’s suspicions relative to say the flu

It’s not an upper respiratory illness. It starts in the lungs. So sneezing, sore throat probably aren’t COVID.

Suspected cases are often people presenting with symptoms who have been in close contact with a confirmed case. For example a confirmed case lives with another person. That other person is sick and they are a “suspect” case pending confirmation which takes about a day or so.

How are asymptomatic people spreading it so easily if they’re not coughing or sneezing?
