@sparkurk said 70 And that nursing home have been reported infected. Initially half of those were staff and half were the patients.

That's probably going to be 20-30 deaths. Like literally the worst place I could think of for this infection to start.
ya, if you are hooked to an oxygen machine or have only partial lung function it sounds like it could be bad.

Why is that?
We have closed schools here for the flu every season for the last 3 years. I don't know if we study things afterwards to know if it's effective, but it makes sense that it would be
I have never seen that before.. but the post was also sarcasm.

@Splinty what are your thoughts on this?
I know I'm no @Splinty but I had to do some research...

The China National Center for Biotechnology Development head Zhang Xinmin said that chloroquine is one of the three drugs that have a promising profile against the new coronavirus, reported China Daily.

The remaining two drugs are anti-flu medicine favipiravir and Gilead’s investigational anti-viral candidate remdesivir.

On the way home: 4 masks, one pair of disposable gloves. Lots of sniffles on the DL and some coughing.

*Seeing news of a 42-day possible incubation period now, not sure if true.

sparkuri @sparkuri I wasn't aware you were in an affected area. I guess that does help justify some of your panic. My stance is still the same, and as a friend I just want you to be happy and from my point of view, you aren't happy right now. You are in full panic mode and if the more healthy option is between two options, panic over something you can't control and worrying about it constantly versus trying to reassure yourself your chances of surviving is high, I would think the more healthy mindset is the latter.

Just constantly google positive things like the entire US population, focus on people have been recovering from it. Just start thinking more positive broski. All this worrying cannot be good for your health system.
