Are you advocating cutting the CDC and virology programs? That would be foolish and a bad investment.

Yes, THAT'S what I said.  Except I didn't use any of those words, so my meaning must be completely different from your words.

 

The CDC has had increased funding the past three years, thankfully.  

 

What I AM saying is that NOTHING is free, regardless what your esteemed candidates are trying to convince you.

Weren't you the guy telling us this is no worse than the flu?

Group opinion.  Should I stop greeting customers with a handshake.?

 

I am really not too concerned and do think its overblown. My wife is a little wigged about it

 

Still not making plans to go the Philippines any time soon 

 

   Yes, but not because of Coronavirus. Hands are basically 5 fingered petri dishes anyway. I agree with Trump on this one. It's kind of a dumb and outdated custom.

My co-workers are now incorporating the toe-bump or elbow-bump as greeting/farewell gestures.  I guess the days of grabbing them by the... are over, at least temporarily?

 

   I just say hello.

directives from work saying that if anyone travels outside the country or to state areas with infections they are forcing them to self quarantine and call the health department (no word on whether they will be paid).

Similar around here.  Blatantly draconian.

If the government tried some of this stuff, it would sound like some infringement on rights, but of course companies and institutions can order what they want.

We are just getting to the test capacity that Korea has. It has been an effective tool in the arsenal.

What does the testing capability have to do with the stabilization of new cases in Korea.

It helps identify and isolate people who are carriers

Maybe, but in such a small contained large population like Korea where folks literally travel around the entire country daily, I think it is more than just identification and isolation.

I may have, because that is an accurate statement.  But that has NOTHING to do with CDC funding nor the fact that testing isn't actually free.

Oh, so unless a "health official" recommends it, it's not happening?

 

Cruise lines are suffering,  offering cruises for around $50.  US air travel is down 35-50%, and expected to drop even more.  Airlines are cutting flights (worse than 9/11), and may soon be laying off employees.

Nothing from your "health officials", yet here comes the slowdowns in flying.
