And then one week later has the coronovirus and has exposed AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
What an idiot. Seriously. How careless to come from a red zone and just think nothing is wrong.
The outbreak here in Georgia is just right down the road from me. THe local highschool is closed now because his kid may have it and effected the entire highschool.
If anyone lives in Atlanta be on high alert. Wash hands and don't touch face etc.
Eff it. I'm going to wear my mask and goggles next time I go to the store. People can stare or say whatever they want.

People are assholes. They come visit you when they are fuming with fever because of the flu.
The large number of people with not-too-severe symptoms will keep on trucking, infecting people all around them while they focus on themselves.
This is why we will absolutely have a pandemic.

A medical professional in new hampshire returning from italy was tested and told to self quarintine but instead went to a conference in vermont for the weekend and came back to a positive corona virus result having potentially infected the entire conference plus the poor ass service workers.

Seriously. It's GOING to spread. I already knew it.
And for all the people saying that because I'm wearing a mask, I'm robbing the medical industry of needed mask?!?
GET A GRIP. I bought ONE MASK. You go cry about a shortage of supplies and I'll gladly wear my mask and goggles and reduce my chances.
The CDC is so full of crap saying that masks are worthless unless you're already sick.
WHAT A LIE!
What they fail to mention is you need goggles too. I got a nice pair of lab grade safety googles for $10 on amazon. The virus gets in through the eyes too.

Exxactly. And the worse part is it stays dormant for a week or two, but you're still contagious before the major symptoms hit.
Also, the scary thing is that if this virus evolved, just imagine what it might evolve into next.
This is a real wake up call to planet earth how vulnerable humans really are.

Some idiot in my area came back from Iran already sick with the virus and risked exposing her fellow passengers on the plane and a commuter train and after that. But it sounds like she may only have passed it on to her husband.

Well since China is being all secret about it NO ONE EVEN KNOWS if the virus did evolve, or if it was held in a laboratory and escaped etc, or came from bats.
I mean what the heck China. That country is so messed up sometimes.

Tbf after it's spread to a certain point it's all but impossible to tell where it came from. Especially when it causes such mild symptoms in most people.
It's like coming back from Disney world and trying to find out who gave you a very specific cold.

It's what this virus implies for humanity that I am afraid of. And I also have people in my life that I care about that are in the "vulnerable" stage.
So forgive me for being a bit upset.

Oh and I work at an office building for one of the big banks (I don't actually work for the bank though, just at the building) and today they sent their first department home that I know of. Just told them to work from home for the time being. Because they handle a lot of mail & packages.
Well shit so does the majority of the building. And I handle more mail than in the building than anyone.
This is just one building among hundreds in the US so they're obviously doing it elsewhere. It's going to spread and more and more companies, if feasible, will be conducting business from home. How long before they start suspending schools too?

That's more contagious. Have you ever had the flu? I feel like if someone's actually had the flu before they'd be more inclined to understand what a worse experience could entail.. The flu already sucks. Hard. And can already precipitate pneumonia, it's characteristics and symptoms are different. I'm also talking about bacterial pneumonia and not viral like with this one.

I've experienced the flu 3-7 times... when you come back from winter break at a 30,000 person uni you're guaranteed to encounter it 30+ times a day... but I also know how to take care of myself, feel when the very edge of symptoms are occuring and take steps to nip it in the bud.
A lot of people who would consider themselves 'science minded' tend to see stuff like essential oils as bs, but ain't no fucking virus surviving a well eucalyptus defused room (And that be science). Drop it in boiling water and inhale the vapors with a towel over your head, sheeeit will clear your respiratory system like nothing else. As taught to me by a badass 86 year old grandma on Mt. Ashland as I was relegated to crawling on the ground with fatigue and sickness with some sort of unknown illness. Her technique may have saved my life.
Then you got cho plasmatic metal waters (gold/silver/co2/zinc/copper), got cho echinacea, goldenseal, oregon grape root, elderberry syrup & oregano oil.
Qi gong and yoga also can strengthen your immune system a lot.
