LCranston 2 Enthusiast Registered: 08/31/09 Posts: 201 Loc: Nebraska	Lets get more science This is a link to data via Johns Hopkins. No hype. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 HERE is a link to WHO's summary (no jokes please) https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 Here is CDC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html An interesting link (not as trusted as WHO or CDC) is https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/ This shows some statistics (again, take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt- the sample sizes and populations are still very limited) The key questions long term: How infectious? (still not clear) How Lethal? (still not clear) It is too early to get truly good data.

Obviously, COVID-19 is to be avoided, if at all possible, but the same can be said of the more familiar influenza. Basically, wash your hands.... _________________________ Geezer in Chief

This virus has killed 2130. that sucks. the FLU kills ~646,000 people per year, yet almost nobody is scared of the flu. People are scared of sharks- they kill 38 people per year. Car/road accidents kill 1.25 million per year worldwide. Few of us are scared to drive. I like to plan for things I can control. Love the sections on food to keep on hand, etc.

Russ Geezer Registered: 06/02/06 Posts: 5357 Loc: SOCAL	This is an update from Chris Martenson of PeakProsperity.com regarding Covid-19. Coronavirus Cases Doubling Overnight In Many Countries - Peak Prosperity Quote: ... Covid-19 cases are leaping higher in disparate countries around the globe — doubling overnight in South Korea, Italy and Iran.... It increasingly looks like the only hope countries have of containing covid-19 is to use the draconian mass quarantine efforts that China is enforcing on its populace. _________________________ Better is the Enemy of Good Enough. Okay, what’s your point??

clearwater Old Hand Registered: 03/19/05 Posts: 1185 Loc: Channeled Scablands	Article in Fox News about coronavirus living on surfaces for 9 days. Couldn't quite make out if it was this new type too or just the older kinds. Also killed by bleach, hydrogen peroxide.

chaosmagnet Sheriff Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/03/09 Posts: 3842 Loc: USA	For a coronavirus in general to survive for nine days on a surface would be pretty amazing and unusual, however I have not yet found any data or science saying that this figure is inaccurate for COVID-19.
