Every morning I wake up with a dry cough. For years. It goes away as I get moving.
Now I'm like, "oh shit, where did I go 2 days ago? Is this it?" It's funny how the mind works before it's really in gear. |

Yeah, allergies, that I get every year at this time, are kicking my butt this morning. But, there’s a little voice in my head that says “well crap”.

A bit from an email today from my firm's CEO:
"I do want to share what I consider to be positive news from our office in Shanghai. Our peers in Shanghai have recently been through what we are all experiencing today. While some restrictions are still in place in the city and there is voluntary social distancing, our Shanghai staff is back working in the office, and after five weeks of disruption, business is nearly back to normal. And for the fourth straight day there are no new cases of COVID-19 being reported in China. This is wonderful news! " |

Looks like they caught one of the dirt bags that was boosting masks.

FTR, our governor in Florida really let down the people for not closing the beaches. He took the $'s of spring breakers and now we are already seeing them infect their classmates returning to colleges around the USA, who are in turn going to infect others. AND what about spreading the virus to all the old people we have down here. That mistake is going to put Florida up there with Cali, Washington, NY as epicenters of this outbreaks. |

I saw this report today........
The USA and South Korea got their first reported case of a patient with the coronavirus on the same day. Is this true? |

People infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the disease, may test positive for the virus both before and after they have symptoms. But a new study of nine people who contracted the virus in Germany suggests that people are mainly contagious before they have symptoms and in the first week of the disease. Infectious viruses were isolated from about 17 percent of nose and throat swabs and more than 83 percent of phlegm samples during that first week, researchers report March 8 in a study posted at medRxiv.org. Patients produced thousands to millions of viruses in their noses and throats, about 1,000 times as much virus as produced in SARS patients, Clemens Wendtner, director of infectious disease and tropical medicine at Munich Clinic Schwabing, a teaching hospital, and his colleagues found. That heavy load of viruses may help explain why the new coronavirus is so infectious. But there’s encouraging news, too. Plummeting numbers of infectious virus after antibody production turns on “means that after about 10 days or so, you’re not likely to be infecting other people,” Khan says. Other studies also suggest that people with very mild or asymptomatic infections don’t shed as much virus and aren’t as likely to infect other people as people with more severe cases, he says. |
