There is no real risk of buying things from China. The virus cannot survive on boxes and the purchased items surface for that long.

it's not the risk of infection, it's the disruption of the supply line, since everything is made in china. our work has been encountering this, and the rest of the mining community. this is going to be the biggest issue

From what I've read industrial N95 are not the same as medical N95. And in either case you need to shave your facial hair and be fitted for them to be completely effective.

The good news is life goes on in Hubei province (home of Wuhan) and the economy hasn't grinded to a halt.

I think the panic over this will be worse than the bite.

But still **** if I'm going to the hospital with this if I get it and have to deal with $40k of independent contractors billing me for years - and my insurance covering 30% of it - when all they can do is give you gatorade. I'll stay home and ride it out thanks.

Yeah on The Zoo the vet had to shave off his beard because the elephants have TB and they have to wear masks around them. Unfortunate as the dude has no chin and looked ok with a beard.

Yeah facial hair and masks generally don't play well together, you need a tight seal.

When I was working in the hospital they didn't allow you to have a beard and work in the ICU. Even if there was no one in isolation. Because the people that are in the ICU could quickly escalate into isolation during a shift. You could work in the ER but only if a women or a 2nd male without a beard was also on duty.


Wonder if in this era, they can still do that?

Preachers in the USA beware, Your own flock may turn on you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The city of Seoul, South Korea, on Sunday asked prosecutors to investigate the founder of a church at the center of the country’s coronavirus outbreak and other top leaders of the sect on murder and other criminal charges.


Official believe that the church has contributed to the country’s rising death toll from the virus — which reached 18 as of Sunday — by failing to provide disease-control officials with a full accurate list of church members and by interfering with the government’s efforts to fight the outbreak.


In a Facebook post, Mayor Park Won-soon of Seoul said the church’s behavior was tantamount to “murder through to willful negligence.”


Officials say that nearly 60 percent of the 3,736 confirmed cases in South Korea are in members of Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the southeastern city of Daegu or people who came into contact with them.

No idea about the rules pertaining to the medical field, but they are very particular about it in most refineries.

So that means soon to be in Minneapolis-it is the first of the month so they have to come here and pick up their welfare checks.
