Coronavirus Status Updates

If it follows the Spanish Flu of 1918 (and it will) they will not reopen for physical class attendance in 2020. Mothers everywhere double their Valium dose.
Remember, history doesn't always repeat itself but it does rhyme. These virus (Corona and Spanish Flu) have been behaving so similarly epidemiologically that it seems almost certain that we will be dealing with it (social distancing, etc) through till next spring.
The second wave of the Spanish flu was the big one. It started in the Fall.

From 2007:
"The prescence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb"
"The prescence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb"
Limited swab availability to obtain samples with is what I'm dealing with.
Just an FYI...While out getting dinner last night, I ran into a man who heads a National Guard unit and asked if he heard any news. He said,”Don’t be surprised to hear of a National lockdown announcement coming in next couple days with everything except non essential businesses closed (groceries, fuel, pharmacies). “ He said they are getting NG units placed first so no looting or problems would occur. I’m on the coast of Georgia in a small town.
A couple things here. 1. those were not bats. 2. That language sounded more like one of the Pinoy (Phillipino) or Indonesian languages than Chinese.
A lot of the world is made up of people eating things that we consider weird. Look up Balut.
Anybody could tell that those weren't bats. The video was not the point; the language they spoke is irrelevant. I question the authenticity of that video anyway. I was quoting the 'American Society for Microbiology' article in the tweet. When a tweet is embedded, if that tweet was a reply to another tweet, then that original tweet will get embedded too. The article wasn't necessarily passing judgment on eating "weird things", that wasn't the point either, other than the impending disaster that awaits when wet markets include severely infected mammals.
