Y'all know our posting history, but I realized when he went through an illness that I could root for his recovery & learn to giggle instead of getting angry with him. He's a good guy. 1 minute ago, Destino said: Should have left off the edit and just let his imagination decide if it was good or bad... and on how his house could use some more motion activated lights. Now that made me drop my 7-up. 🙁 But to Mr. Sinister's point, we're all here for a reason. This ain't fb. This isn't even about the team anymore. It's about friends we've made. Let's help each other. On that note, how you feeling, @visionary? 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fever I had only lasted like another morning and pretty much went away, through my throat was sore some the next couple of days. My throat was kind of sore last night too and earlier today. But I’ve mostly been fine other than my usual minor health issues. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have any luck finding it in stores near you, they have thermometer apps for smartphones. I don't know how accurate it is, but I assume it's accurate enough to tip you off if a temperature is off enough to warrant concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Ok, I confused it with sequencing. Still, it was imaged back in February, which seems to require isolation. Image is different then actual RNA strand that they probably isolated. Imaging showed the structure of the virus when it was attached to the affected cell (lungs in this case). The structure showed how close it was to SARS and MERS but of course a lot more deadly.

zCommander Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I knew about the virus staying alive on surfaces for a period of time but didn't know that coins can be very dangerous.... How long does the virus live on an object like a dollar bill? – John from Milwaukee, Wisconsin Depending on the type of surface, the virus can stay on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days, according to the WHO. A recent study by scientists in the U.S. found that viable virus could be detected up to three hours later in the air, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. It's possible that you can become infected if you touch your face after touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, according to the CDC. But scientists don't think surfaces are the main way that the virus spreads; the most common form of infection is from respiratory droplets spread by a person's cough or sneeze, the CDC reports. Meanwhile, the WHO says it is very unlikely that the virus will persist on a surface after being moved, traveled and exposed to different conditions and temperatures. That means the virus cannot spread through goods manufactured in China or any country reporting coronavirus cases. At the same time, the WHO is reportedly encouraging people to use as many digital payment options as possible. Viruses can survive on hard surfaces like coins for days in some cases. U.S dollars, a blend of fabric and paper, are harder for viruses to stick to. Here is rest of the article and very nicely done too.

88Comrade2000 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Thought Trump said, it was almost over when they were 15 cases. Going down to zero, he said. Now, we are are 47 states; doesn't seem like zero to me. West Virginia, Alabama,, Idaho are the only states without a reported case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
