OT: @Handsomedan - you should think about trademarking "Aerial Defacation" before some Death Metal band uses it. Could be worth a fortune!

Handsomedan:
mattwnz:

I had read that they think it may also be possible for it to be transmitted through fecal matter, and aerosol effects.

It's pretty rare that I do aerial defecation, but I'll have to keep that in mind.

it’s the emergency aerial defecation situations that you must watch out for.

Hi, i don't think that vaccine can help here, the virus is spreading and nothing can stop it. My parents are from Bosnia and until yesterday there was not even one case there.

But yesterday they have discovered that man who worked in Italy came back before 15 days to Bosnia and he turned positive with Corona Virus, after that they have tested his family and his kid turned out also positive. Now they have closed the school where the kid was going and will test all students. they still don't know the results but i think it's going to be epidemic. Imagine what will happen.

I am very worried about this, in the beginning i was joking about it, but my wife have asthma and i really hope that this will end fast.

It looks as though the US may have horribly botched it's testing process for COVID-19

This article in the Atlantic seems to back up what others are reporting on the ground.

The CDC's latest update shows that as of March 5, 2020 they've only completed 1,583 tests.
They don't report on state-level testing, but it appears most states can only test a few hundred a day.

Elise Hu, a LA based host on NPR twittered (I know..) this out today.

In Canada, British Columbia - directly across the border from WA State - had already completed several thousand COVID-19 tests, and - along with other provinces - has upgraded to be able to test thousands per day.

mattwnz: That isn't what it means, the article says that 300 people during SARS, were infected, via airbourne transmission of virus-ridden feces aerosols. It goes on to say that airbourne spread happens when residue from the evaporated droplets is suspended in air, and then people breath those in.

I recall a documentary about SARS in Hong Kong, and in one case spreading in a horribly designed and constructed apartment building. There was a visible waste pipe transiting through many residents' kitchen areas, with brown stuff leaking out. And every time someone flushed...Imo this is the kind of case documented.

I suspect this is also why also keeping the toilet clean is very important. My concern is plane toilets which are shared with many passengers throughout a plane and handwashing.

Aeroplane toilets have negligible risk for aerosol. Every flush actually sucks a good volume of air down the bowl and out of the compartment.

I'm sure I read that in NZ we have done over 200 tests (and I think that was on the 6th of March) with our population of 4.8 million. It was 155 tests back on the 3rd, but they have done a lot more since then.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/410848/coronavirus-update-155-tests-carried-out-31-tests-now-underway

The US has 330 million people and probably should have done well over 10,000 tests by now, but I guess this explains these numbers:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Now sort by Total Deaths (highest to lowest). Can you spot the country with a high number of Total Deaths, but a relatively low number of Total Cases?

To me that indicates a country that hasn't done enough tests and that was how Iran looked a couple of weeks ago.

With a boasting bullsh-tting buffoon apparently apparently only concerned about "stonks" and a christian cult member with a 15th century comprehension of the world running the show, then how else was it going to be?

The case fatality rate in the USA is currently highest in the world.

Rikkitic: If something says it kills 99.9% of 'all germs', does that mean just bacteria or also viruses?

Remember - it's the 0.1% that kills you. 😕

And that bacteria can reproduce (double) every 20 minutes or so. So in an hour that .1% is .8%, 2 hours is 6.4%, 3 hours is 25.6%, 3 hours 40 minutes is back to 100%.
