True, I went to a long time friends wedding this weekend. I was given advice to sit at the back and away from people. They had planned for a medium size wedding, but it turned out to be a small wedding, lots of guest did not show up, and people were spread out all over a large church. I felt bad for them, and on top of that someone had a coughing fit. I didn't stuck around after that because that was after the wedding, in between the reception when this lady couldn't stop coughing. They had way more food there, than people to eat it.
I think many of us should learn to say no. I have no problems saying no. lol
My friends started texting each other, "what is your traveling history>" if they found out you recently traveled, plan would be canceled. At least, people started doing things to protect themselves now.
A problem with one ingredient in test kits that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention distributed to labs around the country had created a frustrating bottleneck in testing, requiring most testing to occur at the CDC in Atlanta.
..
"The FDA has authorized the use of those tests by using just the first and second step to provide a definitive diagnostic," Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said during a congressional hearing Thursday.
Forty labs — local and state public health labs as well as select department of defense labs — across the U.S. are already authorized to start using the modified test, and all 93 labs should be able to start testing by next week, Azar said.
The medical community is telling people to STOP BUYING MASKS - because they need them in for nurses , Dr.s , etc. .
Why don't ALL hospitals and clinics , EMT s etc. have their OWN supply ?
Are they buying from Home Depot ? - It makes no effin logical sense to me . That's akin to telling me not to buy aspirin because the hospitals need them .
Why don't we as a country have buildings with fresh air ventilation available for ALL the people on the cruise
ships who tested positive to be quarantined ? I hear Detroit has some .
The cruise ships AND hospitals ALL have bad air circulation , hence the skyrocketing chance of you getting
infected from ANY airborne viruses ( SARS , MERS etc. ) in these closed air places .
Why aren't anyone ' in charge ' talking about these things ??? just my 2 cents and rant
One more thing , what if this dies down in the summer and comes back STRONGER LIKE THE 'SPANISH' FLU did in 1918 !!!??

CDC and all private labs need to get busy developing a vaccine for TDS - it is rampant on here, with lots of irrational post by the afflicted. The corona virus is not nearly as dangerous as TDS.

Yeah, I posted this couple of pages ago, American doctors don't encourage people to wear mask. Asian doctors all encourage people to wear masks. Are all asian doctors morons?
I say people who use public transportation, please wear mask.
I don't buy hundreds of them, i have two reusable ones, and 50 regular surgical mask, that is all I need, and I don't even use public transportation.

Cause they are all busy fighting with each other over who is in charge.
Is the FDA in charge of the CDC or is the CDC in charge of the FDA and then HHS wants in as well.
They are tripping over each other to "be in charge" but when confronted with hard questions (why no test kits) then no one is in charge.
