Meh:
Bleh software I need for school is giving me trouble so giving up on perfection at the moment. Maybe that's what I get for not being prepared.
-- rest below is "fear mongering" ----
This just came out in the news and published in JAMA. I've been searching for something that has rate of intensive care and a death rate. I guess it's still difficult to know what this means in a large general sense but it is not good and I worry the news attempts to downplay things because they simply are not prepared to deal with people in all out panic mode. I'm feeling bad for healthcare workers on the front lines man. I'm sure by some people's standards I am over reacting but I HATE getting sick, illness is looking at your own weakness and knowing that life is fragile. It is highly infectious. It's difficult for people to get into care centers in China so who knows about the sample being reflective of general society. Still I don't like it one bit. My state has one quarantine center that hasn't been used at now they are talking about building up a second one already.
Excerpt:
"Findings In this single-center case series involving 138 patients with NCIP, 26% of patients required admission to the intensive care unit and 4.3% died. Presumed human-to-human hospital-associated transmission of 2019-nCoV was suspected in 41% of patients."

By the way Hiya SKEP, LIGHTER, HOPS!, CB123 and TWO.
Lighter I am a hand washer but not a toilet bowl cover closer, never thought of that, it's a good idea really because SPRAY!.Swine flu sounds miserable I think I did avoid it by not touching door knobs. Thanks for the tip about Tamiflu, I never tried it. UP to this point I felt I was pretty good at not getting sick because I wash my hands before I eat and the first thing I do after being out in public is wash my hands at home (not 50 times).
Agreed Hops it had the earmarks of a pandemic from the start. I will stress out it's just my thing even if I have to live in a shed on the far side of the moon I'm trying to mentally figure out what this is all about. I just don't want to drown in my own lung puss. Yuck its a bad way to go.

I agree it's something to be aware of, follow, keep an eye on. BUT - stressing (anxiety is stress) does take a toll on a person's immune system. When a worry like this is added on top of our other life/daily stress... sometimes it can escalate over the top.
Hang in there G. I'm thinking "this too shall pass". Even while recognizing we probably have till March to know for sure, if it's going to be an issue outside of China (India is looking likely).
lighter:
WHO, on God's green earth, gets on a cruise ship during an Int'l pandemic outbreak?
::thinking about that question as I head pack top head for a big port city::.
Just the idea of leaving the girls during this thing is starting to.....
NO NO NO NO.....
youngest dd had flu shot.
Oldest has the healthiest immune system around.
I'm not going to worry about this now.
Wow.
I feel much better: )

Meh:
Officially burnt out on the topic of coronavirus. The news outlets generate new reports every 20 minutes even if they have no news, I guess to maintain readership or something. There does appear to be severe suppression and cover up by the Chinese gov that only leads to speculation. It's the new normal already and feels like old news. It's going to be interesting to find out what the world health organization is allowed access to, they have no real power.
Hopalong:
Hey G--
My ears perked up when I heard the word "school."
What did you finally decide to do?
So glad for you.
hugs
Hops
