SOAP]

everybody should know, that soap itself is the nice bed for all kind of bacteria and all that jazz...
only liquid soap from container is ok.

Yeah, don't rinse with chlorox. You can drink 75% alcohol. Purcell and hand sanitizer are alcohol based. Hydrogen peroxide isn't the only thing that kills viruses. That's all I meant. If it's slowing the spread of the virus, great.

I read some week ago that Absolut vodka going into the hand cleaning alcohol business,,,,,got to keep the business flowing......one could perhaps also rum soak ones fists/hands

[Trick]

The virus can come in through the tears and tear ducts. Imo, if you wanted to kill the virus with h2o2, you should rinse your nostrils with it, and anywhere the virus might have entered. This is the internet so it might be true, but the virus binds with lung cells. I just mentioned drinking 151 (rum), or overproof liquor, or "moonshine," is very possible. However, I imagined that the alcohol would be for sanitizing surfaces, not internally.

Speaking as someone who has had 75% alcohol with dinner...it can be surprisingly smooth.

Was a Korean BBQ place in Xi'an that had it on the menu. Actually went down much easier than most of the 50-55% stuff that is more common in China.
..

It’s the sorghum that supposedly gives the smoothness to the baijiu. I usually don’t like liquor such as vodka and whiskey, but found an appreciation for the Chinese white wine due to its smoothness.

Not my location, but I think it's a good on-the-ground report from Elmhurst hospital in New York. (from the BBC website)

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said Sunday the American public shouldn’t worry about the coronavirus outbreak in China.

“It’s a very, very low risk to the United States,” Fauci said during an interview with radio show host John Catsimatidis.

“But it’s something that we as public health officials need to take very seriously... It isn’t something the American public needs to worry about or be frightened about. Because we have ways of preparing and screening of people coming in [from China]. And we have ways of responding - like we did with this one case in Seattle, Washington, who had traveled to China and brought back the infection.”

Some have asked why the US did not react sooner...
suggesting the administration did not listen to the "experts".

Maybe they did, taken action as empirical evidence changed.

" Dec 1st- First patient with symptoms
Dec 30th- Virus discovered.
Jan 11th - First reported death
Jan 20th- First Human to Human transmission reported and China starts letting the world know the virus exists.
Jan 24th - China starts sharing medical data on the virus."


JAN. 30

The W.H.O. declared a global health emergency.

JAN. 31

The Trump administration restricted travel from China

Awww,
You get the serious kick in the area.
Compare it to Poland - today: 124 new cases, 6 deaths.
totally:
3627 cases,
79 deaths.

Interesting, why it is so big difference. Poland with 40 millions population can be compared to NY/ long Island area. Density is different, but...
Maybe shitty food destroying US citizens immunity system?
Have no idea.
