    Much more likely to pick it up via contact than through air. In other words, gloves > mask

    I just got back to China from California. It was a crazy experience getting back. I don’t know how to post pictures. Can sometime help me? I have pictures of my plane and the airport.

    Strands of common viruses have been getting worse for while now, but they don't dare tell us.

    Notice how much harder it is to get over a cold or flu these days?

    I'm not sure how it is in the USA but they also are VERY reluctant to prescribe any antibiotic up here.

Fortunately the disease itself isn't fatal if you're otherwise healthy and treated early.

    Airports are probably the worst places to be these days - people from all over the world transiting to places all over the world in the same space. It's only a matter of time until the SBR community is infected since BOOAH is constantly at airports, flying around the country to meet up with internet posters.
    can't they check travel itinerary and know who has been to China

    I ve been in the Philippines for a month and its been business as usual for the most part with Temp checks a key checkpoints, spent time in Manila and also some of the tropical islands. Real surprised they ve only had 3 cases here so far, they banned the chinese quite early to be proactive and I believe that helped and sounds like they will ban Koreans also any day now

    The virus itself is real. Are you saying it's being blown out of proportion? Could be. Time will tell. When you say "this is all media driven" what are you saying exactly? If it was a fake virus and nobody was actually getting sick... this would be a different story. It's definitely real... how dangerous it actually is, is a different story.

    Only countries having issues here are government run healthcare systems.

    China 100% hospital beds government owned
    Iran 92% hospital beds government owned

    Kinda sums up why Bernie has 0 chance...

    I'm sure private insurance would work great in authoritarian nations. You can't be this foolish or can you?

    South Korea has a major issue and they have a great health care system.

    Italy has one of the best ranking health care systems on Earth.

    Your tune will change in a few weeks.

    South Korea is a 100% free for all medicare system. It's horseshit.

    You don't get R&D when you have these suppressed healthcare networks

    All these shithole countries need big bad USA companies to create and/ fund the antidote to every crises they mismanage when the real antidote is PRIVATE and CAPITALIST driven medicine and healthcare.

    So simple

    Italy is also free of charge, nationalized health system lol

    Seriously, when the government controls the system you'll never get a true measure of its deficentcy because they control the #s, the patients, the treatment and the OUTCOME!

    This should be a sure warning to anyone leaning towards Medicare/ Medicaid for all.

    It doesn't work. Never has, never will.

    It doesn't make life better for anyone other than worthless bottom 10% of society.

    Totally agree. When a famous person gets sick they head to the USA to get treated.
    When money is no object The States is where you go.

    you need to host them on a 3rd party site like https://postimages.org/

    upload them and then just copy the "direct link" (it will have a .jpg or .png at the end of the link)

    click on the little picture in the SBR reply box and paste the link

    if you are on mobile just paste the links to the pics and someone else will embed them

    American health care is good for rich that's it no one else. That's fine if you have money. I'm a staunch conservative but no way in hell could I support the American system. It's antiquated. Sure if you need a surgery WITHOUT waiting times you go to the USA because no one but rich people can afford it in America that's why the wait times are low.

    New cases but no change in the US, China has been quiet too.

    It could have to do with reports coming in at the end of a day or the timing in general, as Italy had new cases reported.

    Know that some of those 57 US cases are now listed as recovered, not existing cases.

    This could get really ugly in a month or two from now. No need to panic just yet in the US. Still it's only a matter of time though.

    We're not adding no cases in the US though, we are just having existing cases recover. That's not the direction you would expect if it was curtains for us all.

    The two cases in Chicago are now listed as recovered, there are no existing cases in Chicago anymore, but they are still in the count of 57 total US cases...
