I recall the swine flu that wasn't. SARS, tho deadly, apparently mutated to a less virulent form. But apparently the R-naught of this virus is extraordinarily high, which means that even if it's not a "killer" virus an awful lot of ppl will get sick and some of them will die.
I intend to wear a mask as well

I've been asking the stores where I go to please put out hand sanitizers where customers can use them, but I intend to keep one in the car as well. If I can find one that's 60% or more alcohol (either ethanol or IPA), even better!
A second case of coronavirus has just been confirmed in SoCal since this morning.
But for now, all we're going to hear about is Kobe Bryant.

Another Decade, Another Coronavirus
The viral genome has been sequenced, and these results in conjunction with other reports show that it is 75 to 80% identical to the SARS-CoV and even more closely related to several bat coronaviruses.3 It can be propagated in the same cells that are useful for growing SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, but notably, 2019-nCoV grows better in primary human airway epithelial cells than in standard tissue-culture cells, unlike SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV.
Transmission of 2019-nCoV probably occurs by means of large droplets and contact (comment: making surgical masks and hand sanitizers appropriate) and less so by means of aerosols and fomites, on the basis of our experience with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV.

“From observations, the virus is capable of transmission even during incubation period,” Ma said, adding that the incubation period lasted from one to 14 days. “Some patients have normal temperatures and there are many milder cases. There are hidden carriers,” he said.
Ma said also that the virus had adapted to humans and appeared to have become more transmissible. “There are signs showing the virus is becoming more transmissible. These walking ‘contagious agents’ [hidden carriers] make controlling the outbreak a lot more difficult.”
Ma said that the epidemic was accelerating and “may last for some time”.

Man... people online are going all Y2K about this. I've had to finally tell YouTube that I wasn't interested in any videos based off of that topic because they keep popping up in my recommended feed.
Meanwhile, nobody I know IRL has even brought it up.

Cleaned my pliers with it before pulling out teeth and I'm still alive.

Quote:Yanno, I've been trying to find disposable surgical masks here at pharmacies (even pharmacies associated with large stores like Walmart), medical supply places, and surgical supply places - and they've been out for over a week with restock dates mostly weeks away! Even Amazon is almost out of all brands. Nobody might be talking about it there, within your hearing - but here, they're buying a hell of a lot of masks! And hand sanitizers, which are also almost all out. (I found a few at Walgreens and stocked up, but none at Target where I went first.)

Yes. This is VERY true.
I don't recall at this time if I know that because I had a moment of weakness right after I quit drinking and knew I had a bottle of it in the house, or if I was doing research to find out if it was safe to have it in my house because it WAS poison.
It was one of those two things. My brain was still a bit foggy there in the early days of sobriety.
(lol @ "not India pale ale!")
