Quote:They are really just snapshots, with time stamps. It is so hard to find snapshot data with such a fast-moving event. These snapshots are what are statistically known as "instantaneous" data as opposed to "end of the event summary" data, or averaged data. I've noticed a lot of folk here do not understand any of that.

I guess people are just going to have to wash their hands with soap like normal human beings for now.

Sanitizer is great for situations where you can't leave your work station (like assembly line), for high-contact jobs like receptionists, fast food, and cashiers, where you have close minute-by-minute contact with lots of people (like caregivers, EMTs etc) and aren't always near a sink or can't wash your hands every minute.
Same goes for masks (not even respirators) which at least keeps those people from touching their faces. Everyone who MUST work with a lot of people should have a mask and sanitizer at their work station. It just seems like a job requirement nowadays.

It's more important for people who are doing a bathroom remodel from the 60's or 70's to have a mask.
How many bathrooms were remodeled this week where the workers were exposed to asbestos and who knows what because they couldn't buy any?

There's no point in trying to hide from it.
Might as well get it now and let the dust settle.
We're a year and a half away from having a vaccination that a lot of people are going to refuse to take anyhow.
I guess if you want to live the hermit life like me until it all blows over, then be my guest. Maybe it will morph into a version that is more agreeable with the host than this one is.
If that's why you'd put yourself through all this, I get it, but otherwise you're just postponing the inevitable.

I had tried to keep trakc of the early stages of the case spread for several reasons.
Now it is out-of hand.
But, as far as I can tell, US has not had any cases which resulted from contact with a person who we airlifted out of a hellhole hotspot.
If we brought them back to America, and then quarantined them, nobody got sick from them after that.
Sure, folk that we airlifted were infected beforehand, and then some developed symptoms afterwards (while in quarantine/isolation), but no fresh cases from those that we saved by evacuating.
Assuming my information about this is correct, I find that very impressive.
And an excelent model of how to effectively (and, really, perfectly) control the spread. having a perfect score/record in this endeavor is very telling.
I do welcome updates about any exceptions to this - if we find that any new cases have been found from contact with one of these evacuees.

No exception that I know of, but cases are spreading with unknown origins.
Ohio has had five detected cases, and it closed the schools. Because of the extremely high R-naught of unconstrained coronavirus, these five people wandering around undetected for three weeks, infecting people who have in turn infected others, leaves Ohio officials to estimate that there are as many as 110,000 cases of undetected coronavirus in Ohio right now.
Some people might call school closure jumping the gun; I call it incredibly foresighted and proactive.

I hear you on the updates. There are SO MANY "firsts" for SO MANY nations and states: First case. First cluster. First death. First community-acquired. First 100 cases. First 1000 cases. First 100 deaths. First lockdown .... It's impossible to keep track of them all, it would be a full-time job. At some point, you just acknowledge that it's a clusterfucked, terrible situation and just do your best to get thru it.
I WILL say, tho, that something very different seems to be going on in Italy and Iran. Their case fatality rates are way way higher (>6%) than any other regions except maybe China, and even China was only reporting about 2.1% (altho there is evidence that they were fudging their figures quite a bit). If this is a case of a different strain in those regions, and those strains spread, then this really will be like something out of the movie Contagion.
BTW, if you have any spare time I think you should watch it; aside from the usual excessive Hollywood flourishes it starts out with a bat virus in China. But it's really well-imagined and the progression of the pandemic follows a similar course to COVID19, which starts out slowly with individual cases and contact-tracing and winds up with too many cases to treat, let alone track.

Some oddball events surrounding the coronavirus
Quote:
MMA trainer pleads for help as he’s forced to wait with dead body of sister for 36 HOURS in coronavirus-hit Italy
“I had to force them to come and do the test. I’ve had to put myself in self-isolation. I might have the virus. To keep my sister alive, I tried to give her mouth to mouth resuscitation and no one cared, no one is calling me. We are ruined, Italy has abandoned us. But we must give each other strength.”
The trainer-turned-actor later confirmed that his sister, who had a form of epilepsy, had tested positive for Covid-19.
He said he had been forced to wait for 36 hours with her body at home – where elderly relatives were also staying – as he desperately sought funeral services who would come and take her body away for burial.
