Warm enough that I was comfortable without a coat. Picked up a few groceries at Meijer. Disappointed that my doctor did not call in an extra prescription refill, though his office said they did. From my pandemic planning briefing: - A novel coronavirus — first identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China — has spread rapidly over the last few weeks. - The virus causes a disease named COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019). - The virus spreads easily and sustainably from person to person. - Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). - Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. - By touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes (but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads). - The most commonly reported symptoms included fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath, and most patients (80%) experienced mild illness. - Those infected with the virus can spread it for up to 14 days before exhibiting symptoms, though transmission is most common from those exhibiting symptoms. - Approximately 14% of those infected experience severe disease and 5% are critically ill. - Illness severity is associated with age (>60 years old). - There is currently no known effective antiviral therapy for COVID-19. - Oxygen therapy is the major treatment intervention for patients with severe COVID-19 (ICU ventilators). - The disease has spread widely in China, Korea, Japan, Italy, and Iran. - There is now limited community transmission in the United States, notably in California and Washington. - The CDC considers infection risk low for most Americans, although they have not conducted broad screening for spread of the virus. - The CDC says a COVID-19 epidemic in the U.S. "is a matter of when not if". - Widespread transmission of COVID-19 may overload the healthcare system (number of ICU bed). - Public places, including schools, may close. https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200301-sitrep-41-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=6768306d_2 Hubei: - Total population 59,000,00 - Confirmed cases 67,000 - So, like, a 0.12% infection rate? Can that be right? But, then, some sources (e.g., John Oliver) says to expect an overall infection rate of 40–60% of the population? Home ---------------------------------------- Finished reading The Mothman Prophesies last night. Been listening to The Tiger during my commute. Very interesting. Lots of great tidbits and side stories. This aside: A South African paleontologist named C.K. Brain studies baboon troops in the 1960's as proxies for early man. When it's cold, the baboons spend the night in caves. Brain wants to know how much the baboons fear the unknowns of the darkness outside. He decides to hid inside the cave before dark. Brain waits for the baboons to settle in to sleep before revealing his presence. Pandemonium ensues. None of the baboons flee the cave, and he and they spend a very tense night together. https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports Watched a couple episodes of The Curse of Oak Island.
