Buy as much ammunition as you can afford as soon as you possibly can. Today, if you can.

Rogan: "Now, what can be done? What can the average person do? I see people walking around with masks on, wearing gloves ... Is that nonsense?"

Osterholm: "Largely, yes."

Osterholm: "We're not going to have a vaccine anytime soon. That's happy talk."

but buy one of his books

He's out of it by suggesting the virus is airborne

Go home today.
Wash your hands every 30 minutes
Do it again
Stay home

Good grief! I'm not buying ammo because I'm not bloodthirsty psycho. Hungry sick people are going to get a meal from me even if it is only Ramen noodles. I can get cases of ramen for $2.50. Cheaper than thinly veiled racism and murder plots.
I live by WWJD.

I’ve not heard that this virus can be transmitted by just air before now. Is he the only one claiming this?

"Wuhan" virus? Are you a big fan of Rep Paul Gosar, who is infamous for posting as truth a faked photo of President Barack Obama shaking hands with Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran? I guess that tells us the level of confidence we can have in the truth of your blog.

People have been lighting up this guy's inaccurate comments.

He's NOT claiming "it's airborne" in the sense of long distance transmission. He should qualify it with "might."

Listen to what he says. If you are BREATHING in someone else's breath, many things are transmissible. Vapor, like you being able to smell the garlic in someone's breath after a meal, can contain the virus, just as it contains the scent molecule you inhaled. 6 feet or so. And that's why they put folks in negative pressure rooms IF possible (IF they know they have it).

He's NOT saying it's "airborne" like measles, or FMD, which can carry 1/3 mile, or that you need to wear a stupid mask.

From Johns Hopkins: Transmission

"Both flu and COVID 19 can be spread from person to person through droplets in the air from an infected person coughing, sneezing or talking.
A possible difference: COVID-19 might be spread through the airborne route (see details below under Differences)."

"Transmission

While both the flu and COVID-19 may be transmitted in similar ways (see the Similarities section above), there is also a possible difference: COVID-19 MIGHT be spread through the airborne route, meaning that tiny droplets remaining in the air could cause disease in others even after the ill person is no longer near."

But he's right if he uses the word "might" in guidance as of today.

No panic. It's not a virus that's going to drive to your house. But read. Emphasis on the "MIGHT" and "NEAR" and most people do not get very sick at all.

Just like the newer "vapor detection dogs" that can smell explosives lingering in the air, it don't last long or forever. It's not hiding in a package from China. This is not a science fiction BS movie.

But remember, today's virus is different than next month's.

@1:53 PM: this is from James Robb MD, a virologist/pathologist with 50+ years experience. He contradicts the speaker, and in my estimation is more accurate than the speaker.

Dr. Robb says that it is mostly caught from surface contamination, and only airborne infection if someone coughs or sneezes DIRECTLY on your unprotected face.

You can Google "biography James Robb MD" to see his qualifications.

"This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and
sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon.

This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth."

@Bill Dees
I'm fond of Kung Flu. The tall Chinese manager at Mr. Chen's thought it was funny too. Anyone who frequents the grocery store knows who I'm talking about.

If the disease cannot be spread by breathing then why are 70 people in Tn and north Ms. quarantined because they had "contact" with an infected individual out of Memphis ? Did they all kiss this individual or what ?

Ammunition is and will be far more valuable than Ramen noodles. You can't see the big picture. I understand.

"Wuhan Virus," really?

Why don't you just call it the Chinaman Croak? If you're going to be a racist POS, at least go all the way.

Nice to see a local blog promoting a podcast consisting of 2 people discussing something without arguing or fighting.

Globalism kills.

Hey 5pm....For what is Ebola named? Lyme disease? Spanish Flu? Zika?

They are all named for the region from which they originated, or in the case of the Spanish Flu, where it was first ID'd. Race has nothing to do with it. Any idea where Lyme disease originated you racist dolt? Yes, you are a racist. That is all you see. You are the very definition of it. Any idea where Lyme is? It doesn't get much more white than Lyme, Connecticut....idiot.

And furthermore 5pm, your bullshit is exactly why people like me are fed up and why we started supporting Trump and will now cram him down your f'ing throat. We are sick of the boy who cried wolf, racist everywhere mantra that your type constantly blathers about. This is a great example. You are too f'ing stupid to stop to understand exactly why the name is what it is. You just figured since a white man (Hannity) said it, it must be racist. That makes you a racist (and woefully unintelligent).....idiot.

I guess you live by your rule....if you are going to be a racist, race baiting, uneducated moron....at least go all the way. You sure did.

Chinese wet market

Something that Thad Cochran got very right.

The role of China’s wet markets in the coronavirus outbreak

Wet markets — open marketplaces with stalls selling fresh meat and fish — are considered a traditional form of food retail in large Asian cities. Despite the expansion of modern supermarkets and grocers, wet markets have remained a mainstay for Chinese consumers and are often considered superior to big box stores.
~~~~~
... the narrow, crowded markets — brimming with everything from freshly caught fish to live poultry and reptiles — are “a breeding ground” for new and dangerous infections, said Evangelyn Alocilja, a professor and researcher of biosystems at Michigan State University.

The close contact between humans and a wide array of live animals makes it easier for viruses to jump between species, she said.

2:26 - You completely lost me at 'see above' and 'see below'. Which medical journals publish your nonsense?

I've been to wet markets outside of Beijing. All kinds of critters to eat, including raw eel, starfish, beetle pupa, and live scorpions on skewers. Not sure if there was any pangolin or civit cat meat in the back for special requests. It's tough to change cultural habits that are thousands of years in the making, but they've got to keep trying or this will keep happening.

@12:35
Same goes at the wet market on the I-55 Frontage road next to Cowboy-Maloney's. I love that place.

7:10 and 7:18 Thank you. That’s the response that needs to be given EVERY time. Those idiots are more concerned with being PC than they are their (our) own safety.

Liberalism TRULY is a mental disorder!
