Hi Timothy!
I keep hearing about this happening (temperature taking). Since the
person can be contagious but a-symptomatic for up to 14 days before
symptoms occur, I keep wondering what exactly this is doing other than
stopping the folks who are most seriously sick.
Is this really just another flu strain though? It's a corona virus, but
so is the common cold -- that doesn't mean they are all the flu.
Now I hear this thing can be spread through the air (not just droplets),
which means the spread distance from an infected person is much greater
than the common cold/flu.
This is certainly some of the better news I've heard lately.

they are going to extremes to contain the virus no you can't believe
what china is saying but I do believe what I'm seeing
we just took a vacation to cebu for our anniversary
when you go to the airport they check your temperature even for
domestic before you get to the terminal
and check again before you get on the flight
resorts and hotels have to check your temperature before they let you
walk in even if just to eat inside
if you want to go into a bigger crowded areas like whale watching you
have to get all you vitals checked and get stamped that you don't have
the virus
in bohol nurses are getting infected
U.S citizens in china post on social media of police installing metal
bars on doors of anyone's home that refuse to quarantine at the hospital
as I'm a foreigner I'm not allowed to fly in or out any part of china
hong kong or taiwan until the virus travel ban is over
I don't mean to scare anyone just sharing truths I'm not that scared of
the virus as its just a new strain of the flu and I'm still young
if I was older I would be scared as a flu shot will not help you with
this yet and the is a mask shortage so your own doctor or nurse and
infect you
in the U.S though there are so few that have it and hospital resources
are so high there is nothing to really worry about there
but in asia where good hospitals are hard to find most houses don't have
proper showers nurses are out of masks its standard for kids to live
with grandparents
that can easily get sick and the flu is not common here as its always
hot so the immune system is not really ready for it
it is a very scary virus in asia but I don't see it being much of an
issue in the U.S

I used to think I was a cynic. Some people are an order of
magnitude
more cynical than me.

Really? Or maybe they just don't have a live real-time
omniscient feed of all information so they're reporting what
they think is true at the time it's said, or maybe rumors on
Facebook aren't all true.
