Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

Maybe our parcels will pass through customs quicker as nobody will want to touch them :slight_smile:

I also assumed that the reference was to the postal department when it said “China Post”—both capitalized.

This should probably be the “coronavirus confirmed in China thread” (instead of post) , no? :stuck_out_tongue:

But hey, it’s an invitation to a competition in recreational typing

Are you guys sure the OP states China Post? Maybe it’s not there… but the virus makes you think it’s there… because YOU’RE INFECTED.

Good talk about the situation seen from insine China:

Thank you CheapThrills. That’s an excellent video about the health situation in China.

In the first video, at about 9:50, one the guy on the right says:

“The washing of hands with soap … is a rarity in China …. there is no soap in hospitals …”

EEEWWWW.

That first video includes a pointer and link to:
Laowhy86’s initial video covering the virus: China's Coronavirus is Much Worse Than You Think - YouTube

I’m going to start spraying Lysol on all my packages and items coming from China…

Fantastic video and what a great view into Chinese life and food culture.

Those guys at about the 57 minute mark dismiss the concerns about goods shipped from China.

I posted this link in another thread here:

I’m safe ,all the packages I get from China, I will not open them. :+1:

I don't think the virus will travel far via mail.

I do think it will travel pretty far person to person, unless something big changes, like a vaccine being developed.

A rep from the CDC said there’s a 6 foot danger zone from a infected person that coughs or sneezes.
I’d like to think it would be more if a person really rips a good “AAAaaaaaahhh CCChhhhooooooooo !!!

Are you serious? Are you saying you don’t believe that plagues are dangerous to society, and that today with jet travel, germs can travel globally well within their incubation period?

No I don’t think the world is ending, but yes, this is a disease breakout and needs affirmative action to quarantine and stop.

Check out this vid at about 1:20 it talks about the wet market conditions where the virus likely originated. It’s scary.

Hepatitis C remains infectious for up to 6 weeks, outside of the body, if kept at room temperature on a surface. Every virus is different, but there surely are some that remain infectious beyond a few minutes.

“A recent study by researchers from the Yale Schools of Medicine and Public Health revealed that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) can remain infectious for up to 6 weeks on surfaces at room temperature—resulting in a much longer period for potential transmission than was previously appreciated.” HHS Blog Posts | HHS.gov

Don't put your flashlight in your mouth ..."Oh " wrong thread !!
