I’m just concerned about the cruise liners — which seem perfectly set up to spread the virus, not so much among well off passengers in their windowed staterooms with outside decks, but in the windowless shared below deck rooms used by staff and by low-cost cruise passengers.
Fortunately a lot of bat caves are closed to exploring due to the spread of white nose fungus, perhaps lessening the chance some sick caver will pass the virus to local bat populations.
I wonder what other mammals (and birds?) can host it?
The Chinese government has ordered all the people under quarantine to kill their pets, so I guess they figure dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. are likely carriers of the disease.
Please, stay calm. The virus has not even completed it’s foreplay.
There’s more to come. Does killing pets look like a sign of a well-thought-out strategy?
If you’re not having a healthy lifestile, it’s about the right time to adopt one.
Like: sleep a lot, but not around. Drink a lot: of water. Walk your dog and clean your lungs.
I could give you some recipes, but the crucial part in those is mostly the killing of the animal.
The things that occur during the dog-eat-festival in Yulin make the community officer look like Florence Nightingale or mother Teresa.
Coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, have been found to persist on inanimate surfaces — including metal, glass or plastic surfaces — for as long as nine days if that surface had not been disinfected, according to research published earlier this month in The Journal of Hospital Infection.
Over the weekend I heard from a source I have in the scientific community that a lab in the UK has identified a vaccine for the virus but it will take six months for trials to be completed.
Six months is extremely fast. And if it passes the trials, production takes another few months unless they take the gamble producing it parallel to the trials in anticipation of succes.
