if this is the case then our turkey has already been cooked in terms of containment/prevention.New #China study shows #COVIDー19 can spread more readily in certain conditions. Hunan province researchers found virus in air-con bus:
-traveled 4.5m (15 ft) 2x official “safe distance”
-stayed in air for 30min

Yes, people will be able to go out to supermarkets and restaurants as normal.Larssen wrote:
It doesn't affect livestock or crops so I don't see massive food shortages occurring.
And delivery drivers and grocers and canners and farmers and machinery repairmen will be exempted from the quarantines and allowed to perform their daily tasks.Dilbert_X wrote:

Actually yes, it's not exactly the black death or ebola. Banning non-essential travel and any form of public gathering will help. I don't believe our food supply is in serious danger.Jay wrote:

It's happening.Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) on Tuesday announced schools, places of worship and other large gathering spots within a one-mile zone of the city of New Rochelle will close their doors for 14 days, and National Guard troops will help deliver food and disinfect common areas inside the zone.
I am going to be one of those people once my sister brings it home today.The first fact is that, at least in the initial stages, documented cases of COVID-19 seem to increase in exponential fashion. On the 23rd of January, China’s Hubei province, which contains the city of Wuhan, had 444 confirmed COVID-19 cases. A week later, by the 30th of January, it had 4,903 cases. Another week later, by the 6th of February, it had 22,112.
The same story is now playing out in other countries around the world. Italy had 62 identified cases of COVID-19 on the 22nd of February. It had 888 cases by the 29th of February, and 4,636 by the 6th of March.
Because the United States has been extremely sluggish in testing patients for the coronavirus, the official tally of 604 likely represents a fraction of the real caseload. But even if we take this number at face value, it suggests that we should prepare to have up to 10 times as many cases a week from today, and up to 100 times as many cases two weeks from today.
