Sounds like more PC bull crap legislation keeping America from finding out an answer to a great question.

They should have been self quarantined at the minimum.

Amen!!!

So how many died protecting our freedoms in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam? A lot more than will die from Covid-19.

It's my understanding the incubation period for C-19 is 14 days. Oh....

Just learned an attorney, yes, you just know it had to be, an attorney with whom I had a meeting with, and shook hands, texted me and he has tested positive recently. We met a week ago Thursday, so that is 10 days. So far I don't have any symptoms. But still 4 more days to go. It just had to be a frickin' barrister! :icon_roll:

He's a lawyer! He's already afflicted with illness :shocked2:.

Two things: 1) I did use his secretary's hand sanitizer after the meeting and 2) just heard the incubation period is actually 5-7 days. Given that, I am good!

Re: Covid - 19

I did not know this...

the 1968 Hong Kong Flu pandemic began in the US in California, brought here by troops returning from Vietnam. Only a handful of soldiers were infected but no one knew about it, and they were not quarantined in any fashion. It spread like wildfire from there. Over a two-year period it killed 100,000 Americans, and close to 1.5 million worldwide.

The Hong Kong Flu is H3N2 and is related to the much worse pandemic of 1957 "Asian Flu" (H2N2). And every "normal" flu outbreak we see today in the US is a direct offspring of these two bugs. In other words two viruses, both started in Asia, and are now a permanent reality here. Now, we see another Asian virus, this Covid-19, a separate, but equally troubling, virus that now here, will mutate into other forms and has become permanently rooted here.

Thank you Asia!

BUILD THAT WALL!!! (and I use that to also mean travel controls (airports) from "dreg" nations)

The Russian flu in the early 1978 is the one that kicked my wife and my ass hard. She ended up in an ambulance with an extended stay in ICU while I had to suffer and recover isolated at home.

I don't see a reference to a 1983 outbreak. There was a 1978 Russian flu epidemic. But it was a direct offspring of the 1957 version and most adults at the time had a built-in immunity. As a consequence it mostly affected young people, those 23 and younger at that time. Perhaps in 1983 it was a very isolated outbreak, wherever you were.

That's what I meant. It was 1978 right after we first moved to Houston after graduating from Tech in Nov. 1977. I'll correct it.
