6. HOW DO YOU GET A TEST KIT???

7. I live in Northern California, 45 minutes away from Sacramento. And my Boyfriends been very sick for about 5 days now. And we can’t seem to get a kit. And it would be nice to get 1.

8. WHERE'S BILL GATES WHEN

    Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic

    Dear Colleagues,

    As some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.

    The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.

    Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.:

    1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.

    2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.

    3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip – do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.

    4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.

    5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.

    6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands.

    7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!

    What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US:
    1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.
    Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average – everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.

    2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you – it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth – it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.

    3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.

    4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.

    I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available.
    I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us!

21. Hay Jerks, how about telling us how many Influenza deaths this winter as well. The News is full of such Hype it’s ridicules. Doom and gloom just like in 2009 with H1N1 FLU 🤧

22. People are blaming Trump for this so I guess that means that the swine flu that killed over 4000 Americans was Obama's fault!!!! More media hysteria.

23. 1400 people have died of the flu just this flu season across the Nation .This is a scam and they will find any way they can to blame it on Donald Trump. The stock market will climb back up they will realize it's not working and the virus will just vanish.

24. My sister came back from Europe through San Francisco through customs with tons of Chinese coughing and sick. It was there Chinese New Year period. One week later she is in bed with the flu. She said the flu lasted 2 weeks, it was the worst she ever felt. No testing. She spent 2 weeks in quarantine. No matter what prepare for this.

25. https://youtu.be/SZG1v5EcwUI
    I don't believe a word reported by @abc.

26. I saw a picture where news crews went into a grocery store pulled everything off the shelf on half of one aisle to make it look empty and they were doing their story in front of it to look like people had panicked and cleaned out the grocery store, so forgive me if I am skeptical of MSM and BS coverage.

27. Nice to know China was flying the American flag and protesting the communism then they start the coronial virus now the streets are empty funny how crooked government works

28. STOP TRAVELING OUF OF THE COUNTRY AND SELF QUARANTINE IS NOT ENOUGH YOU FECKING IDIOTS I AM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE IDIOCY THAT WILL LITERALLY KILL US

    Many with the virus go symptom-less …
    Do not wear a mask unless you have symptoms …
    Hmm… genius, doc. Genius.

30. Stay home. Call uber for delivery of your needs, and wash your hands after you get your delivery. The virus is being down played and America is the worst testing country of all countries. Even a pet dog tested positive.

    This virus is being covered up by refusing to properly test the citizens because they don't want to rock the boat for totally political reasons. It's loose in our communities. CDC allowed unprotected people to enter and leave a protected facility from people that flew here straight from ground zero in China.

    Chiniese are saying they left China and came to America and were never tested at all.

    Stay home until this passes, or at least until they start a serious testing program.

    At this point all they are protecting is how much information they're going to release to the public.

    The Potus still insist that only 15 people have been infected. That alone says it all. To him "It's a witch hunt". Why test for a virus that's no worse then the flu. Right? WRONG

31. Everything is made in China! Including our Viruses! They are worried about the lady in California who got the Virus without traveling ? I am worried about the person or persons on the loose who gave the lady in California the damn Virus!
