At least in UK We have a Prime-Minister with some sense. People complain that the UK is not taking enough measures, but I think they have it right. You will regret it... No doubt you are following your unelected overpaid EU masters that could not organise booze up in a brewery. Unlike a lot of other countries the UK does not panic, just knuckles down to get things done, see you on the other side. Bill Measures have been taken on a national level, not by Brussels. It‘s amazing how some people stay short-sighted despite conditions nearby in Italy. But have fun with your independence and exploding numbers, we‘ve closed most borders, which really seems to be necessary if others think full soccer stadiums are good for building up immunity of the population. You see, this is not only your business: if one country acts stupidly, it creates severe external effects for all countries that have travel connections. I‘ve read what British epidemiologists have said about Boris Johnson‘s ideas. (Regarding „the Bar“: This thread was about Corona. Nigel can shift it; as long as it‘s here, I‘ll answer here.) P.S.: You‘ve got 6.6 intensive care beds per 100,000 inhabitants in the UK. A very poor number. Don‘t complain in May...

According to the CDC, the incubation period for this disease is 5.1 days - not 14. Additionally, the test would not be positive until the patient displayed symptoms, according to WHO. The test involves swabbing the inside of the nasal cavity to determine the presence of specific antibodies. When I worked in Thoracic Surgery I was tested weekly using the same technique for Hospital Staphylococcus. The test required 48 hours of incubation in the lab for results. Now, I don't know if or why the president decided to close the Pandemic Agency - or if that was his call. But there are so many agencies in the US Government that are duplicates I suspect this may have been the reason - just no way to verify this. Lee, the ultraviolet rays of the sun does wonders for killing many diseases, hence the use of ultraviolet lights at the entrances of many medical institutions. Getting out in the sunshine is a good thing, and I do this as much as possible, even just to sit on a deck chair in sunshine and enjoy the warmth of old sol. Spring is in the air here in Maryland, robins cover my lawn daily, daffodils are in bloom as are crocus. I love this time of year! Gary

To "Walk Softly And Carry A Big Stick" seems sensible as long as the stick is big enough.
