I fervently hope this thread soon dies from lack of new input,but doesn't seem like it will happen very quickly.

3 new cases here in my state in the last 2 days 1 in Fort Bend County (immediately SW of Houston) and 2 in Harris County which is the county that most of Houston is located in. All 3 are people that recently traveled to and returned from Egypt. None had symtoms at first so they went about their business for a couple of weeks before becoming symptomatic and being diagnosed with it, so it's likely there will be more cases in this area from those 3.

| quote | HOUSTON – Harris County officials say a man and a woman are confirmed to have coronavirus Thursday and are currently hospitalized. The female patient is a staff member of Rice University, officials said.
These cases are the second and third cases confirmed in the greater Houston area.
A “presumptive positive” case was announced in Fort Bend County Wednesday. All three patients returned from a trip to Egypt in late February where officials say they contracted the virus. They didn’t show symptoms immediately and so they went about their business as usual for a few days, officials said.
Officials are working to determine who else was on the trip with the three people and some people they came in direct contact with are under self-quarantine, officials said.
All three patients are currently hospitalized and are in stable condition, officials said. The patients from Harris County are from an unincorporated area of northwest Harris County, outside of the city of Houston.
"These cases are travel-related and, at this time, there is no evidence of community spread,” officials wrote in a press release. |

maryjane, I hope it does too. It actually is on the down slide in China, but these infections are going to be around for a while. Unfortunately.
Europe and South Korea are exploding right now. And we in the US hope that doesn't happen here.

Researchers associated with China's Peking University of Beijing have published a report that they say is based on evidence that the coronavirus Covid-19 has evolved into two different strains.
| quote | | Known as types L and S, type L made up around 70% of the cases the team sampled, which they described as the more “aggressive” of the two. |
|
But other researchers and scholars are disputing the significance of that report.
"Should we be concerned by the ‘second strain' of coronavirus?"

For those who just can't get enough Covid-19 related news coverage.
Oh, I just checked. I guess I kind of duplicated something that has already been singled out by MadMark.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-06-2020).]

If your dear leader doesn't want to protect you Canadians, fine. But, we might just build a wall to keep you and your countrymen from contaminating the US.

Things not to do these days:
When in Walmart getting the groceries and you grab the beer. It's probably a bad idea to holler down the isle to the wife "I've got the corona".
(I am so damn tempted to do it)

Does the "L" strain of the virus come with a lime?

There might be a silver lining to it. With any luck Comrade Idiot falls victim to his own stupidity.

Wow, is Iran getting hit now. They have been hit pretty hard already, but today they have registered over 1200 new patients of Covid-19. This is not a good sign for them. And of course as pointed out above, they are blaming the US for this. I guess if you don't have any real idea of what is going on or how to handle it, you just blame it on someone else. And of course you would blame it on the Great Satan if you are an Iranian leader. The US has agreed to help them out, but they are being true to their beliefs and refusing help until the US drops all the sanctions. Would you call that cutting off your nose to spite yourself?
