I know what peer review is

Saying this is pointless, most studies on this novel virus have likely not been peer reviewed yet since this takes a long time to do. According to this logic, any information we have is subject to change (which is true). So why not take into account the possibility of aerosol transmission, given the evidence we already have for this? Why put yourself and everyone in your vicinity at risk of infection when travelling if you don't even have methods of transmission solidified yet, *while* knowing for certain that cases can be contagious while asymptomatic and knowing the possibility for a higher death rate (and taking into account the serious symptom rate as well). That's very irresponsible.

I'm actually more concerned about the dwell time on surfaces than I am about aerosol

Both are bad.

Agreed

But the dwell time makes it more likely someone who doesn't even know a sick person has been around could get infected

Also peer review isn't a hypothesis, it's the scientific community accepting a full study.

Makes it more challenging to isolate

Anyway, I gotta go to bed. Plenty of sleep is among the best mechanisms someone like me can take to remain healthy. 🙂

Yes but this can happen either way. While virons in the air probably won't live nearly as long as on a surface they can just spread out farther.

Alright, take care then.

China is trying to blame the virus on America now. xD

Even though it either came into from their poor hygiene by having things like uncooked meat next to cooked meat i.e. Gordon Ramsey's nightmare, or them spreading a virus they were working with in a lab because they used poor protocols.

Ironically though, the countries that trusted China the most have been hit worst by the virus.

Italy signed up to the Belt and Road, and Iran and South Korea also refused to close borders and start screening travellers.

So the govts are getting their reward for sucking up to China and ignoring all the warning signs for profit.

The EU is bitching about the US being racist or whatever, but what Trump said wasn't wrong - they screwed up their response to the virus.

Taiwan was on the ball right away though.

They never trusted China, so never let down their guard.

China's only trying to retain control over their own populace with the US/Japan/Italy coronavirus conspiracies. If many of knew how badly the government handled this, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some uprisings.

And the EU can fucking suck it, why the hell would the US *not* restrict travel to one of the new major covid-19 hotspots.

the government is limiting encryption for app and website holders/makers

i love how congress wants to push on this while people are paying attention to the coronavirus

seems like fake news is getting into the way of real news

Republicans are scum - of course they are trying to push draconian legislation under the table...it's practically their MO

@Dr.Cosby It's bipartisan, 2 Democrats and 2 Republicans. Stop with this shit dude. When they fuck up, we can't give them a pass because we agree with them on some things. You are unfairly giving Democrats a pass when they are just as scum.

Both are.

GG @ᴏᴠᴇʀꜱᴇᴇʀ ꜱᴛʀᴀꜱꜱᴇʀ, you just advanced to level 3!

Because they are americans lol.

They agree on everything except on how they should let brown people in and control the birth rates.

@ᴏᴠᴇʀꜱᴇᴇʀ ꜱᴛʀᴀꜱꜱᴇʀ Lol you believe that?

Its obvious.

Even Bernie is a lib.

Same larper category as other democrats.

In europe he would be moderate left or left centre.

He is a capitalist like all the others, i support trump because at least he wants well, bernie just wants to prevent total system collapse while allowing the system to further strenghten itself.

Cringe reformist.

@Dabi2K Republicans and Democrats are not in the same league on policy, or quite frankly morality

Keep coping retard - the GOP a fucking joke; Republicans are literal shit. I wouldn't wipe with you, you'd make my asshole dirtier.

What a fuckign idiot. It's literally a completely bipartisan bill, and your take away is that "republicans are scum". Hope you get kicked out of this server for being a piece of shit.
