Still waiting for my package from japan. It shipped out last month on the 22nd.
I shoulda used ems and not sal
You sure you still want that package if/when it gets here breh
check Amazon constantly, I mean every 30 min just hit refresh, I was finally able to pick up a 3pk for $25
Damn, they running 25$ for a 3pk??
when I grabbed these n95 joints .. it was 22$ for a 20 pack.. that’s crazy
They say the mask don't really work though. I may prevent you from spreading it, but I think you can still get it through your eyes.
As far as mask, working at a hospital we use a supplier called medstock. I don't see why you can't use a scarf in the meantime.

You still need to wear mask to prevent further spread. There's a reason Chinese government forces everyone to wear mask outside despite WHO saying only sick people need it, they know there's lot of asymptomic carriers among the population so it's safer if everyone wear masks.

I'm thinking that this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. I mean, I'm about to drink some vitamin C right now, and I live in New York City surrounded by all sorts of foreigners who all have their own unique biological systems, but I think this is being a little exxagerated, no?
I plan to travel to Asia again next year, so hopefully this will all be figured out by then.

there’s a great chance it should be stabilised by then.
thing is, it is an aerosol transmissible disease making it extremely easy to spread. I could have it, and live in the same building as you and under the right conditions it’s opportunistic enough for you to catch without ever coming into contact with any of my infectious droplets.. just becuz the virus exists in the air.
if it’s on the lower end of the most recent estimated case mortality projections of 0.25-4.0% , that wouldn’t be to crazy .. let’s say .5% (that’s still 5 times higher than influenzas roughly 0.095% rate) that wouldnt be catastrophic. Still 1 in 200 would die, primarily but not exclusively the elderly and those with comorbidity (hypertension, COPD etc.)
the issue that it causes is when in a situation like Hubei, where the cases outpace what a medical system can handle. If you have 10s of thousands of cases and 10-15% develop some degree of viral pneumonia from the initial infection and then subsequent secondary bacterial pneumonia.. it makes it extremely difficult to provide oxygen for and treat that many serious and critically ill patients.
not to mention, medical staff have to be on point because of the possibility of aerosol transmission. Over 1,700 medical workers in China have been infected, at least 6 have died, including the Director of the hospital in Wuhan.
If effective quarantines are used and diligent tracking of contacts from suspected and confirmed cases is implemented, we should be able to mitigate the pandemic but at this point, it’s pretty undeniable that it will be a pandemic and will effect a lot of people, both medically and the economically.
Keep taking vitamin C, D.. keep healthy overall, practice meticulous hygiene (hand-washing, minimise touching of the face) and stay hopeful that it doesn’t explode in a community near you. We will all be str8

Thank you for providing a thoughtful, well articulated medical outlook in here instead of the typical knee jerk, emotionally based bullshyt talking points that seems to be bursting at the seams of this thread
I think the US should start limiting flights to more than just China at this point.
