Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Son in Barcelona reports it’s all shutting up .shops bars , everything.. bout much left in supermarkets either . He’s been told to stop working for 2 weeks .
Valencia banned people from the beaches , so many people from Madrid ( epicentre in Spain) have fled to their holiday homes on the coast

I have had the same, been struck down with pretty much consecutive colds/flu since December. Viruses can fuck right off

Aren't antibodies transferred through breast milk?

So...hypothetically, if my wife got it....

Does anyone know whether once you have the virus and are over it, whether you can still carry and transmit?

No worries, this thread is just too fast-moving to rely on other comments not to get in the way.

I think bleach smells weirdly of jizz. or plane trees. Or both. Fucking hate it, only kept in cupboard for most toxic of situations.

Regular ecover bathroom stuff smells nice and doesn't kill the microbiome of the planet in disposing of it..

Been wondering this myself.

just seen #boomerremover trending. Mostly propagated by boomers losing their shit at millennials supposedly pissing themselves at the idea boomers about to be made extinct. Still, pretty awful sentiment, even if they are a bunch of racist gammons.

So...hypothetically, if my wife got it....

This would be a great solution for the cure of a super virus in an apocalypse film .

In all the millions of articles, I thought this one was very good:

The comments about religion are particularly interesting, I think. There have been quite a few on that topic in the current climate, including this one:

i don't know about geese but the virus is hitting the wild monkeys of Thailand particularly hard, says the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/fighting-monkeys-highlight-effect-of-coronavirus-on-thailand-tourism

Oh goody, another inaccessible information.

Body shop sending me a bunch of spammy emails about Covid 19, wtf?

This is a preprint
And it's only of 9 patients (so not very strong)
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.05.20030502v1.full.pdf

Which says
When aligned to viral load courses, it seems there is no abrupt virus elimination at the time of seroconversion. Rather, seroconversion early in week 2 coincides with a slow but steady decline of sputum viral load.

Which means (I think)
you get better around 2 weeks after infection and the viral load decreases steadily from this point.
So you might still have virus in your discharge a bit after "you feel better"/ your body starts producing antibodies against the virus.

You're also able to spread it if it's on a surface and you touch it and then you move it somewhere.

PM'd you a precis.

Thanks.

Just trying to get an idea of how things will play out between different generations of family members.

Ocado have substituted our hot cross buns for whole wheat ones.

Peak crisis.

To the golf thread....

Denmark is closing its borders, no foreigners allowed in.

I doubt if any true golfers eat mass produced shop bought baked goods

Denmark is closing its borders, no foreigners allowed in.

Will go skiing Monday onwards

He's talking about hot cross buns, not communion...

Beastie Boys tribute act caught in the crisis.
