    US just jumped mortality by 100. Intensive care specialist Hugh Montgomery: The average flu is about 1.3 to 1.4 contagious. that is in a community each person who contracts it will pass it on to 1.3 to 1.4 people on average. So 10 generations of transmission causes about 20 infections. 1 > 1.4...

    Now that testing is underway at an almost reasonable pace in the U.S. it has jumped to #3, just below Italy and China in the number of infections. They do. Why is irrelevant but tens of millions of people look to exalted authority figures regardless of nationality and take their word as gospel...

    1. I grabbed the first and last reference from a very long list. 2. Hydroxychloroquine in the form of Plaquenil, an antimalarial, is available over the counter in some countries and handed out like candy by physicians in many others.

    @Summit Decontaminating and reusing. Excuse if I sound redundant or whatever here. Sterilizing is pretty much the same as debridement. If you can't supply an environment where all organisms and spores cannot survive mechanical energy has to be applied to facilitate the kill. In an autoclave...

    i'd suggest raiding the overalls discarded from surgery along with the discards and cramming the whole pile into a tub filled with around 200 ppm chlorine for 24 hours. Call it a 99% get by. They should hold up to the bath. Or if you have a hospital connection, depending on workload in CS, when...

    Meanwhile, out in the field... minor trials and tribulations Change outs and decontamination between patients just isn't going to happen, especially door to door health checks.

    I will certainly avoid any BS. What I stated stands and is a fact. Deniers in red silly hats all over the midwaste. Do you have a problem with the president fessing up, being honest, and confronting this impending disaster head on? Our ONLY line of defense right now is complete transparency and...

    Addendum. It's pretty obvious why this went pandemic. If average person contracts this they will likely write it off as a cold of seasonal flu. I did until my wife caught it and developed SOB. So I wouldn't be surprised if reported cases is around 5% - 10%. Let's keep in mind it was in the wild...
