Pretty awesome that every fucking door handle in my office is basically impossible to open w/o using your hand.
I dunno though some of that seems off. First of all it’s associated with a bat, not a snake.
Thought that was illegal nowadays?
i read somewhere most corona viruses come from snakes… so this one probably went from snake, to bat to human
I posted this in the coronovirus thread in the non-politics side of Chiefsplanet. Instantly 5 deplorables tattled on me. Their priorities are in order.

I was going to make a joke about you double-fisting coronavirus threads, but I forgot about CP. You’re triple-fisting!
Latest info is that it may have come from pangolins.
From the graph, uncontrolled spread doubles roughly every 2 days, maybe less.
50 goes to 1000 in a week. (4+ doublings). If left as is we can expect 16,000 after another week.
Ideally people staying home will cut the transmission rate.
Saw elsewhere that in total it’s been doubling every week. That takes into account
Uncontrolled spread (Iran? US?)
Limiting person to person contact after uncontrolled spread. (China)
Early quarantine to a small population (cruise ship, effective hospitalization of early cases)
Lethality rate tied to both which strain and who gets infected (eg a nursing home).

For me personally, wearing some lightweight cloth gloves goes a long ways to remind me not to touch my face (any gloves).
As a microbiologist when I have medical gloves on I don’t touch my face. No gloves I’m like anyone else.
Maybe we should sell dog cones for people as Trump brand coronovirus protection devices. If nothing else it would be hilarious to see those people walking around.

I don’t know the background but Last Week Tonight said the bat thing was racist bs.
The reddit thread of experts said bat and pangolin.
The journal Nature says maybe pangolins.

i feel like if it’s truly from pangolins then we probably deserve it as a species. dont we traffic the shit out of them to the point they are almost extinct? which includes boiling them alive in order to get the scales off easier…

I’ll admit I had to google what a pangolin was!

Whopping cough outbreaks are common. The vaccine doesn’t last forever and also too many people aren’t getting it. It’s the TDP vaccine I think.
Oh hey if a comedian told you that, well, case closed
Can’t believe this all started because some guy fucked a pangolin. Bad!

Any chance you can get management to leave all of the doors propped open? Also is the office ADA compliant? Doesn’t sound like it is.
