Any shelter in place to do lists? How to prepare etc?


Below are a couple good links for sheltering in place, though there are many more. Frequent washing of hands and wearing surgical masks are often recommended for prevention. Not sure if they'd help with this strain, though.

Just got home from Japan on a connection flight from ORD. I saw some reserve NBC defense folks I knew at the terminal C restaurant area in ORD, they were flying into Dulles, no reason stated. They are rarely seen together. I surmised they were going to some Fort Detrick meeting, but they said they were going elsewhere, which I thought was unusual.

Now it makes sense. Not good news, folks.

Some of my outdoors sky aiming collimated detectors are now chirping a little more than the nominal rising background for the last few years. Looks like the corona particles are starting to arrive. Time to shut down sensitive electronics and computers as a precaution.

I get the shot every year and in December I got nailed with the worst one I ever had. Intense full body pain, high fever lasting for many days, vomiting, the whole works. It was terrible. I should have gone to the hospital. Later on I found out that some older folks who got it in my area did end up in the ER. Whatever it was, it was not covered by this years shot at all. Based on what I had I can easily see if you had complications that you would be in big trouble in about 3-4 days.

If this is that, just be extra cautious if you get it and go to the ER. It will be worth the copay just for the fluids, trust me. If this is something else, then... onoes.

Real influenza of any strain, is not something to mess around with. It can **** you up bad.

Nuke,

Can you clarify? What do you mean they are rarely seen together? Sorry I'm a little slow tonight. Also, I'm drawing a blank. Where is ORD? TIA


Ok got it. ORD is O'Hare. Duh!

According to the flu board it's an H3 as identified by testing at the state lab, no further classification yet. No info on whether this is close to the Perth strain in the current vaccine.

Reserve NBC folks means Nuclear, Biological, Chemical government people. Influenza A cannot kill that fast as it only has a mortality rate of 6 percent. This is something else.

I'm not freaking out. A healthy dose of paranoia isn't a bad thing though, when you start hearing **** like 100% transmission and almost 100% death rate.

Though I agree, need a week or so to see if it gets legs.

good thing about high/fast death rate is the host doesnt remain viable long and reduces the ability of the host to continue to infect others. slower death rates and longer periods of being infectious is much worse.

A lot of that depends on how infectious you are before showing symptoms.

5th person in the hospital.. The original womans sister..

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/h....

"On Wednesday, a sister of Ruth Blake’s was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center for evaluation, a spokeswoman said. She has a fever, but does not appear to have other flu-like symptoms. "

it apparently takes ~5 days to kill you after onset of symptoms.. the last of which is coughing up blood before you die.
