Meh, there's like 9 people riding in separate cars in a rural area in that video.
It looks like much of the NYT coverage on CV is free likely, such as the above.Maybe posted already, a 5:27 minute video currently on the front page of nytimes.com, that I found to be informative

“How Coronavirus Attacks the Body”
Includes 3-D model of the lungs of a 59-year-old patient who died.

... The importance of viral dose is being overlooked in discussions of the coronavirus. As with any other poison, viruses are usually more dangerous in larger amounts. Small initial exposures tend to lead to mild or asymptomatic infections, while larger doses can be lethal.
From a policy perspective, we need to consider that not all exposures to the coronavirus may be the same. Stepping into an office building that once had someone with the coronavirus in it is not as dangerous as sitting next to that infected person for an hourlong train commute.
This may seem obvious, but many people are not making this distinction. We need to focus more on preventing high-dose infection.
Both small and large amounts of virus can replicate within our cells and cause severe disease in vulnerable individuals such as the immunocompromised. In healthy people, however, immune systems respond as soon as they sense a virus growing inside. Recovery depends on which wins the race: viral spread or immune activation. ...
Even known trails it's still easy to maintain distances from others, I would say shutdown the facilities and buildings, but otherwise there's no harm from people getting a walk/hike in at the moment. The local fire departments aren't at any more risk of being called out for a rescue then any other busy weekend/day.Known trails are crowded, rural areas don’t have a lot of medical facilities, search and rescue etc is better off not being deployed.

@simply1 this was why I disagreed. Don’t know that particular park so maybe a particular park has issues but I was disagreeing in a general stance.Even known trails it's still easy to maintain distances from others, I would say shutdown the facilities and buildings, but otherwise there's no harm from people getting a walk/hike in at the moment.

I honestly do not know. Like Reynolds has said, we've taken this in incremental steps, whether I or anyone else agrees with that approach. If one of these regions does end up getting to a 10, do we shut down that region or the entire state? What qualifies as a shut down for Kim and her team?what is that in fran-con terms?
That's a great article and looking back, seems to make a lot of sense.It looks like much of the NYT coverage on CV is free likely, such as the above.
I believe the article below is probably not, freely accessible if you are over the article limit that is, as it is in the opinion section. But it has a lot of good medical information on effects of low versus high exposure to the virus, and worth clearing your cookies/ history perhaps, if necessary to access.
These Coronavirus Exposures Might Be the Most Dangerous
As with any other poison, viruses are usually deadlier in larger amounts.

Ever since Governor Reynolds has been giving these press conferences, she's said "We're doing everything necessary to make sure we protect all Iowans and especially Iowans that are most at vulnerable."
If she continues to ramp up restrictions, you're obviously not doing whatever it takes, within obvious reason, to protect all Iowans.
Is anyone else having trouble seeing the embedded tweets or is that just me?

These drugs have been around a long time. I continue to see articles like this pop up and don't understand why they seem to be surprised by the side effects. I would think they would be well known already. Unless they are having some adverse effect with the virus.

Done some take out but it's involved wiping down containers, separating food from original casings, etc. I'm making the dumb decision to believe that it doesn't transmit via food but I've yet to see any reports that it does. Also it's all been cooked food.
With groceries and any mail, I've waited several days before eating and opening, including rinsing anything like fruit or veggies. I need to get clementines or something that include many in one package. Buying 20 apples feels like hoarding. I'd like to get some fruit either way though....I feel like I can eat a ton of fruit without worrying about weight gain.
There should be a thread for what techniques people are using for this kind of stuff. For example when I return home I wash my keys while I wash my hands. I've worn gloves out a few times and thought of just scrubbing and soaking them in a small tub with hot water and detergent, then just air drying.
It's working now!I can never see embedded tweets, it's a firewall thing.
Just in case you have an N95 mask, here is how to correctly put it on.
