Things are really getting bad, don't click this if you have a weak stomach.  I don't know how we recover.

That joke is lame under the best of conditions.  But it really loses any humor, if you see the title and get a tmobile ad and can click off before the song even begins.

We know the US isn't testing nearly enough. Locally here we are only testing 65 or older with certain symptoms int he drive-thru. Orange County, FL tried to test 250 people yesterday but didn't make it. They also turned away almost 180 people.  The virus is certainly much more rampant than is being reported. If most untested are surviving then  that's a great thing.

With that said I'm positive Russia and China are covering up their numbers.  Chernobyl gives you a glimpse at just how devious they can be in covering up their problems.

BTW ... the car wash around the corner is still open. Didn't realize clean cars were essential did you?

No lockdown in the county unless that changed today

I'm specifically speaking about Orange County and not Seminole.

I think there's a matrix of how essential is it? vs. how safe is it?
I'd say mostly-automated car washes should remain open as long as the employees don't pose a risk to each other.  Think of the economy!

Restaurants are still all open for take-out here.  I practically never bring my lunch to work - I can count on my fingers the number of times I've brought my lunch in the last 15 years - but I think I might need to start?  Cross that bridge when I come to it, I suppose.

What exactly happens in a lockdown?

Is it different than the stay at home advisory we have here in MA?

Did somebody really cause this by eating a bat?

Different rules depending on the local government but in a lockdown only essential businesses can operate. In some places you can only be on the road to visit the DRs office, go the grocery store or go to your "essential business" to work. It's a step up from just a recommendation to stay home.

No.

1. No one knows if the source was a bat (although bat or pangolin are a likely source). There are a lot of different strains of corona viruses present in both, but none have been found that matches SARS-CoV-2.

2. Eating something is not a likely infection pathway. More likely handling of the animal / guano, either during capture, sales or slaughter.

3. The entire question is poorly framed, assigning individual guilt where none applies. If a burger chain sold an infected product, would you say the consumer who happened to buy that product

4. Current best guess at a "patient zero" is a specific woman who worked in a food stall in the wet market in Wuhan and contacted her doctor on 11 December. There are indications that there were infections prior to this elsewhere, though. That's the problem when the source hasn't been identified. It's not like this virus was present in only ONE animal and infected only ONE person. More likely, the virus is present in a population of bats or pangolins and has jumped to humans on more than one occasion (and could so again unless the source population is found and dealt with).

I'm pretty sure that they know it's due to pangolin.
