Global Corona-virus Pandemic?

The Florida Department of Health’s (DOH) silence about coronavirus is due to a Florida statute that prohibits officials from commenting about potential cases involving coronavirus pandemics.

The law allows the DOH to conduct “epidemiological investigations of public health significance,” but classifies the information as confidential.

“Information is to be made public only when necessary to public health.” What is considered “necessary to public health” can vary.

In the instance of coronavirus pandemic information, it will only be made available in the event of a confirmed case because….

It can also spray and disinfect large trafficked areas of 5,000 square feet in 30 minutes.

It is currently only being used in first responder vehicles and…

It is called the COVID-19 vaccine and it is going through pre-clinical trials. They are getting closer to releasing it for…

Coronavirus is a tricky little bugger that likely escaped a laboratory in China. The biggest problem we will likely see, is panic shopping.

The best time to buy a 14 to 30 day supply of food and medicine for your families and pets, IS BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY NEED THEM.

This is a lesson all Floridians should know. But only a small minority practice.

Corona virus is 50 times easier to catch than the traditional flu or cold, which is why its spreading so fast globally. There are hundreds of ways to catch corona virus, such as touching anything that has been previously touched or "air borne contaminated" by any asymptomatic person who is infected, such as touching:

• gas pump handles while refueling car at gas station
• cash
• ATM buttons
• shaking hands, hugging or touching another person
• guardrails on steps
• door handles
• grocery stores i.e. push cart handles, basket handles, cashier's conveyor belt, fresh produce placed on a shelf by an employee, cans, etc.
• restaurants i.e. silverware, cups or plates placed on table by an employee, pulling out chair to sit down, food prepared by an infected person, etc.
• malls and stores (review all of the above)
• airborne coughs or sneezes
• touching your eyes or nose
• placing contaminated food or fork or spoon in your mouth
• chairs, furniture or countertops at hospitals and clinics where infected patients have visited
• etc.

Eventually everyone will catch a variant of it and will develop a natural immunity to it. It will probably take three to six months (or longer) for it to play out globally and nationally.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force and is the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, said that the rapid spread of coronavirus in the U.S. has risen to the level of an “outbreak” — and is possibly a “pandemic.”

It has infected 100 people, killing six in the US — and is “an evolving situation.”

Fauci urged the public not to compare coronavirus to the seasonal flu — because of the infection’s alarming mortality rate.

Fauci said, “If you look at the people who have come to the attention of health authorities, that’s 2 to 2 ½ percent. But even if it goes down to 1 percent, that’s still 10 times more lethal than the standard seasonal influenza.”

“We need to think about the possibility that if we get a major outbreak in the U.S., that means:

• closing schools
• canceling events with large crowds
• canceling travels so that you’re not on an airplane with people who might be infected
• and...”
