Then I guess you kinda avoid people during these outbreaks I know I would. Take care of your self wolf. I just found out that we have 2 people in Atlanta that are positive that's 30 miles from us really to close for comfort. They had just come back from Italy.

Top 10 Essential Facts About The C****av***s,
Listverse. com
ďżźJONATHAN H. KANTORďżź

There is a lot of fear and confusion surrounding the c****av***s called C****-**, and it doesn’t help that some elements of the media have been firing off information many consider fear mongering. Even a recent Listverse article could be considered as such, but fear is the last thing anyone wants to spread since even a global p******c doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. The information on the v***s is limited at the moment, as there will need to be a great deal of study before it is fully understood. In the meantime, information is power, so this list contains ten things you should know about C****-** and how best to protect yourself from misconceptions, misunderstandings, and outright media lies about it. This information is just the tip of the iceberg, so keep up to date on outbreaks in your area from official sources, and everything should be fine.

10. What Is A C****av***sďżź
C****-** is a c****av***s, which means very little to most people who don’t work in v******y or immunology. A c****av***s is a group of v***ses that can infect mammals and birds. In humans, they can cause respiratory tract infections, many of which can be treated with over-the-counter medication. The so-called “common cold” is the result of a c****av***s, and while most are well-understood and rarely more than an inconvenience, some can be lethal. C****-** refers to the outbreak of the disease, which is broken down as C****av***s Disease 2019.The v***s itself also has a name, but it’s a bit of a mouthful: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome C****aV***s 2, or SARS-CoV-2. Part of that acronym may be familiar, seeing as the world already went through a similar outbreak of SARS in 2003. The v***ses are related, and it wouldn’t be out of the question to call this new outbreak “SARS 2.0,” though you likely won’t hear any professional virologists say that in the media. Regardless, C****-** is a c****av***s, and it is spreading, but that’s not a cause for alarm; rather, it’s a cause to prepare and protect ourselves in much the same way we do when it’s cold & flu season.

9. Where C****-** Originatedďżź
It’s well known that the v***s was first seen in W***n, China, but it’s not fully understood exactly where it originated. C****-** is likely a zoonotic v***s, which means it can be t***smitted between animals and people. This has led researchers to look for animals that might have originally carried the disease. There are a lot of similarities between C****-** and two bat-derived strains of Betac****av***s, which means they are likely related. Because the v***ses share about 96% of the same genes, it was initially believed that bats were the source of the outbreak, which was pinpointed to the Huanan Seafood Market, where exotic animals are sold.As time went on, and more research was conducted, Chinese researchers were able to determine that C****-** shared 99% of the same genetic information as a similar v***s that infects pangolins. This suggested that pangolins may have been an intermediary host for the v***s, but the research wasn’t officially published, and much of the analysis remains unconfirmed. While determining the precise origin might help virologists better understand C****-**, doing so isn’t entirely necessary in combatting the spread of the disease, now that it’s been released into the human population.
ďżź
8. How C****-** Is T***smittedďżź
Since the first day the world learned about the W***n C****av***s, the fear of it spreading began to rise. How was it t***smitted, and what could be done to limit its t***smission? People have always feared Ebola, but that’s far harder to catch than something like a c****av***s, and it’s all about what it infects and how it is t***smitted. C****-** causes a respiratory infection, and it’s through a person’s respiration that it spreads the easiest. There are two known means by which the v***s spreads: person-to-person and through contact with infected surfaces.In a person-to-person situation, the v***s can be spread through close contact, which is generally considered to be a distance of six feet. The way a person can pass it on is through respiratory droplets, which are produced when a person coughs or sneezes. Covering one’s mouth when this happens helps alleviate the spread of the disease, and infected people should wear a facemask to reduce the risk of t***smitting it to someone else. But please heed the Surgeon General’s warning and don’t buy a mask unless you need one:

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #C****av***s, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

The other way it is spread is through a surface contaminated with the v***s. A countertop could have been in the pathway of a sneeze, which carried C****-** to its surface. Touching that, and then touching your mouth, nose, and possibly the eyes can result in infection.

7. How C****-** Is Detected Or Confirmedďżź
One of the biggest issues with detecting C****-** in a patient is that it presents much like the common cold. To combat this, researchers across the globe have been scrambling to come up with a way to test for the presence of the v***s, and this has resulted in several different testing methods. One of the best ways to check for the v***s isn’t to see if you can find the v***s in a person’s body—it’s to find the antibodies the body produces to fight the infection. The tests that look for antibodies are called serological tests,[8] and a firm in Singapore may have perfected a means of conducting this type of test to find C****-**.Antibody tests are probably the fastest and easiest way of detecting the presence of C****-**, but it isn’t the only way. There are tests currently being used around the world, which look for the v***s’ genetic information in a person’s saliva, mouth, nose, and anus. These tests use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, which is a process in molecular biology that rapidly produces billions of copies of DNA for study. While these tests can detect the presence of C****-**, they cannot identify people who were infected and ultimately cleared of it.
ďżź
6. Who Is At Riskďżź
There is no known immunity to C****-**, which means that everyone is at risk of catching and spreading the infection. That doesn’t mean this is a perfect time to panic; just because you might become infected, doesn’t mean you’re going to fall over dead in a few hours. C****-** can be dangerous, but like most infections, certain portions of the population are more at risk than others. Young children, healthcare professionals, the elderly, and people with a c*********d i****e s****m are the ones who are most at risk of becoming seriously ill from C****-**. When a healthy adult contracts the v***s, there’s a possibility that they will not show any symptoms at all, and won’t get sick. This is one of the reasons the v***s has managed to escape the confines of W***n, China, to infect the world. Infected people who are asymptomatic become unknown carriers, and even when an otherwise healthy adult does show symptoms, they are often mild and comparative to the common cold.

5. What Are The Symptoms Of C****-**ďżź
The first part of this block is going to list the symptoms associated with C****-** that shouldn’t scare anyone, but the last bit will be all about the more dangerous aspects of the disease. Don’t be alarmed, as these are the worst-case symptoms that won’t affect most people who are infected. The most common symptoms of C****-** are fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. These are the same symptoms most people get from the common cold, but they are the mildest possible symptoms a person can experience.For those who are under a greater deal of risk due to a c*********d i****e s****m, or meet the criteria previously mentioned, symptoms can become far more severe. C****-** can increase the chances of contracting pneumonia, it can cause multiple organ failure, and in some cases, it can result in death. These are the most severe cases, though all are of concern due to the ease by which it can be t***smitted from person to person.
ďżź
4. C****-** Mortality Concernsďżź
Yes, C****-** can end a person’s life, but that doesn’t mean the world will end up like it did in Steven King’s The Stand. The mortality rate for C****-** is estimated to be 2.3%, and while that number may seem low, it’s not. If you compare the mortality rate of C****-** to something more common like the flu, it’s considerably higher. The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1%, which sees an average of one death per 1,000 people. These numbers are determined via the case-fatality rate (CFR), which compares the total number of infected patients with those who succumbed from the disease.While C****-** is much higher than the Flu, it presents as a mild infection in the vast majority of people who have had it. The majority of people who have died in China have been elderly, and studies of deaths from the v***s show that the CFR jumps to 14.8% for people who are 80 and older while those between the ages of 70 and 79 have a CFR of 8%. For people who were already critically ill when they came in contact with the v***s, that number jumps to 49%, suggesting they are the most vulnerable members of the population.

3. Avoid Becoming Infectedďżź
In reality, there are steps you can take to avoid becoming infected, and chances are, you’ve been doing them all along. Because C****-** is a c****av***s, which is passed in much the same way as a common cold, the best way to keep from getting it is to wash your hands with soap and warm water, avoid touching your face after coming into contact with anything commonly used like doorknobs, and if you have to go outside, try to avoid sick people. Odds are, you do all of that already, so you don’t have to let C****-** upend your life or your routine. If you have concerns about winding up in a place with a lot of potentially infected people, you can avoid traveling and going to events with crowds, but that may not be necessary. If it makes you feel better to wear a face mask, you can do so, but make sure you get the right kind. The US Food and Drug Administration recognizes four off-the-shelf N95 respirators, which may be effective in stopping the spread of C****-**: 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8670F, 3M™ Particulate Respirator 8612F, Pasture™ F550G Respirator, and the Pasture™ A520G Respirator. These respirators are not suitable for children or men with facial hair, so it’s time so say goodbye to that ironic hipster beard!

2. C****-**, HIV, & Other Conspiracy Theoriesďżź
One of the reasons there are so many conspiracy theories about v***ses like C****-** is that few people truly understand it. Hopefully, this list will help with that, but there are people who hear a comment like, “This v***s may use the packing mechanisms of other v***ses such as HIV,” and their imaginations tend to run wild. That finding was published by scientists at Nankai University, and it’s true. The v***s does have an HIV-like mutation, but that doesn’t mean someone weaponized a form of HIV in a lab somewhere and released it upon the world, as some conspiracy theories have stated. These same mechanisms appear in many diseases as the result of natural mutations. That remark has everything to do with the means of fighting the spread of infection, and research like this helps push further research, which could hopefully lead to a cure or v*****e. You may have seen other conspiracy theories, including one about a new 5G wireless infrastructure being the cause of the disease, but this is so ridiculously false, it barely deserves mention. The most important thing to do when it comes to hearing these stories is, ask yourself if they make sense, see if they are published by reputable sources, and take a common-sense approach to anything you hear.

1. What To Do If You Think You’re Infected With C****-**
The very first thing you need to do is remember the words printed on the cover of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which are “Don’t Panic.” Panicking doesn’t help you or your loved ones, so you need to take care of yourself to ensure you don’t spread the infection and make sure you get the proper care. If you develop a fever along with symptoms of respiratory illness, you should call your healthcare provider and ask for their advice. They will know the right questions to ask to help determine if you’ve got the common cold, or if you have something more serious.If you fear you truly did come in contact with someone infected with C****-** and are concerned you may have it as well; you need to get tested. Because you are leaving the house to get checked, be responsible, and keep your mouth and nose covered. This will keep you from passing the v***s to other people, so if you have a respirator or surgical mask you can use, do so. If not, you can use a scarf or similar article of clothing. Your local hospital may not yet be equipped with testing kits for C****-**, so call your local public health department for information on the best place to go.

This certainly seems like another one of these "Jeri-r****d" manufactured suicides. It is just not believable in my eyes.

If people cannot realize just how wrong this is, then they are brain dead. This is a travesty. This dude can think he is wh**ever he wants to think he is . . . . but obviously, in looking at the picture of him--he is a male. Plain and simple. Real female athletes need to be shielded from those who are suffering from raging mental illness.

What I don't understand is why they identify as female want to be allowed into the locker rooms and bathroom of females so they don't feel emotionally abused but when they are alone in a bathroom or locker room with a lone female they suddenly get the urge to rape a lone female and suddenly I don't understand what happened I don't remember by allowing this puts very young children at risk. How hard is it to identify as female and get the bathroom and locker room privileges makes great opportunity for hunting for a p*******e or a rapist (personal opinion)

Barracuda when my youngest couldn't find a job he got very upset he and his friend had been job hunting when I came home he told me I don't understand I've never had a problem with finding a job. I told him business people are allowed to hire who they feel they can trust to do an honest day's work and if I was taking your app when you walk out I'd throw it in the trash he got upset said why I told him you're the exact opposite in appearance from the last job u got. I wouldn't let u walk my dog. His friend got pissed and left he just looked at me and went to his room. When I came home the next day he had zipped his hair off had on nice jeans and tee-shirt I said wow he smiled said I went back out job hunting today I start my new job tomorrow. So yes there is prejudice but they are allowed to hire who they feel comfortable with. Appearance does make a difference and if straight /gay /t*********r applys for a job I would say the same dont push your agenda on possible employers what you are is for your time what you are while working is their time you should follow the code of conduct and dress thats what they are paying you to do
