Some nice things to know that seem completely absent in the news are, how long after someone STOPS showing symptoms should we wait before coming into contact with others? Now that I've just about recovered from China virus, do I have any immunity from catching it again? Tell me some things that make a difference, not doom and gloom 24/7 everyday in an effort to get me to panic over what was nothing more than a cold for me. I just don't want to be unwittingly carrying a deadly weapon that eventually ends up landing on someone vulnerable.

They are looking for people who have been diagnosed and recovered to donate plasma for the antibodies. You will probably be immune for for some time but this is a new virus so little is known yet. That part takes time, more time than it takes for it to spread unfortunately.

Yes. There are other articles stating same thing. It all about bumping the numbers, how well you hustle the fed govt out of taxpayer dollars. NY and CA are the biggest federal tax dollar leaches, and don't put in a fragment of what they take. Two of the biggest problems of America today.

The numbers appear 'bumped' because not all cases of CV are accounted for in the data. Some people have been exposed and not get it, or they don't get it bad enough to get it verified and report it. So this skews the statistics because not all cases are reported.

This is why the new testing equipment is so important. If the test shows more people have it yet do not come down with it, means they are virus carriers and can be included in the number of cases. When there are more cases reported and compared to the number of deaths, this will change the percentage rates of death vs infected to be attributed to the virus.
.

Someone also questioned if they had the CV; how long are they still infectious?
Generally, people can shed live virus for around thirty days after - give or take.

Another questioned - if they can get it again?
No; but you can relapse if you don't take care of yourself. The body builds its antibodies numbers up when you sleep. Not rest; sleep. When you first get a cold/virus (same thing), your immune system goes though a taxing phase - a fever - a process that finds a key antibody that fits the virus shape and then replicates it to beat the virus. So sleep is when your physical activity is at a minimum, the immune system is in full activation, and more antibodies can be made This is why you feel tired. But you now you're growing antibodies. IF you do not get adequate rest and DO NOT allow the body to continue to fight and finish it off; then relapse is possible. So, it is very important to get plenty of rest AFTER the symptoms appear to have passed, because that fight is still ongoing.

If I’m out flying my drone and someone shot it down, I’d be terribly upset, disturbed even. Man, getting even could be terrible for the other person.

You can have my Butterfinger but don’t lay ya finger on my DJI.

I've got a great game to play at your next Covid party........it's a drinking game. Many have played this before. You must do the socialist distancing thing with your small party. Requires BYOB of your favorite adult beverage, so no germs or virus is commingled and creates a new strain or species. Everyone gathers, social distances required, a good sized tv outside during the evening news so those cooking can participate and everyone has their "safe space", everytime the news commentator says the words Covid 19 requires a shot. Plain Covid is two shots required. Corona Virus is three shots. If they slip up and say "Chinese Virus" everyone is required to funnel a Corona beer. Individual funnels required. By the time the news is over, the burgers are burned, and everyone is puking and ain't concerned with eating anyhow. Unfortunately the is no cure, for drunken debauchery which ensues shortly after, and no one can even pronounce "Covid 19, Corona, and much less Chinese Virus "

This virus has been around longer that either Gov't is willing to admit. I got sick in early October. Symptoms were fever, chills, lack of taste and smell. muscular aches and pains.
Went back in to the hospital three more times and spent time in intensive care each time. I had my flu shot and a pneumonia shot to boot. I normally don't get sick with flu, ever. So why this year?
A genetically engineered virus could be targeted to get past normally immune system.

I thought you were flying a drone not a toy. If you lose one prop what happens to your drone? It's in the hard dirt.
If I lose one I get a notice on my ST-16 that the drone has switched over to five prop mode and I should land soon.
If somebody shoots my drone down I will send them 500 lbs of premixed Tannerite
