--- Quote from: CatalinaWOW on March 15, 2020, 05:20:10 pm ---Leaders who are willing to accept the consequences will take action. If the actions result in a clear success the consequences will be small and well worth it. If the results are middling anything could happen. And obviously if the actions don't lead to success, or even make things worse there will be severe repercussions. The courage and wisdom of our leaders is being tested, and in many cases there are failures in both categories. --- End quote --- That was tested and failed a few weeks ago, before first cases occured in Europe/America. We could have had all the same border lockdown but without internal chaos. What's tested now is how our beloved leaders react under panic conditions ;) A common reaction is "nothing can be done just accept it" which of course shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. |

Let me know when you’ll find a peer-reviewed article that starts its conclusion with the phrase “we established” instead of “we hypothesize”. --- End quote --- well if you do not like how science works you can always try cow urine ;D |

--- Quote from: SiliconWizard on March 16, 2020, 02:15:03 am ---Yeah, since big malls and amusement parks are closing, people are trying the outdoors, which is not a bad thing in itself. They'll have to try wild nature though, because typical crowded outdoors such as beaches will be temporarily banned too. Even wild nature may be a problem soon. Does anyone know if the virus can be transmitted to any other species? --- End quote --- so far I read about a dog in Hong Kong that tested positive, but there is no report of pet-human transmission BTW significant viral load was found in dogs during Ebola epidemic but they didn't find any evidence of transmission to humans |

If an animal is infected, especially a pet (that people are very likely to get close to), how can it not happen? |
