It's not like the virus is automatically oozing out of every pore of the dog. If it's just in certain organs or in the blood stream, that's nothing you'd usually get in contact to. If it's in a dogs' saliva, that'd be something else.

SARS and COVID-19 are also transmitted via feces...
I've non idea why, but AFAIK nobody observed pet-to-human transmission

What did you expect if Canadian idiot health officials were saying ,as the toll was rising in China, if you see a Chinese person come say you support them and shake their hand.

probably because people are so stupid to think that every Chinese is a virus carrier while there are a lot of "Aryans" who travel to China and other countries and spread the virus everywhere

discriminating Chinese people besides being unfair and immoral is counter-productive regarding the fight against virus spread

Pensioners still cannot get basics at their supermarket. I just got back from our local supermarket. No toilet paper, no meat, no eggs, no pasta, no tissues, not nothing except junk food. The local chemist has run out of basic meds too. The supermarkets are out of control as is our government. Scott Morrison, our Prime Minister, triggered the panic by telling people to stock up.

The state government should impose limits and use the police to fine the hoarders. Better still, use batons on them. Another effective method might be to post on forum a photo of the face of their hoarders with their trolley of loot.

It takes time to see the effect of quarantine. I'm sure anyway that we'll have to wait at least another month before getting where China is now.

I'd expect two weeks or thereabouts for the effect to become visible. Basically, incubation period.

Meanwhile in Poland...

Even isopropanol sells for $10 per liter now :-DD

Thankfully I have some stock for personal use.
