Coronavirus in Schools
- A Chicago Public Schools special education classroom assistant has tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of cases in Illinois to six and ratcheting up local anxiety over a disease that’s spreading fast around the globe.
The patient was a Chicago woman in her 50s who works at Vaughn Occupational High School in Portage Park, officials announced at a City Hall news conference hosted by Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Classes at the school are canceled next week, officials said.
What is the Department planning if ALL the schools are closed for weeks?
What is the Department planning for desk crews, lockup people and the regular cops on the street to prevent acquiring and spreading the disease?

Nothing.
No plan. It’s a little worse than the flu. The regular flu kills thousands more and the panic is going to destroy the world economy and that will kill millions.
What about the newly promoted detectives, sergeants and Its who'll be in the academy for 6 weeks?
All in the same place at the same time.
Ask Charlie, he's the Chief
(chuckle, chuckle, chuckle)
Ah Coronavirus... The new media darling. For good reasons.
Don't ignore the risk as it exists, yet do not overhype the risk either.
The Misleading Arithmetic of COVID-19 Death Rates
https://www.cato.org/blog/misleading-arithmetic-covid-19-death-rates
Your answer SCC is NOTHING. The city and department aren’t proactive. In fact, they’re barely reactive. When it comes to their first responders they unresponsive at best.
Oh my god!
That s 6 people in our entire state!
How many people in our fell down with regular flu strains ?
Must be thousands ,
Just wash your hands and control mass migrations from China and other unsanitary 3rd world places.
I bet those Afghan & Syrian migrant camps in Lesbos Greece have bad sanitation and disease .
How bout stop being a bunch of pussies and let our kids get the virus to build their immune systems up. It's less than a common fucking cold. Stop panicking. You are more likely to be killed by Hillary
They were promised hand sanitizer in twenty four.
He had a West Coast strut that was sweet as molasses
But what really knocked me out was the Cheap Sunglasses
I’m sure you’re playing devil’s advocate but this, absolutely highly contagious and worldwide epidemic, is no more harmful than a serious strand of the flu. Mind you the flu does kill people, it’s no joke. This affects people who are elderly or no healthcare. I,E. Communist China. I’m clearly not saying that’s something to overlook. But normal people infected, kids included, will be sick and be fine
Some extremely salient questions for Beck and his boys & gals to confront while Babs West takes a nap. Thank you SCC for axin' !

Oh WTF this isnt Bubonic plague in 1347.
Kids are made of rubber.Tell the parents to keep the kid home and wipe down the classroom and send 'em back to school. If they start sneezing or have a fever send them home. This virus is already burning thru the world, the world just doesn't know it yet cause most people have very limited, if any, sickness. Or they just think its the Flu.
16% of the USA population is 65yo or older people. Some are going to die of something. Corona or the Flu.

Well it's a relief to know that we are in good hands after that news conference, neither one of those clowns could even read their own written scripts, Groot looked like a lost child at that circus...
Do they still have those PPE kits (gloves, paper apron & paper mask) in the trunks of the squads. I remember we had to check for them on the Sunday vehicle inspection. They were so dirty you needed protection to pick them up. They would be useless for protection from diseases but might provide protection to your uniform if you were eating powdered donuts with your coffee.
It's going to get worse. Flights from infected Italy and South Korea are still flying into USA. O'Hare!
Was only matter of time. Good Luck.
Many cpd officers are old enough and unhealthy enough that they are prime candidates to die from covid19.
The city would experience a major boon longer term from a die off of older cops as the pension plan shortages would be dramatically reduced and health care coverage would be far less expensive. Win for the city too as they can replace older cops with cheaper new cops.
Might be the homeless infestation in police stations will serve a useful purpose after all. And with masks and other ppe to protect against it all but unobtainable, covid will spread even faster thru the ranks of cpd saving the city even more money.
I knew we were going to be effected!
My neighbor has a kid at this school and the neighbors are bringing them groceries and supplies today.
By dropping them off on the front porch.
But that does not matter!
This neighbor along with my wife and others were at lunch and shopping this past week?
Get ready for the city to be quarantined!
This has been here since January, not the story from February?
Have not read one thing from CPD or City Health?
But keep going on Ambulance calls since none available?
What does city do when we are affected by it?
This will shrink the CPD response quickly!
For the police? Zero planning.
Thousands die every year from the flu but nobody runs around with their hair on fire closing this and cancelling that. I'm starting to think there's an agenda with this mass hysteria being peddled by the media and left. Let me get my tin foil hat on and think about it.
I totally get it, we have always tended to deal with the carriers of most of the stuff you don’t want to go home with....
And I know I sound cold-hearted because people have died, but.....
It was Anthrax, then
West Nile, then
SARS, then
Bird Flu, then
E. Coli, then
Swine Flu, then
Zika Virus.
Now Corona.
I’m sorry if I’m not getting as worked up as everyone else about it.
It’s always the end of civilization, I get it.
As they say, “this too, shall pass.”
The plan is there is no plan! Then there is this but don’t forget during when Obama was president the media that is run by the Democrats was not constantly every three seconds putting something out there look at the statistics compared to what we have lots of media hype;
On October 24, 2009, President Barack Obama declared Swine Flu a national emergency in the United States. On November 12, 2009, the CDC reported an estimated 22 million Americans had been infected with 2009 A H1N1 and 4,000 Americans have died.
With that being said the insanity this is causing all over the world and in the United States, the Democrats are doing anything And everything to upset any type of progress the president is doing what he can President Trump is the greatest president we have ever had! If they close at Chicago Public schools it will result in billions of dollars saved for the taxpayers, due to the fact they will not need So many teachers to teach any online stuff the propaganda that are teaching the children anyway it’s not good. Then also we had a bonus we don’t need all of these administrators making all this money at the Chicago Public high school headquarters they could stay home matter fact they can lay off tens of thousands of them I don’t know how many there is a lot of them lay them off save us money there you go mayor there’s your savings and use that money to pay the Police Pension fun where is winning right there.
God forbid the schools are closed and the little geniuses aren’t given their free breakfast and lunch! The city will make special deliveries to every address. They’d relocate the free food at a local library, but the future scientists will only show up for the food, not to study or to take out books.
Their plan is bupkis. You have JB the hut and groot on TV talking shit on how readily prepared Illinois is. The only thing JB is prepared for is his next meal. They are ridiculously incompetent just like the state of Illinois and the shit hole Chicago.
Officers: Thank You for your courage and bravery each day. Now use your time off wisely to procure items for you and your family.
OT...nice job to the investigators in the Gage Pk incident by covering the plate up.
Now they say Coronavirus is not any worse than seasonal flu. Far more people, mostly elderly have died from flu than this thing. It's a media bullshit campaign to make like it's Trump's fault. More fake news. When Trump is re-elected, he should really clean house, and appoint Rudy G. Atty Gen. and watch the fun begin.
What is the Department Planning...?
I've been on this Job over 20 years. There is a Plan..? Who Knew???
The department is going to do the same thing that's being done to prevent the spread of the common cold and the flu. Tell people to wash their hands and stay home if you're sick. Calm down people.
Check your email. The department sent communication along with an Oscar winning performance video of Waller explaining what to do.
Boring!!!
A lot of media hype. Check out the real stats below.
Infections -
COVID-19: Approximately 101,781 cases worldwide; 260 cases in the U.S. as of Mar. 6, 2020.
Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.
Deaths -
COVID-19: Approximately 3,460 deaths reported worldwide; 14 deaths in the U.S., as of Mar. 6, 2020.
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year.
If you’re reasonably healthy you will be fine. The flu is a bigger threat at this time.
What’s the plan if corona virus is detected in the jail? Give the prisoners a week or two off? Sure, that’ll work. Also, if CPS closes all schools for a week or two, or longer, and the jail is closed as well, why even bother being police?
What a mess.
More prevalent are head lice, poor grades and sporadic violent act ups.
Seems the CPS can’t fix that either.
One thing about this virus is that apparently it’s not as severe as the common flu strains, accept for the frail, already ill elderly.
One minute JB Pigster & Turpin Durban say (lie) President Trump didn’t do anything but call the virus a hoax, then only last week these two idiots finally instituted a response plan for IL hospitals - a month after DJTrump ordered a halt of flights from infected countries and already had vaccines studies accelerated. Then they mock DJTrump for saying wash your hands and keep fingers away from your face.
Pot stirring alarmist politicians.
Is the viral hosts predominantly of Asian origin? Seems like it but nobody’s saying.
Anyway, this virus outbreak had global origins and we, a welcoming, third world sanctuary, have an ignored pandemic far more deadly than a mystery virus...it’s called gangs, guns and Cook County Court policy.
Even the worldly Dr. Lari LightLoafer in Toronto earlier this week had called gun violence a health crisis. Guess she’s planning on a money grab from some other funding budget.
Avoid contact, keep lockups empty.
Got the bug - Hit the medical as needed.
I remember when they had sergeants picking up suspected Anthrax. We’re expendable.
Ithey will promise you a hand sanitizer which is on the back order
Problem is you can’t believe China and their numbers, nor about how/when it actually started.
Problem is this thing lasts on surfaces for weeks......in air ducts, door knobs, etc. Does not need to be
person to person contact.
Problem is we get just about 80% of most products from China......most medicines, clothes, IPhones,
auto parts, batteries, you name it, it comes from there.
So, are any of their products recently sent over contaminated?
With their quarantine over there, our supply chain is virtually destroyed for a good while.
Thank the Dems and their NAFTA.
Schools closing? Expect it.
3rd watch Desk crew in 019W has no worries. Has no contact with anyone
Calm down and take a deep breath through your face mask.
Substitute the word “flu” for corona virus and you might realize that this is media generated hysteria.
LOL, a lost child at the circus
Funny she was on a cruise during the school year.
I’m going on a 14 day quarantine inside my home. Do not come check on me because I won’t answer the door so as not to spread the virus. I repeat do not come looking for me !! Fuckin classic !
Compared to the flying lead infections in the Austin and other police districts it is minor.
Or the numbers killed by opioids every day.
Build a wall
Dr everyone was on the stage with groot thanking all of the BS doctors. Everyone was present but that idiot Jessie Sharkey. It looked like a scene from the three stooges.
Hand sanitizer next to the swipe machines. Are you fucking kidding me...
OT I don't know if anybody noticed that the car hopping asshole's lawyer is the same idiot who represents the Osundairo brothers.
A good overtime hustling detective can make Lt's pay. The loss of seniority, along with the added bullshit they now pile on Sgt's, make this a bad move for any sensible detective. In my 32 years on, I knew many a new sgt. who said it was the worst move they ever made. Especially if you didn't have the whack to make Lt. Could this open the door to reverse seniority promotions? Hilarious!
If congress contracted it, the draining of the swamp would start ahead of schedule.
We were told to wash our hands at roll call
Scc, off topic but reading article in Washington Post on how Cook County jail is becoming first polling station in the county where 1500+ inmates are voting in The jail. I know this is old news but it appears from the article they are telling inmates whom to vote for which might be illegal. Sheriff Dart has a liberal group come in an "educate" them on candidates. Dart proclaims his inmates are more informed than vast majority of general public in candidate selection. Could you imagine if they decided outcome of ASA race after being to told presumably to vote for Foxx.
Once again the Imp is showing her fat frumpy ass again with no clue of how to protect the public service and first responders. LA Bozo Beck has most likely fled Shitty City already to the warms of Cali for another weekend of sun and fun. Another great presser covered by the media, the Community has been assured all is well and there is nuttin to worry about. Freddy and Pillows Babs got us covered for another weekend of murder and mayhem.
The rank and file will continue to look hi and low for crime and or evil and bring in the "numbers" to make Bozo Beck and the HQ Staff look good. You betcha.
Treat us like second class citizens, disrespect us, no contract for 3 years, institute more kangaroo commissions/District Review Boards and have clouted dummies running the Districts and key units. Then tell us to "use all the tools in our tool box" to aggressively fight crime is laughable. Throw in more media bull shit and their peddling of the virus and soon Bozo Beck and the Imp are sitting in their own human waste. You get what you deserve.
SCC link to article non-paid version of Cook County Jail indoctrinating voters.
https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Voting-behind-bars-Cook-County-s-huge-jail-15111557.php#photo-19139345
For the primary, the sheriff worked with Chicago's public television station to air two-minute videos inside the jail on local candidates' backgrounds and positions. He also invited educators to teach civics classes. This election cycle alone, Chicago Votes made 11 visits and registered nearly 1,500 inmates to vote.
"By the time we get done with this, the folks voting here are going to be more educated about the election and the candidates than the average voter," Dart said.
It's quite a turnaround for the jail, which was mired in controversy when Dart took office in 2006. Two years later, a federal Justice Department report identified systematic violations of inmates' constitutional rights, including physical abuse by officers, inadequate medical care and dangerous conditions.
Dart has since led significant operational changes and added features such as wood-fired pizza ovens, a beekeeping program and even a hydroponics system connected to the jail's community garden.
NO MENTION OF THE 34 Inmate deaths sine 2015, or daily inmate/inmate beatings and or murders inside jail.
They're planning.....nada!
Wash your hands more and keep people out of your personal space. Relax! Don't think you need to start sipping cocktails of cold medicine and Emergenc C, or gargling some anticeptic rinses just yet. Common sense people, common sense.
I’m a teacher and I just wanna know why this gal was on a cruise ship in February.
Time to break out the MOPP gear! Oh wait, only the Feds have that.
I want to contract it and go to COPA coughing and spitting on everything i can.
We are done just looking at our bug eyed MURDER MAYOR groot and that fat buffoon J.B.
Imagine if the American public and mainstream media behaved like this during World War II?! We'd all be speaking German and Japanese now! Everyone, including the media was working together with positive attitudes then. Now we have people panicking and hoarding hand sanitizer and toilet paper! Pathetic!
The idiot who didn’t report she was on the cruise is the moron.lets expose her for her stupidity.
Bigger self cleaning oven. 18,000 dead from the flu this year so far. Calm down.
A plan what’s that?
Once again, the world has to clean up the mess China created. I wish the USA could somehow sue that country for damages.
This is the result when the Chinese people eat dead bats.
More people get killed by vermin thugs in a weekend in Democrat Chicago. Look at the stats, for February. Shot & Killed: 36 (+64%)
Shot & Wounded: 133 (+23%)
Total Shot: 169 (+30%)
Total Homicides: 38 (+46%)
They said they were going to give us PREP kits...
Maybe The Kissing Bandit knows something about PREP?
Cities WITHOUT direct flights overseas have so far been
spared. For now.
Oh, it's going to get bad. Really really b-a-a-a-a-a-d. Baaaaaa. Baaaaaaaaa. Baaaaaaaaaaaa.
Folks, I said this before, right here, before all this
shit even started. Charlie Beck is a DISEASE VECTOR.
(Look it up!). Jetting between California & Chicago, he is
an ideal host to transmit ANY virus.
Act accordingly.
The issue with this virus is that there is no vaccine for it and the method of treatment is quarantine. We really do not have the methods in place to control the virus. Without a vaccine, there is no real way to control it. As it began in China and continues to spread there, it will continue to have a huge economic influence in the United States. The amount of products which originate in China and which end up in the hands of U.S. consumers make this virus an economic pandemic.
Chicago is just an example of how this virus is really taking its toll, the economic impact at McCormick Place alone is staggering to our economy. It is not just the hotels and restaurants that are losing revenue, but the tradesmen, cleaners, security guards and food workers at McCormick Place that will miss out on all those hours of employment. Those folks will now have to figure out how their family budgets will still be able to make mortgage, tuition and car payments, as well as to buy food for the family.
This loss of income trickles down to the neighborhood working guy and may continue and expand if this virus is not brought under control very soon. One thing this world has always feared is disease, especially a disease that knows no borders and can strike all persons without regard to where they live or how they live.
If they cancel the NFL season, then we won't have to watch some overpaid ogre taking a knee, and it might be well worth it.
Just remember the old saying “better to be safe than sorry”. You choose.
Wash your hands often. If hand sanitizer is not available use plain old isopropyl alcohol. A tablespoon or so is enough. Soap and water is best. Have disposable gloves on at all times you are in population. When back alone, throw them away and wash your hands. Get some mild hand cream for all the washing you will be doing. Invest in some good quality safety glasses clear and tinted. Mask are a waste. Transmission primarily is eyes and nose. Keep your booger pickers out of your eyes an nose and you lower your chances of getting it 80%.
Take lots of vitamin C and Zinc. If you start feeling bad, stay home rest and lots if liquid. Stay away from medical facilities unless your temperature goes above 102 for any length of time or 103 anytime. Medical facilities are going to be full of sick people, some of them fatally sick. Don't be there unless you really have to be there.
This is not the plague. It is just a flu and the R0 is not that much higher than the seasonal flu unless you are older than 70 and/or have a compromised respiratory or immune system.
I enjoy all the commenters who are so much more informed than the world's leading virologists & epidemiologists. When I joined the department, it took me a while to get used to working with officers who loudly voice their opinions on topics they are not remotely qualified to address. It's mostly annoying, but entertaining at times.

They are not taking a cruise, studying in China, exercising in Italy or testing in Japan. Had more people in the movie with me yesterday and will be with more at the Bulls game Tuesday
When this first came about the borders should have shut down and all citizens coming in from other countries should have been quarantined for two weeks all other non citizens shipped right back to where they cane from. All in all the flu seems to be worse then the Coronavirus.
Corona virus scare is all democRATic
BULLSHIT!
The only thing I heard that actually makes sense during this whole hysteria was that even though it's not fatal for 99.5% of the population is that if as much as 15% of the workforce is off sick with it at the same time then it will have a seriously adverse effect on the world's economy.
Then again whipping the popoulace into a fret over it , like the slavish Dem MSM are doing, will have much worse results.
I’m reading all the comments here and it proves that nobody knows what the hell they’re talking about. Everybody thinks there an expert on this but they’re not.
"What is the Department planning for desk crews, lockup people and the regular cops on the street to prevent acquiring and spreading the disease?"
Doesn't matter, because people are saying like a miracle the virus goes away when it gets warm.

If you are that worried about it buy a bottle or go to Costco and get the sanitary wipes
Buckle up boys, 2020 was always going to be a wild ride but this is sure to spice things up. The actual health risk of the virus appears to be rather dubious, but the measures being taken by various governments raise a lot of questions. SARS was also a huge media hype storm, but they weren't locking down entire regions over it. There's something else going on here. Maybe the situation is worse than they're letting on, maybe it's totally unrelated like a collectivist conspiracy to catalyze a recession, but there is definitely more to the story.
OT just saw there was a six bagger mass shooting in City. How many Mass shooting this year. The boys must be going for a record. But as long as they shooter each other who cares. Will show up to do the paper and nothing else. Fetal is as fetal does. Sorry Aloti you can be proactive me not so much. In fact not at all on second thought.
Pampered as a kid....
Enabled as a teenager and young adult....
The sky is falling we are all gna die boo boo boo!! Wash your hands don’t put dirty things in your mouth and cowboy the fuck up!
More people die over an average Chicago weekend than they do from this disease. Nothing to worry about.
Really bad karma and irony hit this special ed. asst. She abused the sick day policy to go on a cruise in a month where CPS only had one day off (Mon Feb. 17th) and most likely will be fired and actually got sick with the Coronavirus.
#TheCPSWay
I feel like this whole thing is over-hyped. I was sick for the first time in ages with a cold/upper respiratory infection that kicked my ass for about a solid month. Many of my co-workers had similar sickness to varying degrees this past January & February. Not saying I had covid-19, but how many healthy people are probably going undiagnosed or did go undiagnosed in the past few months, before the media got hold of it? This shit could’ve very well been roaming around this winter before it had a name. It’s good for media outlets in a death spiral. Sensationalism sells! Not saying the public shouldn’t be informed, but it’s like any other virus as far as who is at risk. Small children, the elderly & those with compromised immune systems. I think it got out of hand in China for many reasons, a densely populated city & probably a whole other host of issues not spelled out by a secretive Communist government. I think we’ve gone a little nuts here. If you work in a group environment or in a job where you are exposed to more of the public (especially those that may not practice good hygiene), you’re always going to be at a higher risk of catching everything from Lice to a Virus. You should always try to keep your immune system healthy (exercise, eat well) and be diligent about what, who & how you come into Contact with people.
Do you really think CPD or the City of Chicago can really handle something real?????

"Graham didn’t give in and sell us out like Dean Angelo did when Angelo negotiated a contract instead of going to arbitration...."
I didn't vote on any contract Angelo negotiated; and neither did you. All of our last 4 contracts went to arbitration. wtf are you talking about?
3/06/2020 11:37:00 PM
This is FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angelos administration came into office and within 6 months “negotiated” a contract that was brought to the members for a vote. The membership then voted for said contract. This is the contract you are currently under which removed duty availability for 48 months for new hires, reduced tuition reimbursement, went from free healthcare at 55 to 2% of your pension. MEMBERSHIP VOTED FOR THIS CONTRACT. If cost everyone money!!! This contract DID NOT go to arbitration.
This is why if Cantanzara wins the board needs to advise him to rethink his idea of reopening negotiations. How well did it work last time!!!!!!!! WE GOT FUCKED. No arbitrator would have given those items to the City. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
I know people like to fuck around and post shit for laughs on this board but a shit post like this does a disservice to every single P.O. active and retired.
Teenage Diplomat
Ace hardware Cancels McCormick March convention.. Fake Chicago mayor stills says don't worry ..Convention cancellations cost to shit hole Chicago so far ..$$ 100 Million in lost taxes ..Yeah groot can always raise more property taxes
To the poster at 9:16am above, we can thank Joanna “the commie” Klonsky, poverty pimp of the progressive and black caucus and lgbtq loser Jen Sebella (block club) of the radical pro BLM Chicago votes for turning the jail into a democratic polling place. It’s totally sickening the way these cop hater gang banger lovers have destroyed this city. Klonsky is also tight with the CTU radical fringe. These two pieces of shit need to be outed for what they done to destroy this city.
Mark my words 4-5 weeks Chicago will be on total lockdown...

Great Post Sir..Your right on
"Substitute the word “flu” for corona virus"
The Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 infected about one third of the world's population and is estimated to have killed 20 - 50 million people worldwide, including 675,000 Americans. Like the Corona virus, at the time there was no vaccine and doctors didn't know how to treat it. Now we have both vaccines and antivirals to treat flu.
I'm hoping you are right that this is all media hype, but hospitals and medical professionals sure seem to be taking it seriously. I doubt they are all Democrats out to make Trump look bad. My 401 K is sure looking sick. If it is just like the flu, I hope its not just like Spanish flu.
So does this mean that the homeless will finally be kicked out of the lobbys?
That CPS janitors will finally clean *something*?
That CTA will finally clean the buses and trains?
LOL...
Read the article in the Wall Street Journal, it outlines the China mistakes and total time line of how and why it spread. Best information I have seen so far. So far our government seems to be very proactive in keeping it com spreading. It will spread but they should be able to control it. Our medical infrastructures are much better than China and are probably thinnest in the world. That said the mortality rate seems to be much higher then regular flu. Although they are calculating the mortality rate on known cases and many feel that there twice as many cases that have mot been reported. So the 3.4% mortality rate could be much much lower. Time will tell.

People "who loudly voice their opinions on topics they are not remotely qualified to address". Sounds like the new civilian board to me.
This virus is highly contagious and the over the counter remedies don’t work.As just like the flu,those with compromised immune systems or the elderly are at risk of serious illness or death.Unlike the flu though many will get infected but will have little or no symptoms at all.The main transmission is through sneezing and coughing etc.sending the virus airborne.Nursing homes have the potential for taking a big hit on this one.This info came via a molecular virologist.All the rest of the sources out there are mostly political.Like rahm said,don’t let a crisis go to wasre.(real or not)
The problem with looking at the fatality rates versus "the flu" is Flu death rates are after the fact suing " deaths" cases versus total cases which includes a huge of "recovered" cases.
Right now , to use deaths versus total cases for Corona , it does look like this stuff has a death rate of 3% versus Flu which is about .1 % . Corona is "right now" 30 times more deadly than Flu.
However there are many cases of Corona not diagnosed yet which would lower that greatly , as well most people with it still have it and are not recovered, which , if many die could up it greatly.
NOBODY can say with any certainty whether or not this is going to be just a Flu with a similar(although no lie it does appear worse ), or a world altering calamity .
Could end up .1% deaths or it could end up 30-40%+ of the human races or more. Scary stuff ATM. Because its end effects/results are unknown and unpredictable right now.

Invest in some good quality safety glasses clear and tinted. Mask are a waste. Transmission primarily is eyes and nose. Keep your booger pickers out of your eyes an nose and you lower your chances of getting it 80%.
Take lots of vitamin C and Zinc. If you start feeling bad, stay home rest and lots if liquid. Stay away from medical facilities unless your temperature goes above 102 for any length of time or 103 anytime. Medical facilities are going to be full of sick people, some of them fatally sick. Don't be there unless you really have to be there.
This is not the plague. It is just a flu and the R0 is not that much higher than the seasonal flu unless you are older than 70 and/or have a compromised respiratory or immune system.
Thanks doc but went to the show this afternoon and 5 o’clock mass.
Health officials prep for possible
coronavirus outbreak among LA's homeless population. Dammmmm! What about the 2nd district lobby. Everyone knows that the biggest homeless population in any police district station in the City of Chicago of all time and till this day. They are the reining Champions, like 30 years straight with no end in site.

Thousands die every year from the flu but nobody runs around with their hair on fire closing this and cancelling that. I'm starting to think there's an agenda with this mass hysteria being peddled by the media and left. Let me get my tin foil hat on and think about it.

Ding ding ding ding, we have a winner!
No need for a tin foil hat though, your's is no conspiracy theory.
From 2009 to 2010, twelve thousand people died from swine flu in the United States, half a million died world wide. Does anyone remember this type of hysteria back then? I dont. And do you want to know why this was so? Because Obama was president.
Now that President Trump is poised to take down dirty members of our intelligence communities, and dirty politicians, and it looks like he is a shoo-in to win re-election because of an improved economy, the media is hyping this story to help out their masters, and make President Trump look bad. Look at the markets, up and down, news reports breathlessly report of the drops in the market because of the corona virus.
A cell in Gitmo isn't enough for those behind this scheme. Military tribunals, and hangings would serve justice.
Remember what Hillary said to her staff before the 2016 election, " If that fucking bastard (Trump) wins, we all hang from nooses."
Stop swiping and touching that dirty machine. I just watched an officer pick her nose then swipe out and put that hand on the palm reader, fuck that !
“Buckle up boys, 2020 was always going to be a wild ride but this is sure to spice things up.

I think it’s worse than they are letting on.
Here’s the thing...it’s not the virus I’m concerned with... it’s the quarantine. Making sure we have enough for a couple weeks, not from fear of the virus but from fear of not bring able to go get what we need.

Agreed. This is the first time Ive heard of quarantines, and why bother for something deemed not that serious...it doesn’t really make sense. I had influenza last year, wasn’t told not to leave my house for 2 weeks.

We cannot alter comments in any manner - addition, subtraction, spelling, etc. So your request to "add" can't be done.
Second, you quote WHO like it's the bible and as anyone who delves into the numbers knows, it isn't. In fact, the numbers you quote are downgraded precipitously once the final tallies come in from all sources. Of course the numbers are higher initially. The Asian continent is an overcrowded cesspool of disease, "wet" markets, and pollution. The numbers drop drastically out in Second and First World countries and this disease appears to mainly kill the elderly with underlying health issues, particularly with poor coronary health histories.
If you'd like to further research and cite something other than a thoroughly discredited arm of the UN, we'd be happy to hear it.

Booger swiping happens all the time in my district. The city hired cleaning crew has not done any additional wiping down. It's a cesspool of germs. Can you imagine the front line on quarantine for weeks on end? This city will go up for grabs. What a shit show this virus can become!

They were promised hand sanitizer in twenty four.
Coronavirus is a virus. Hand sanitizer is an antimicrobial and that’s for bacteria. Hand sanitizer will not stop the Coronavirus. Hand sanitizers is an antimicrobial not and antiviral. You’ll have a better chance washing your hand with soap and water.
What’s worse ? Corona virus or working lockup on the west side? Same-same
Here’s my prediction. The city (mayor LL) is going to use the corona virus and resulting loss in revenue as an excuse to screw use on our contract. Expect a very low raise offer, if any.
The official plan in development from the merit brain trust at HQ is, all the supervisors are to order their subordinates to put on ruby slippers, click their heels together 3 times and say there's no Corona virus, there's no Corona virus, there's no Corona virus. DC Cato will be made the chief of the ruby slipper bureau.

To make President Trump look bad, that is why. This is the flu. Twenty million people died from the Spanish flu in 1918. How many died in the U.S. so far from Wuhan/Corona, seven?
Media and deepstate are using this to tank the markets and hurt President Trump in November.

Washing is much better than hand sanitizer but hand sanitizer does kill viruses.
The plan has been being executed for over 3 years. Blame Trump! Hope for disasters or create some real of fake and Blame Trump. Are they closing the medical section......or do we still have to go down there and sit in a room filled and get too catch it from someone who is infected.

Please don't get your news from chain emails and Twitter. You're wrong. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol, which can kill bacteria and viruses, including enveloped viruses, which COVID-19 is. Viruses are microbes. The best hand sanitizers for killing viruses like COVID-19 are antimicrobial hand sanitizers. In other words, you're completely wrong, spreading misinformation, and helping no one. The only actual truth you posted is that you're better off washing your hands with soap and water. Everyone should already know that though. Washing your hands removes dirt and germs from your hands, while hand sanitizers just kill most of the bad stuff and they remain on your hands with the dirt and whatever other shit.
Just wait until the "I never go on the medical Hero's" start coming in sneezing and couching with 101% Temps. Then the entire District will go down.
The "preperations" needed for this are not about a flu virus. Not concerning CPD relavency.
The "preparations" are more akin to Preperation H.
If/when the CPS suspends classes, the CPD relavent concerns will be all the usual ones, whenever the mass of miscreant yutes are not contained within the propaganda palaces during the daytime hours.
The increased mass of miscreant, mischevious, malicious, mooching mini mutt spawns will be in free to roam status, and will reliably fuck everyone's pooch within pooch fucking range.
Red Line.
Blue Line.
The mongrels dash into civilized regions, do their thangs, and scurry back to their dens of miscreancy.
This is what the roid cream is for.
Fuck pump and squirt slippery sanitizer juice.
Fuck the flu.
It's the violent inherent yutes running wild and free that there is no will to impede.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/coronavirus-patient-says-its-been-easier-than-having-a-cold
Just washing your hands with plain water does almost as well as using hand sanitizers and/or soap and water.
One thing you really need to practice , is after you wash you hands in a public bathroom , is to use a paper towel(hopefully they will have them and not just the electric dryers) or something to grab the handle to open the door to exit.
I see this constantly almost no-one uses anything to protect their hands to grab that handle or to press an exit push plate. Which has all germs and poop and pee of anyone and everyone who never wash their hands and grabbed that handle since the last time it was cleaned . And many of those handles have never been cleaned in YEARS, if ever!
Why clean your hands and then immediately grab/touch something that dirty? Defeats the purpose and also make you vulnerable to any germs left by all the people who don't wash their hands on those handles.
Think about this and practice doing so . It took me years to finally do this every time, I started back when the noro-virus/hata-virus scares many years ago, and I have not had near as many episodes of diarrhea or stomach aches since. Have never caught the flu or anything major since then either.
The medical protocols are found in "cross-contamination training/procedures" ask a nurse how much of a PITA that was to pass in school or look into it online.
And don't grab those handles/doors when leaving a restroom!
