If the US would just shut down for a month but alas people did not or could not prep so now we all get sick! GRRRRRR!
It’s 68 degrees F here in the SF Bay Area right now. How likely is it that the virus dies in warmer whether? I could have sworn there was a study/article showing 48 degrees was the point at which it became less “stable”. Anyone remember that?
I'm still angry about the post this morning regarding the couple that flew from New York to Palm Beach and notified the airline that the male had coronavirus upon landing. They were held up on the tarmac for one hour and 45 minutes due to him. To arrogantly place everyone on the flight at risk is beyond words. And his wife knew!
At the care home in Kirkland, they believe this is how Cov 19 was spread so fast. Emergency workers were giving breathing treatments to the patients in the homeCan I just say these researchers are heroes. God bless them.
No way would I be standing in any line anywhere, so much for social distancing!My husband said that a friend posted on FB a line outside BJ's this morning waiting for them to open.

Yes I remember...but but but..Florida? Australia? Central America & Mexico?It’s 68 degrees F here in the SF Bay Area right now. How likely is it that the virus dies in warmer whether?

Considering everything that’s being cancelled, I think Canada is pretty much closed for the next three weeks.

#BREAKING: All publicly funded schools in Ontario will be closed for two weeks following March Break, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provincial government says.
The economy is going to suffer especially businesses that rely on travelers for Spring Break!
Real quick, I wanted to share this with y'all. We just received the following email from our help desk at the military institution I work at:
"A malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins University is circulating on the internet waiting for unwitting internet users to visit the website. Visiting the website infects the user with the AZORult trojan, an information stealing program which can exfiltrate a variety of sensitive data."
A malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins University is circulating on the internet waiting for unwitting internet users to visit the website. Visiting the website infects the user with the AZORult trojan, an information stealing program which can exfiltrate a variety of sensitive data. It is likely being spread via infected email attachments, malicious online advertisements, and social engineering. Furthermore, anyone searching the internet for a Coronavirus map could unwittingly navigate to this malicious website.
Threat Details: A sample of the malware being deployed by “corona-virus-map[dot]com” was submitted and analyzed by and received an extremely malicious threat score of 100/100 with Anti-virus (AV) detection at 76%. This sample was labelled by Hybrid-Analysis as a Trojan.
Strangers help Canadians find loved ones abroadWhen Jenny Oad of Toronto heard that tsunamis had battered Sri Lanka, her first thought was for the safety of her neighbours, Joachim and Mary Xavier, and their daughter Chris, all vacationing there in the now-devastated island nation. After trying and failing to get information over the phone from the federal government, she turned to the Internet, posting an electronic message on CNN's website.
The responses she got showed her the best and the worst of human nature. The worst came first. Someone sent a nasty computer virus in an e-mail entitled, "Your next vacation is going to be your own personal tsunami in India." That virus wiped out her computer's software and data, just as she was hoping to get help over the Web in her attempt to contact the Xaviers. "It was just pure mean," Ms. Oad said.
But she said her faith in humanity was restored after her computer was repaired, and she saw other responses to her CNN message, leaving her to marvel at the willingness of Sri Lankans to help in her search for her neighbours. Her electronic plea for help generated 20 answers, including one from a Sri Lankan news agency telling her people there had read her message, and from a cellphone company that offered to track the Xaviers using the trail left by their mobile phone.
