    Well, this would certainly change some things ... if true

    WHO is investigating reports of recovered COVID patients testing positive again

    Not just reoccurrence requiring hospitalization but whether they’re unwittingly contagious.

    If the tests are only 70%-75% accurate isn’t it more likely they simply don’t have accurate results for a small minority of patients?

    Happy to see the above caveat in the article. Hizzah!

    I've seen too many times readers extrapolating a conclusion from one statistical population and apply the conclusion to others.

    This must be stopped. The fish are notoriously hideous, and the swans are dangerously aggressive.





    Just kidding.

    Wet markets in Wuhan have re-opened, but are having trouble bringing in customers for some reason...

    Wet markets in China's Wuhan struggle to survive coronavirus blow

    Do the vendors have any safety concerns?
    They are more worried about the virus transmitting from people than from animals to people. They think of COVID-19 as a freak accident that won't happen again (even though it keeps happening over and over again over the years). IOW, they don't get it.

    It would be pretty awesome if fear stamped these things out. I'm not hopeful though. I think it's going to take major action from most of the civilized world.

    Boris' first video since being released from the hospital. A change of tone about not shaking hands (how could he not?)

    Anyway, despite my many criticisms of him, I'll just say this, night and day, comparatively speaking.

    Nope. He would represent a virus reservoir if someone with the virus shakes his hand. Jeopardizes subsequent hand shakers.
