I fear ignorance of facts. Hence two weeks of research before finding empirical scientific evidence to date.

We elder higher risk demographic need this information. Shame Trump Et Al

is appalling. A few that have died in WA were men in their 40's and 50's. A lady on Twitter was like, you know the elderly and those with pre existing conditions can hear you. I agree 100 percent.

cardiac info. That's good for me since I don't have heart problems!

9. Thank you for posting this very informative PDF.

We need to remind ourselves that little thorough scientific research has been done on this virus because it's quite new to science. Therefore, much of what info we're seeing is speculation or "best guesses", particularly regarding the efficacy and lifetime on surfaces, what cleaning products can kill it and even data on how it spreads.

Hoping to see many more thorough publications soon, with translation into usable info for public education.

also explain how first 99 people that got infected 47 of them are sales reps of the wuhan seafood market with long term exposure, so the conspiracy of "virus walked out of the lab" is false .

Iam a sales rep for a company that sales food to restaurants...I get to have contact with more than 100 people per day ...on a slow day
