It's simply the manner in which the Chinese process and sell. They simply need to update their food handling practices, or else the next virus might kill half the world's population or worse. and this article was written 14 YEARS ago. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16940861

Factory farming is awful... but also a large portion of the United states does not do it. For isntance, there are 600 cattle farms in my county, and not one of them is a factory farm. they are all cattle grazing on open land. Much of it is the way the animals are handled, and how they are eaten. After all, when was the last time a new virus originated in North america?

Countries need to stop doing things like this, and maybe these viruses would not emerge.

Oh.. peeshaw. Obama won by 10 million votes, America tolerated him well. You just live in a meth head trailer trash state, so your perception is skewed. If Social media did not exist, most people would never be the wiser about the feelings low class white Americans had about Obama.

So, is this really a thing? Is this why the percentage of black deaths from the virus are proportionally higher?

What are you talking about "Can't get them" The link I posted a few days ago sold out, but there is plenty more. If you just go to Ebay and type in "nitrile gloves" there are over 14,000 results. Amazon has a ton available as well. And that's exactly what I do. Throw them away every time I have to touch something. Normally I go through about 600 gloves every 4 months. I've been through 500 in the last month. I will wear 1 pair to touch all the "dirty" stuff at one time, then throw them away before I get into my car or touch anything else I own.

I know.... I guess that vendor has sold out. There are still others on ebay, and quite a few. Sorry... but if you aren't being provided adequate protection, and they refuse to let you bring your own, I'd walk. Simple as that.

Are you not allowed to bring your own from home?

I think you're right. And I was wondering about Rand Paul just this morning. Why are you having to ration gloves? This is where I buy them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/McKesson-Confiderm-3-8-Nitrile-Exam-Gloves-Large-Powder-free-CS-1000/274254263506?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Like Joan Rivers says, you just keep moving forward. Go to work, come home, get on with life.

Oklahoma has got to be perhaps the most ridiculous state in the union at this point, they are NOT TESTING, they have the lowest testing rate in the entire country.....even Wyoming has tested more people. There has got to be literally tens of thousands of Typhoid Marys walking around down there. Only 1,794 people tested in the WHOLE STATE. And 565 positives (that is a 31.49% positive rate of those tested). Kansas to the north is better, with 424 positives, but they have at least tested 5,424 people, giving them a positive rate of 8.7%.

The vast majority do show symptoms well within that time frame. I had found a medical site that gave a more detailed account of what they know so far, they said that 97% of people who are exposed will show symptoms by day 11. There are a few outliers that will show on day 12 and 13, that's why they say 14 days. This story was from a year ago, and gives much credence to that theory.

Yes, his video was ridiculous. What about Ecoli? It used to be called "Summer complaint" in the early 1900's, and my great grandmother had 2 children die of it at the age of 3.

It just gets better and better:

I'm wondering if he might buy himself a comb?

And that is exactly how I do it. I've gone through 250 gloves since February 29.

I understand. That's why I stopped going to the store. I am working, because I work outdoors without needing any face to face interaction.... but I haven't set foot inside a store or public building in 8 days now, and intend to keep that up for the next 3 weeks at least. I do curbside pickup with groceries, and use gloves to dump the contents of my purchases into another container when I get home. Just treat the stuff exactly as if it were a hot pan coming right out of the oven. No bare hand contact.

I'm not sure that has been ironed out yet. I have heard that if you filed online, and got a refund through direct deposit in 2018, then that will be the way it happens again, and everyone else gets a check in the mail. I think people who flout the system and don't file their taxes may get left out. But that will remain to be seen. Ironically, I'm going to be using mine to pay my social security taxes, since I'm still working.

THANK GOD. That's what it should have been in the first place. This BS about lower income people getting 600 was just ridiculous

Cuomo talking today about buying up all the supplies he could find everywhere makes me glad I ran out of my nitrile gloves in mid February, and bought a case of 1,000 back then. Talk about a close call.

How so? At this point, every single person with upper respiratory symptoms should be tested.

This is so sad. Mark my words... Fran Lebowitz will not make it through this epidemic

If Trump thinks he can use federal funding and supplies as a blackmail chip, LET HIM TRY.

Very true. An hantavirus is so rare as well.

I think New York is sucking up all the nations available test kits at this point
