Virus supplies worldwide comparison

[ZEROPILOT]

There is a food drive set up at the SUNRISE TENNIS CLUB a few blocks away.
The line of vehicles and the amount of people waiting for food handouts is staggering.
I estimate the line to be a half of a mile long.
My local pet store is once again allowing people to enter the store.
Masks are required.
Parks have re opened. That's nice. I miss taking my morning nature walks.

I'm so glad in January I started my dubia colony. It's now got several generations going and thriving! While Utah isn't as locked down as other states, we are affected by not being able to get stock from locked down states, including crickets and other bugs from the farms back east. My monitor is eating good.

TP is hilarious. Stores get it at 6am and it's gone for the day by 6:30, even with limits. I see parents handing each of their 7 or 9 kids a $5 bill and a pack of TP and shoo them to the registers. Getting ridiculous.

Florida has outlawed Dubia roaches.
I've been getting a variety of feeders from Josh's Frogs.
I see TP about every other time I get out.

yeah, I've heard about that. I'm just commenting in general and my situation, not recommending a course of action. Glad you can find feeders. When I was a kid, I had dozens of reptiles and this quarantine would have had me chasing butterflies with nets in grazing fields right now to feed all the mouths.

I love that picture. It looks like such a wonderful place to walk everyday.

The news reported that there are now over 30 strains of this same Corona virus that are mutations.
So, some people that have shown no symptoms may have been exposed to a less deadly strain.(just a theory)
And recovering from the virus won't neccessarily guarantee that you won't get it again. (A different strain) As has been reported.
It's unfortunate. But at least it makes sense.
I had assumed that if you had it and beat it, you would be safe from it again.

I've read that sars cov-2 (covid 19) mutates very slowly for a virus , the ones going around the world are very close to the original from Wuhan ……. the original sars cov offered a 2-3 yr immunity , I've read sars cov-2 is genetically very similar to sars cov …….. I believe even if you don't have an immunity , if your body is familiar with a virus your immune response will be better ……… I think viruses mutating is normal , I believe them becoming more dangerous is not the norm ?


don't know if this stuff interest anyone , but I believe after reading this stuff , a lot of folks will have a new fear of bats , I might ……… it's going to make a world full of people who are germaphobes , afraid of bats and other people ….. i'd imagine psychiatrist will have a booming business when this is through …….

Bat Coronaviruses in China

During the past two decades, three zoonotic coronaviruses have been identified as the cause of large-scale disease outbreaks–Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Swine Acute Diarrhea Syndrome (SADS). SARS and MERS emerged in 2003 and 2012...

well now it just looks like a bio-weapon as if they modified the virus, it’s to perfect.

whos Joe? is it a Bot?

He's my younger brother. Those are text messages he sent me. He's developmentally disabled and profoundly deaf from the measles virus 61 years ago. But when he finally understands he tells me in one of the only ways he can. Sometimes it's just so funny I have to share it.☺

And then what about all those crazy viruses that mutate every year and they can't seem to come up with a flue shot that guarantees you won't get the flue this year. Just wondering.

When I was a dumb kid, my buddy and I used to toss pebbles in the air, then wack at bats swooping down for the pebbles with tennis rackets.
It was rare that we hit one. But I remember how odd they looked at night under a flashlight.
It would be fitting that a bat ended up whacking me.

He was really sad and at one point sobbing. He loves anything Walt Disney. I keep reassuring him as much as I can. He's a 61 years old child that loves cartoons. He's a very simple minded person and a lot of fun.

If anyone can go through this monkey vine called the TFO and get my personal info...I wish they would give me lessons.

lmao. but you should really watch out.

The truth remains that you can never be too safe.

the flu has become less dangerous over time ………. I believe in 1918 H1N1 killed as many as 100,000,000 people worldwide over 3 yrs …… H1N1 in 2009 killed around 200,000 people worldwide……..

i never realized how many zoonotic diseases bats carry ...... i wouldn't imagine any animal could harbor that many diseases that people could catch .......

1918 Flu Deaths

The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. /CDC/
