What is a pangolin and why is it blamed for spreading coronavirus?

The pangolin is known around the world for not only being Prince William's favourite animal but also as one of the most critically endangered species on the planet.

In times like these, often we see this

here is the funny part about getting help from a stranger. She shows up w stuff from her house as she bought for her kids who are under quarantine w the father elsewhere n cant travel, but she seemed in good spirits. but get this cuz the store didnt have the staff to restock they told her to donate the items i ordered


BTW i had a 20 credit w a delivery service for groceries but when the woman tried to check out it wouldnt work So she got my stuff free n donated excess from her home

Chloroquine phosphate for fish now showing up on ebay at exhorbitant prices. I reported 1, and another popped up - for $1200! Hoping ebay keeps an eye on this.

How long the COVID-19 coronavirus lasts on everyday surfaces

i found the following info (doctors moderated FB PT group)
plastic 6 to 8h
inox 5 to 6 hours
copper and cardboard less than that (they only say a couple of hours)
fabric: unknown, but probably same as cardboard

virus doesn't resist to detergent so, keeping everything clean with water and soap should by enough. Bleach helps, but not essential.

take shoes off when entering home. keep shoes by the entrance.
Wash your hands several times a day. Try not to touch your face, eyes and mouth particularly

hope this helps

Jordan Kingdom is locked down completely from tomorrow 7am local time until a further notice 😔
Tonight is last chance to buy all you need.
I hope God to speed up the recovery of those infected with the coronavirus 🤲🤲🤲

I had to go for another chest x-ray today. They wouldn't let my husband into the hospital with me. (ooh - he was angry - but they have security guards right at the front door so he had to behave ) The hospital felt deserted. No waiting - walked right in to radiology and right back out. Felt like walking through a ghost town.

I send my blessings to all infected with the virus.
Crazy world right now, economy will be affected for a long time.

Lots of planes on the ground worldwide but not in AC

i just went out to put plastic/metal garbage for recycling. City center. Used to be rush hour. Crossed the avenue with a red sign, no cars on sight. my city smells differently, almost like on the countryside. very few people on the streets. Some Uber Eat delivery guys hanging around McDonald's. A girl running. A homeless guy begging. It's a different city. These are different times.

When it hits close to home for the politicians themselves, then some may rethink their plan of attack.
I read today that a staff member of the Vice President's/ Pence office is now positive.

Hi,
Here in Poland all went online, most of people work from home.
Everything is closed since past Saturday (shopping malls, restaurants, pubs),
Only groceries, chemical stores and petrol station are opened. You can buy almost everything, with exception of toilet paper and hand sanitizer,
The biggest worry is that in light of pandemy, public health service don't serve any other cases, doctors are closed, dentists, etc.

Here in Russia your bloody tatianas and svetlanas don't give a shit. Half of them think its a conspiracy theory, other half smoke and don't care about their health anyway.
It's a nightmare. Only a small percentage of the country is taking this seriously because official statitics put it at 330 infections, but there have hardly been any tests of of course its low.

My company wont close. Sigh.

South Africa seems to be on the ball. A state of disaster was declared on March 15. Our first case was reported March 5 and of yesterday (March 22) we had 202 cases, no deaths and 2 recoveries.

I am working from home until further notice, my wife (teacher) is home with our 2 kids and a nephew until at least after Easter weekend.

Several measures in place to track contacts of positive cases and curb movement of people - and so the spread of the virus.
