Got an e-mail from $EMPLOYER saying that the agency's "high cleaning standards" should be enough to prevent hard surface contamination from spreading #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV, and therefore there is no need for employees to bring chlorine bleach or similar disinfectants to work. Judging by the overcrowding and disorder that characterizes field offices and the work quality of con…

I should add that even though $EMPLOYER is a non-medical agency, there’s some expectation that the agency will be called to assist with response to the #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV outbreak.

@mangeurdenuage I think one of the early #conspiracy_theories about #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV is that the Wuhan virus research center accidentally released it, and that was why they were able to gene-print it so quickly. At this point, I think the priority should be finding ways to stop it's spread of destruction (e.g., vaccines). It was clearly already outside the boundaries of t…

@strypey From what I've seen, the distinguishing feature of the #COVID-19 outbreak versus other #coronavirus outbreaks ( #SARS, #MERS ) is its transmissibility by people that are asymptomatic & pre-symptomatic. I'd also guess that the fatality rate is lower than what we think, because mild infections ==> no medical involvement.
