Is there any information on how long (or whether) a person can continue to shed the virus after they are symptom free and considered "cured"?
I remember reading that one couple is considered recovered. But they are still in home isolation 2 weeks later , still carrying the virus.Is there any information on how long (or whether) a person can continue to shed the virus after they are symptom free and considered "cured"?
everyone can "learn to code"Most of the machinery was sold to China. Most of the machines that make the machines were sold to China.
Most of the machinists are retired or dead. Brave New World. Service economy. "Experts" know best, dontcha know?

I like to call this immunity by math or statistics. It is the same basis used when they talk about herd immunity.A scientist at the forefront of researching the coronavirus says it could "potentially" spread to 60% of the population.

Have the denizens of this forum noticed an attitudinal change come over the populace lately? I’ve noticed an definitive uptick in angsts, lack of common courtesy, impatience, rudeness, complete self serving attitudes of the local GDP.
I think o2 concentrators need regular calibration. Not sure the details but a service tech would check it every month. Took 2 minutes from start to finish.
Gee, the secondary and third level impacts are incredible. I ordered two holsters from Uncle Mike's who used to make them in Oregon two decades or so ago. I was unaware of this but Uncle Mike has moved all holster production to Vietnam and that is where my holsters were made and then shipped here to CONUS. Now as to whether they made it in Vietnam, and then shipped it to me here at the gun shop, based on the order, or whether they made it six months ago, shipped it here to keep it in stock. Either way, the ability to make and then ship it here, might be impeded by the Chinese Plague.
boy, the coffee really kicked in just as I got to this post...
One of the Americans on the ship is ridiculous. He is not taking the flight by the US because they won’t let him bring all his stuff. Says he has a commercial flight already booked for when his quarantine is over. I am guessing the US will place him in a 14 day quarantine anyways once he reaches the US.

Jack Eichel snapped his stick over the crossbar in frustration after an empty-net goal sealed a Buffalo Sabres loss, splintering it across the ice. He and other NHL players might want to think twice about sacrificing their sticks in a situation like that for now.
The coronavirus outbreak that began in China is affecting the production of hockey sticks used by the world’s top players, raising concerns about a potential shortage. Two major manufacturers, Bauer and CCM, have factories in China that have closed.
Players are beginning to make preparations in case stick supplies dry up.
“We’ll see how long it lasts,” Eichel said. “Hopefully not too long. Obviously, I go through sticks pretty quickly.”
Eichel estimates he goes through 100 sticks a season, and he’s not alone. Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin changes sticks each game and was worried enough about running out that he stopped at his mom’s house outside Toronto before a game against the Maple Leafs to pick up two more, just in case.
“That’s all that was left in the garage,” Seguin said. “I’ll just manage.”
Bauer and CCM officials say they are monitoring the situation so clients like Eichel, Seguin and Toronto’s Auston Matthews don’t have to dig up old sticks in the garage. Warrior, the other major supplier of custom sticks for top hockey players, has not been affected because its production is based in Tijuana, Mexico.
Beer leagues can go on without worry. Bauer and CCM each independently said there has been no impact on the production of sticks for amateur players.
CCM said in a statement government approvals could slow the reopening of factories and expects to have a better picture of capacity and deliveries in coming weeks. Bauer CEO Ed Kinnaly said the situation remains fluid and hopes the company can re-start operations in China soon.
“We have backup stock in the U.S. and Canada to meet these needs, and we are working closely with equipment managers to understand their inventory levels and ensure players have what they need throughout this situation,” Kinnaly said.
NHL equipment managers, players and their representatives are trying to navigate the situation as best as possible. Detroit Red Wings equipment manager Paul Boyer said he has enough inventory for the next couple of weeks but isn’t sure what might happen after that given a two-week lag time for sticks to be delivered.
“I do have good sales guys and we came up with a plan to stock up ahead of Chinese New Year, but then the virus hit and there has been an even longer gap without producing sticks,” Boyer said. “Am I concerned? Yes, but I’m not panicking.”

China’s chip makers more resilient amid coronavirus supply chain shocks
(fair use applies)
Coronavirus: China’s chip makers proving resilient to supply chain shocks thanks to automation and clean room environments
Jane Zhang
Published: 6:30am, 15 Feb, 2020 | Updated: 7:02am, 15 Feb, 2020
Wuhan is an important player in the country’s semiconductor industry, with more than 100 chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing companies in operation
The suspension of US-China flights by major US airlines could seriously impact deliveries of finished chip products to US customers
Every morning hundreds of professionals in Wuhan, epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, don protective masks and hazmat-style suits before they enter their workplace.
They are not hospital workers treating patients infected with the virus that has killed more than 1,300 people in China so far. Rather, they work for Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (XMC) and Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC), which operate hospital-style clean rooms designed to prevent microscopic particles from contaminating silicon wafers.
The fallout from the deadly coronavirus outbreak for the tech industry and the global supply chain has been significant, with Canalys forecasting that China’s smartphone shipments would drop 40 to 50 per cent in the first quarter of 2020.
Yet the semiconductor manufacturing sector has been more resilient to the impact thanks to its higher level of automation and clean room environment on the factory floor.
Jim Handy, semiconductor analyst from Objective Analysis in California, said the “incredibly clean and uncrowded” workplace in chip fabs would probably limit the spread of any disease. Workers often live in dormitories on the company’s campus, so they do not need to take public transport to work, he added.
That view was echoed by Linda Sui, director of Wireless Smartphone Strategies at Strategy Analytics, who said labour-intensive companies like Foxconn have seen a much greater impact because workers returning from their Spring Festival break have had to undergo 14 day quarantines before resuming work.
Foxconn, which makes most of the world’s iPhones, employs more than 1 million people in a dozen factories on the Chinese mainland, including a major facility in Zhengzhou, about 480km (300 miles) from the centre of the outbreak.
China enforced mandatory factory shutdowns in at least 24 of its 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions from January 31 to February 9 in an effort to contain the outbreak, but that order does not appear to have been directed at semiconductor factories which typically operate 24/7.
“There will not be a big impact on chip manufacturers,” Siu said. “The demand [for chips] will fluctuate for sure but in terms of production capacity, these factories work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their machines keep running even during holidays.”
An XMC spokeswoman told the Post last week that its factory lines have not been interrupted due to the coronavirus and that production continued safely during the Spring Festival holidays.
China is a key part of the global electronics industry’s value chain, with semiconductors critical to the function of everyday consumer electronics, communications and computing products, as well as increasingly sophisticated applications such as 5G and artificial intelligence.
Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province and epicentre of the outbreak, is known as the “Chicago of the East” for its industrial and transport industries.
Apart from being a major supply chain hub in central China, the city is an important player in the country’s semiconductor industry, with more than 100 chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing companies in operation as of August, according to the Hubei government.
XMC and YMTC – both under the state backed Tsinghua Unigroup – specialise in designing and manufacturing memory chips. In statements issued earlier this month they indicated the coronavirus outbreak has had a minimal impact on operations so far.
YMTC did not respond to a request for updated information on Wednesday.
In a document issued to customers earlier this month, XMC said it has appropriately reduced its production capacity, adding that before the Spring Festival holiday it had stocked up on raw materials which will help it continue customer deliveries.
Founded in 2006 in Wuhan, the company focuses on NOR Flash memory and has been providing professional 300mm (12-inch) wafer foundry services since 2008.
However, chip makers are not completely immune from the disruptions. The shortage of manpower and raw materials, the evacuation of foreign engineers from Wuhan and transport restrictions are all challenges facing semiconductor companies in the city, according to Handy.
The suspension of US-China flights by major US airlines could seriously impact deliveries of finished chip products to US customers.
“I don’t anticipate any winners in this situation,” Handy said. “There are companies who compete against Wuhan’s chip makers, but they are still shipping to assembly houses in China, and those assembly houses may buy other chips from Wuhan-based firms which might limit their overall production and cause them to use fewer of the competitors’ chips as well.”
A YMTC spokesman said last week that the lockdown in Wuhan has created some challenges in the supply chain and labour supply, but that it is actively coordinating with raw material suppliers and logistics providers to ensure normal operation of the production line.
Shenzhen China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co said on its official WeChat account at the end of January that there were no cases in its Wuhan factory and that the company puts the health and safety of its employees first.
BOE Technology Group, which began mass production of leading-edge 10.5 generation LCD panels at a clean room facility in Wuhan in December, said that it will reduce its monthly output due to constraints in the materials supply chain.
“It is expected that production capacity growth will slow down, which may further exacerbate the ongoing global supply shortage of ultra-large-sized display screens in 2020,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to a statement issued by Hubei authorities on Thursday, enterprises in the province cannot resume work earlier than midnight on February 20, although those exempted from the rules include companies involved in epidemic prevention and control, public utilities, those providing daily necessities, such as supermarkets, and “other related enterprises” important for the national economy and people's livelihoods.

Oh Boy!!boy, the coffee really kicked in just as I got to this post...
If this thing is really hygiene related and the explosion in China is due to that factor, (besides being highly contagious), then India is going to be far far worse than China.... just a few months behind....I just watched a video about New Delhi being the most polluted place in the world. It is like the equivalent of smoking 10 cigarettes a day! I would share but am on an iPad! That and the overcrowding poor city they are, they will be in big ,big trouble!
