What Actually Happens If You Get Coronavirus?

Anom212325 says...

To add to that, it's a new virus. We know flue, we have vaccines for it. We don't for Corona. Also, check the numbers, 11,374 Confirmed Cases, 259 Total deaths and only 252 Totaly Recovered. (Last Update: Jan 31, 2020 7 pm ET) And that is if you believe the numbers coming out of China. Remember this is the same country that only reports 200 deaths due to influenza a year with a population of 1.4 billion.

I'm wound up 1. Because it's seemingly more infectious now than last year's strain. 2. Because they say it's infectious before symptoms show, making it nearly impossible to quarantine the sick before they spread it. And 3. Because I'm taking an international flight on Sunday.

NASA captures a comet hitting the Sun

berticus says...

"SOHO watched as a fairly bright comet dove towards the Sun in a white streak and was not seen again after its close encounter (May 10-11, 2011). The comet, probably part of the Kreutz family of comets, was discovered by amateur astronomer Sergey Shurpakov. In this coronagraph the Sun (represented by a white circle) is blocked by the red occulting disk so that the faint structures in the Sun's corona can be discerned. Interestingly, a coronal mass ejection blasted out to the right just as the comet is approaching the Sun.

Scientists, however, have yet to find a convincing physical connection between sun-grazing comets and coronal mass ejections. In fact, analysis of this CME using images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that the CME erupted before the comet came close enough to the solar surface to interact with strong magnetic fields."

Bush Wipes Hand on Clinton's Shirt After Greeting Haitians

Kevlar says...

>> ^blankfist:

^I don't care if he tapped Clinton on the shoulder or not. In my mind it's funnier if he wiped his hands on him, so that's what I'll remember. Truth has no place when comedy is afoot!!!


It's even funnier in the 'unedited' BBC video where you see him do the little peek-a-boo finger wave at everyone, like his name is Thelma and he's trying delicately to acknowledge his girlfriends while blowing on his freshly-painted fingernails wrapped around a Corona at the Albuquerque 37th Annual Chili Cook-Off.

Goddamnit, Presidents should always wave like the stoic Templar in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

the story of your decade in 3 paragraphs or less (History Talk Post)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I spent Y2K in a nuclear hardened bunker.

2000 was a big year for me. Had a baby boy, began my life in Australia in earnest - lost a lot of money (stock options) in the dotcom crash.

The years until 2005 were a bit of a blur, I remember the peaks and troughs, but that's it. Bought a house, changed jobs a couple of times, climbed the corporate ladder.

At the end of 2005 something clicked- I wanted out. We sold our house and most of the stuff we own. I quit my job and we bought round the world ticket for the family. We spent the next 5 months backpacking - went like this: L.A, Las Cruces, NM, Alaska, Vancouver (Lasik), Ireland, Girona, Spain, Osaka, Japan Bangkok, Thailand and then back to Australia- pretty much broke.

In 2006 I rented a little office with a friend who was working on a motorized skateboard thing. I didn't know what I was going to do, but we were paying rent, and we had a bar fridge stocked with Coronas. I started plonking away on my laptop - and VideoSift was launched on February 16th 2006.

Aside from the birth of my son- the highlight of my decade was VideoSift - still feels great to be part of something like this. I've also changed jobs a couple times, taken a few overseas trips, moved house way too many times and watched the kids grow.

Minutemen-Corona (Jackass Theme) acoustic

"Intelligent punk band" rarely uttered phrase.


I think you're confusing the Guttermouths with Kennedys. There's a huge difference.

The roots of punk rock lie in the realm of college youth culture, avant-garde, politics, rebellion and nonconformity. They were the noble savages in the savage world of Rock n' Roll. Bad Brains, Crass, The Minutemen, Black Flag, Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Propagandi -- the list of intelligent punk rock goes on and on.

Total solar eclipse in Iwo Jima, Japan. 22 July 2009

Ornthoron says...

Very cool. If you pause the video at for instance 3:20 or 5:00, you can discern the Sun's magnetic field lines as vague filaments in the corona. This is because the charged plasma particles in the corona are unable to travel transverse to the field lines.

This is also the best live footage I've ever seen of a solar prominence.
