my answer is most likely already posted, but i have been looking thru these discussions trying to access as much info as possible, and have yet to find it.  i am not as ready as i should be if this thing hits, but what has me more concerned is when to take the step of isolation.  was pretty confident that i could contain my exposure until today when a customer coughed and spit right on me -yuck.... i was way back, at least 3ft. so much for hand washing and cleaning surfaces.  like most people, i live paycheck to paycheck, and i also have employees that i need to pay. timing will be very important. do not want to panic and close too soon, but closing to late, well could be too late... i agree with most that this situation in turkey is critical- waiting and watching is driving me crazy.

so i ask--- when to run for cover----

thanks

I am sorry that I do not have an answer to tell you because I am "so" confused.  I, too, work with the public and last week we had a man who was job searching on one of our computers and sneezed not once but three times and never covered his mouth.

Last night as my family and I gathered around the dinner table I was telling them about what was going on in Turkey.  After I spoke our nightly local news gave a report that said three had died and made it sound like it was nothing.  Needless to say, my family thinks I am crazy.  No one will listen!

Angel, I believe the time has arrived.  They will listen to you by the end of this week when they see the death toll.

Trust me on this one .... just sit back for a few days and watch what happens.  They will listen by the end of this week.  

When the panic begins, it is crucial that we here on this forum remain calm.  Give your family and friends guidence and keep them focused.   They will remain calm if you remain calm.   The panic shopping could get very competitive so keep everybody focused .....

albert, you say to wait & watch, which is what i am doing, but what should i watch for ? cluster breakouts that can not be related to bth? is there # or event that will trigger your taking the step of isolation ?

 

angel- my family thinks i am crazy too.

Albert, the operative word is "sustained" transmission.  There is no confirmation of sustained transmission H2H in Turkey and thus no pandemic.

It doesn't have to be h2h for a panic to start.  I think the mere death toll this week will scare people pretty bad.... Just my opinion ....

Deej, you have some time.  We will know when it starts and I will tell you. 

However, here is your answer....

The second they start showing ANY clusters on ANY other continents other than in Asia, that will be the final time to run for cover. 

I will tell you when that happens - I will watch it very carefully for You.  You will be safe at home before anyone realizes what is about to hit them.

Albert you know as well as I do and the rest of us..we won,t hear any major story about this for a few months....WHO is in there now and that means no more truths coming out of Turkey..they will low key this until there is another outbreak possibly in Iran,Saudi or Bulgaria...So don,t get your hopes up to high on knowing..

 

And I am not of mind to really understand Niman,

Hi Pola....

The vaccine will take around 6 months to develop - and then it will take another 6 - 12 months to create enough for everybody.   You may need to hold out for 12 months, say the experts.  

Have you gotten a pneumona vaccination yet?   The pneumonia vaccination will prevent the (lethal) secondary bacterial pneumonia.  In order to prevent the pneomona from developing, tell your mom to get a pneumonia vaccination asap.

What makes you think they can create enough vaccine for everyone in 6 months Albert.  I heard it would take ten years just to make enough for 20% of the world population
Seeking like minded individuals that would like to have a back up plan if this thing really takes hold. I'm in the midst of buying some very remote land and I need some earthy people to join me.
