" 'We know that gorillas are very sensitive to human diseases,' she said. 'If anyone has a cold or a flu they are not allowed to go and see the gorillas. With coronavirus having such a long time of no symptoms ... it means that we could actually put those gorillas at risk.' "

So ... we're a bit more related to gorillas than we believe

"Such a long time of no symptoms" is revelation that only symptoms
have been society's popular evidence of colds and flu - not more scientific evidence.

Those who still gather are confident that "the other guy" has the virus and that they can avoid such contact
that would cause it to pass their way (or that the virus will have minimal effect on them). That they could pass it on
to people more vulnerable is not a concern.

" 'When people get sick, the first thing in their body that actually gets depleted is vitamin C,'
said Dr. Steven Katz, a naturopathic physician in Scottsdale."

"Dr. Katz said the New York doctors are giving patients around 6,000 milligrams a day through IV and seeing positive results,
but warns that by pill, people shouldn’t take more than 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C per day unless told by their doctor."

but a daily intake of natural Vitamin C (food) may help minimize virus vulnerability.
Also, Vitamin C is water soluble, requiring good hydration for super doses

"America Is Now The COVID-19 Epicenter: The U.S. Just Had 17,224 Newly Confirmed Coronavirus Cases In A Single Day!"

Those cases (and many more) have probably existed for weeks - rapidly increasing testing creates the graph
with such an upward curve, but a more flattened curve would have been created with much earlier testing (IMO).

What about the countries where the virus is present yet hardly being tested
Those future announcements may suddenly shout PANDEMIC!

"But Massie said he might hold up the bill, citing Constitutional issues about voting without a quorum present.
'US Constitution ARTICLE I, SECTION 5, CLAUSE 1 Quorum requirement:' he tweeted earlier this week with a screen grab

Massie has a good point ...
if citizens of this democracy still value their Constitution (vote needs to be legal as required by law);
a voting-without-quorum precedence can undermine the Constitution. He may have sacrificed his career

Seems to me ...

There's a big difference between how the coronavirus is spreading
and how it could spread (such as the virus remaining on surfaces).

Alarming news/predictions* seem focused on how it could spread,
but how it's actually spreading best determines defensive action.

* effectively intensified by delayed testing! (what's reported
is rate of testing/confirmation - not rate of virus spread)

"The public are currently being asked to keep a distance from each other of at least 6ft 6in. But a new study
by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests gap should be four times bigger at around 26 feet."

And suggests new shoppin' technology: Every customer must wear a human detection device that beeps
when you're too close to another person. Then change direction or "shelter in place" until the device tells you to move.

In BIG stores, you stay in a control booth and navigate a robot (kids will love shoppin') that gathers your items
... or you operate the robot from your vehicle with your laptop or cell phone (it's OK to tip robots).
The control booth is automatically fumigated when you leave (part of the shoppin' cost).
