#4 Not surprised about the Norse. We are not a very physical social or huggy people. Extreme end would be the Italians.

Open question to Burgs. There was a persistent respiratory infection north of the metro in Minnesota. Little contact if any from China-asia as a whole. That was in late October, early November. Even a local cattery had all of their felines infected.

In your opinions, is there any chance that could have been a Wuhan instance. Personally I don't think so but had to ask my betters here. What say you?

#5 /\ Possibly Blastomycosis. Again, possibly.

#7 Could be B, thank you. Our lakeside village has the last stand of old growth white pines in this part of the state.

But, Blastomycosis is not a contagious disease and it is generally not transmitted from one person to other. The likelihood of Blastomycosis transmission is rare.

Remind me, when was the first known case in Wuhan?

#8 Using the latest reports from hospitals, the state [NY] now expects it may need only about 20,000 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients when the pandemic peaks—less than a fifth of the 110,000-bed projection that Cuomo had relied on previously.

#9 Dr Oz's comment was interesting.

Using hcq by Wu outpatients would potentially be a major advance in getting this under control. I suspect we don't have enough of the hcq currently.

#10 If you can’t get HCQ as an outpatient, an intelligent home version would be to take zinc tablets and use saline nasal irrigation several times a day if you start getting Wuflu symptoms. This, at least, provides chlorine ions in the nasal mucosa.

But, try to get the HCQ plus zinc from your doctor first!
