Factual questions about Wuhan virus, most of which relevant to "medical:" GQ or IMHO?

Just thought I’d try to get a ruling from On High to keep things simpler and easy…

Consider two alternatives:

Query 1: “How long will the Wuhan virus stay viable on a surface?”–
I would put in GQ.

But unsurprisingly the same thought/question originally came to me as

Query 2: “Guy diagnosed with Wuhan sneezes into his hand, how worried should I be if he shakes hands with me?”–
which either would be bounced right off to IMHO or often would be as the thread gets going.

[ :slight_smile: I guess this OP is a version of the old research/translational medicine thing.]

I can see SD being truly a good an important place to be true to its name on info on the virus, which actually makes the question of forums a little more important, somehow.

“How worried should I be” is a solicitation of opinion no matter what the subject is.

3

Maybe new questions about it should be directed one of the other 57 coronavirus threads currently open here.

4

If it’s that bad, there should only be one thread. Maybe two at most.

5

Well, there were, at first. But the threads are contagious.

6

One might say they’re viral.

7

ie not GQ.

… and one or two other replies in this thread–

Umm…just a heads up:

How concerned should I be about eating fast food in the covid-19 pandemic?

Mods attack! Show no mercy!
