Is COVID-19 airborne or is it jus transferable?
Also would I need goggles and gloves jus in case?

Not a dumb question at all. What makes it worse than being “airborne” is that it’s aerosolized, meaning it can be transferred by microscopic droplets that you breathe, as opposed to many viruses that are transferred through droplets that are coughed, sneezed, etc. That’s the reason the mask and goggles must be airtight so it can’t enter your mucous membranes via aerosol. This also means it can travel further distances and be suspended in the air longer (think smoke).

My question is how are asymptomatic people transferring the virus if they aren’t coughing or sneezing?
Is the aerosolization caused by simply breathing in and out or opening your mouth

Exactly, just breathing
EDIT: the virus is also present in feces and urine, so general cleanliness helps prevent transmission

Stock up on 2-3 weeks of canned soup, Ramen, and KD
toilet paper, hand sanitizer, masks

If she balks, just do it. Easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
Even if she thinks you’re being unreasonable now (as my wife does, unfortunately), she’ll thank you later if/when panic sets in. Already getting hard to find masks.

I honestly don’t trust ANY numbers that are coming out. Be safe out there everyone and stock up if necessary. Its better to be prepared than not. I am not that worried about myself as I am for my parents or elders in my family. Also the babies and young ones are particularly where my concerns are.
This has been a pandemic weeks ago imo. This virus is being transmitted from person to person without any contact to Wuhan or individuals from Wuhan. This virus has traveled all across the globe how is this not a pandemic yet? Maybe my understanding of the term is limited.

Not sure how I feel about this but its an interesting read. WHO spends ~200M a year for travel. Not sure when they arrived in Wuhan but not soon enough! WHO also praises china's response to maintaining the Virus. Am I dreaming??
