Right around the time the World Health Organization was declaring the novel coronavirus a full-blown pandemic, Cody Lee Pfister walked into a Walmart in Missouri and delivered his own public service announcement — of the twisted variety.
I suspect this writer has wanted to use "public service announcement - of the twisted variety!!" for a long time

do they also... stop being infected again afterwards, in time?
(ok the article says it's probably unlikely that they'll get it or that they'll transmit it, so hopefully it won't come to that, but, great, a new thing to worry about)

WOW.
that is amazing. for those that haven't clicked, the gov of georgia, Brian Kemp, says he just learned within the last 24 hours that coronavirus can be spread before people show symptoms. and that's why he's doing the more strict containment measures, now.

Here is where linguistic nuance comes to the rescue. Gov. Brian Kemp was told that coronavirus can be spread before people show symptoms repeatedly in the past several weeks, but he only learned this in the past 24 hours.

xp: TBF, everyone on mechanical ventilators is sedated to not care, and on muscle relaxants to inhibit voluntary movement. Think of it as being roommates with someone who shares a K-hole obsession. You might notice them once a week.
AFAICT, the main limitation on multiple patients/ventilator is that everyone has to share similar lung tidal volume. Children with children, big men with big men...
