CoTT 2 House of Cards

[Albert1434]

• 1 oz. Black Truffle Butter
•  
  2 oz. Light Cream Cheese
• 1 Russet Potato
• 3 oz. Brussels Sprouts
• 8 oz. Cauliflower Florets
• ½ tsp. Garlic Salt
•  
  1 oz. Grated Parmesan
• 2 Green Onions
•  
  8 oz. Scallops
•  

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees

•  

  If using any fresh produce, thoroughly rinse and pat dry

•  

  Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray

•  

  Ingredient(s) used more than once: green onions

•  

   

• Cut cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces. Slice potato into ¼" rounds. Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate. Trim stems off Brussels sprouts and quarter. Pat scallops dry. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

• Place Brussels sprouts, potato rounds, cauliflower, and white portions of green onions on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, Parmesan, garlic salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage oil and seasonings into vegetables. Spread into a single layer (some overlap is ok). Roast in hot oven until tender and starting to brown, 25-27 minutes.

• After vegetables have roasted 10 minutes, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
  Add scallops to hot pan and cook until scallops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove scallops to a plate and tent with foil. Lower heat to medium and keep pan on burner.

• Add ¼ cup water and cream cheese to hot pan. Bring to a boil while whisking or stirring vigorously. Once boiling, remove from burner and add a pinch of salt and black truffle butter. Whisk or stir vigorously until completely combined.

• placing scallops on vegetables and topping with sauce. Garnish with green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!

There are 2 confirmed cases with 21 others being investigated for possible exposure to the second individual.

That’s a lot of people worried

[Albert1434]

Bucket can you give me the link to the reporting service please 

[Albert1434]

Its surprising how scary this stuff is but in terms of out breaks

Black Plague killed an estimated 75 million to 200 million

The Spanish flu 500 million got it and it killed 50 million

So far this is small potatoes

I don't think we should panicked much about it. Sure there are quite a number of people we have died already but most if not all, I'm not sure there, were all in China were it started to spread and so before everyone knew about it and before it was addressed by doctors. Now that we know about it people can be more careful without giving in to panic. Plus in others countries most case are in quarantine due to suspicious exposure. 

Take a deep breath Albert, it all gonna be alright

This uses official figures and is updated regularly. The only real issue is that the dots are attached to the state or province so are not located “in the right spot”. It will not be on the capital cities but in the geographic centre. The data includes deaths and recoveries although the recovery data is probably not the most accurate (least reported).

A swag of people have been exposed to the virus and not got the disease. These are not in the figures.

Yeah reading up on pandemics is pretty scary. The good news is we have a better understanding of the causes and prevention. We have the ability to develop vaccines “reasonably quickly”. Australian scientists have already created the virus in the lab and it’s moved to our secure biohazard facility where, cross fingers, a vaccine is on the way. 
 

Should we panic, no, should we be cautious, absolutely. 
 

China has learnt a lot from SARS, it has been quite proactive and open. The real issue is that this is all new. The other corona viruses are not infectious if the person has no symptoms. This one seems to be a bit different. The 14 day exclusions from schools and workplaces will do a lot to reduce the spread.

Not wanting to turn this into a bit of a rant but... the best things you can do to protect yourself are the things you should be doing to stop influenza. WASH YOUR HANDS, seriously, this is one of the world's leading public health measures. Don’t cough or sneeze on people.

In the unlikely event you are exposed to the virus, 14 days away from people is a smart move. If you develop symptoms, see your health provider and tell them about your exposure before you go. They can make arrangements to protect other patients. This is the same for measles, chicken pox and a long list of infectious diseases.

This is a serious situation but we are not at panic stations yet.

 

[Bucket1]

One more thing... hand sanitizers are fine and convenient but soap and water works the best. 

[Bucket1]

Ok I lied, this is the last thing...

This is changing quite rapidly as we find out more about the new virus, keep in touch with you local health authorities. Each country seems to be doing a reasonable job of providing information so listen to what they have to say  

[Bucket1]

I am bad at this...

One last thing, really, it will be the last...

Don't trust YouTube or other social media, this is not from bat soup, that video was from the Pacfic not China, pure click bait...

Tea bats do not carry conora virus

There is a new case of the coronavirus in the bay area California omg 😭 My mother lives in napa part of the Bay Area 

Albert, mum and I really think the chances of your mother contracting coronavirus are slim to none. The flu is a far greater concern for those of us in the States.

I just realized Tuesday will be my 9th GA anniversary. I joined on Feb 4, 2011.

Nope. They only carry satchels of tea blends. Maybe with a kettle and a sugar bowl, bundled around their neck.
