"This sounds very, very mild compared to what I went thru."

I was flat on my back for four days many years ago and though I was a smoker I couldn't stand a cigarette. Smokers will realize how bad that was.

I'm happy for young, healthy people who little to fear from this virus. Unfortunately for us, my wife and I are in our seventies. She has compromised immunity due to chemo and I have had a quadruple bypass and some lung damage from a chemo-like drug. We are exactly the kind of people who could find themselves in competition for a ventilator should things go bad.

Our hope is to avoid the virus, but that makes us very dependent upon what others do. We are practicing "social distancing" in the extreme.

There’s no baseball.

So he and his wife just happened to pick up Corona virus in a country that has ONE reported case? Not buying it.

Aren’t ‘they’ promoting a new movie of his?

Never can tell, this may be good for the box office.....

When I was 26 I had given up hope that I could ever quit smoking. Then I got a nasty virus, horribly sick. When I recovered I found I had lost the urge.

I’ve always been grateful I got so sick, it saved my life.

Uh, I don’t know about that...

The Formula 1 opening round of the season was scheduled for this weekend in Australia but it was postponed/cancelled.

Seems as if there are several hundred cases:

They probably brought it it’s them, got it in the airport, or on the plane.

At this point...what difference does it make?

(Yes, I am being sarcastic. Why can’t SHE get this...it would make this all worth it...right?”)

LOL

I don't hate the guy, but you're right on target with that.

Celebrities coming out on this, I just don't give a dang.

I don't wish anything bad for them, but how narcisistic is it to think
we really need to know?

Tell me how Frank and Edna from down the street are doing.

It's much more important.
