If travel from places that have it is crucial, when will the states start preventing traffic from Washington, Oregon, and New York?

When will eastern Washington cut off Western?

When will cities barricade themselves against their neighbors?

I’m more worried about the Flu...and I’ll bet we have less flu this year due to all the hygiene advice

I don’t believe ....................


At some point we have to place our bets. The options are:

1) take you money off the table.

2) hold and let the situation play out.

3) put more money on the table.

I suspect it will be as bad in pockets same. Too many people dismissed it and still do as flu. Only now is Trump even taking it seriously and he still has not closed the borders. Plus, CDC has been and appears totally incompetent in testing.

I figure we’ll know in about three to four weeks. If we don’t see a huge uptick in cases, which I hope we don’t, then I think people will relax. If young people decide they’re safe they’re not going to stay home for long. And how much TP can you store in your garage? Let’s get through the next few weeks and see where we are. For the record I’m 68 and my wife is older and has COPD, so we’re being cautious.

The one thing I have not heard answered. If I get this, will or can I recover?

Hmmm, why would nobody want to answer that?

Might I get it? Absolutely! But will I be able to recover? Sure, it will be unpleasant and horrid being sick with this. Isn’t it always unpleasant being sick with the flu or say, Lyme’s Disease, which I have had.

Crickets.

Are more people currently recovering from this than getting sick? Have people who contracted it actually gotten better.

Crickets.

Because, you know, when you can’t win at the polls, just collapse the world. I wonder, after the first economic data is released showing us in a recession, will it be a matter of seconds or micro-seconds before the media pivots from Coronavirus, pretends it never happened, and the coverage is the economy and “Trumps Recession” 24/7?

“The measures have been extreme for a free and open country but they were implemented early.”

It wasn’t addressed nationally until this last week, it’s been here since at least January - individually people who were aware of the danger became prepared even though most Americans weren’t aware and/or didn’t want to hear the news, but we are very late to the game as a nation.

Big test on the market tomorrow. I give this 2 weeks more. We have found oyt about Northern Italy, the nursing home in Washington, facts the left has left out...I almost think this virus is a dumpster fire and the real virus is the normal flu or cold that is seemingly worse this year. Why did the federal government hire outbreak workers in November?

When I here a sentence that contains “I believe” or “I think” I immediately place the sentence under same category as “I like cheese, do you like cheese?”

Frame it another way. Lots of FR are over 60, many over 75. Wait until a few get sick or their their spouses and siblings get sick, maybe even start dying. Let’s see if people are willing to dismiss it then or criticize any discussion about it.

If not for the “its just the flu” bros and the idiots so self centered they break quarantine I would say you are right. Unfortunately a significant % of our population are stupid aholes and are going to run around like typhoid marys.

Yep. Over the hump in a couple weeks, cautiously hold fast for a couple more. Then back to work.

We’ll still have the intended finial issues which will make Trump essential in Nov.

Italy is the hardest hit hot-spot in Europe, supposedly their health care system has been brought to its knees. Over 60 million people live in Italy. During the 2017 - 2018 flu season “the number of influenza-attributable excess deaths was 24,981”, from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971219303285

As of two days ago it was reported there were 1255 deaths this year from the Corona-virus during this flu season. Did we have the same type of breathless reporting during the 2017-18 flu season when there were 20 times more deaths from the flu?

Why didn't an infectious respiratory illness. with nearly the same symptoms that caused approximately 20 times more deaths cause the same type of chaos? Something does not add up. This virus is by all measures a variant of the flu. If there had not been living conditions in Wuhan that made it flair up in a spectacular way, there is a good chance that the virus would not have been identified, the excess deaths would habe been attributed to the flu and no worldwide panic would have ensued.

I have a theory. First, the COVID-19 virus is continuing to mutate slightly it infects person to person. The most deadly versions of the virus kills the persons and the mutated version dies with the persons death. The milder virus versions are more easily transmitted to additional people since they are in an alive person who affects others. Over time the virus will get more and more milder and many more people will be infected with the milder and more milder versions. But the milder visions of COVID-19 will still cause the people's immune system to attack the milder and more deadly versions of the COVID-19 virus. So in time almost everyone will have immunity. Q.E.D.

When are they going to start snatching up the homeless people living in tents? Until they start doing this I won’t take them seriously!
