Thank you
What are we doing with our troops?
” (except for TP which the females in the house seem to burn through but I’ll fix that tomorrow)”
Just how big is your garage?
It’s just not possible to buy enough TP for 3 months with wimmins in the house.
Not possible.
That is thick.
This event also proves that Trump is right about our companies coming home this should be an eye opener for companies doing business in communist countries cheap labor yes BUT truth NO!!! Theft of their secrets has to be very costly also!!!
So many pedantic people on the Internet.
The chances of YOU dying from this is about 1000:1. Lighten up.

The number of people in #Germany infected rose to 129 on Sunday, up from 66 on Saturday. #Coronavirus #COVID19
Amen and why we should NOT depend on China or other countries for trade to fix our crisis.
It is a National Security issue to keep companies here, and the U.S. government should be extremely friendly to all businesses. Meaning cut taxes almost to zero, cut regulations and encourage new businesses start up here.

Two more ambulances just arrived at Life Care Center of Kirkland, where two people were diagnosed with #coronavirus. Dozens others are being monitored and tested.
Plenty of asians here at my costco in Jax. None that I could tell were stocking up. Seems to be the disaster prep hobbyists and speculators pushing this thing. Not that there is anything wrong with prepping in general. Anyway, I’ve got batteries stocked from the Hurricane seasons. Got some kleenex and soap on sale at Aldi today in prep.
Florida spring break hotel and car rental rates have not dipped at all. That makes me think most people have no intention of changing their plans due to this bug.

A Newmarket woman in her 70s is the third new case of COVID-19. Kurji said she was on the same tour in Egypt as the Toronto man who was announced on Friday as Ontario’s eighth case of the virus.
They have KFC Wendy’s Mc Ds and a host of other fast food take out joints - maybe Greek and Mexican as well
45,734 Cases which had an outcome
42,733 (93%) Recovered / Discharged
3,001 (7%) Deaths
Is that right? Is that a 7% Case Fatality rate?
Yes, that is correct, BUT... there are so many factors that we can’t yet account for, including, among others:
1. There are probably many, many, many undiagnosed cases that are mild enough not to be counted.
2. The vast majority of cases are in China, and the numbers are, by definition, unreliable. For example, China’s numbers have remained virtually unchanged for days. I’m thinking they have simply stopped really counting and reporting.
3. Picking up on #2, their health care system is completely overwhelmed.
4. A more advanced health care system and open government will be able (at least theoretically) to respond more effectively than China’s.
5. Other countries are forewarned. And forewarned is forearmed.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t be concerned I believe we should be very concerned. But frankly, my preparations are centered more around the inevitable supply chain disruptions than around avoiding/treating the virus.
We did change protocol for Communion and offering in wake of the virus.
I interpreted it to mean that any virus that results in pneumonia for seniors is a problem. This specific virus is no different. Pneumonia is a concern. So, just as with the flu complications can result ,
I think this is what level headed health professionals have been trying to say for some time now.
You forgot South Korea.
I think South Korea is the best indicator how the virus will act in the US big cities, they have a very health system. South Korea is also very good at documenting numbers.
When I visited Italy and Spain I was not impress at all.
They are still in and out of the zones as normal, from what I’ve heard.
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: U.S. Coronavirus Outbreak Widens: Rhode Island confirms its first case of the virus, while number of cases in King County, Wash., rises to six. “New cases of the novel coronavirus in Washington, California and Rhode Island on Sunday raised fears of a wider spread of the disease in U.S. communities, prompting federal officials to ramp up efforts to test for and fight the widening outbreak. Health officials are focused on a cluster of confirmed cases in Washington state where some patients had no clear path to exposure, including the first death from the virus in the U.S. Those cases, and several others in Oregon and California signal that there might be wider spread of the virus in some American communities with many cases still undiagnosed.”

Scoop: Lab for coronavirus test kits may have been contaminated. “The Trump administration has ordered an independent investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lab, and manufacturing of the virus test kits has been moved, the sources said. . . . It was not immediately clear if or how possible contamination in the Atlanta lab played a role in delays or problems with testing. Nor was it clear how significant or systemic the contamination concerns may be; whether it was a one-time issue that’s easily resolved, or a broader concern involving protocols, safeguards or leadership.” Flashback: You had one job, CDC.
I know little about Korea...but do they smoke a lot there?
“(Tin foil hat on)Any possibility China is using corona-19 to exterminate some healthy people?”
If so , it seems to me that they could do a much better job of it some other way
