A place to consolidate CoronaVirus Stories
It sounds like they _get_ _it_.
Hopefully they find a resting spot that works for everybody.
SINGAPORE
Everyone said to watch Singapore. They have done the best job of testing, contact tracing and quarantining. Up to now, they have been ahead of it with more recovered than confirmed. These two news stories are concerning:

Exactly right, Jane!
That’s how false info gets spread.
Amen, but we are supplied and bugged in. We are prepared to assist our parents, children and grandchildren. Each of them also have prepared to the best ability tho the kids are still having to work and 75% of grandkids still in school. (Thank God for the homeschooled)
This person would have been flying from Boston to Dallas. One of us would have needed to drive 2 hrs to pick this stranger up at the airport. And she was not wanting to come until March 22, to tie up loose ends. Nuts!

Coronavirus Lombardia, the peak of 8000 infections to be avoided by March 22nd
Behind the choices of politics there are numbers to think about. The latest Thursday updates give 2,251 swab positive cases for Lombardy, 1,169 hospitalized patients, 244 in intensive care, 98 died. It does not end here.
The commitment of all of us called to responsibly follow the measures useful to stop the virus race, among children who do not go to school and prohibition of overcrowding, serves to avoid the peak of infections.
***The estimate, for Lombardy only, is eight thousand new hospitalizations by March 22, 1,250 of which are serious and 400 in intensive care.*** These are forecasts drawn up on mathematical models by the experts of the Crisis Unit which are likely to come true if containment measures fail. They are not data that should alarm us, but they are important to guide us in our daily choices: everyone must limit contagion opportunities as much as possible and who is elderly (or frail) must remain at home

Ive noticed that toilet paper and water are low in most stores. And people are buying it!
Hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and rubbing alcohol are simply not to be found, except for ONE place. And thats BJs where you have to have a membership to join.
As I was looking at the rubbing alcohol, some lady as next to me and we started talking. I mentioned that this was the first place I found it and she seemed confused. I said something about it being effective against corona virus and she looked at me like I had two heads.
She didnt seem to have a clue what I was talking about.
I guess there are people still living under a rock.
Every time this virus is mentioned I bring up the fact that the previous globalist presidents didn’t have a problem moving nearly ALL our antibiotic production out of country...
