A place to consolidate CoronaVirus Stories
I haven’t read enough of this thread to see if this has been posted, but I looked online for Staples cleaning supplies about a week ago and literally the only product they had in stock was paper towels. Then today they sent out this email:
March 5, 2020
Dear Valued Staples Customer,
We know your company is working hard to navigate the current landscape and keep employees and customers healthy, so I am reaching out to keep you up to date on product availability related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
This past week has seen a spike in demand for certain cleaning and paper products as well as hand sanitizers. In addition, some products may be impacted by manufacturing delays.
Please know our teams are working around the clock, closely monitoring our supply chain, partnering with our key suppliers and actively sourcing alternatives.
If items are out of stock, we will mark them clearly on our website. As they come back in stock, we will refresh the site to show you they are available.
We will be in touch with more updates as soon as we have them. I thank you sincerely for your patience.
Joanne Harris
Chief Commercial Officer, Staples, Inc.
Considering all the hospitals and clincs, Dr offices etc. across the country there would be an increase because they’re all preparing for what could happen. Then you add schools, gyms and companies also taking extra percautions.....all this before even considering the public.

Pence better get out in front of this they are quoting him out of context or outright lying about what he stated.

Coronavirus latest: 3 people now awaiting test results in Ohio
It is important to note there are no confirmed cases in the state of Ohio. The Ohio Department of Health‘s latest update Thursday at 2 p.m. stated 3 people are now awaiting test results.
The Ohio Department of Health says those 3 people under investigation have exhibited symptoms of respiratory illness AND, within 14 days of symptoms starting, either traveled to China or had been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19. All 3 are awaiting lab test results.
True, but thankfully the international terminal is a separate building on the other side of the runways from the domestic terminal.
It would take all of ten seconds to take a person's temp...AS THEY'RE BOARDING... and STOP passengers from infecting other passengers... That needs to be added to our 'fight the virus' list...

NEW: French lawmaker Jean-Luc Reitzer has tested positive for coronavirus and is seriously ill - BFMTV
Yep, I bought a box of 200 Nitrile gloves online about a month ago for less than $10. Also a box of 10 disposable surgical masks for less than $7. The local CVS here was selling masks individually out of a box today for $10 each.
I was late to the hand sanitizer a few days ago, but still got two 8 oz bottles on ebay for about $6.50 apiece. Now what they have is 2 to 5 times more expensive.
Thanks....for the locale.
It is an eery scene.
How long were the SK schools even closed?
You do know that this virus has a no symptoms two week latency period?
They’ll continue to do this regardless of what Pence says.....heck we have the same thing going on here on FR. You never knw who to believe or what.
I think pence and Trump can take care of what they can, the rest will be over the bridge in time and tide.
France reported 138 new cases and 3 new deaths today.

The test is being used for patients at Stanford Hospital and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford suspected of being infected with the respiratory virus SARS-CoV-2, which is spreading globally after being first identified in Wuhan, a city in China, late last year. It is expected to deliver results within 12-24 hours
It’ll take off like wildfire in Africa.
From today’s Medcram video.
Pages 20 and 22 shows the mutations and how they extend.
Also, the blue represents (L type) the more serious strain). The red (S strain) represents the milder one.
