Please be respectful of each other’s opinions.

Let’s be careful about making predictions. There is enough crazy going on, let’s not add to it

I think I’m done replying to disruptors. I was too much time trying to convince the minds of the unconvincable. From now on I’m going to just absorb the new info and post info, as I can.

Forget about the late test kits/COVID-19 problems...PDJT is going to have to appoint a “TP Czar”...panic buying has set in near FR HQ as of today after yesterday’s announcement of COVID-19 in the Fresno area. Was getting groceries today and the local Von’s/Safeway and WalMart NM TP shelves were decimated. Hate to think what happened at Costco today...(didn’t go there). Not sure why TP is so popular for “panic mode”...would think shelf-stable food would be ahead of TP?

Other major retailers already have similar restrictions in place.

Coronavirus: Doctor says high blood pressure a major death risk. Of a group of 170 patients who died in January in Wuhan about 50% had hypertension.

Coronavirus: Doctor says

[Lions Gate]

This entire thing is massive FEAR MONGERING by the liberal media to try to make President Trump look bad in a Presidential election year. It won’t work.

In the USA this year ...
34 to 49 million people have had flu symptoms.
350,000 to 620,000 flu hospitalizations
64,000 people died of the flu.

So far, 22 people have died of the Coronavirus in the USA.

What is more important?
64,000 deaths from the flu or 22 deaths from the Coronavirus?

Italians are shuttering down

All of Italy is on lock down. Not just the north

“The decree provides for banning all public events, closing cinemas, theatres, gyms, discos and pubs, funerals, weddings and all sport events, including Serie A matches. All schools and universities will remain close until 3 April”

Rep. Gohmert (R-TX) may have been exposed at CPAC, but is not currently choosing to self-quarantine.

[usconservative]

In the past few weeks, my employer - a large multi-national/international bank has done the following:

First they banned all travel to China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan.

In addition they banned all our Asia-Pac partners from commuting to their offices and implemented the Work from Home business continuity plan for everyone in Asia/Pacific.

Then the news about Italy broke, and travel to Europe from North America was banned. Travel within Europe was approved for European Partners only however it was highly scrutinized and had to be for "very important business purposes only."

The following Monday, all travel within Europe was banned.

Two days after travel within Europe was banned, all travel within the United States was banned.

Last Wednesday, those of us in the Chicago area who work from different offices were all instructed we could no longer commute between offices to do our jobs. I work primarily out of a far western suburban office and occasionally commute into Chicago (yeah, I know ... "Chicago") to meet with business partners and fellow IT folks.

This morning at 1:26am our CTO sent an email to all US IT folks (that includes me ....) that he's instituted the Business Continuity Work From Home plan and we are all to work from home until the end of March.

This has all transpired in roughly the past two and a half weeks.

The absolute INSANITY and panic this stupid Wuhan Virus (let's call it what it is!) is wreaking on everything and all common sense has completely flown out the window. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
