Hey Waving hand everyone, I got my twitter back from when I was a kid, will update the world on what im doing through here!
we change as we get older, that’s the truth. Like you I don’t get those massive head colds, but for me, they’ve been replaced by allergy congestion and runny nose (ah...maybe that will keep the virus washed out ! wishful thinking.) And I do get chest colds that last more than a few weeks, too. Maybe it’s different viruses. It’s been said you’re supposed to be immune to every one you survive. And there are a whole lot more of them than us!
it’s a great find, HollyB. Thanks!
Fox is saying that one nba player tested positive for the virus but was not at the stadium tonite. Didn’t identify the player.

-The New Orleans Pelicans/Sacramento Kings cancelled their game due to Courtney Kirkland was part of the officiating crew for Monday night’s game between the Jazz and Raptors
I’m getting whiplash today trying to follow all the new cases.
Really why is the coffee aisle still nice and full? We can’t grow that!!
Anyway.
San Francisco Bay Area Costco: I was just going for my usual
monthly trip. Not any special prep trip. Had my little list, the usual.
Things I noticed:
1. It was twice as busy as usual.
2. Gas was only 3.05 per gallon which is very cheap here
3. There was just one aisle with the hoarded favorites in it. Tp, paper towels, napkins, rice...and there was an employee at both ends making you just go one way - traffic control. You were limited to just two of each of these items maximum. I just got my one tp I decided to not go with the get as much as you can attitude. I know that’s controversial here.
4. Many people had their carts with doubles of the restricted items. But not most.
5. In the unrestricted aisles they were out of flour and brown sugar. If I’d needed these I’d have been annoyed but I did not.
6. I got everything on my list.
Coffee, vanilla, coconut oil/flour/flakes, tea.
Those were on my list for very last trip to store.
Glad you made it out with out having to see you on a liveleak video. ; )
After traveling with Bolsonaro, Wajngarten is suspected of having a coronavirus

opportunity knocks. Dragonfruit anyone? Flowers? Pacific-caught fish?
The economic impact is likely to be felt on several fronts in Latin America: a devaluation of currencies as investors seek refuge in gold and U.S. dollars; a decline in tourism; and dips in demand for exports and prices.
In Colombia, flower companies say they’ve redirected fresh cut bouquets originally destined for China to other markets. In Chile, fruit exporters say crops like strawberries languished in Chinese ports as cities were quarantined and prices dropped. Ships carrying salmon slated for China were redirected to Brazil and the United States. In Mexico, there are concerns about interruption of supply chains impacting assembly plants.
he claims he is fine

Another drive-thru test setup.
Makes about 5 so far. Great idea IMO.
No gatherings of more than 250 people in Oregon...just announced...but schools “should remain open,” says guv Brown.
Thanks. Interesting
Kids are a major vector of all viruses. Stupid move by the Governor to keep schools open in a hot zone.
Umm, Influenza A is NOT the common cold, it is the flu. It explains his symptoms and that's where most doctors close the case and move on. Glad he's gonna be OK, but for a guy who has the potential to infect so many people, you would think they would have just tested for COVID-19 to be safe.
curses don’t work on Americans, chinese ones or otherwise.
March 2 - ban China Mar 11 - ban Europe
Italy wasn’t the only country to have infection. The USA isn’t Europe’s parent. Germany could have stopped flights on their own. France, too. Do they need the US to hold their hand?
We gave them a chance. As any friend would do.
