LT is out today.
Yesterday's thread is here:

still on track to double confirmed cases every two days.
Yep.
Here in Virginia, I am guessing it will be some time next week.
Most of the major universities have cancelled live classes and are not committing to when then will resume.
Lookner—CAA basketball conference—ref tests positive—refereed games before he showed symptoms

Chief Executive of UK BT Telecom Group tested positive—big company, international, 100K employees
Lookner—Spain—leader of political party tested positive
Yeah, Linda Graham was at the same dinner, and has already said he’ll isolate.
Schools in Ohio are closing as of Monday end of day.
My city...with no cases...is closing everything.
There is mass panic in the grocery stores locally this afternoon.
Everything feels like it is being shutdown. Parents are in a quandary as to what to do with their children staying out of school for 3 weeks.
My business has died completely and if what they are saying in Ohio is they are anticipating the peak of the virus in late April through May.
April 15 was to be the final regular season NBA games. My guess is, if this thing settles down by the end of April or so, they might just take the standings as of now and seed the teams and hold the playoffs.
If the virus disrupts things much beyond that, they’ll probably just cancel the rest of the season and playoff
Understand but wow...
Yesterday the Houston Stock show closed down. That is my industry. This was going into the last weekend, which traditionally, 40 percent of your money can be made on the last weekend of a multi week show. Really huge losses for RCS, the carnival, vendors that count on this money to live to get to the next show...all down the line. RCS now tears down and heads to Tucson and we will be there...maybe...Our industry should shut down this spring. We would loose thousands of dollars, I mean a huge chunck of change. But who will come anyway? Word was that Houston was soft the past three weekends because of the Coronavirus...still....a huge move that no one wanted but had to be done.
Makes you wonder, are their agents who are positive deliberatly going around and targeting people?
I have absolutely no doubt this is the case.
It’s beginning to look like that.
Just do a search on Public Schools closing, then click News.
You’ll get a pretty accurate list, to date.
WA
With fewer people reporting for jury duty during the novel coronavirus outbreak, King County Superior Court judges are contacting attorneys involved in pending civil trials to let them know it could be 60 to 90 days before jurors are available to hear those cases, said Presiding Judge Jim Rogers.
That was pretty much our starting gun too. Watching them literally digging up the roads and dispatching the military to enforce the quarantine was a wakeup. Been watching the chicoms my whole life and never ever seen anything remotely like that before!
We got our medications in order for through the end of the year. That was in Janaury’February...bizzare to watch all this happening...
Public officials meet lots of people, shake lots of hands, hold and attend big parties, etc.
They are spreaders, big time...
I am trying hard not to succumb to conspiracy theories, but all of this is very, very strange.
There may be a good reason why Trump classified the WH discussions about the virus.
a baby makin boom
The quarantines (military) are coming, and sooner than people think, first in some hotspots and then in more and more places.
They will be acts of panic by .gov, and way too late....
Fortunately the only med we ‘need’ is hubby’s blood pressure med.
And he can get that lower if he tries (one meal a day, working outside some, etc) without the med. The med has just become a crutch lately.
Better hope the epidemic doesn’t last more than 9 months or it’ll be ‘have that baby at home with no epidural’ boom too.
Everything we have been posting here for the past two weeks would scare the (*&^ out of people, and it has been accurate.
They didn’t want to scare people, not that complicated.
if this truly affects male fertility, no doubt it’s bio-engineered. Kill the old, sterilize the young.
I wonder what criteria they will apply.
They certainly can’t use cases here, except perhaps in NoVa. There aren’t enough of them yet.
They again Virginia stopped publishing the numbers on pending tests.
