“4 employees of CBS News in New York have now tested positive for coronavirus...CBS News is experiencing the coronavirus crisis at home while covering it in real time. Four employees have fallen ill and the news division’s New York offices are almost entirely closed”

Have they apologized yet for going along with Trump/Russia Collusion?

“ Publix - closing at 8pm to re-stock and sanitize stores”

All of a store’s employees are going to get sick at the same time. Also, they will have been spreading the infection around the store for several days, so county health will want to disinfect the store, unless it’s already well out of control in county, then what does it matter?

But a novel virus is an unknown. And a new novel virus, that’s still in diapers mutation wise, is a huge unknown because nobody knows what it will grow up to be - H1N1 level, cold level, or Andromeda Strain level?

Yes, it it an unknown. But we studied and defeated Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 (A/H1N1), and the same can be done with COVID-19. We just have to have the will to do so, regardless of the media.

You send staff at the power plants to Mars, in effect. Isolate the facility from intrusion of outside sources of infection. Drop ship essential supplies which are then treated with a portable gamma source for sterilization. A military operation provides security, access control outside the facility.

Swine flu: 0.03 percent of infected dead at most in the US.

Covid-19: Hopefully, only 1 percent dead, out of however many infected, if we’re lucky.

I saw that. Are they now covering up in which counties the new cases are located?

“ No. The MSM, anemedia, has done everything they could to inflame it.”

The CDC says 250,000 to 1,700,000 Americans will die of the novel coronavirus.

The MSM reports that projection, occasionally, but they don’t pound on it all day long. And they don’t talk about what we are going to do with all the bodies. That would be sensational.

But I guess that conversation is being had. What do you think we should do with them? How many do you think will be healthcare providers? How are we going to staff the hospitals when this is over? Maybe we need to just keep the infected out of the hospitals.

All serious, sober, pertinent, and necessary questions that the MSM doesn’t even touch on. Because they don’t want to panic people.

Now go wash your hands.

Yeah, you are good. If I ever have to walk down a dark alley and run into some FluBros, I want you with me!

“The Brazoria County Health Department is reporting two confirmed ‘presumptive positive’ cases of novel coronavirus in the Alvin area.”

These individuals live in the same home. They haven’t traveled outside the Houston area but did go to some Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo events

“Montgomery County Public Health District confirmed the county’s fourth presumptive positive test of COVID-19.” The first one, 40 something policeman from Patton Village, is in critical condition. Prayers.

“Coronavirus update: Houston Health Department confirms city’s 5th presumptive positive COVID-19 case.” I thought they had more than 5. Looks like another of the Egypt church group. Ok, there are 27 “area” cases.

“After distributing free meals to hundreds of families at Chavez High School Saturday morning, HISD added 31 campuses to its list of locations where families can pick up free meals next week.” What could go wrong? Each kid gets 28 meals per kit.
