Copying you since I referenced your posts

[frogjerk]

We have 2 indirect contacts I know of so far.

That many! WE ARE SO SCREWED! PANIC!

Zero is my number.

This morning the first case of a person testing positive in my county (Onondaga, in upstate NY) was registered.

Daughter of friend doing a college semester in Italy. Has it. Feels really lousy.

It turned me into a newt...

Despite some jerks who jump to conclusions, I think this might be a useful place to track one and two degrees of separation to our community.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Husband and wife in my town are positive.

I and one of my sons have been directly affected by the panic.

To a lessor extend, so is Mrs BE. She can no longer eat in the lunchroom and has to go out to her car, along with hundreds of others.

Did they pass out at 31 Flavors?

[pburgh01]

I have it. I traveled internationally the last 2 weeks, have flu like symptoms and a fever and after a call with Doctor she told me "I think you may have contracted it, but for someone with your strong immune symptoms you will recover just fine. But goto the ER if things get worse." As of Friday there were no tests for it...none. I am self quarantining till a week after my symptoms subside(please don't start lecturing me on what the propaganda says that I need to quarantine for 3 weeks). This was per advice of my doctor. The hyterical posts of graphs and knee jerk paranoia was somehting to behold here over the weekend. That Travis McGhee idiot was something else

This is a big nothingburger, just a grand scheme to get rid of Trump by tanking the economy.

How do they all fit in to her car? ;-)

orange wigs and a big red plastic nose, and they all go in like butter..

[Balding_Eagle]

Hehe. yeah, that was poorly written wasn’t it?

I think he is a Biden voter.

Good friend in Washington... I am in Tennessee.

That is so cynical of you to believe that the Chinese, the MSM, the EU, and the democrat governors of Washington, California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York hate Trump enough that they would hurt the economy in a chance to drive him out in November.

A cynic like you probably thinks they secretly enjoy watching working people who voted for Trump getting screwed, they laugh at ending his rallies, and they revel in wielding emergency crisis rule by decree too.

You bad bad cynical man. /s
