It’s not the flu. And the temperature vulnerability for this virus has been cast into doubt. So don’t get too excited.
Numbers REALLY suspicious in the Philippines.
Dutae made the Philippines into a vacation colony of the Communist Chinese, as well as millions of legal and mostly illegal Communist Chinese workers in the Philippines working in POGOs and his Build, Build, Build projects.
Flights from China are still coming in.
Cebu is a huge destination for South Koreans, with most international flights going to South Korea.
Dutae has ordered the press and the public not to be xenophobic against the Communist Chinese. And his “strangle the virus” comment was outrageous.
But hey, since he supports Trump, let’s give his love affair with Winnie Xi Pooh a rest, right?
I see 2 possibilities.
1. Philippines is hiding number of infections because it needs the tourist money
2. People with symptoms or without symptoms are not being examined properly for the virus because of lack of infrastructure.
Yes, but if you get the severe case...that is the pneumonia...38.5% survival rate. Those 60-69 have a 3% death rate. Yikes...
Here is my other issue. We do fairs for a living and in three weeks leave for the Southwest for our Spring run. Don’t do a fair...don’t eat. No money. No one goes to a fair...we still don’t eat.
Very bad news. We do not have enough savings to last a year. Waiting for our tax returns to have enough for some vehicle repairs and fuel to Yuma. That is how close it gets this time of year and I amnot the only one. Indio just finished. No one makes much money, but everyone makes a little bit of money. Meat back on the menu.
I just don’t want to be on the road when things start shutting down. We have been on the road for more than 25 years and this is the most interesting one to say the least.
Didn’t give SARS any thought, nor H1N1 a few years back....
We do have in our favor that many of our goods are not Chinese sourced. We make our own tie dye...incense and oils come from India...Nepal for handbags and backpacks and Mexico for Baja hoodies. We do get some incense burners from China, but make a bunch of our own...Buttons, I make my own, the button bits come from China no doubt...But I have enough for now...Big Tapestries come from India. I make the others. SOme of our Rock and ROll tapestries come from Italy though.
I just pray this sort of bypasses the US somehow...I know there will be outbreaks here and there...but I hope the Summer keeps things at bay until we can get back home in the fall and wait out the second wave...Jeez...
Great post and link. Thanks. Health/life BUMP!

You may want to consider visiting on the Coronavirus live threads, they are continually updated with news and new cases.
Agree...at least the general public, here at FR, is seeming to be catching on....finally.
We do fairs for a living and in three weeks leave for the Southwest for our Spring run. Don’t do a fair...don’t eat. No money. No one goes to a fair...we still don’t eat.......We do not have enough savings to last a year.
So sorry to hear this.
Do you have a website?
I just put a ping to this thread on the Live Thread.
South Korean numbers and progression looks about like it did in China 8-10
days before it hit 10,000.
Let's hope South Korea can do a better job of putting the brakes on this than
China did.
PM me if you’ve got a website.
Yup....https://tiedyebarn.com But we are planning on hitting the road and since we will be in Yuma, Tucson and Logandale, NV, we are thinking the heat and low humidity will keep things at bay. We have masks and gloves if need be. But that is kinda weird if you know what I mean...
Who the hell is “Others”.
Where is USA?
If you count Covid-19, we most certainly will.
Don’t get me wrong...Not soliciting sympathy...I will not be the only one stuck. Think of all the self employed people in your comunities. They will be in the same boat more or less. Think of restaurants and bars and music venues and movie theaters and on and on and on. Not a pretty thing to think of...
And of course people with jobs down at the factory...
It will be Force Majuere.
We do have an out. Both my wife and I have been eligible for Social Security. While we wanted to wait to secure more per month...if we have to...then we will apply and at least have something coming in. We could both loose weight anyway...if you know what I mean...
Laz, you need to hit this virus with every ounce of sexy you’ve got!
Bon Chance dude.
Stop by my old haunt at Gila Bend.
Get a breakfast at the Space Age Lodge.
