Some folks make a living off of generating panic.
I’m not worried about the virus itself. I’m a little concerned about how the world’s reaction will impact the global economy.
Just a little. My place is a perfect SHTF location. :D
Yeah, someone who we all should listen to.
It’s not a matter of panic, in terms of deaths.
If I may be Machiavellian, it is a matter of the supply chain disruptions to the world economy.
i’ve been around the world seven times, spent 37 months on the (cough) asian continent (sniff) have met hundreds of (coughcough) thousands (wheez) of (cough)(sniff) people.
Control the things you can control, accept the things you can’t control.
Stocking up on supplies is never a mistake.
Running around in a state of panic is always a mistake.
Pretty level-headed piece.
Well written.
Is the John Hopkins web page:
Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE
still working for others? The cases/recovered/other graph is the only thing that works for me this morning.
I don’t think most people are panicking in the US ... yet; but some of us are preparing ...
Panic is not the proper response to any problem.
Reasonable precautions are definitely in order and the threshold of ‘reasonable’ has been extended by the reality of this virus.
Can't get the song out of my head since reading this.
I had to tell a fella to stay calm and stay alive. However, it was a whole different subject. He backed up and got in his van and left. That’s why he’s prolly still alive today.
Sorry, I chose to panic. So far no regrets.
Caution, reading this article can cause the virus infection-
I’m fine personally.
Either be a rock for weaker people, or you are just a crass SOB screaming fire in a theater.
Dont care if that offends a group on FR. My grandfather said that the man in the room stands straight, walks calm, smiles and directs.
This is the biggest hoax scam on the face of this earth..sorry folks I just can’t drink the kool-Aid ..too many suspicious acts coming from China! To sacrifice a few hundred thousand people is a drop in the bucket for China’s 4 billion people! Something just doesn’t seem right! It just stinks to high heaven it really really does! The biggest red flag that pops up in the air is why are they not letting any American CDC people in the country to help them? Folks SOMETHING STINKS!! This is intentional to totally destroy our economy and hurt Trump in the coming election! Also,all of sudden Italy is claiming the coronavirus has infected a few folks with 3 deaths already reported BUT at the same time Italy just announced some type of deal with China...and don’t forget that Iran too has claimed the coronavirus has made shore....funny, can you say payback for the murder of somalimi(sp?). China and Iran are good friends!! Just waiting on Russia to announce some death too..or maybe they already did and I missed it.
Don't panic.Bring Out Your DeadPlan. Prepare. Persevere.
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.
So far the false positive rate is 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 life, it's worth it.
A caller to Rush stated that you do not hear anything on the Hong Kong protests. This has put protest to rest.
