Flus never make it to summer, so you’ll be okay. The virus dies in about 2 seconds with exposure to sunlight, and apparently prefers cooler temperatures. That’s why flus die as spring comes on and then sometimes come back in the fall. Hence, the “flu season.”

This is SARS-COVI-2...Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus - 2....it's not an influenza virus. It's more akin to an airborne pneumonia virus. And how it thrives in warm weather is largely unknown...it seems to be spreading in some warm places right now such including Singapore.

It fixed our first case in Washington state right up.

One day he’s got severe bilobal pnuemonia and is on O2, the next day pneumonia is gone and he’s breathing on his own. magic.

I agree, D3 helps, not for the “warmth” but immune-boosting properties

I was going to go up to the fourth floor and take a nap in one of the ICU beds. There are so many open.

I think the hospital should get in on this Virus scam. It’s always so empty this time of the year.

The flu is also a virus. But your point still appears to be fair.

The big question is how much of the truth he has been told.

Ok, sorry, this is not influenza, this is a coronavirus. Better? This person posts the same thing on every new live thread. It gets old.

I picked a few items up today myself. Had Christmas gift cards to use. Finally why not for prepping.

No panic, but noticed a lot of people were shopping for similar items. Can goods, toilet paper, pet foods...many of those items on the JIT shipping programs.

Did notice when a young lady coughed...everyone stared at her. The fear is there...one wrong word from the government and we will see panic.

Heard Beck today talking about how bad the disruption to our lives is going to be as things from China begin to run out or low. He was really doom/gloom today and well just don’t think it will be all that bad.

We will kill ourselves with fear first.

You may want to start breaking those Xanax in half...Xanax is made in China. (I take it too)

You know...that would be relevant if this was the flu. Because it’s living just fine in Singapore, Egypt, Iran, and those other hot, sticky places.

But that’s good to know about the flu.

Oh..and this stuff has lived on normal indoor surfaces for up to nine, count’em nine days.

But...that’s crazy panic talk. So I will say no more.

Sounds good, find one of those ones with negative pressure and ECMO while you’re at it.

Thanks! I’ve heard of that but hadn’t seen it referred to a Gilead compound. Why India? Is the where it’s manufactured?

Actually, Singapore has been doing better than a lot of the colder countries, so we don’t know yet what warm weather will do. Qom, Iran where it seems to be centered is not particularly warm right now. Egypt - does it have many cases?

Not saying it is going to die off with warm weather, but we can still hope.

If you go ahead and get the JIT items today, the store will have time to restock before the panic hits. More people will be able to stock up.

We started stocking up 2 weeks ago. We went back this past weekend and shelves where I had taken 2 items and left 3 were full again.
