If you’re expecting concerns, expect an empty thread.
We are gonna die
Just not today

Maybe be confined to one thread...
The “Daily Quarantine” thread...
Like those other “Q” people do...
Not for me. I’m not interested in pouring over 5000 posts when most of the posts are not informational.
Each article should have its own thread.
I’ll start.
I’m concerned about the Coronavirus because my dog might catch it.
I’m also concerned because so many people are concerned.
I’m concerned that no one under 15 has caught it.
I’m concerned that evidently, all the Hong Kong protesters caught it as they are now gone.
Maybe you are just panicking and should just ignore the conversations that the rest of us might have? Take a deep breath, relax, tune it out.
The only serious concern I see out of this is that people begin to realize how many of their drugs prescribed...are made in China, and aren’t being delivered to US ports. It’ll be that way with blood-pressure medication, pain-killers, and cancer-treatment drugs.
I also expect the Trump to react to this, and various tax-incentives are done by the House/Senate....to bring production back to US shores.
My wish is that all the concern trolls and professional fearmongers(looking at you media) take a hike.
I’m concerned that there are to many concerned people i n this world
I’m concerned that so many of the concerned people on Free Republic have nothing on their personal page.
How can I be concerned about them if I don’t know anything about them?
In at #8?
I'm just glad I'm not working at Home Depot, telling all the idiots we're all out of masks.
I do not allow MSM hysteria into my home and have no cable TV at all. So that's one plus in my factor. Instead, I read a lot of good books and listen to a lot of good music.
I eat nothing but wholesome foods and exercise daily. So I have that in my favor.
I maintain a positive attitude and savor every day of my life, so I have that in my favor as well.
Are products being shipped from China to the U.S. safe? How do we know when the air in the package, once unsealed, does not contain the virus? How do we know the air in tires being shipped on new cars do not contain the Corona cootie? When someone sneezes like a horse in Walmart, should we run the other way or just walk quickly out of the store to not cause a panic stampede? How do we know the Chinese military are not intentionally putting the corona cootie into products being exported to the U.S., it with the motive being it will damage Trumps reelection chances?
Got an alert from my church last night warning that services might be suspended.
Front page of paper is about banks and businesses planning to shut down if coronavirus starts.
Stores are empty.
No, I’m not worried.
This epidemic reminds me more and more of a story I did about the West Nile virus outbreak around 2003.
Normally, I didn’t cover health issues for our newspaper. But I wound up interviewing our local health director, who told me that — media scare stories to the contrary — only a small percentage of those infected would become seriously ill.
Of course, the big difference here is that West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes rather than person-to-person contact.
But most people infected would be either asymptomatic or experience the usual “flu-like symptoms” for maybe three days, then recover completely.
The point here, according to the health director, was that most people who caught West Nile virus wouldn’t even know exactly what they had. They would just feel lousy for a few days and then be fine again.
Despite the different means of transmission, I have to wonder if something similar isn’t happening with this coronavirus — many people are getting infected but only a tiny percentage become seriously ill. And those unfortunates are mainly the frail elderly and those with compromised immune systems.
I see no evidence that this epidemic resembles the 1918 Spanish influenza, which attacked the young and healthy in a truly bizarre and often fatal manner.
