Just imagine trying to tell your kids they can’t go anywhere either. For 3 weeks. Seriously, all those kids wanting to see their friends, hangout somewhere etc.

They'll survive.

I bet five shekels that they will be sent into Israel as biological weapons.

The use of quarantine to stop a pandemic within the United States has been war-gamed a number of times and it has never worked.

Listen, I know all about the Chicoms and that they lie all the time and all that. It will be very sad if it turns out they are basically through the worst of it and it f***s us and Western Europe up for months and months.

I was responding to the inference that kids will essentially go stir crazy.

Many of these kids are so into gaming that they will be playing games with friends and Skyping friends. It’s sad but in this instance they may fare better than you’d think.

There is some guy on youtube that has been following the virus. He had some charts on vehicle traffic in China and some other actual data. The traffic for all of China is still about half of normal - as it has been since the start of this thing. A little uptick in the past data-point (daily?) - but it wasn’t much.

His point was that he trusts the data more than he trusts their words.

It will be interesting if NASA puts out their pollution level images in a week or so to see if any factories have started up again.

So, I’ve seen a few interviews with people that had mild cases. Have we heard anything from people who had been hospitalized and recovered yet?

The kids will just get on their smart phones and tablets and have a grand ol’ time.

Heck, trying to get them to NOT do that is a huge problem, these days.

Yes President Trump is most likely correct that 3.4 is wrong. The WHO is in Bed with the CCP all this time. I think it higher then the flu 0.1 percent. I think it is 0.7, 7X worse then the flu.

The Spanish Flu was 2 percent but we did not the knowledge we have now. We now know how the COVID-19 spreads we can help lower this number with prevented items.

And they will be worried about you coming into their home. Gonna have to learn about biohazard gear, decontamination and prevention. And/Or find a way to get it done with less exposure.

See, that's the problem. There's no possible way I can do my job in some civilian version pf MOPP gear. Not to mention that it'd be pretty danged expensive for my boss to buy that kind of equipment.

We don't do business in King County. I am waiting to see if things get wacko in Pierce County, where I live and work.

Kids aren't kids of yesteryear. They basically don't leave the house anymore as it is. Keep the wifi going and they'll be fine.

Half of 'em, "see" their friends on XBox anymore anyway.

I have been watching a Chinese Tom-Tom traffic congestion map that someone posted several weeks ago. At one point it was running 80+% below normal and has over time began to trend up to about minus 40%.
