OK Get you tinfoil hat out. I wasnt even going to repeat this but...
I was at my local bank last Thursday and overheard 2 men talking about there friends that were in Las Vegas. They were so sick they could not get home and was asking this friend to come and get them. He went on to say it wouldnt matter if he went to get them they are in quarntin anyway and would not let them leave there room.
I have looked but did not find it reported anywhere so put it in the back of my mind. Now I wish I had talked to them and asked what,where,when and why.(very small town)
I have followed this thread from day one. Could this be the threat that we would not know till it was to late??????
