Hmmm... Sailors in port. Could they have had close contact with anyone?

I believe the navy will tie a rope around each sailor then drop them over the side of the ship into the sea.
The salty water will cure anything right?

China is just doing this to itself for a big joke.

Covid-19 is just about like the flu, our POTUS said so.

I’m with you. “Shelter in place” is another one that I don’t like.

It’s easy for the military to handle this virus. Regimental orders.

That seems prudent...
Bring Out Your Dead

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.

I like "Bugging In" and I'm actually pretty well prepared to do so.

I called my boss today and told him I was ‘self-quarantining” due to eating Chinese food yesterday.

He said that was fine but he was going to self-quarantine my job in the mean time.

I believe before the 14 days is up they will add another 14 days as there has been news of people getting it again after they were given the Ok that they were cured or didn’t have it anymore etc. You get the idea.
