Yeah, Ty Cobb (Detroit guy here)
I coached against some GREAT baseball teams from Cobb county Georgia in the 14 years i coached youth baseball in Waterford/Pontiac area of Michigan.
Never been there. I should go some day.
I still need to do a road trip to go see those darn things. It’s been more than 15 years since I first read about them.
Wanna bet these tech billionaires are shorting their portfolios?
When I want understand health issues, I always get advice from billionaires, Lawyers and Media Reporters.
NOT
I’m worried more about your Windows operating system getting a deadly virus.
.....
Exactly. If humans were like Windows, we all would be dead weeks ago.
Good choice...

“Ping me back in two weeks and you’ll see the US mortality numbers on par with Italy and China.”
Two weeks ago I was told that this was going to be the case now.
“Fingers crosses”, amirite?
True, if you are counting every sick Italian as a survivor.
Italy has 21 deaths and 888 sick 2.4% IF you believe everyone who is merely sick recovers.
Italy has 21 dead and 46 recovered. That's 67 who have run the full course of the disease. 21 of those did it by dying. 21/67 times 100 is 31%!
Not to panic, when more data comes in that percentage has always dropped. So far.
Yup. And really so tiresome.
As a class of 98’er, I can tell you we’ve been down this hyped-road several times in the past.
Anthrax, SARS, MERS, Ebola—we’re all gonna die!!!
Worse still, it is often (not saying here) the SAME FReepers now who freaked out or spread doom and gloom years ago for EACH of these so called end of the world events.
ABC news. ..giddy that the markets tanked. They also seem pleased that “new virus cases “ have come out since Trumps speech. I just want to pummel these assWipes.
If anyone knows nothing about spreading viruses, it’s Bill Gates of MS Windows fame.
We will NEVER know the real mortality rate! Countless people "get a bug" and just recover at home without seeing a doctor (much less being tested for COVID-19!)... However..., obviously the SKY IS FALLING and it is doomsday???
And Windows 10 may be the OS we’ve been waiting for!
People like Gates and Buffet and Bezos have access to the best advisors in the world. That’s why they can speak authoritatively.
That’s higher than the 1918 flu.
It won’t be the end of the world but its nothing to sluff off either. Like so many on FR do.
Coronaviruses are a group of common viruses. They are named for the crown-like spikes on the surface of the virus. Some coronaviruses only affect animals, but others can also affect humans. Most people get infected with human coronaviruses at some time in their life. They usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory infections, like the common cold. But they can also cause more severe illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia.Pretty much everyone reading this has been infected with a Corona virus at least once in their life.There are several different types of human coronaviruses, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronaviruses.
Y2k, the new ice age, the population bomb and mass starvation, peak oil, the ozone hole over the arctic and CFCs, Global warming that changed into climate change, the polar bears, depleted fish stocks, the Pacific clogged with plastic,

SARS, Ebola, swine flu, bird flu, mad cow disease, sterile farm ground, water polluted from pesticides, frogs dying off, bees dying off no pollination,
you see people......you’ve got the mega billionaires in on this.....and this guy reportedly doesn’t even vaccinate his own kids....
It won’t be the end of the world but its nothing to sluff off either. Like so many on FR do

Well I guess I should stop licking public bathroom door handles until this passes?
