Every country that has it is taking unprecedented actions against it.

But, Everything's Alright

Ironic, since Daily Mail has been the most alarmist of all the media. I guess they are proud of themselves.

and after 8 days no symptoms.

Well you only have 6 more days to go. Lol Or have they now changed the incubation period from 14 days to 28?

Ahhhhhhh......but what if it was hermetically sealed?

Here again, I recommend the Democrat Party headquarters because they suck.

Then narrow down by dates, ports of departure, length of cruise, then sort by price by clicking on price header.

Well yes, that is so it doesn’t turn into a big deal

doing nothing is just as bad as shouting white house the world is going to end and we are all going to die

You will get the same result

Actually all of these idiots lining up in lines to get 3 months of toilet paper, masks, and hand sanitizer they don’t need is more likely to spread the virus then if they all stayed home watching TV or posting on Facebook of how much they hate the orange man.

The World Health Association has determined that dogs cannot spread coronavirus.

That's BS. I've seen at least two confirmations of K9s getting it too. :(

“I booked a cruise on Carnival sailing on Feb 24th. Now 8 days after disembarking the ship, still no symptoms.”

A sample size of 1.

Sample size of 2 actually, and on any given day there are hundreds of cruises going out, and so far how many are in the news? Diamond princess and Grand Princess and one or 2 more.
Always check the odds before freaking out.

Don’t assume that everyone who doesn’t see it your way is “freaking out”. There are enough cruise ship incidents to make me disinclined to test the odds.

And that is why there are limited supplies for everyone else. Stupid fools.

You are absolutely and categorically entitled to draw your own conclusions. But allow others to draw their own conclusions based on actual statistics.

”I don’t understand the obsession with paper products. WTF?”

Surely it doesn’t all ship from China?

I suppose everyone is taking China’s extreme level of air pollution into account. Maybe just in high urban areas, but the respiratory systems of the Chinese are most likely already weak due to struggling to breathe normally on a daily basis.

Every time a hurricane is in the news, that is when I notice a run on things like water bottles and TP here on Florida coast.
Right now the stores look normal in spite of the covid-19 news.

I’m not sure what to think about the CV.
80’% of my thinking says it is the MSM ONCE AGAIN fear mongering, getting everyone all jacked up!
Y2K, Zica virus, Avian flu, MERS, SARS, BP oil spill, etc.

Then there is the little voice coming from the 20% dark corner of my brain that asks “Who is lying? The Chicoms, downplaying the virus, or the MSM, over blowing the seriousness of it?” Because SOMEBODY is definitely lying about it.

My gut tells me the virus will simply vanish the after the election.
