Nah. Most of us just can't think of any thing else to say, at least I can't.

Don't know about you, but I feel like most of what there is to say right now has already been said. Sorta numb.

We seem to be entering a new phase. The biggest news right now is China. We all know it's out of control in China, but no one knows what's really going on there. That makes it hard to talk about.

You need to understand, there are people on this site and elsewhere that believe that those that are discussing this, or posting articles on this, are somehow not good Republican's due to the fact that it's hurting the economy and tourism is particular. There are a few that have even made jokes and posted cute graphics to attempt to minimize this nasty disease, and portray those that discuss this as scare mongers and people who are somehow hysterical etc.

Some reports actually have the number of deaths at over 500 with many thousands infected or possibly infected.

*Never* trust anyone who would make a joke about something like this as a means to isolate or minimize economic losses or to shield their particular political party..
