This coronavirus thing might get serious. Do y’all have the ability to retreat and self-quarantine without human contact except for your family for a period of a month? Most Americans don’t even have food for a month in their house. This could be a real problem from the Deep Blue cities.

At this point even if possible what do you think that would accomplish? All those people have been in contact with thousands of others. The horse is out of the barn and we are along for the ride at this point

The news of tens of thousands of actual cases, and who knows how many deaths, are being suppressed by Communist China and, I suspect, our own CDC. We will know there’s a pandemic in America only when people are dropping dead on the sidewalks.

This might sound harsh, but everyone on the plane should be isolated (apart) and kept under quarantine until it is known what the situation is.

If there was no major pandemic brewing on multiple continents, then yes, it would sound harsh. Given the circumstances, not so much.

The Chinese brew their own beer: Beijing 啤酒 Píjiǔ

It sounds like Beijing PEE-JEW.

It's not bad. It beats drinking their water. When we went there they had some HORRIBLE orange soda. Between the water and that dreadful orange soda...I drank the beer.

And I don't like beer.

My brother works for the CDC. I don’t want to bug him right now, but he is unusually silent. Hearing and watching the news reports I see trickling out all over the world. I see a story starting to snow ball. This is more serious than we think, I think..I hope not, but new cases are coming out by the hour now. Love your family, be right with your God, and wash your hands.

I have LONG since stopped believing whatever the Chinese government puts out in news. They have always lied. They lie now. They will always lie.

Propaganda is what they put out as news. Always have; always will.

I don't know if you remember China's "promise" to have a written script. Well, they haven't done it yet and continue to hold on to their pictographs. Nothing will change them.
