Health officials in North Carolina reported that a person from Wake County tested positive for the illness after visiting the nursing home. (in Seattle)

It’s more likely they want to cultivate panic and hysteria to crash the economy. It is after all a solid rat county.

If people remain calm it’s not a bad idea. Even two weeks of very low social contact can slow the virus down a lot.

The New Jersey patient reportedly had some type of contact with one of the 11 cases that have been confirmed in New York.

He was unaware he had coronavirus and may have spread it to others in New Jersey unwittingly, according to NBC New York.

The state’s Department of Health are tracing individuals who may have had close contact with the man, officials said.

Another two people have tested positive for coronavirus in New York City, bringing the total number of cases in the state to 13.

Mayor Bill de Blasio confirmed the new cases on Thursday.

Neither is related to the other two people in the city who have been diagnosed, or to the nine others in Westchester who have the disease.

Both of the new cases are in the ICU.

One of them is a woman in her 80s, and the other is a man in his forties. No other information was given.

At this point I’m ready to willingly expose myself to COVID, isolate myself in a remote location and game on.

Might as well spin the wheel and see what happens.

Ballot Lickers...

Is it some sort of good luck for Dems to lick their ballot prior to inserting into the ballot box reader?
