One thing that China is doing right is exploring the use of low cost, high strength Vitamin C. I having been using Vitamin C 3 or 4 times a day, from 3 to 6 grams a day for more than 45 years. At 81 years I am in good health and almost never sick. As reported in the link below, 3 Chinese trials are using Vitamin C in amounts as high as 24 grams, and possibly intravenously. If this proves successful, Big Pharma will not be happy, Vitamin C is inexpensive.

I hear ya. My wife and I decided that it best to go yesterday. We were going to wait today, but something told me not to. Toilet paper was very hard to find but finally one grocery store had some. Bought more than we usually do as far as food. Yesterday one could see that things were disappearing on the shelves but people weren’t in panic mode yet. I can’t imagine what it is right now.
I think you are thinking about the smallpox vaccine. That’s the one that put a small circular scar on the arm.
The Dailymail has been the biggest cheerleader for inciting panic. They should be ashamed.
Drudge, too.
I’m kind of irrationally optimistic about our surviving the coronavirus - no tv at our house for many years, for one thing. I do think this event could turn out to be a good walk-through for an eventual deadly bio-weapon - unfortunately, for both sides - for our country and for its enemies who might be contemplating the best use of one. It’s just a matter of time, whether a release is accidental or deliberate. Because of the coronavirus, we may be more prepared to respond and possibly save lives when that day comes.
Was that the foul tasting stuff back in the 50’s and 60’s that had little crunchy things in it?
Drink your oj and cranberry juice daily.
If neighborhoods are quarantined are trucks still allowed in?
Obama would have had to have 90 days, or up to 6 months before deciding what to do. And he would have only heard about the virus on the news.
Mothers in Kansas and she said their stores are normal. Im in Phoenix area and its insane.
Western Washington normal at Costco and Fred Meyer. Although the curbside service at Fred was quite busy yesterday.
Speak for yourself, and get out of my foxhole!
I just got back from my little hometown gro and it’s the busiest I’ve ever seen it.
I believe Vicks Formula 44 had licorice root in it, and codeine to suppress cough, and yes, it did burn going down
I was expecting doom and gloom, but it’s very uplifting.
Aint Captain Trips yet whatever the Voluntary Human Extinction crowd wants.
I wasnt around for the Cuban missile crisis, but I think the panic and anxiety levels are right up there with it.
MUCH, MUCH worse than I’ve seen this time - people were wandering around aimlessly sobbing hysterically.
I remember our principal sending us home, telling us we only had a half an hour to live. He was actually crying over the intercom.
We’re going to have to plan for these things as we do for hurricanes.
It’s just going to be a fact of life in our highly mobile world.
Every ten years or so these things are going to come up. We need to be prepared for the next one, because it’s going to happen again.
We should have learned from 2009.
Sorry, I can’t trust a paper from the UK, the country that took years to break from the EU, even after everyone in the country had voted for it.
LOL, it’s a Liberal UK rag and you just take it in and swallow it whole.
You are a pearl clutcher.
Never let a crisis go to waste!
