I dont like Corna beer so I;m safe.
The news article I read was not bringing any hope. The country of origin has requested aid for supplies and they are building a new hospital in 10 days for quarintine of sick patients. Hospitals are already full and turning people away.
A U.S. citizen was traveling and caught the virus.
Without being flip, at this moment in time, within the U.S.A., more danger of a computer virus, imo.
Obviously, all of should have had our vaccinations by now, but still not too late to do so.
And, at the first sign of flu, (or any other illness) get screened and treated appropriately!
Stay safe out there and Happy Hobbying!
41 deaths worldwide from corona virus so far?
500,000+ deaths from the common flu worldwide every year
couldn't they of named it something else? Corona was the greatest thing back in the 80's especially when some of the clubs did the $1 beer nights. Now they have to go pick on it. Couldn't they of called it the Pabstvirus? or ZIMAvirus?
So now what are your thoughts about the virus and the spread of it?
Seems like a whole lot has changed in a month.
well, i trust the president after he convincingly said yesterday that there is a low chance i'm gonna die from it. :^}
seriously, it is spreading but i dont think millions are going die from it.
its effects on commerce and the financial markets will probably be greater than expected.
now would be a good time to buy stocks/bonds/funds for less than they were last week.
I'm concerned about our economy and people panicking.... thus leading to cancelled appointments and food gone at grocery stores, etc.
I have family members that are servers.... worried about that industry.
Most of my SDs and clients travel a TON, so that's a concern. I have 2 jobs..... that's a concern cause both jobs deal with people who travel for work.
Things are changing quickly!
Yes, those providers that do BBFS with those guys who frequent the AMPS to do BBFS with those ladies and write their creampie reviews should be doubly worried, and any guys who see such providers that do that should nix them and move on to a safer provider.
Unless a vaccine comes out, we all gonna get it. About as bad as the flu, unless you are old. Death rate higher for old people. People panicking will probably worse. Hope there isnt a run food, etc when it arrives.

My two cents
The planet is made up of millions of things that want to kill humans everyday. Stroke, Heart Attack, Accidents, Viruses, Cancers, Spiders, Snakes, Alligators, Drunk Drivers, etc. One cannot live life being afraid to die, that is simply not living. We are all going to die someday, make the best of life now while you still can. My Dad died in his sixties, his dad died in his thirty's. If I make it to retirement Ill be shocked, and probably die from it too. Ill see y'all again before I die.
SARS was going to be the next pandemic until warmed weather arrived and killed off or contained the virus.
I think if it happened in the US it might be harder to contain than in China.
This is less lethal than SARS.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this were biological warfare or a for profit outbreak caused by some drug companies.
It is now in Texas: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/poli..._source=pushly
now in Dallas: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/publ..._source=pushly
Wile E Coyote, no confirmed cases in Dallas. The article you posted even states the guy likely was just trying to stay out of jail by claiming he is sick and showed no symptoms or signs of being sick. I know the Corona virus is potentially scary, but lets be accurate with our information, as best we can anyway.

I feel so bad for people that are incarcerated as well! They don’t stand a medical chance in those hell holes
I went to costco today to pick up a few things. they were out of water and toilet paper. its like WW3
Nope, can't say I'm terribly concerned. Fear mongering from the media, while it has killed(the tiniest fraction of a fraction of humans on earth) and is spreading. It does not pose a serious threat to the United States.
The concern is panic and disruption to supply chain.
HERE is an interesting article that breaks down the fatality rate based on age, gender, and pre-existing medical conditions. It looks like it is really deadly for the elderly and no severe impact on the young.
First reported case in the Houston area: https://www.click2houston.com/news/l...t-bend-county/
I don't know for a fact, but just reporting the report, don't shoot the messenger.
I heard this morning, that current known cases worldwide has dropped from 59,000 to 39,000.. so while cases are creeping higher in the US, it is mostly due to new testing kits available to reveal infection. I suspect we have several more months of concern and worry, by August it should subside.. but travel and other economic areas will have taken a big hit.

That's a live thread on all the updates around the world
take this threat seriously people. this is gonna be life at least for the remainder of 2020. 100,000+ americans will die when this is all said and done
They show dogs are testing positive for corona virus which may complicate things even more if they can spread it too
Crazy how this thread was asked at the end of January and look at how bad it got now.
Dallas order shelter in place to make our lives more boring.
This'll stop the panic and ease everyoness minds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET6PBBKXHg4
All business have been shut down as well
Restaurant s . Bars. Theater s. Fast food and strip clubs are close as of now.
SMDH at folks's selfishness. The store didn't have limit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTI9JtJWJ_M
I went to store today and other than chicken everything was available. The store put a limit on essential items like eggs, tp, etc.
One thing I have noticed...Steaks are always available. Yum. And everybody must hate ham because those are abundant...lol
Who can afford steaks with so many out of work? Ham? For sandwiches?
