I have yet to see one person with a mask on and I shop every day.  The store manager seen me wiping the shopping cart yesterday and said lot of people doing that now.  I said I have been doing this before this virus was talked about.  Just makes sense.  I told him the media is making people get alarmed over this.  Nobody is  ever alarmed about the flu that happens every year.  I seen some democrat yesterday say that Trump should not have anymore rally's  :rotflmao:. Doesn't apply to gaff artist Biden or crazy Bernie though.  I say just live your life like you always have, don't panic, this virus will go away.  I do believe in the wipping your hands deal though.  good luck.

The news is just making things worse. Local news was talking about "Blizzard shopping" here, and shelves being totally empty (SOME stores finally put limits on stuff) then they go right into a dialogue about how it's best if you have a months supply of everything built up, and that some places say it should be three months.  :doah:
I haven't stocked up on anything, freezer and cupboards are full, I'm sure I'll be able to find food. I can eat skwirrels and drink tap water if need be.  ;)

The Mayo called the warden to see if she wanted to reschedule her knee replacement  because of the virus. Jeez! We are keeping things the same.

O wow....that's unheard of, Art! I'm going to lunch with Mayo's head of logistics, ECS and HICS Thursday, should be an interesting lunch. He's already told me a lot of the unreal stuff they've done and put in place...... :shocked:  They're ready for it.

I see they're talking here about closing some grade schools. Issue seems to be the free breakfasts they serve to some, as then those kids might not have anything to eat.
Things always seems to hit those who can afford it least....

From the CDC regarding wearing masks....

should folks stock pile masks? NO

If you have masks should you wear them when you go out "NO"

Even if you have corvid19 in your community no need to wear any type of mask surical,N95'S RESPIRATOR MASkS...NONE...THIS FROM Dr Eli PERENCEVICH md,professor of medicine and epidemiology at the univ of iowa

He states no evidence wearing masks on healthy people will protect them plus folks wear masks incorrectly and are always adjusting masks,touching they're face,not good

Why is nothing postponed because of the flu? From what I have heard and read the flu is just as deadly the the corona virus. Is it just because this is new?

I have read that we do have some immunities from certain flues and of course we have flu shots that help.  There are none of those immunities in us yet from the Corona virus.

Best evidence so far is corona virus is a lot deadlier than the flu, but it is hard to get a handle on either since a lot of people who get sick of either, but especially corona virus, haven't gotten tested.

Well from what I read from the CDC they did a comparison flu vs corvid19,now that corvid19 is dug in our country

common flu 1% per 1000 folks will die from it,corvid 19 3.5% per 1000,so the hype about this being just the flu is in accurate ...

"Trouble Every Day"

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
...
And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Well, you can cool it,
You can heat it...
'Cause, baby, I don't need it...
Take your TV tube and eat it
'N all that phony stuff on sports
'N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head begin to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsman say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so

And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell,
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
...

Or, it's scaring the crap outta them.... :rotflmao: Hey! We need some humor!

From Mayo conference just now on the person with the Corona: 50's male, had traveled outside the US to area that has virus. Came to Mayo and tested positive when he got symptoms. Mayo sent him home, he's doing fine and recovering nicely...................they don't think there's any transmitting here in CAWchester.


I wonder if they can make a vaccine from him?

Just watched Trump's sec of defense state that it's China's fault for the virus, and the loss of lives and billions of dollars. Said if they would have reported it right away to WHO, etc, instead of thru whistleblowers  who were trying to be stopped, they could have contained it...... :shocked:

It's amazing how many people coming thru the office here think that getting a flu shot protects them against stomach flu.  :rolleyes:
