virus experts today and yesterday on stern said it’s a two day thing for healthy people and everyone needs to chill and wash hands.

posted that at the beginning...it’s on clorox wipes as well.
this is something that’s been around forever, it’s just named specifically now, per the virus peeps.
if anyone has sirius/xm, go to the howard stern show and find his experts calling in.
Yeah but it's like that with anything, especially the flu. Old people with cancer/heart disease etc. die from flu related stuff all the time but they don't say the flu got them, it was their disease and their weakened immune system from it. In reality, the flu mortality rate for people without preexisting conditions is like .2%. So Corona being 1% is still 5x the flu but still only likely to really impact you if you have other shit going on.
P.S. My buddy works for Biogen up in your area, 3 of his coworkers got diagnosed with Corona yesterday and he said the place is a mad house. Shut the whole thing down and self quarantines happening.
This is the same shit, albeit on a larger scale, as a hurricane predicted to hit the East Coast in 3 days.
I keep hearing about people stockpiling toilet paper and water.
This is interesting to watch unfold.

Coworker just told me Costco in Charlotte is out of toilet paper. This is almost as dumb as when they forecast a half inch of snow in the area. Why do people always overreact?
The toilet paper Illuminati has conspired to create this man made disease so they could create increased demand. This is a fact. Don't believe what you've read from these so called medical "professionals." They are just shills for the toilet paper industry.Toilet paper stops Coronavirus? Are people saying that?
It can spread through fecal matter, so I'm just skipping toilet paper entirely.
Human nature is fascinating, isn't it? Logic and reason get rapidly tossed aside, and the reptilian brain steps in like Al Haig saying "I'm in charge here."
Everyone should plan on some inconveniences and disruption to their daily lives soon. Conferences are being cancelled, Amtrak has suspended some services, etc. It's probably only a matter of time before schools are closed and employers tell us all to work from home.
Every state now has public health laboratories set up to test for the virus except West Virginia and Maine, who are in the process of doing so, according to the CDC. Expect the number of reported cases and deaths to spike in the coming weeks, and of course the public panic that will ensue.

I'm in disney on the 20th. Maybe the lines will be shorter
I went right before a hurricane one time and it was practically empty. Road space mountain three times in a row and was in line a total of about 15 minutes.
Me and my wife are heading to Portugal and Morocco in about a week.
Don’t know if that is the right thing to do but I’m on old man and there is a lot of this world I’ve not seen yet.

They're buying-up the Clorox wet-wipes, too.
My mom works p/t at Lowe's so she can have some time away from my retired stepfather... she said painters and people who NEED the masks for their work are stuck! Same for me with trying to get the disposable rubber gloves.
My brother, just northwest of Minneapolis just saw where the first MN case was reported about 15 miles away in Ramsey.
Get in the habit of washing your hands.

We have bidet attachments on our toilets. So yes I’m way ahead of the curve
btw the best $30 ever spent. Not only sanitary but nothing wakes you up like ice cold water jetted up your arse at 6:30am

we home Schooled for a while and took vacation at Disney/universal two weeks after public school started back. Had the run of the places. You could Literally get off a ride and run back to the front and get right back on.
I’m not worried it will harm me. I am worried I might spread it to someone vulnerable though.
We are thinking about canceling. Will have to wait and see how this virus thing plays out.
And learn how to wash your hands properly. Soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds (you should be able to sing the Happy Birthday song twice). Also, once you've washed your hands, don't use them to turn off the same faucet you (and everybody else) just touched with your unwashed hands. Use a paper towel.
I'm not a germophobe. On the other hand, people are friggin disgusting. I never touch anything in a public bathroom with my hands. I use my foot or elbow to flush toilets, turn the water off/on, etc. Then I use a paper towel to turn off the water and open the door. If they only have hand driers, I improvise with a sleeve or something else.
Yeah, I told my mom it was only killing people over 70 and she was like, "Um, hello?!" LOL. She didn't let me finish. Most of the people who are dying are not only older but also have underlying medical conditions like we've already talked about here.
Still wanna make that bet?
A lot has changed since that day.
If you were predicting the Coronavirus was coming then shit man, what's the lotto tonight?
I think I said, and if I didn't I should have, barring some natural/biological disaster. Different ballgame when we have countries quarantining 16 million people.
