It aint the zombie appoclypse
It is serious in particular the elderly and though I'm active and don't want to admit it i am one of those
The president despite expected criticisms is on this. The fact of the virus is being politicized by both sides dems more but still by both sides. That frieds is unacceptable we need to vote those ass hats out both sides but that is really a circular discussion and not the point of this thread.
One thing is becoming obvious. There are industries sent to china for$$$$ that we need to repatriot ie pharmaceuticals in particular antibiotics. There are already threats from them to withhold those things. We have the capacity it will take some time but its very clear we need to become self sufficient again.
Ive always been a believer that while we beat the crap out of each other in this country you mess with us or our freedoms and you wake up the big dog on the block. Its time to give a big FU to China and Russia for that matter and impose this country’s economic machine on them. No negotiation euro union will go along with us because at the core they fear russia and china. FaIr trade and put our economic engine to work

Its here it's not going anywhere n you CANNOT contain it its literally twice as infectious as the flu. Going in a shell does nothing. Guess what America you probably going to get it.
Now we cancel Europe travel like dummies. Let's bitch about the market tanking but let's cancel all sports and flights.
Business as usual needs to be mantra.

Now we cancel Europe travel like dummies. Let's bitch about the market tanking but let's cancel all sports and flights. Business as usual needs to be mantra. No cdc said we needed to do the europe ban ststs showed that were the vast majority of the outside infections now come from europe. It will spread here we just need to be smart about our individual activities cities are more prone well because they are cities. I ain't bitching about the market even though im very near retirement and some of my planning is there personally i think there is profit taking going on in strategic businesses thats the up and down. Hell we had eight or ten n houston and the mayor shut down the rodeo big big deal and imo not needed. You knew nba would as the ncaa being pc whole thing pisses me off being politicized. Just firkin be smart people. Life is good and will continue until herpes simplex 99 pops up. Use this as reasons to repatriate business from china and don't threaten to tax the hell out of em. And wash your damn hands you need to keep the widow thumb and rosy palm clean Generally though streeter i agree about bidness as usual oh and get a flu shot you more likely to get that. Be smart but live your life |

Be smart but live your life Honestly thinking there's a decent chance I got it. Been working out of Merch Mart for months now. ..... one of biggest buildings in chicago n most visited internationally. Since sat have had cold flu symtoms and now got pretty decent case of bronchitis. I'm at home an haven't left since. If I find one of those drove thru test places I might do that but f%@! the ERs n ICs are packed so f%@! that, my general doc is at Northwestern Hosp which is a mad house right now so f%@! that too. I got over the cold flu symtoms basically just a bad cough an wheezing right now ...... but I feel okay if that makes sense. I have mild Asthma so it usually goes into my chest anyway when I get cold n flu. Who knows |

Who knows You will get well Streeter but Call your Doc Chicago is one of those places where you might be able to get tested at home. I doubt you have it you gotta be in reasonably close contract. you should have your kids and GF checked too. Being in the same industry as you we are exposed more then most. I imagine its just flu (bad enough or bronchitis) but take care of yourself, if sick don't go to work. They make it look so easy to get tested but its not especially in a big city, hell a person could get sick waiting to get tested. |

That aside if frikkin' Hanks was sick before the trip and the virus was know, WTF he go. Do think they need to get the test kit thing resolved shouldn't be that difficult. I may be taking it wrong but I honestly think Trumpster is doing all he can but I do think this caught CDC by the shorthairs. Test kits are important so you are right peeps need to get on the damn stick and get them out. Numbers I'd like to see posted daily for the US No. of Deaths Total no. of cases diagnosed Total no. of diagnosed cases released to the world cause they are over it The third and the second would give us an idea of the true progress of the disease. Naw, they wont do that too easy to figure where we really are. |

Wuhan virus started in China and has spread. Sadly and predicted, it is used for political narrative in the US. We either get well from this bio weapon or we die.
Most will live.
If you get sick, hang out at home for a few weeks. Life as we know it will likely change for the next 1-18 months.
Eliminate fear from your emotional bank. If you are on the side of God, there is no fear.
I'm good Im older (64) and there is ABSOLUTELY NO FEAR!

I don't know what to think about the virus. I don't trust anything the Chinese gov (or any gov including ours) says about it. It may be mild or it may be as Sir Charles would say, "turrible!"
My life is changing little at this point. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I'll take what precautions I can reasonably take and see what happens.

My life is changing little at this point. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. I'll take what precautions I can reasonably take and see what happens. this isn't Captain Trips -- right now its around 3 to 4 % MR in US .....which is very very high but with the extremely limited testing done is likely the result of the higher than normal MR for this. Im expecting once Tests are finally ready our numbers will more resemble South Korea and Germany which is less than 1% combined MR. at least thats what is hoped |

She's not saying it's that either. Good, bad, or in between, I don't trust media or gov or gov agencies to tell me the truth. I expect them to tell me what they want me to know. What they say may be the truth and it may not. With the advent of photoshop, I'm not even sure I can believe my own eyes anymore.  |
