Spread the word here, so true

Be smart and live your life. If I didn't know better I would think this was media hype and left wing trying to discredit Trump ::)

Just do a little looking on your own, not following anyone else's suggestions. Compare the numbers now with Asian and Swine flu numbers and you can make up your own mind. Sure it is serious but someone has pushed the panic button here, why? Who stands to benefit from a health panic, an economic disaster, a stock market crash, and the total undoing of the gains made in the last 3 years? Probably not working, tax paying, law abiding US citizens.

Guess i'm thinking as you fellas are. Scare and panic seem to be the norm. I know this is serious, but common sense and chill. I would like to see acctual figures on just who died (ages) and how many of those were already sick with underlying conditions. But that would be reasonable information, we can't have that.😡
No live sports, swapmeets, carshows, and now.... "Please cease public worship services". All the larger towns churches around here are closed! It started scrolling across the tv screen lastnight. Had to go to the weather channel to see if i missed a bad ice/snow storm.
Me, taking the same caution i take every flu season. Just because you go to the basement doesn't mean that Twister ain't gonna suck you out anyway.

Crazy...won't be long before they start selling toilet paper by the foot!

Not sure how accurate this is but maybe it will help. .....Everyone be Safe
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS
Last evening dining out with friends, one of their uncles, who's graduated with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent him the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasise enough - drink plenty of water!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.
SPREAD THE WORD - IF YOU CAN'T SHARE THE POST PLEASE CUT AND PASTE..

Thanks Ed. Schools are closed in NH. My company has me working from home since today. Don't know how long it will last, they told us until further notice.

Well my niece finally got tested on the 8th, positive. She never had it bad, cough, low fever, mild ache's and tightness in chest when breathing. Her husband had worse with difficulty breathing. They called Doc and got an inhaler (for broncitis?) and that got him to breathing easier. They are now both cleared, him last friday and her today. He's back to work at the hospital and she goes back in a day or two.
News said today peak was hit yesterday in Kansas. Not sure how they come to that. Dodge City just had a breakout at both Beef packing plants last week. Count is now up to 180. So far my sources have been spot on, so...Garden City had out break at Tyson first, other workers from Garden were car pooling to Dodge packing plants. 😡 I heard today that some were taking asprin and cooling their foreheads before getting up to gate temp checks. If that part is true,(and I question that) there should be criminal charges brought up against these people!😡
Hope you and yours stay safe.

Glad your niece and her husband are over it. It is amazing how differently it affects people. The Los Angeles numbers are strange compared to other places.
My wife and I had to run some errands today mail, chicken feed, ATM and glue for my roadster wood. I have been wanting to check on our little Tahoe shack since I head of several break-ins since the thieves know the second home people have been told not to go up there.
Our place was fine except where bears have torn down the back fence and had picnics in our yard with the neighbors garbage. It was aa weird feeling. The fewest people I've ever seen there. Not one boat on the lake. Three golf courses had no one on them. Sand Harbor Park had open gates but we saw only one couple walking on a mile or so of beach. A few cars were parked along the road where people walk down to more secluded beaches but less than a dozen where there are usually a hundred or more. Very few cars near the hiking trail accesses. All that open space we are told not to use while people cram into the few open stores.
When we got back to Carson City we were in a 1/4 mile line for the drive through at In & Out burgers. My wife had to stand in line to get into Trader Joes to buy some groceries. I tried Wall Mart for glue and it was packed and didn't have what I wanted. We went to Lowes and you would have thought they were giving stuff away. The lot was almost full. The checkout lines wrapped through the store. I got my glue and got out.
There haven't been many cases around here. Our County has not had one case and people are getting tied of the whole state being treated like Las Vegas. In spite of what you hear what happens in Vegas screws up the whole state. There was a protest in Carson City yesterday and it was treated like it was a bunch of uninformed hillbillies and Trump supporters pushing back on "Science and Medical Facts" They don't know what pushback is yet but I am afraid they will learn soon if the don't make some changes.
