Kolek planning to go pro
as more "first hand" news and reports from guys like wags, goose and a few others here who do direct business with the asian areas, will we start seeing our most accurate reports. watch the stock market tomorrow-that could also tell us a little more. as more accurate numbers of the cases come out and the #'s being verified via testing, the mortality rate will drop. i am not by any means trying to minimize any death from this virus. it seems as though it's following the usual story; the very young, very old and the immunocompromised who are most susceptible
zero deaths for kids under 10 world wide
Indian Wells Tennis Tourney canceled for next week due to the Coronavirus.For those that don't follow the sport, it's the biggest non grand slam/major professional tennis tournament on tour. Many of the players have been there practicing. Qualifying events were completed.
DC priest is confirmed with Covid-19, distributed communion over the last two weeks to at least 500 people.....I think we can probably close the book on containment.Time to go find a Typhoid Mary/Marty to hang out with to get the contagion over and done with. Benny, you find a source for yourself yet?
Is "containment" the actual goal any longer? It seems like its more like "slowing the spread before the weather gets warm and hopefully slows down until fall."
Yeah, about that, isn't Tehran, Iran pretty warm?
It's not a literal temperature thing, it's a cultural thing ie people get outside when its warm outside so the "concentration" of individuals in enclosed spaces is less.....that's why flu season is October to April typically because the conditions for spreading it is more concentrated.
Actually, I read a story yesterday where warm temps coupled with higher humidity decrease the likelihood of spreading of any virus from individual to individual. So we go outside, increase social distance, and degrade the environment all at once.I sincerely feel for the elderly and immune compromised. They are at risk for sure. The nasty thing about this is that we're going to get it, maybe not even know, and get better. Many more Americans that have been reported have likely already recovered. So it's a 'best practice gameplan' for most and for God's sake stop hoarding toilet paper. (Did you guys see that idiotic fight over TP yesterday?)

What's with the TP hoarding anyway? Is it because people think that there's a likelihood of self quarantine and you won't get to the store to purchase TP? Because I don't see anything in the stated symptoms that would increase the need to use TP, like diarrhea.
