But that isn't what I said at all.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte canceled most Masses late Saturday after Gov. Roy Cooper banned gatherings of 100 people or more.Bishop Peter Jugis canceled Masses at all churches with a seating capacity of at least 100 until further notice. The diocese spans 46 counties.Churches that seat 100 or fewer may continue offering Mass.https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article241205576.html?
Interesting theory that is starting to emerge, and I'll preface this by saying it may all be hokum and hopes, but it does make some sense to me based on what we're seeing and not seeing.The virus emerged in Wuhan in November, given home much travel goes on between the US and Wuhan its possible that Coronavirus hit the US earlier than we think. This school of thought hits the much harder flu season this year, worst it's been in 20 years. It may be a coincidence but perhaps this started in December in the US and we are seeing round 2 not round 1.Again, maybe it's nothing. Better for us to be safe than sorry I guess
So the theory is that the severity of the flu season really wasn't the flu? I have two questions about that theory.Are there a lot of incidences of people getting "the flu," even though they received the vaccine? How does this account for what is occurring in Italy and Spain right now?
news channels are coronavirus non stop 24/7-now this is ridiculous!! so nothing else is going on in the world...nothing...i swear if there was an earthquake or a plane crash they would probably carry it as a scroll along bottom of the screen. they have "expert" after "expert" all the same stuff, over and over and over. if for some reason, something remotely new happens regarding the virus, they all rush over to that and pound pound pound, then back to the same old video of empty shelves, store fights, lines out the door...
Don't you think this is understandable? What else should they talk about?And you can watch something else you know. Or turn off the TV and read a book. Watch a movie. I cut the 24 hour news channels out of my life years ago, and my life is better for it.
Wouldn't people be testing negative for the flu if this were the case, though? Or is there a way that standard flu tests would come back positive if someone actually had the coronavirus?
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.

Mother, should I trust the government?
My son started displaying symptoms tonight, so I took him to get tested. A parent of one of his daycare classmates tested positive today. Besides the testing area looking like a scene from outbreak, it was pretty fast and we were the only ones there for the 45 min it took. We're on self quarantine til our results come back, but stay safe out there. I think it takes a case of it hitting home (our actual home) to shed some true light on the situation.The Dr. basically said kids will be fine, they just are spreading it due to a lack of signs. My boy is sleepy now, but was happy and playing all day.He said my age group basically will get flu like symptoms and to not stress out about it unless there's severe shortness of breath (only being able to speak in one word increments was his sign to worry) Lastly, he said 65+ is prayed on by the disease. So anybody on here in that category should do their damndest to stay home and in self quarantine as much as humanly possible. Cheers everyone. Any prayers would be appreciated, and we're going to take this one day at a time. I will keep you all posted if you'd care for a separate superbar thread.
Wishing you and your family the best. Out of curiosity, where did you get tested. The few people I know of with bonafide COVID-19 symptoms that have went to the doctors, have been unable to get tested.Was this in the US?
Unpopular opinion.Looking at the numbers coming out of Europe, the US should proactively lock it all down. Wait our two weeks, and take our medicine. The longer we deny this, the more people become carelessly infected, and we will end up in a lockdown anyway. Do it, get it over with, save some lives.
I agree. It's only a matter of time, but the sooner we shut things down, the easier it will be in the long run.FWIW - the MN governor is holding a press conference at 10am to "discuss plans for Minnesota schools." My wife works for the Rochester Public Schools, and is anticipating a long spring break.
