COVID-19 news as of this morning
It looks like getting it a second time is worse than the first time. I guess the body attacks itself on the second go around, I can't remember the technical term.
So for those who get through it may want to continue to stay away from anyone who has it their first time (Spanish Flu).

Senator Cotton may be correct. It's now being reported this morning all over the place that the food market wasn't the cause and it may
be in fact a government lab in Wuhan. When this initially began to be reported I was shocked at how fast and to what measure the
Chinese were attempting to shut this down. Obviously they didn't want our viral disease experts to take a close look because our
scientists are some of the best in the world.

The economic impact of this is going to pretty crazy. Granted 2% doesn't seem like that many, that is if we're getting the truth really from China
about the number of cases and deaths. But 2% is 150 million worldwide within a year and significant enough that the largest country in the world
just shut down most of its economy for the time period to keep a handle on it. With all the "don't worry be happy" people here in the US, who would freak the heck out if asked to stay in their homes 24-30 days, it's not going to be pretty here as well. Companies in the US better start
thinking about employees working from home on a much grander scale. After reading the cruise ship reports I'm not so confident with anyone
but me preparing my food once it hits the US. Obviously washing hands (often) and being careful around others will be a big deal in public.
Kind of interested how they'll handle this in the schools, that's where my worry really is in terms of this spreading quickly in the US. Maybe we'll
get lucky at this hits in the summer and it won't be as bad.


For those on CB who were throwing stones at us talking about it. It's not to scare anyone, but it wouldn't be a bad idea for this community to
actively report whats going on in their community or tips on what others or (they) are taking to deal with this virus. It's not looking like we're going
to avoid it so we may as well accept the fact it's coming and talk about ways to deal with it.
