I've washed my hands more in the last few days than a typical week and avoided people I've known for years. Haven't missed a days work in more than 25 years and will be there tomorrow morning making sure things work as they should.

The sad thing is the fortune 500 company I work for has fallen all over themselves to accommodate the sales force and office staff--and hasn't done a damn thing to protect those of us on the floor keeping the company running and the money coming in???

Appears the UK is starting to adapt measures not needed since WW2.

"Wartime-like measures will ask carmakers to produce medical equipment and turn hotels into hospitals"

I feel like I`m living in a movie or twilight zone. Some of you need to turn off the news .

"CDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018–2019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1).


But yes let`s freak out and close schools, cancel sporting events, buy all the toilet paper in the isle because 2800 people are infected with corona flu .. makes sense!!


More people are going get shot and die in Chicago this month then all the corona deaths in the entire US ..
You have no idea how much I hope that you are right. I pray that you are right. But there are already 25 deaths out of that one nursing home in Wash State that was ground zero for the virus in the USA. I looked it up and it only has 106 rooms. That is an insane mortality rate for our elderly.

The typical flu season has a mortality rate of about .1%. Preliminary reports puts the Coronavirus mortality rate @ 3% to nearly 7% depending on country. In your example the rate is about 12% assuming double occupancy.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math and see the implication.

The problem with calculating mortality rates is that we do not know how many are affected. If it is far more than reported as many state, then the fatality rate is way less than being reported.

This is one reason I see media hysteria as making this worse than it has to be...

Have you ever been to a "nursing home" ?

I used to go to one every weekend with a girl i dated years ago , it was here Grandmother and it was f ucking sad. It ripped me up every time I went . To me it was where elderly were "thrown away" by there family - to live out what "life" they had left.

As I type this I am actually starting to tear up , because there was nothing I could do for any of those people that were "thrown away" because a family didn't want to be burdened with taking care of there own family.. It was a very said place .

That's a memory I would rather not think about but , yeah , I put it up here anyway.

So , from my "experience" you bet a disease will exterminate the eldery in nursing homes. It's not the County Club.

Reading the ripple effect of this COVID 19 is a red flag!

I follow the Formula 1 car racing and in the last 4 days, the season opener in Australia scheduled for the 15th March was cancelled, Bahrain and Vietnam have been postponed indefinitely, China was already postponed. Now hopes of opening the season in May but it's by no means definite.

F1 is perhaps the most expensive traveling show in the world. It's costing manufacturers and the FIA a fortune and creating up to 300,000 pissed off fans at each weekend, many of whom travel across the oceans to see the spectacle. I know it's not the most popular sport in the U.S. but it's worth a fortune in revenue and right now, the season looks pretty bleak.

On the bright side it gives other teams a chance to come up with a response to the latest "innovation" by the Mercedes Benz team that is already outlawed in 2021. This season is/was shaping up as another boring MB runaway season.
