Not that I'm trying to downplay the situation, because in actuality it is a little bit worse than the flu simply because its unknown and does have a higher mortality rate, but way too many and I mean WAY too many of you all are hyping this up. It's extremely disappointing that anyone would overhype an event that could kill quite a few people, And don't argue that you're helping relay information because you're not, you're conspiring and relaying false facts leading to confusion and unneeded fear. The best thing you guys can do right now is just pay attention.
 
I’m convinced the Gavin Newsom announcement earlier that 8400 people were being monitored for the virus in California was 100% political to send the market into free fall going into the weekend. Tomorrow will be just as bad. Question everything
The same person also stated that California will not be declaring a Coronavirus emergency, those are two very contracting actions I'd have to disagree with. I don't think anyone is intentionally 'tanking' the stock market. However if there is a political input, it's actually Donald Trump. Every time he attempts to mute the situation the stocks dive further due to the refutation between competing agencies and contradicting statements. You have the CDC stating it's not a question of if but when it will get worse and Donald stating it there's a possibility it will get worse but not to worry because it may not.
 
I would treat this the same way you would treat a flu outbreak. Be proactive and be cautious. I don’t think you should do anymore then you have planned. It’s a good plan.

Thanks. One thing I’ll be doing for awhile in addition is limiting unnecessary social interaction (not hard since I’m no social butterfly lol) and also trying to limit being near any gatherings of folks.

That’s the good thing about the frequent walks I take. They’re outside and safe. Actually, I’m about to take one.

Really agree with this, there’s nothing better you can do, until something happens (closures) we gotta go to work and make our money, and not let fear affect that, still gotta go to our local grocery store and get our food, just needa do what you said, some let fear get to them to much, being prepared/aware is way better then expressing fear/letting it affect the way you live
 
In all seriousness I'm not try to spread fear or hype up this situation. I'm only posting things that I would like others opinion on to make it easier to understand what is going on. I'm not suggesting running to the store or even buying masks. I am very confused and concerned by what China has done in response to this disease compared to our government. I'm not a expert on this subject but I am good at processing information and forming my own educated opinion. I have been paying attention to this for a month and the scariest part of this is the conspiracy nut balls have been ahead of and more accurate than the news.

Maybe China’s reaction was more to cover up the leak then to stop the leak? I’m sure we have a few viruses in labs we are keeping safe just in case. Just a guess.

So that SK stewardess flew on a couple of A380 flights from SK to LAX with atleast 1 overnight layover and was also on a flight to tell Aviv that later had 30 confirmed cases.

But the flu the flu the flu: Group think

Couldn't have come out of a biolab no way no how impossible: Cognitive dissonance

It'll infect some people but won't cause any disruptions here: Normalcy bias

Not testing obvious candidates; silencing authorities and experts; allowing disease spread through lack of proper controls and blatant recurring oversights: incompetence or direct malevolence -- take your pick

Lots of space between denial and acceptance and action. Hopefully, the space will close before time is up.
 
I've heard a lot of ppl saying those n95 mask orders are being canceled. I really didn'td anything we just went out to see the buzz around town. Ppl where talking about it. But traffic at the store was norm maybe a hair more ppl.. But the condoms being out of stock really made me laugh

I would rather wear a full hazmat suit and gas mask before I would wear a mask. N95 are good for short periods after your breath makes them moist I don't believe they are as effective,....wish I had a hazmat suit that would get killer looks in public?

On market watch money pouring in now, but likely to red as all other makerts are down
Dow had 670,366,584 today wow

Masks only help keep you from giving it to others, it doesn't really do much to protect you.
