For a coronovirus shchool shutdown.
Bring em to work, put tv in break room,let girls rotate hourly watching them. Kid misbehaves,tell working parent kids gotta go home. Employee has to stay home with them,no vacation time left,then sorry no pay.

This a reasonable idea unless you work on a construction site,or in retail or a cop or a firefighter or a chef or a mechanic or a hair dresser or a doctor or a lawyer... I can't think of many jobs that could handle children

South Korea is closing schools and public gathering like Japan. How long before they stop going to work? Even if it doesn't spread here what does China, Japan and South Korea shutting down do to the economy? If it's just a few weeks, the economy will probably drop a bit more but rebound quickly. If it spreads here and we have to cancel schools the economy is screwed, how do most people go to work if the kids stay home?

Working parents in Japan are voicing these very same concerns...

I've been ready for sometime, just blows my mind how greedy the masses are.

Case denied for days but was luckily test and confirmed right about the time trump was set to inform us we are safe. And why was this one case tested it didnt meet the requirements per the cdc?

CDC Refused to Test First Possible Community-Transmitted Coronavirus Case for Days

The Center for Disease Control confirmed the existence of a coronavirus case in California with “unknown” origins on Wednesday evening, with UC Davis Medical Center revealing that they had requested a test last week, but had been denied by the CDC because “the patient did not fit the existing...

It's a small world
The CDC official who publicly countered President Trump’s stance that coronavirus is being blown out of proportion by mainstream media is the sister of disgraced Deep State Rod Rosenstein.

why? Because mass panic brings much gain!

Media now selling fear
The protocol would mean weaker patients who stand less of a chance of fighting off the sickness would be pushed down the pecking order.

Meanwhile, coronavirus "mass burial sites" are being planned by the government for a worst-case scenario pandemic, it has emerged.

I do. Seeing as how a General in the Chinese Army that used to oversee the Bio Weapons lab in Wuhan was tasked with the fallout. There is no chance that this was just happenstance. There are also reports now being made that this was indeed created as a bio weapon and it got out. I don’t know how, but seeing as how SARS came about from an infected animal that was sold as food (animal had been used in lab testing) I think this is somehow also the case here.

If you're a medical professional you are the last person that should be spreading a nonsense rumor like this that this is some sort of bio weapon. Please just stop.

Express UK is edgy, they sometimes make some sketchy and even downright terrible titles/news, I still think Coronavirus will strain things significantly tho, no doubt about that

I've seen the movie "I am legend" they cured cancer in that movie and we saw a zombie apocalypse. I'll trust a rushed vaccine with some serious caution!!
Click to expand...
Maybe it's not rushed. If they had it all along because it's a bioweapon they wouldn't want to admit to it. It's strange that we are just getting tests that work but they already have a vaccine
 
The cure on i am legend tho is different, it was made from a engineered version of measles, which at first was effective, but then started mutating and started turning people into darkseekers, and eventually became airborne

The thing about that is it might not be too hard to make an experimental vaccine. I'm not in the medical field, but from what I understand is viruses all have certain makeups, and if there is a virus similar in nature or type that has been studied and a vaccine created already, a few tweaks to that and lab testing and an experimental vaccine can be created quickly. They aren't starting from a certain point because it's a weapon, it's because they have knowledge of a similar virus. Even with no vaccine to a similar virus, there's study behind that one and knowledge.

Oh good grief. There are some seriously gullible folks in this world.

I never said I thought it was a bioweapon, but you are gullible if you think they have a vaccine for a novel virus this quick. The only gullible people right now are the ones that think this is just the flu and nothing will happen

It's a novel virus to us, but this is still in the same family of viruses like the common cold which is also a coronavirus. They all work on similar principles. It's a matter of finding the right combinations to attack it. There are methods to greatly speed up the process of finding what works, especially with AI now. This isn't 20 years ago. I work at a pharma company and they have all manners of technology now to speed up the process on something like this.

I hope they have one, just skeptical. If it's like the flu shot it will be considered a success if it works half the time.

Well, it's one thing to be skeptical about something. It's another entirely to promote silly conspiracy theories along with it, especially if you don't understand the science behind it.

I did the flu mist several years ago when that was still a thing and fell deathly ill. Why I thought it was a good idea to sniff a live virus is beyond me. Never again. I won’t even do the shot now. I’ll take my chances with the flu. It sucks but it’s not that bad.

Then let them know you will be first to try the vaccine.

I don’t get them and heck I’ve never had the flu. I must be lucky. Pollen puts me down for a week or so in the spring.

I'm not spreading anything, I'm being open minded and not following the herd. I'm not worried about the virus, I'm worried about people who are not able to take care of themselves because their head is in the sand. I'm a farmer and I can tell you that there is already supply problems and this has just started. I understand the science of being able to feed myself, how about you?

Over or under 1 1/2 weeks before the US is hit hard by this virus?

Not sure the definition of hit hard, but my guess is that we'll see cases start to pop in several cities/communities in less than 1.5 weeks. So, I'll take the under.
