I've already started social distancing..... oh wait I've done this my entire life. Sorry
Yes. There’s a photo of him right beside the guy who was diagnosed. I would be shocked if the potus isn’t infected given the nature of this thing.

Good point. And I’ll add a 4th thing though this one is more of a hope. It hitting the US later means it would be hitting when the weather is warmer. Will warming help mitigate the spread relative to if we were in the middle of winter??
NASCAR will run its next two races (Atlanta and Homestead-Miami) without fans. Subject to change obv
Did you catch the CDC guy before Congress saying they have posthumously confirmed some Flu deaths as Covid? He never said when and how long ago though.
Really starting to think it’s been here a little longer than thought.

I bought Red Sox tickets for a game at the end of June ?I'm sure I'll get refunded, but damn it. Been waiting years to go.
I think baseball will be played at some point, but there's no telling what they do. They might do something like condense the season and remove seeing some teams, so who knows if that game will still happen.

You’ll be able to go to those games. The season will start, just late.

Looking at Ticketmaster certain seating sections to purchase for the Braves game have been removed from the board. Only standard advance tickets are being offered. I wonder if clubs are holding their season tickets?
Our local grocery store. I didn’t even check the TP aisle......
Trump didn’t look 100% yesterday either
So what happens if news comes out that both Trump and Pence are infected? I’d like to explore that as a real possibility.

Duke just suspended all athletics.
Since Duke suspended athletics, I think we can assume March Madness won't happen. The Duke AD is the chair of the selection committee

Here's a sobering thought. There are a good number of political leaders on both sides of the divide with existing health issues and/or who are in the 60+ age bracket that is at the highest risk. Iran has actually lost some of their leadership to this virus... it's a sobering thought but something like that could be possible if this spreads through the Senate, House and the White House. Even area like the federal judiciary and the Supreme Court have some who would be in the high risk bracket, like Ginsberg and Clarence Thomas for example. Bernie Sanders and Biden, both democrat candidates, are also in the high risk zone...

McCarthy: Republicans to oppose Democratic coronavirus bill
Democrats will likely to be able to pass the bill in the House, but the Republican opposition is a blow to hopes for bipartisanship.www.google.com
The legislation, as it stands now, includes provisions for free testing for coronavirus, bolstering of unemployment insurance, paid medical leave for those out of work due to the disease and additional money to ensure children continue to get subsidized lunches if schools close.
Read last part! Let states handle it! Don’t force handouts!

All bad. No doubt about it
Kansas is also suspending athletics. Matter of time for the NCAA at this point

That's kind of what we've been saying for weeks now
Worried about coronavirus? If your loved one is over 60, read this
There are specific precautions older adults should take to protect their health. We spoke to two geriatricians and pulled guidance from the CDC to assemble what you need to know about the virus and how to stay safe.

I also think everyone should be wearing masks in public. The surgeon general is saying don't buy them which I understand because the medical field needs them first. They should make it a national priority to produce masks, gloves, etc.

Yeah all along we've known this is really serious for those who are 60+, my point is that our political leaders could all be at risk or already exposed. If for example Trump were to get it and be tested positive, can you imagine the panic that would bring about? Or Pence?
I’m with @Sandbar and what he said. I can go to the woods if need be. That being said, I just picked up 500 rounds of 7.62 NATO for my “reach out and touch something from 1,000 yards” toy. Also, --- people. I’m antisocial as --- around humans on my best day. Something like this? Heh heh heh... I’m probably as friendly as a rattlesnake with stomach psoriasis.

You do realize how many mask that would be and how many would be used daily? So are they free also?That's kind of what we've been saying for weeks now

Also they’re only good for about a half hour, hour max. If they get moist from breathing or whatever they need to be changed to a dry one. Kinda hard to keep that going. People don’t realize all that comes with using N95’s. On top of that, for it to actually work you have to be fit tested.

This virus is way too contagious to contain. 20 to 37 days is the average length of time someone can remain contagious. The amount if viral shedding is scary for this virus. If we quarantine sick people for the length of possible contagious period thats a MONTH. It also means if you lift large scale lockdowns like Italy has prematurely people could feel better but still be contagious?

I'm just talking about regular paper masks to get out to the grocery store. I'd rather my relatives 60+ have those on than nothing at all. There is a reason so many Asian citizens bust them out and they've been through this more than we have... both more serious and more often. I think we can learn from them.

On top of that the gloves if touch something would have to be changed. Endless cycle. I’m just trying to figure out where he is thinking all the money is coming from to supply all these to everyone. I guess fire up the money printer or copier.

If people are quarantined for a month you are going to have complete collapse of society. Financially for sure. Civil unrest will be a real threat. Being real if this were to happen will the govt say go back to work and be willing to sacrifice people’s lives for others to survive? Will I be willing to sacrifice so my kids have a future? Damn right I would! My mom would say yes also!This virus is way too contagious to contain. 20 to 37 days is the average length of time someone can remain contagious.

One last run. This doesn’t include at least a month worth in cupboards and freezer.

So people can be free of symptoms and still be contagious?

On a serious note. I hope like hell the fatal cases are minimized. I also hope that EVERYBODY learns something from this and I don't mean that in a bad way. We all can learn something about how to handle a crisis whether it be high impact or not. I probably downplayed the impact a bit.....but I am more than prepared. Another great thing that came from my military training....You never stop learning

Yeah. Asymptomatic transmissions are quite high for this virus

With the amount of global travel and the contagiousness of this we need to be learning everything we can from this and what the response should be next time.
I would still be skeptical about this. Needs more research, like almost everything else with this. If true though, very bad.This virus is way too contagious to contain. 20 to 37 days is the average length of time someone can remain contagious. The amount if viral shedding is scary for this virus.
