We have jabronis in our office traveling back and forth to Seattle. There's about a 10% chance I don't end up with it.

What kind of idiot would actually want to travel to Seattle right now? Even if I had business in Washington state I think I could find enough reason to put it on hold for another month or two.

I wonder if we see any kind of Wake county gradient with this thing? Maybe a steep drop off in COVID-19 the further southeast you go?

If these numbers are correct, then the mortality rate is significantly higher in Italy than China. I can’t believe that. Any idea how many people have really died in China?

It makes sense, Italy is a ageing population, they live on top of each other. A outbreak is very easy that way.

We can't rely on the numbers being reported from China as accurate; Beijing is not known for transparency.

We know it’s 60 and up and people with underlying health issues. Canceling schools, events and etc is not going to stop it. It just has to run its course.

Yes but kids are running around and do the most in regards to transmission .. keeping schools open and events going will only further spread the illness to those who can be more susceptible to the virus

I understand but as we are being told it’s just like the flu. People and schools continue most of time with flu.

Yes but it spreads faster and is much more contagious.. having an entire school system with the flu isn’t an ideal situation and certainly isn’t healthy for the public by any means .. sick kids = sick professors and everyone has contacts with someone with underlying health conditions AND OR someone who is elderly .. not a good situation
