There's also two strains - one seems a lot milder. Maybe we'll get lucky and somehow only get the milder one.

I'm in Colorado where there are no reported cases. I never get sick, but I went down for the count in December and early January with similar symptoms. It makes me wonder a little, though as full disclosure any time I get a muscle cramp I assume that it's polio.

To loochy's point, there probably have been other cases of community spread that we don't know about - but it doesn't to seem to have put a large burden on any of our healthcare systems that we know of. Yes maybe it'll spread largely across the country, or maybe we'll only see isolated hot spots. Right now doesn't seem like the time for "WORST CASE SCENARIO" planning. |

I had a meeting in Burbank this morning so afterwards, I stopped at Costco for gas and just a few items.
It was a complete and utter madhouse. It took about 20 minutes to find parking and once I got inside, it was packed with old people that were in a tizzy everywhere, bumping into other people's carts, cutting in line, fighting for an opportunity to purchase water, even though the aisle was completely empty. Then, I saw fighting to get toilet paper, even though the area where the toilet paper was supposed to be was taped off with Police Tape and was completely empty. It was so unbelievably stupid. |

If by taking strong action and successfully quarantining those who get sick the virus isn’t much worse than the standard flu, then everyone says see it was all just hype. Seems to me you still want to have contingency plans for the worst, and have a smart response while trying to dampen down the inevitable panic that will get whipped up by some. |

I traveled to our Grand Rapids, MI office for a 2.5 day workshop on Tuesday. I saw my boss, who works in that office and was hosting the workshop, for roughly 2 minutes as she was leaving with flu like symptoms and has been down since. Later that day our leadership team from LA flew in and no one even mentioned it. Workshop went on and our biggest obstacle was confirming if x place had gluten free beer options.

My whole family got a weird disease about 2 weeks ago. Respiratory stuff, fever, exhaustion, but not much else. Now I'm wondering...

So when a real buying panic hits the Costco center of their brain lights up like a Christmas tree and they just have to go fight it out. |
