When finished with the job those exposed to the virus got on commercial aircraft and went out all over the USA. Some of those elderly civilians on the airplanes probably got on other connecting flights. And so on and so on. |

Wash your hands, clean your work surfaces, stock 2 weeks of food (even if it’s Ramen) just in case. We’re not getting any transparency or competence from our government here.

I don't fully understand the "stock 2 weeks of food" advice I keep seeing out there. I'm not terribly worried about DoorDash and grocery delivery getting shut down, and if they do, it'll be a lot longer time period than 2 weeks.
I suppose it makes sense if you don't live in a place that has those kinds of services and you don't know anyone who could go shopping for you. Otherwise, seems a bit alarmist to me. Last edited by DaFace; 03-01-2020 at 11:16 AM.. |

Thailand confirms first death
South Korea confirms 18th death, 210 more cases Armenia confirms first case China cases continue to spike. Guess we take whatever China says with a grain of salt when it comes to this "peaking" they speak of. I'd love to be wrong and hope it drops like a brick soon, though 294 Israeli students are in home quarantine, among them 28 preschool children Leader of infamous South Korean cult blamed for spreading virus to be tested for both virus and possibly for the title of "South Korea's biggest piece of shit." Also, members of the church visited Wuhan. One yikes after another Public anger building in South Korea in response to what they feel has been a half-assed government response to the virus...and they're probably not wrong No-brainer political decision of the year: A bipartisan effort in South Korea passes a special budget aimed at combating the virus China offers to transport citizens stuck in other countries heavily affected by virus back to China. Ok, maybe I'm a little out of the loop here, but outside of perhaps South Korea, isn't China still the most heavily-affected country right now? UK Prime Minister announces "battle plan" for combating virus Trump: Americans, please try to remain calm. Remember that scene from Airplane! when the stewardess tried to say the same thing and the passengers responded in kind? Costcos everywhere reported a similar response today Samsung Korea halts production in mobile device plant after virus case confirmed Sharp to temporarily switch from manufacturing TVs to manufacturing masks Beyond Meat not deterred from entering China this year even with virus still running rampant. I guess when opportunity knocks... Milan, Italy itching to go back to normal life. Don't we all Iranians burn down a clinic that may have been a quarantine area for virus patients. Iran, if you could just go ahead as a country and quit going full reerun over this situation, that would grreaaat, mmkay? Thanks a bunch, buh bye - The world No immediate plans to cancel, postpone, or relocate NBA, NHL, or MLB games |

FTR, none of this is intended to be alarmist. I’m treating this like I would before traveling a month out of country (Nepal, Kenya, etc). Funnily enough, the country that gave me most anxiety to travel to was France due to the spur of the moment riots (often violent) happening at the time. My concern is always more to do with running into the human/media driven hysteria and doing what I can to be prepared now rather than later. Last edited by Chiefspants; 03-01-2020 at 12:08 PM.. |

Well, after finding out that there is a 2% mortality rate, I've decided that I will abandon life on the surface world and declare myself a Morlock.
Fair warning: henceforth anyone approaching my burrow will be treated as an enemy C.H.U.D. or a free-range Eloi. |

Just stock up on some Slim-Jim's and your favorite Beef Jerky and several cases of you favorite beverage and you'll be one step ahead. Don't forget the toilet paper
