They evacuated US Citizens that were in China and quarantined them at Travis AF base in Northern California. I wouldnt be surprised if after the quarantine period ended and they showed no symptoms that they are still infectious.

50+ cases from that nursing home in WA. Another case out in the Chicago burbs - hopefully not my burb.

I read that you can be infectious, and never come down with it.

From the numbers I've seen. Younger then 10 yrs old doen't get it. but from 10 yrs old and up. The older you are. The more likely you are going to get it. 70 and up are getting hit the hardest. Plus those in poor health.

Whelp. All jokes aside. Heard from a reliable source that the Illinois case is @ the hospital in my town.

That's what skews the total reported number of cases to an unrealistic low number. Which leads to an inaccurately high mortality rate (currently reported in the 2% range).

If you don't know you have it, then you're most likely asymptomatic and will not get tested.

Ok, carry on.

Nope! This sounds like an EXCELLENT time to panic. If nothing else it's good for the arteries. Keeps 'em supple.

The RO number is something like 6.2 to 7%. Which is high. Needs to be below 1%.

It's going to get worse.

Seen one video from the outside of one store where people are cleaning it out. One guy was trying to stuff his minivan full of bottled water. He had so much that it wouldn't all fit inside of it.
