No problems in my area. It's just the bigger cities with all the nut jobs that are having issues.

With the long lag between exposure and symptoms (and people may be contagious after symptoms disappear), plus the folks that refuse to self-quarantine, it's going to spread. For those of us in rural areas, it may take a little longer to get here, but it will.

As far as people freaking out, that's going on in cities of all sizes. My tiny burg is out of TP and most meats right now. (I can understand the run on meat and other foods, but a roll of TP lasts a long time. You don't need to buy it up by the grocery cart. Get a 24-pack and leave some for others.)

I have a friend that eats take-out a lot. He's thinking about selling paper napkins for $1 a piece on Ebay. Most are plain white but some of them have pretty graphics. Get 'em while they're hot!

Some of the stuff I've read last night says we are about 10 to 14 days behind Italy and their issues. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Some of the reports out of Europe is saying the young are getting it too now.

There is a thing called viral load. It's how much infection you get the first time. Say you pick up a few viruses floating around. It will take about 60 hrs before you come down symptoms and your body has a chance to fight back.

Now if someone coughs and you're in the direct path of it. And you get a truck load of viruses. You may only have 4 hrs before you show symptoms. The virus will hit you harder because your body had less time to start fighting it.
