Coronavirus

[CEO]

China just quarantined 20 million trying to stop the spread of this. How do you quarantine 20 million people?

Heard on the radio you can get out of the quarantine zone for a small bribe.

Texas State News interviewed a student and he has the best response I've heard -

"A&M didn't send out a Code Maroon on this, so I'm not worried. They seem to have this under control."

I concur with him.

The thing you have to keep in mind, we in the US have a much better grasp on sanitation and medical care than nearly the entire world.

And we don't live with our food.

Meanwhile, hundreds if not thousands of Americans will die today from heart disease.

The thing you have to keep in mind, we in the US have a much better grasp on sanitation and medical care than nearly the entire world.

And yet the flu spreads here almost as fast as anywhere else. Once it is here and starts to spread, we don't have much to fight a virus, even with our medical system.

Since we're keeping count, let's not forget about Cancer.

Probably in line with SARS, H1NI, Mad Cow, Ecoli, etc. Just something else the media can use to create fear and generate a story.

or redirect attention. Oh hey that reminds me, isn't there an impeachment trial going on right now?

I have not sir, and of course would not wish that on anyone. My attempt at humor was poorly thought out. My apologies.

This works better anyway.

The real question is why are we allowing Chinese students into the U.S.? There have been quite a few espionage cases recently perpetrated by Chinese students and professors, not to mention how stupid it is to educate the people who will go back to China and use the education that they got here to produce weapons and other technology to be used against us.

Because they pay full price.

[Graysonhogs]

Random thought, do they call it "colonavirus" in China?

I'm supposed to be in Wuhan in March...

American Airlines is fighting with me about canceling our tickets saying that it isn't that big of a threat, they only want to refund the portion that would be a connection from Shanghai to Wuhan not the entire trip

Uh yeah, every year, all the nut jobs claim I got the flu shot and got a sore arm 30 years ago and will never get a flu vaccine again
Or they are immune to it till they get it and kill the baby or grandpa , or my kid got their autism from a vaccine so our whole family doesn’t do any type of vaccines
The flu can and will kill you IMO people who don’t get a free flu shot are a recipe for disaster
We forget about the pandemics of history where 25 million people die from the flu in a year

I am in dozens of people's homes a year that have the flu. I don't get the flu shot (haven't in 8+ years). Haven't gotten the flu since the last time I got the flu shot (8+ years ago).
