Without being political, isn't what most of us are experiencing a taste of....?
Do you want to live without...?
Are lines for basic necessities acceptable to you?
Are grocery stores running out of (as evidenced here) basic food okay for you to accept as normal life?
This is just a taste of what...
Just sayin'...

P.S. and WTF is this strange new angle where we want to call it the Wuhan virus?! Do the political angles never cease?! 🙄
Lassa, Marburg, Hanta, Lyme, Zika, West Nile - and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
BE HONEST - no one cared that it was linked to China until The President said it on TV last night - then the media lost their minds.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Atleast with the covid19, it's not like nearly 100% mortality (90+%) like ebola. That's the silver lining.
I recall Ebola, that was bad, if you got it then you're toast. Our protocol in the hospital was if you showed up with Ebola, we left you in the containment room and closed all doors, sealed any gaps of the doors, and left you there. If you were seizing or crashing or coding (code blue), we left you there.
The bad part about covid19 is infectious rate is higher (I think the illustration below is slightly off).

The clap was bad if you ask Russ and the infection rate was the same with all of the red headed beavers within the lake. Tell me how this is different, given your "professional" aspect of the situation...

There are many corona virus' in the world, so calling this one the corona virus is wrong and misleading. It was from the beginning and should still be referred to as the Wuhan virus as it is the tradition to name a virus due to its point of origin.Political Correctness'.........defined

Kex, you never answered my question that we are all waiting for.

BTW, you still owe many forum members an apology for almost thwarting them out of a demonstration of Polk speakers.

Go back to pages 1-8 on this thread for a little bit of real history on that "claim". FWIW

Look at the cr@p our media is feeding us. Luckily not all of us believe it... Hopefully China has a core group of citizens (subjects) that can think independently.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

Factually inaccurate, Beatrice, according to every single credible scientific body on the planet... including the CDC as quoted above.

You act like the world as we know it is coming to an end. Chill bro, smoke some weed. , turn on the tunes, everything is going to be ok.
As long as this virus continues to expand, the world, for most of us, is coming to an end. Civilization is very fragile, and it won’t take much to collapse it. Even though I am 70, I am not in any rush to die. Ignoring what is occurring in the world is not conducive to survival. ‘Better safe than sorry’ is applicable here.
Bud. Your worries do not lack merit. Are your worries based on your own thoughts or from another source? Something that feeds and flames and worries.
Take care my friend.
Halen in Bud’s defense and concerns he was in the hospital at the end of last year. He also falls into the lethal statistic due to his age
He's not the only one too. Many of us here fall into the category of being the worst for this virus.
I'm not saying ignore it, obviously you have to take precautions and wait it out some. Turning yourself into a prepper though is a bit extreme.
Commerce is still going to happen, store shelves will get replenished, trucking will still bring goods to stores. The only thing greater than fear of a virus, is fear of losing money. Corporations are not going to just throw in the towel and cease to exist. Markets will go back up and life will go on.
After this virus goes away, and we stock up on test kits, next year it will be something else and all these test kits will be useless. You can't prepare as well as we'd like anyway, against something that you don't know what it is until it hits you.HT SYSTEM-

The Lancet Journal Wednesday released results of a study made in China. It found that survivors still carry the active virus on an average of 20 days. The least amount of time the virus was found active was 8 days post survival and the most was up to 37 days!.Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel…….Samuel Johnson

Yeah and there is even plenty of evidence that this one was genetically engineered, but I doubt the mainstream media is talking about that, or at least not the liberal *news* outlets.George / NJ

Actually corona virus in canine's is very common and most dogs are vaccinated for it with the parvo virus at the same time as puppies.

Making political hay out of any crisis is pretty much the standard in American politics. In an election year, it's a gimme. The sun coming up could be a political thing.
Anyway, most just sift through that manure to deal with the real issues at hand. Take precautions, but don't be stupid either. Don't be hanging out , if your older, in bars with loud music. The person talking to you usually has to get close to your face to talk, and spit on ya.

Other than conspiracy theories what do you have to back up your comment? Seems this would be really easy to prove.
Yet not once has any credible voice come forward and stated this is an engineered virus or even suggested such.

I've been reading lots of stuff. I'll have to try to find what I read, but it was comments by a medical researcher IIRC. I remember the info. referred to it as a *chimera*, as in having genetics from multiple viruses.
But dude, easy to prove? I think not.
