    What concerns me is if this virus affects a larger percentage of the population then shortages everywhere for everything will become common place. I suppose I could buy a freezer to guard against that, and I will look into that. However, who is going to keep the power on when that starts failing? These are definitely interesting times.

    Uncharted waters now,

    If there is a storm and the normal run on local supply it is refilled from other areas of the country. Here the problem is it's the entire country clearing the shelves.

    Expect for a few months there to be a ration on basic items
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    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.

    Jesus, help me please.

    ~128,000 confirmed cases
    ~ 81,000 of which are in China
    7.53 BILLION people on the globe.

    The virus has been out there for at least 3 months. More likely 5.

    It's infected a reported .002% of 1% of the global population. FAR less than that have died.

    That fact that it isn't spreading faster is evidence that quarantine efforts and isolation efforts are working.

    If there's any "end of times" it's because of the panic behavior and hysteria that's going on.

    Take a statistics class or something, people, geez.

    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, good question. As I have gotten older, I have been thinking of my mortality. Old age I can deal with. Some BS virus, that probably came from a lab, irritates me. :)

    What is political about calling something from its origin. We are always told to identify from origin. African American, Asian American. The disease originated in Wuhan China. There is no race of Wuhanese so it’s not a matter of race. Fact is the virus is a disease from Wuhan ... ie Wuhan Virus. Duh.

    Not to mention that ALL of the media called it Wuhan virus from late January through all of February until Chinese media cried Xenophobia.

    What about Spanish Flu. West Nile Virus, do we go back and rewrite all of history for All “woke” culture.

    Please.

    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.

    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.
