For the zombie apocalypse that is coming because of all the people infected with the Coronavirus? Wait, forget that, I am watching World War Z. Watching I Am Legend next. There's virus created vampires in that movie.
all this virus is doing is showing how Idiotic, selfish and stupid society is. ITS A VIRUS PEOPLE!! I'm surprised networks aren't showing these flicks over and over, oh wait... we don't want people to over react....wait a minute.... TOO LATE!!

Visions of 1929!
(No, I wuzzn't there, and I don't particularly care to see that!)
My thoughts too. Seems as the dominoes are set to tumble?
now... if you are not in that at risk group, if you have symptoms or think you have the virus they do not want you to be tested, of wait a minute, are you saying that for the majority of the population we are supposed to just ride it out?? best idea I have heard so far. As a business owner, but has not yet been directly affected by mandated government shut down I have a rant... We don't want people that aren't at risk to be tested even if you think you have it or are symptomatic...Why are we mandating businesses to close? why not make it to a choice to the public, if you chose to Armageddon prep, live in a bubble, hoard groceries or ammo, that's your choice live in your bubble, why penalize the majority of the population? if you don't want to go out then don't, if you choose to...that is your choice. I don't know If I heard correctly but Wisconsin passed a bill requiring employers to continue to pay employees for extended sick leave. Wait a minute you are telling a business they have to close and mandating that they still have to pay their employees? and at the end of the year you can apply for a tax credit? what about the here and now? what about unemployment insurance we pay into all year, why not rewrite that so people can collect what they have paid into and never have collected on, without penalty to the employer. I can see this directly affecting small business's in a very bad way and again all because of a virus. I had seen on TV that even a lot of Las Vegas couldn't survive without 6 weeks of shut down. I don't want to sound like a broken record but this is getting way out of hand and I don't think the long term repercussions of overreaction are being considered or acknowledged. What is going to happen next year or the year after that if another virus resurfaces or if we have a bad flu season which in past has killed as many as 60,000 people in our own country. When you go for your flu shot aren't they basically making an educated guess that they are giving you a shot for the flu that's coming and no guarantee it is?. I can see this overreaction leading to more and more panic in the years to come and the economy and world as a whole cannot survive this, look at what it has done to us and we have not seen the worse of it. All over a virus that for a large percentage of the population may not even affect or affect mildly, just as the flu does year after year. BTW With the shortage of TP and paper goods does anyone know if tortillas are flushable or septic safe?

Was at WM yesterday and looking at the empty toilet paper shelves . I asked a girl who had a bank ID badge on if she had ever seen anything like this? She said its crazy at the bank, everybody is withdrawing their money. They had to put a limit on the amount withdrawn not enough cash to give. This is scary ??? 1929 ??
X2!
The workers at my local grocery are trying to figure out what people are doing with all the food they are buying, because unless you have a huge freezer, there is no way you can put half of what they are buying in the standard fridge in your house. Their 1000 customers a day has ballooned to 5000 per day, and the only reason they can't keep meat and other items on the shelf is because there is not enough employees to stock what is in the back of the store. At least that is what they are telling me - and if you look past the shelves in your immediate view in the coolers, you can see carts full of food behind those.
Settle down everyone, take a breath for cripes sake.....
Who runs the media?
One word.....

I know someone who is showing symptoms of having the virus. Said person called the Doc. Doc basically says, yup, sounds like you have it. Stay home and ride it out. Do not come to hospital. No, we're not interested in testing you. Tell your family to go about there normal lives as long as they don't show symptoms.
The incubation period is supposed to be 2 weeks. If this person does indeed have the virus, simple logic suggests most likely the rest of the family already has it. Even if they are currently symptom free.
So we are shutting everything down and crashing the economy, but yet we really don't care if this person's family spreads it all around?.....
I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist, but this one really has me scratching my head!

Not necessarily. An employee of mine had her husband come down with the n1h1 years ago. She and her two son's lived in the same house as him and none of them ever got it.

My mother and stepfather visited my stepbrother in San Francisco two weeks ago. My stepfather an Anaesthesiologist is showing all the symptoms. They won't test him. One there are not enough tests. Two they don't want to rack up more numbers. Three as soon as he is fever free for 24 hours they want him back at work. If he tests positive they lose him for 2 weeks. I have had no contact since before they went on the trip. They won't go near anyone especially my stepfather's 95 year old mother. That is who they are worried about the most.
