19,775 officially confirmed cases in the USA. +392 since yesterday.

The rumor mill is working overtime.

They said they had turned Vanderbilt garage into a hospital Ward and showed a picture of beds and partitions...

Big problem I seen was that it was faked. I installed the lights in that garage. I am intimately knowledgeable about that garage...

They showed a drop ceiling with lights....
And where that's possible...it wasn't correct.
The ribs supporting the above floors would prevent the height the ceiling was at... even laminating the ceiling tiles to the ribs...the lights and power wouldn't fit. Then there's the whole permits thing... gotta have one...and the construction crew to make it happen.
Labor is so tight there's no way it could happen.

Told my wife it's faked or mis-stated...but whatever people want to believe. We got two in the hospital and one death from Corona in the state.

Then there's a host of isolation wards... plenty more that aren't but readily available for conversion to isolation for infectious diseases.
No need to set up in the garage.

Yes, and a vaccine eliminated it. We need a vaccine for 19. A Manhattan project type research should be initiated.

No, its still,a concern ,I,m too,young,to have the scar and if you,deploy,to,a third world nation ,you get the scar,I had no,reaction as they use chicken pox ,not actual small pox ,I'm a soldier and not a medic and what do I know about varicella.I,had chicken pox.of course I won't,scab up.

Still waiting to hear from anyone who might actually have it or know somebody with it here in America.

My work has two reported cases from our campus... That's about as close as I can get right now.
I've been working from home all week. Went outside to clear tree branches for an hour last Monday... Took garbage to the curb Thursday. That's the extent of going anywhere for me.
However... I may be heading somewhere in about 10 minutes if they are open. I have my mask, gloves and hand sanitizer all ready lol!

Seriously, Michigan is in pretty good shape overall. Our governor shut things down early and having water all around us kind of creates a natural barrier. So far, all the cases are in the Detroit metro area.

Today we will cross over 200,000 active cases in the world.

Everyone is predicting millions of infections...

Getting ready for millions...

But if the isolating of everyone slows it down so drastically...when is this going to end?

Sure, we will delay getting sick and a bunch of old people (like me and my parents) will live...but my question is how long can we afford to do this?

Just thinking out loud....

An economy the size of America's is not something that moves quickly. It crashes in slow motion and booms in slow motion. Sectors can crash quickly...like dine in restaurants, movie theaters, concerts, catering events, and etc...
But the others are affected by one sector crashing and pull them down.

Italy's economy is gone...tourism to there and Spain is over.
These will destroy the European Union which was already reeling over Greece falling.
The Euro won't be worth the paper its printed on.

Fiat currencies fail...and don't end well when they do. Russia has been through three of them.

Does anyone here have corona, know someone who has corona, or knows someone who knows someone who has it?.

No, no, and no for me. (Thankfully.)

Its not,a cure but actually chicken pox that gives you,anti bodies to fight it.

We have a fiat currency

 

[JohnDB]

We have a fiat currency

Yes we do...and a major portion of the world uses it as the commodity to base their currency off of.

England doesn't...they used to be a part of the EU....but before British Pound Sterling was a standard currency . I'm not sure if they have returned to that or not...they should before it's too late. I guarantee you that the German Mark is definitely looking at it...them and Austria both.

But many countries use the dollar to back up their currency...from Aussie to Greenland to Brazil and Mexico. And despite their attitude in accepting it, even Israel uses the Dollar to uphold their Shekel.

Oh and looks like Ohio has reached its second death. It's very sad, don't get me wrong,.. but from the way they're carrying on about it it looks like the whole entire state is headed for disaster or something.

Report: 2nd coronavirus death in Ohio was 85-year-old Erie County man

The Sandusky Register says the 85-year-old man was an Erie County resident.

www.wtol.com

Ohio's first coronavirus death is 76-year-old Lucas County attorney

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine confirmed that a man from the Maumee area is the first confirmed coronavirus death in Ohio.

Ah well,.. might as well humor them. Everyone, it has been a privilege chatting with you guys today. *Starts playing the violin*

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Oh and btw, I'm not really making fun of the Titanic or Coronavirus for the record,.. I'm making fun of how much that last article was totally overreacting when that guy started talking about walking through the shadow of the valley of death when only two people have died so far lol,.. still my thoughts and prayers go towards their friends and family members.

This why I didn't have a reaction.of course poke a needle 23 times into my,skin with an infection it will react

 

[Luminous_Rose]

There are a few cases close to home. A little worried at the moment, but we are trying to stay home as much as we can for now. There are just times we gotta go out or rather have my husband run a quick errand.

Toilet paper is still flying off of store shelves, though.

 

[HeIsRisen2018]

Hey, just for the record everybody here knows that I wasn't laughing at the two guys that died right? I was laughing at how paranoid the world has seemed to become.

Hopefully they will come up with a vaccine for 19 soon.

Didn't they already say that they were going to come up with one?

 

[JohnDB]

Didn't they already say that they were going to come up with one?

They are having early stages trials meaning that one might be ready by this time next year.
