Something I was pondering last night - there is chatter that this escaped from a lab in China.

But what if it came from us? Our three largest enemies are China, North Korea, and Iran. And while we haven’t heard from North Korea, the biggest impact is to China and Iran.

It’s the Italy thing I haven’t figured out. . .

If Frank Zappa were still alive, he’d might be writing a song about the Coronavirus.

It’d be “Why Does It Hurt When I Breathe?”

Maybe it will be the “Corona Gold” exercise?

I ordered N95 respirator masks a few weeks ago, but they never came.

Followed up and they canceled my order.

Went to Home Depot: sold out
Went to Lowes: bought the last two packs.

Next step would have been paint stores...

The startling results of a recent university study were just released today, and it concludes that ten out of ten people are going to die.

60 members from the Chinese Olympic Rowing team is currently training in Austin, TX. They’ve already been at Texas State Univ. and 24 will be will be going on to Baylor Univ. Hopefully, they left China before catching the virus and none of them went back for Chinese New Years.

So far today it hit Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Previously Canada and Lebanon. All from Iran. They must have a much bigger outbreak than they are reporting. And depending on who you ask, could be “official” 12 death or 40 in Iran.

Dr. John Campbell says he received a direct email this morning from Iranian nationals quoting:

“Tehran situation is terrible with reports of deaths by the hour.”

He added that it’s from a contact in Iran and he has no way to verify that, but he knows who they are and don’t believe they are lying. He also says that there’s no real doubt that there’s a huge outbreak in Iran.

Does Trump know only 3-4 states are testing? The other 46 don’t have any tests.

It isn’t leveling off in Canada, Italy or the ME.

It’s a kind of odd tweet, because he mentions the stock market was looking good after the big drop...maybe he’s hinting everything is opposite, which would make sense

“So far today it hit Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Previously Canada and Lebanon. All from Iran. They must have a much bigger outbreak than they are reporting.”

Yep, that’s the kind of stuff that I watch. If Iran is a relative handful of cases, and they’re not purposely trying to infect everyone in the Middle East (which I doubt, even as nasty as they are), then how are they managing to vector-out half a dozen carriers...out of their 40 or so ‘announced’ cases? After all, there are 80 Million people there, one would not expect a single vector until they had thousands of infections.

The EXACT SAME happened regarding Wuhan. A relative handful of ‘announced’ people in the city of 11 Million, yet a bunch of them managed to vector-out and infect Singapore, Seattle, and several other places.

Bummer that the ostriches here can’t do the level of math that we’re able to do (arithmetic).

“280,000 – 500,000 hospitalizations
Deaths: 16,000 – 41,000
And yes, that’s just the flu.”

CRAP!!! Just imagine the Coronavirus cases added to that!!!
