Her Mom and I have been trying to persuade her not to go. She will be flying from iad to fort lauderdale. Cheap tickets. Several of her friends scooped them up last minute and the air b&b is dirt cheap. Any thoughts on how to convince her to cancel would be helpful. She successful, single and is in her mid 20s and has just been told to work from home for the next 3 weeks.
BS? Man you people need to wake the F up. This virus is no joke, and I recommend any of you who want to actually find out something other than what Hannity or Rush tells you should go over to the Coronavirus Live Thread, where there is an attempt to share data and scientific articles about the geniune threat we face in this country. Some posts will age well, and some won’t - and covid19 deniers will find their posts age piss poor.
Oh brother.
Day 14 of the National Hurricane. Go buy some TP to make yourself feel better.
“#BREAKING: 25 new coronavirus cases in Florida. A lot in Miami-Dade and Broward.”

Grab a shower hose kit at Home Despot too, just in case you need to go into bidet mode.
“...If you have underlying medical issues..”
Everyone over 70 has “underlying medical issues” even if you aren’t aware of them. And a whole bunch of younger people do to.
LOL! I already have. I believe I still have a few Sears catalogs in the basement.
So much for best laid “plans”.
Good point. Being overweight could be considered an underlying medical condition.
I think that phrase is often used by the government to allay fear.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover.
In 3 weeks there will likely be a prayer request for Abb. “Killed by his own neglect and foolishness. Dragged his partner with him to death”.
Thanks for the info. I never knew what it was called.
I’ll be 63 in a couple of weeks, we’re taking a vacation to Jamaica. I think it’s all been over hyped. If I were 20’s, and had the time, I’d go everywhere while the tickets are cheap.
Bingo!
My 26 yr old grandson cancelled a trip with friends to Arizona...we told him to go! But, he does live in the Seattle area so there was THAT. We had already cancelled a fishing trip in April with him...but that was because WE are old.
She’s young; I’d let her have some fun.
And how many people through chain infection from there?
These are the idiots that may possibly spread this thing. Is it to much to ask to have some self discipline for a month and let things settle?This notion that the “young” are immortal is asinine.
So true. Because a huge percentage of FR posters have it, including you. Wait, nobody here has it? OH.
I say no. I’m dealing with the same issue. My daughter and her family are going to Dallas.
