I know you weren’t being sarcastic, EBH. S’ok. I had two relatives who contracted SARS a few years back from a cruise boat. One of them was elderly and nearly died. The spread of diseases is easy, and we are seeing illnesses we haven’t seen in the US.
That we could have a serious outbreak of something here that spreads quickly is cause for concern. I also think the martial law possibility is a curve ball method to declare it but possible nonetheless. I am just used to not being around such an illness as this, although I know folks who came down with SARS a few years back.
My dad has congestive heart failure. He lives in Dallas. I’m concerned about him catching this illness.
If he does get sick, I won’t be able to visit him because I have 2 daughters that are also high risk for flu complications (seizure disorder for one and asthma for the other).
It’s scary.
