I am glad to see they are acting responsibly.

Now what is that Apple founder doing since he thinks he was Patient 0. Probably still walking around the masses.

Yep. 1 county over from mine.

Interesting that I flew to Comumbus, OH 2 weeks ago. Got sick and still feeling less than 75%. Thankfully no fever but being sick sucks. I think the worst I have is a stress headache from all this. Hoping it doesn’t hurt my small business.

OK, it’s next door now. I take back what I said earlier: I’m still going to stock back up on toilet paper and bar soap, but the yard sale for the last stockpiling of Vienna sausages is OFF!

Wow - didn't know the cold had a 3% mortality rate (36% if you are in King Country, WA). Good to know. Thanks!

It’s not a 3% mortality. 0.46% from the largest non China cohort ( South Korea). Please....get a grip

It’s not .46% in Italy. It’s 2.6. It’s not .46 in Iran. It’s not even .46% here - right now it is 6. Math a problem for you? Guess so.

By then, I’ll be packing them in a cooler with ice and taking them as snacks when I’m fishing at the county lake. Much better with mustard and crackers than a pocket full of Slim Jims.

Weird. Why do you think so many on here are named Mary? Do you have some kind of obsession with a Mary in your past?
