Testing at Iowa’s State Hygienic Laboratory has indicated three presumptive positive cases of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Iowa residents. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), the individuals are from Johnson County: one middle-age (41-60 years) adult and two older adults (61-80). Two of the individuals had underlying health conditions. One did not. None required hospitalization and are recovering at home in isolation.

Is Free Republic the national information repository for the flu? Is every case going to be reported for the next 18 months?

Which goes to show that even if you are elderly and have underlining health issues, if you get the mild case of this virus you will be fine

How ‘bout some non-stop updates of the 88,000 alcohol - related deaths....

Is there nothing else the Talking heads can discuss?!!

Create a Crisis, any Crisis to get rid of Trump !

Surely, all this hand-washing will also help lower flu numbers

For anyone wondering why the panic level is at code red, consider:

EVERY case is, mild or serious, blasted on social media, traditional media, message boards. Unless one literally unplugs from the modern world, it’s unavoidable.

People who follow local affiliated on social media will see the same COVID stories several times a day.

I don’t recall this level of doom with H1N1, and the earlier days at the pandemic were damn scary as the virus was hell for young people, kids and the elderly. The first few cases in the USA were kids.

It’s to the point that they need to release statistics once a day, in the evening. I know people that are literally refreshing the John Hopkins site every ten minutes. How healthy is that?

If it wasn’t reports about COVID19, the boards would just be inundated with topics about NFL, XFL, and NCAA football. It’s a choice between individual updates about the virus, or individual threads about the newest assistant physical trainer hiring for the Miami Dolphins.

“How do I get WIFI on my old W7 computer that doesn’t HAVE WIFI ?”

_______

Try an AM radio:)

WIFI (1460 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a variety radio format. Currently the radio station is broadcasting with a 5,000-watt signal and is located in Burlington, New Jersey.

I wish the mods would make one sidebar topic, and all of this stuff can be posted there.

When these guys roll out of bed at noon, they can just post there all day long.

My Comcast modem is a WIFI that my smart TV's pick up on .... I assumed (newer) computers had the same capability.

I run desk tops ... fat fingers and bad eyes are not for swiping nor cel phones.

Our son, who was a cop for several years, said that if there were no alcohol, it would reduce the need for police by a significant amount. ;-)
