Corona Virus are you ready?

[CDONA]

I put a virus starter kit together from my wildfire smoke starter kit.

Kinda seems like, if the mask is mostly for preventing you from infecting others, the exhaust flap would negate that.

 

[mean dad]

Aren't you the one that pointed out a partially closed window lets in less air than a wide open one (or something similar)?

 

[byke]

Me? Don't recall that, but I love analogies, so it certainly seems like something I'd say. And of course it's true.

I'm armed, I have supplies. I won't be needing them, not will anyone else.

In a word, no (answer to OP).

It sounds like coronavirus is like rhinovirus. Here for good with periodic outbreaks. Based on what I read, i don't even think a vaccine will ever stop it.

I got my hair cut yesterday. My barber was onto some yarn where Bill Gates was responsible for funding research on a super-vaccine, so the Corona was invented in Canada (create a superbug so you can create a super-vaccine!) but made its way to China. So I read up today and discovered that Gates has been warning about pandemics for years and pledged 100 million to fight this one.

I love me some conspiracy theories.

Larry Kudlow says the virus is contained. Whew what a relief.

I think the best thing I can do if this virus comes to SD is be a hermit. im totally fine with continuing that

Stocked up on toilet paper and other supplies last night at Costco.

Upside: I'll be selling individual rolls of TP for $$$s when the entire nation is locked down.

Downside: The chance of exposure at Costco is likely 100% so I'm probably infected. :laughing

Well I'm screwed. Will walk to Mike's place

I think it is going to be a big deal, potentially overwhelming our hospitals for a period of time. Not much you can do except isolate, wash hands, etc.

I expect that once it starts spreading, colleges are going to have to close. It would not surprise me if we all lose a year from an economy/education perspective.

Agree, I think its going to hit here first as well considering we already have a case and no one has any idea how that person contracted it. I think in 2 weeks we are going to see a whole bunch of people around the bay area coming down with it.

I ride BART every day so I am considering it an eventuality that I will probably get it. Literally considering buying another street bike to commute on so that I can avoid the Train.

Agreed.

I heard this morning that an entire state getting quarantined is on the table...I think that California would be a likely candidate, all things considered.

Well, I'll be starting a road trip to deliver my wife's TSX to Miami on March 3rd so hopefully they don't shut down the Interstates! :laughing

Indio, Las Cruces, Austin for three days, New Orleans for three days, old town Orlando for 2 days, Miami for 11 days then get on Flu Concentration Tube and fly back to SF.

Hopefully I survive. :thumbup

So incoming/outgoing freight trucks stopped at the border carrying everything including food supplies?

Don't see that happening at all.

Do you think they'll care at the Federal level?

 

[Melissa]

not panicking but prepared to ride out of the danger zone and keep on going.....all the way to ...wait, there will be no safe place really. I guess I'll remain at home with my dogs and hope for the best.

 

[GAJ]

I think shutting down all travel within a State would create another crisis, don't you?

You and I can agree on that, but, again, do you think they'll care at the Federal level? (Trying to keep this non-political).

Bring some of that duck
