Corona Virus

It's not here yet that we know of. Only travelers and I think one community transmission. Also, it will probably have been here for at least a two weeks when we discover it. In terms of fatalities, that can take about a month from the time you show symptoms until you finally die. This is why you see that huge open cases stat but a relatively small closed cases stat.

We are also set up for a big surprise because we have a ridiculous health care system where a lot of people cannot realistically afford to pay hundreds of dollars (if not thousands) to show up at an ER just because they have flu-like symptoms. Welcome to consequences for bad public policies.

I thought you guys got free medical care. Anyway, I will have to discuss it with my doctor. I think my kids did get vaccines for it. I got them all. My son gets one tomorrow. I'll ask.

Yes, everybody in the UK does get free healthcare, but certain vaccines are not issued for free unless you are classed as "elderly" :mad:..

It's in America -- probably under-reported

And I agree with your last statement. Most of us have to be dying before we will step foot in an ER because we can't afford it.
I have a stash of inhalers. I buy one every time my doc offers one even if I have enough. My neighbor has a stash of antibiotics she gets from her vet. (Gave me some once and saved me over $100 for a UTI).

Coronavirus Map

There's a map -- don't know about the accuracy. Corona will enter Florida during spring break.
 
That virus has arrived in Grait Britain, Germany,
France and Italy. I am from the north of Italy and contagious people are not far more than 300 km. PROBABLY LESS. From the mainstream TV (reliable sources) at 8 PM of today February the 22nd 2020 that are the news. I don't know what to think but that's not funny.. holy shit
 
It's pretty much everywhere by now. The American CDC is not even testing for community transmission right now. The only way they will test you is if you either recently traveled to China or were in close contact with somebody they know to be infected. Thus, literally nobody who was a victim of community transmission will ever even be allowed in their pipeline to be tested.

They are not even really trying to stop it. I think they gave up. They are in damage control mode, trying to keep the fragile globalist economy from collapsing on itself.
