Same thing here in SF Bay Area. One of my coworkers missed a week of work. He looked like death. And almost all of us got it. One of my clients had it (after visiting Switzerland for the economic conference). Super bad cough. Low fever. Etc. I’ve been coughing for 30 days though I’m on the very tail end now. Lost my voice for a week.
I don’t know what to think of all this. If that was just the flu??? then what the hell is this going to do?
Here's an unexpected side effect from WuFlu that one would not necessarily anticipate- the homeless in Cincinnati downtown are increasingly aggressive and obnoxious. It's not directly because of the Corona, but it's because there is considerably less pedestrian traffic because of the panic, and hence fewer monetary targets- as such, the parasites are becoming increasingly desperate and ruder than ever when they see someone walking in their direction. In the last two days alone, I have noticed this. Some stupid idiot tried to start a fight with me last night when I politely declined to give him a cigarette. I probably just have gotten into it with that fool, either that, or just fake cough to run him off, but that one probably doesn't even know enough to run off after that lol.

If the cornoanoids buy all of the available toilet paper, no worries- if it comes down to it, I'll order a few copies of the Witch memoirs ("What Happened") and use that a substitute, or perhaps I'll buy multiple copies of New York Times for that purpose.
My wife said a woman she works with knows a Wal Mart store manager and they said starting Monday there will be no more food trucks. If true, this is absolutely nuts*

We are all gonna die!
Apparently. I can’t believe the way this has gone. It’s pure insanity. But... I guess it makes sense with the media constantly fear mongering.
Well if a guy from the Internet’s wife knows a woman who knows a guy at WalMart, I’m definitely all ears.
Yeah man, I totally bet all the toilet paper I own on it.
Again, huge grain of salt. But if you haven’t watched the overreaction to this point and don’t think it’s in the realm of possibility, I don’t know what to tell you.
The governor of IL going on a Twitter rent blaming the president for the O'Hare mess is hilarious. Sounds like a you problem to me mr governor.
I don't think we're there yet but we will be soon. Our supply chain is not set up for weeks of panic hoarding. There will undoubtedly be shortages soon.
That's why this frenzy induced panic is so irresponsible especially considering the symptoms of this thing

Agreed. I told my wife if that does happen, the media is to blame for treating this thing like the end of times.

went to Walmart yesterday
A lot of the junk food was gone
Plenty of produce and healthy options available though

I still find it bizarre and noteworthy that all experts, every single one I read or hear, all base their entire data models based on two almost surely failed premises:
1) the data from China cannot be trusted. I know some people say they lie to keep their numbers low. Maybe. Maybe not. Either way we should not just accept their data as given.
2) the first covid 19 patient was Jan 21. This was only the first confirmed. There was almost surely cases prior. Likely several. Maybe thousands. Maybe millions.
So we know they're applying incomplete data against untrustworthy data. Nothing nearly concrete enough to warrant this level of panic inducing nonsense. Especially given the symptoms. Especially when compared to other viral outbreaks.

Oh.... guess you are checking the talking points of yesterday. Better get the updated version.
I agree. I just a read a mfer praising China for their swift and great response to COVID-19.
The worst part about all this junk is it will drag out to next flu season, and this current wave of fear will likely go through summer. We haven’t even heard from California, have we? Those idiots are out there swimming in feces. Those idiots are going to come out in a few months and tell us their entire state is infected and we most do something! We need hope and change! The entire state will riot and burn.
If these mfers f with SEC football man...

Great article imo on the spread of Cv-19 & value of restricting contacts. Canuck no less:
"When it was still a strictly Chinese crisis, we all boned up on epidemiological ideas like the “basic reproduction number,” denoted as R₀ in math lingo. R₀ represents the average number of new infections that one case can be expected to create in a non-immunized population.
Each disease, or strain of a disease, has an approximate R₀ that is “natural” to it — a propensity for infectivity. The initial R₀ for the new virus in China appears to have been between two and three: it is a little more aggressive than regular influenza, but classic infectious menaces like smallpox and polio start at five or higher. Measles is in the teens."
"The “zero” in R₀ is important, because as a community takes social and political steps to reduce transmission, it can reduce the real-world reproductive number. It becomes no longer “basic” R₀, but just R for a particular time and place. Reducing R is the goal of the shutdown measures taken with suddenness this week. If the average reproductive number goes below one, you are winning the fight. Mainland China’s extreme communist measures cut it to something like 0.3 or even 0.2."

This is a good thing in that it shows the true nature of these harmless individuals.
How do you know the supply chain can't keep up? There's just so much people can afford to hoard. As the value of hoarding dies down, suppliers will catch up & then shut their production down as no one will be buying.
Yea, how the hell do you hoard bananas, salad ingredients, milk, & fresh meat beyond your freezing capacity?
First off alot of items come China. Maybe not the food itself but containers and items used in shipping. All that is disrupted already.
Many other items come from other countries impacted. That is or will be disrupted as everyone basically shuts down.
Due to actual or feared illness, many workplaces will be forced to either shut down or send sick people home. This is already happening. Without that human capital, production stops or at least slows.
I don't think you, and many others, realize the steps most companies are ready to take based on advice they're getting. If this panic doesn't let up in the next 5 days, we're going to really see some bad fallout.
May be time for rationing. hoarders gonna hoard.
Iran now asking for reprieve from sanctions, with the help of a sympathetic msm of course.
Now we know why those photos of "mass graves" started circulating on social media yesterday

Ohio governor just said he’s certainly looking at shutting down bars and restaurants.
That will be fun! It’s gonna happen eventually, and boy it won’t be pretty.

I’m sure the media will continue to feed this panic until the worst possible end. It’s their agenda now since everything else they’ve tried has failed.
That’s a little harsh, but she is hard to listen to. She seems much older than 43.
You people are part of the problem, not the solution.
But I'll throw you a bone here... for once, I agree with AOC 100% and 100% disagree with the sentiments of Katie, which may be prevalent around you in KY or on the Catpaw or whatever.
DeWine is definitely over the top, what is he doing?
