    I won't disagree with that as far as stock holders and CEO's go. I ask how many Americans work for these cruise liners that could loose their jobs if some go under. How will this effect any of the U.S. airports, food suppliers. Now I'll never go on a cruise but I hear those that do consume a lot of food and drink.
    I'm thinking and please prove me wrong, they put more into the US economy than the Kennedy center or a couple of other Nancy pork chops.

    That's what got us, Jan and Feb when we spread it around and had no idea. Would like to see how many were hospitalized with symptoms for those two months.

    I am 90% sure my son had in Feb, he had it all. Fever, cough, and shortness of breath. It took him 3 weeks before he was fully recovered. I was home with him and now the times I saw him struggle to catch his breath and I did nothing, Father of year. Besides, suck it up you'll be fine.

    Wonder what that graph would look like if you only compared NYC with Wuhan

    Ehhhh, I personally don't believe that China is still giving data or even testing. Secondly I believe that NYC is the Epicenter only because we are going crazy on testing and only doing that to bolster the Rep of Cuomo. Please ppl that have no knowledge of this man be warned. He is the biggest scumbag politician and he could run as a conservative Republican or libertarian and I still wouldn't vote for the piece of s*** . Pelosi and Schumer are his only rivals when it comes political deprivity.

    My mom and uncle have been been pulled over in the last week asking where they were going. But there's also a news story from local channel said to call in if that's happened. It's not supposed to be

    State Police said they would not be stopping people checking where they were going, still need probably cause to perform a stop.

    This county is a ghost town. About a half a million people give or take, 100,000 of which are school aged kids and one hardly sees any kid outside. I feel bad for the kids mostly.

    That will not be happening any time soon. If we don't have enough tests to detect active cases, you have to know there are currently no serum tests out there to do this.

    It does need to happen so that the experts can model this virus.

    And that it mutates into a less virulent strain just like SARS-1.

    I don’t remember where I seen that data but if my memory serves me it was around 20% are hospitalized and 20% of that group needs ICU level care. Of course it’s a moving target and I’m not sure we’ll ever know for sure.

    Don't feel bad when I was in second grade I got hit by a car. Other than pissing my pants and my bike destroyed I was fine. My dad got home looked at my bike and grounded me because I was supposed to be doing yard chores instead of screwing around on my bike.

    My county update. Was 265 results pending yesterday. Down to 98 with 2 new cases, 1 resident and one non. Pretty good numbers considering the spike that occured with statwide total

    We have 19 positives so far in this county and the number is expected to jump quick.

    So Pelosi came out today and said she is looking to the next round of sausage stuffing.
    That woman needs a big letter C hung around her neck.
