    I'm not happy a big game is about to be on at our new stadium here in North Qld tomorrow night. People that don't care about anyone but themselves will fly in to see it just so they can see the stupid game. Sorry but men kicking a ball is not as important as lives to me. Why is it not called off? Oh yes.. money.

    I don't live there so not answering but am asking so others can as to why you say "I really need to go on this trip" I guess that is important here so someone might give a proper answer.

    Wondering if buying into the stock market ATM would be a good idea? Kind of a joke. But not.

    No one can really say with surety but if it were me, I'd wait. It depends on how badly people NEED to travel and how risky it'd be if/when they contracted the virus. :(
    I think so many people are passing this around because they're in denial, are ignorant of how bad it's getting or are just ignorant(as in the sports player who touched someone's camera and tested positive for it). :(
    If it were me, I'd put whatever I possibly could, on hold and hunker down in my cocoon. :(

    Does it bother anyone else that our very own president seems to be *just* coming to grips with reality himself? Is he still out there shaking hands being up close and personal??? Anybody else see a possible dire problem with him infecting so many "important" people? Shouldn't HE be one of the first to model best practices?

    Did he test positive before or after?? To me, if it was after, that should be a criminal charge waiting to happen. :( If it was before, he should've been heavily advised to self-quarantine.
    WTF is wrong with people?

    Yep and one of his teammates had visited a local high school and had contact with students and teachers. Now other teammates testing positive. No telling how many other NBA players they've had contact with in the last week or so. 😬
    I went to the store this morning for allergy meds, saw shelves empty of toilet paper, soap, and lysol. So guess who got to go on a toilet paper hunt? People are panicking. It's making my anxiety go crazy.

    One mistake the government is making is still allowing travel back from countries where the virus is prevalent, like Korea. They should have stopped that already.

    My sister sent me that today and I thought of sharing it because it’s important to be informed.
    Not everyone agrees with that, as I already have one disagree but it’s ok.

    Well I caused a shitstorm at work today. A courier dropped a shipment off and I wouldn't sign his PDA . Told him my name and that was it. He told me I "had to" sign it. Nope. It's covered in fingerprints and snot/slime. Besides , signing with one finger looks like a squiggle on an isis flag anyway so.....

    Before work I was in a store and asked a guy who was stocking up on enough tp for the next 3 decades if he has a family of 26 and does he know covid-19 is a respiratory illness? Also to calm the *kitten* down and leave some for everyone else. I didn't say "oh yeah,and get off my lawn " maybe I should have 😎

    I'm on a roll today, Ill post any updates 😛


    I need to grow some balls like you for tomorrow I have people coming to fix something at my house and I wanna ask them to sanitize their hands before they come in...I have a bottle of sanitizer on the table by the front door to make it obvious but...

    Miss_zita, is that all reliable information? I'm not being snarky but am truly curious why that's not being talked about everywhere?? People will panic over runny noses, etc, causing undue stress and needless running to the dr. But putting important info out to the public would be very helpful! IMO This is the very first I've seen anything like this and let's face it, everybody's talking about it now and the world is plastering us with all sorts of info. So where has this been?
    Thank you for sharing it!

    I think suspension of the 2020 Census would be a good idea... census takers going door to door. We need to go online this year or suspend it for awhile. This isn't the flu or a hoax. I just watched NYC Mayor's press conference. As he said, any large venue can be used for a makeshift hospital. Large cafeterias, school gyms, conference centers. We'll adapt as we go. We'll have to have some tough conversations with visitors. Wanted or unwanted. Please leave your shoes at the door and wash your hands. Don't throw your mail or packages on the table where you eat and wash your hands after you're finished with it.

    I'm concerned about first responders. EMT's, mail and delivery people, all others on the front lines. Mayor said we're probably looking at the next 6 months and some rougher road ahead.

    Why do you really need to go? The recommendation in my state is not to cross state lines by any means until there is more of an understanding and handle on this...remember, this is only a couple of weeks old in the US. My work cannot restrict personal out of state travel, but we are requiring a 14 day quarantine for anyone who has traveled to an infectious area out of state or out of the country before returning to work.

    I had a road trip planned with my kiddos at the end of the month for spring break, and as a precaution I am canceling. The event we were going to is likely to be cancelled anyway.

    It was before...but why would he self quarantine, he hadn't been tested and had no symptoms. It was stupid AF, but he didn't know he had it yet which is why he was joking around about it.

    Well, my state is one of the few on the CDC's map of unaffected states, but we're surrounded on all sides, so I imagine it's only a short while before that changes. I've received numerous emails today about places in the area and how they expect to handle the infectious contagion should it become an issue (and I'm sure it will much like the flu is every year).

    An organization I volunteer with has decided to postpone one of its events until May and is possibly looking at cancelling others. Sad because they're events for children, but I understand.

    Went to the grocery store today (for groceries) and ran into "Toilet Paper-Gate" when I got to that aisle. All the toilet paper (even the expensive stuff) was gone. All the Lysol wipes and all the surface cleaners were wiped out. Odd thing is, they were still plenty stocked up on tissues. Guess it's a good thing I just wanted cat litter, cheese and some fruit. Yeesh.

    What I don't understand is... why wait until now to practice washing your hands and being clean? Just eww. Should have been doing that from the get go.
