    Novel Coronavirus 2020 megathread

    I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been posted yet, or atleast that I have seen. What are everyones thoughts with the new Coronavirus that is currently making the rounds? It has so far surpassed both MERS and SARS in total confirmed cases in an incredibly short time span. What are you doing to prepare for it, if anything?

    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    Currently I'm just being extra careful in public. Keeping a filtered mask in my drawer at work. Wearing it when a client is coughing. Washing my hands religiously, avoiding shaking hands by keeping mine full.

    Not doing anything about it. I don't think it is any more deadly than most other bugs. It is just spreading faster.

    Me like. Maybe I'll drive the 10 miles to the Pro football hall of fame and do the same thing ; maybe throw some coughing in for extra effect.Oh and add the 1,000 mile stare .

    Y'all might get a laugh, I went to the grocery store this morning and took a swig of my coffee. It went down the wrong pipe and I started coughing, lady behind me in the aisle started to freak out. Her friend popped her on the arm and told her to calm down that I had just had the coffee go down the wrong pipe and asked me if I was okay. told her yes, I swallowed a bug, got a laugh from them. The lady did apologize for over reacting but sheez, People are getting antsy around here as no one knows what to believe right now. Read a post on Modern Survival from someone who has a brother over in So K, Owner of the site knows the poster and allowed it to be posted as he trusted the poster. Brother is a minister and has been in contact with some of his fellow Chinese ministers. Minister says it's 100 times worse than the Government is letting on from what his fellow ministers have said.

    I haven't been very active in some time. I came down with something in Early Dec and still haven't gotten over it. It has kicked my butt. Started as a sinus infection and cough, developed wheezing pretty bad and now after 5 Dr visits, 2 rounds of anitbiotics, 2 rounds of Steroids, and now 3 weeks on a nebulizer I go to see a Pulmanary Dr tomorrow, hopefully they can sort it out and get me on the road to getting over this crap. Last few weeks I've been getting some strange looks when I go out. Folks at work have been asking if I have Coronavirus. Nope I tell them, just tryin to hock up a lung.

    I have been trying to track this and expect things are probably 10 times what is being told. Economic conditions are gonna take a hit, even if this ends soon. And I don't expect that to happen.

    bp praying you get better quickly. I'm sure we're going to see a lot of people going a nutty over this. Stock market went down 1000 points today and the things DH was seeing on the areas he reads said it sounded a bit panicky but one pundit said it's a good time to buy as prices are coming down. We'll be sitting tight and hope this thing gets over as soon as possible but we aren't holding our breaths.
