Novel Coronavirus 2020 megathread

[Socalman]

Well, for us the corona, covid-19 virus has hit very close to home. A local middle school has had a student test positive for the virus. Our next door neighbors have a son who attends that school. We may not socialize very closely the next month!

Yesterday the wife and I made our typical early in the month Costco run. It was so odd to see so many people buy the 2 case maximum of waters. We are good we have water for about a month. The odd thing is, the tap water will be just fine if we are all quarantined.

We are not changing much in terms of our habits. Life goes on. It is believed that the fatality rate of this virus is just a bit higher than the typical flu. However since we both fall into that "elderly" category we are being a bit cautious, not going to extra crowds like games, concerts, etc.

The case fatality rate increases substantially if you are over the age of 60. Up to 15-20% for those over 80.
