    Practically every source I've read/heard. The former is a bit speculative but apparently there was some email or news story out initially that got suppressed in China which claimed some lab sketchiness and the latter I'm referring to the animal markets.

    Seems not unlikely to get at least one of those at all.

    This is particularly relevant for us because so many times we've heard or read that covid-19 is just another flu epidemic. Apparently not. The fatality ratio is higher than flu. There's no vaccine, no treatment, & no immunity (weird). The correlation between increased age and increased mortality (death) is very high. It's really bad for older folks, especially 70, 80, and 90 year olds. Kids can get it, and though seldom fatal, they can easily pass it around to those who have the most to lose... :(
    Covid-19 is different from flu and we must respond differently, former CDC director says - CNN

    not just some flu bug

    No joke if you have an Asian market where you live go there. They're the only stores not being ransacked at the moment... for obvious reasons

    That's a good idea, we do have an asian market here. They have a little restaurant inside too and they make the best dumplings.

    I went to a produce market and stocked up, then went to the grocery store and
    Here is the toilet paper aisle

    There were 3 packs of TP left. One man picked the larger one, then turned to me and offered it to me instead. I declined and grabbed a smaller pack and left the 3rd one for the next person to come along. And that, friends, is how civilized people should behave.

    Also received a call that a kid at my son's school is being quarantined for potential exposure to the virus so that's fun.

    A few minutes ago CNN reported Trump has been tested for Corona. We should know something tomorrow or Monday? Cases in America are now over 2200 positives.

    They reported a death in New York and one in El Paso County, Colorado. El Paso County is mostly military and Republican. Trump just went down there to give a speech. I can't wait for early voting in September. Maybe we'll get some good people in government then?
