It might not kill me, but what would I do without @Piper? 😣

well, i just heard of the first case in my area. a 70-something year old man was admitted to a specially designated/quarantined area of the ICU today at a hospital less than ten miles from me.

i'm wondering if this virus has a "season".

edit: patient has an underlying condition and has recently traveled outside the continental U.S.

a spokes-doctor said, [quote]"It's not been confirmed with the CDC but we're highly confident that's going to be verified."[/quote]

patient is quarantined and there is room if more arrive.

No. The fear-mongering over it is completely out of control.

Not anymore that getting the flu does.

Kinda sorta.
I can't stop living just because there's a chance of contracting it... I'll just live cautiously until it dies down.

🤔...Nope...With my health issues my days are numbered...so whats a couple of years....

Nope, but how people react to it and take it as an opportunity to be paranoid does.

Not really. I take good care of myself, and I'm always washing my hands anyway.

No.. i believe in the theory that they are just trying to scare us all 🙄🙄🙄

whatever is happening is happening for the good. It all happens for a reason.. as the world needs a change as to how life is lived, and how things are conducted. It was impossible to control China, but looks like they determined their own end. The world is now gifted with time to think and a long deserved rest.

Yes, pretty much.

Nope.

Not one iota..

No, if I die I die,no biggy

Nein

not yet.

No, I'm excited about it actually. Hope it kills lots of people.

it's time to start worrying when medical conventions are being cancelled

Not particularly but there have been two cases diagnosed in my town yesterday

One case here. No deaths.

If I die, I die ... I'm OK with that. What scares me is if somebody I love dies.

No not at all

Nope.

Not really. I'm just worried the government will overreact further, disrupting our lives.

nope.
