What are your thoughts on the Coronavirus?

Personally I am a bit worried because of how fast it's spreading. I feel like the numbers may be a lot higher than what the media is telling us. Living in NYC makes it worst, due to amount of people living here. I take the Train and Bus daily to and from work. I try my best not to touch the Handles, Bars etc...

I think this is a man made virus, and it will backfire and ruin China's economy even further as both people AND goods will be kept out of other countries.

The spread is almost always higher than what the media reports.

@xixgun Consider that chickens are being frozen whole & shipped to China to be processed & returned back to us. Who wants to eat chicken that’s been handled & processed in China? No telling what could go wrong with that plan.

@Stereoguy Yes but how do you know? There is a law saying that they don’t have to be labeled as being processed in China. And I wouldn’t put it past restaurants, especially fast-food chains, to be buying this processed chicken to serve to customers. And maybe a lot of the frozen processed chicken items sold in grocery stores.

@Stereoguy They could inject it with anything. I don’t think we should be importing any foods from China now.

@Stereoguy Saw a show on The Doctors where they were talking about the bedbug epidemic. Said that linens of all types being shipped from Southeast Asia can have bedbugs in them even if they are enclosed in zippered plastic bags. The factories have them & they crawl over the linens and get folded inside the bag & can survive up to a year or more being warehoused & shipped in cargo containers. They said department stores are having a problem trying to eradicate them too.
