how about Disneyland and SeaWorld?

Disneyland, Ca. plans to stay open, but have instructed its cast members to wash their hands often. There are very few events that rise to the level of closing Disneyland. I think the only time was on 9/11.

Philly Flyers were on their way to go far in the playoffs, first time in a while. But this is truly the best thing. This virus stays "alive" by jumping from person to person. Let's kill this bugger by not allowing that. JMO

@Oregonmama Hope you are doing well.

We are doing good. Its getting crazier out there and we are safely at home watching ppl panic when ppl should have prepared weeks ago....

So, they don't know if she's 15 or up to 25 years old? That's quite an age span. what gives?

Sounds like a HIPAA thing. By giving an age range they can show the patient is in what one would consider a "low-risk" age category, without giving any more specific information that might compromise her healthcare privacy.

Where's baseball?

I’m failing to understand his magical 250 number.

Yes. I think any more than about 50 people is a big risk.

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS?
Italy has 60 million people....US has 300 million.
5 times more....with simple math, we could be faced with 15,000 cases A DAY.....

*NOT UNLESS WE DON'T TEST FOR THE VIRUS*

Then we can have 1 new case a day.....

*NOT UNLESS WE DON'T TEST FOR THE VIRUS*

We will physically be dealing with many cases whether or not they are tested.

Wow at first I was thinking this wouldn't get too big and hopefully some kind of handle would be put on it. But, I will be the first to admit that I am a little scared. We do not have any cases in our county in TX but there are cases in each of the counties around us. This is getting way bigger than I thought.

You prob have cases, they have not been tested & don’t need medical intervention. Moo

Listening to Biden and halfheartedly planning to plant cabbage and collards. I can't find my trowel.
