Directed at no one in particular, but why is there a discussion about the power going out due to Coronavirus? Is this speculation or is there a basis (link) for the discussion? I can't keep up with this thread. OMG.![]()
Www.NOLA.com .... four people in three States have virus after visiting New Orleans (Mardi Gras???)
Arkansas....Tennessee....?
Gack, the cases in my county, Santa Clara County, just jumped from 48 to 66 overnight, and out of 66, 31 are hospitalized!
That’s almost 5o%.... kind of different than the statistics I’ve come to expect.
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) - Public Health Department - County of Santa Clara
#COVID19 Italy total cases exceeds 15000 and death toll exceeds 1000.
Crude fatality rate now ~6.7%!
- Total cases: 1246215113
- Death toll: 8271016

Hadn't heard that one . . . not out here in So. Cal so far.
How coronavirus is straining the US legal system - CNNPolitics
''New York (CNN)Days before lawyers were set to square off this week in a New York City courtroom over a civil dispute between two financial institutions, a partner at one attorney's law firm tested positive for coronavirus. The trial was postponed for two weeks.
Federal courts in Connecticut and Massachusetts on Thursday postponed all jury trials until mid- to late-April. In Michigan, state courts have recommended halting all civil and criminal trials unless a defendant is in custody, as well as any hearings that include "vulnerable" people, such as those over 60 years old. In federal courthouses near Kirkland, Washington, one of the areas hardest hit by the virus, it's turned into a near ghost town — all trials and grand jury proceedings, which would affect prosecutions, are on hold. In Connecticut, there are 12 jury selections scheduled between now and April 10, according to the clerk of the court.
As concerns about the spread of the virus have escalated in recent days, actual infections and fear of the coronavirus have begun to grind the scales of justice in pockets of the country under states of emergency as judges, prison officials and lawyers struggle to balance the constitutional rights of defendants against the concerns that the public institutions could unwittingly become contamination sites.''
To be clear, I have not heard about it happening either, but I'm seeing discussion here about preparing for the possibility and I'm trying to figure out why some think that could happen...
ME TOO.....

Is there a poll yet on how many of us are wearing masks and/or gloves if we have to go out in public? I'm just curious. When I stocked up on rice on Monday/Tuesday and searched fruitlessly for hand sanitizer/aloe gel I only saw a handful of people with masks on. The situation might look different on Friday, but I'm not going to venture to the store to find out.

“We have to look out for each other." Former President Barack Obama asked for people to consider each other as they wonder why so many places are shutting down due to the coronavirus outbreak. cnn.it/38KIJSP
Being an Ohioan I have so many mixed feelings and reactions. Do I have it? My husband? My kids? My grandkids? My sister? Have I been worrying for weeks about us getting it when we already have it?

It looks like the morbidity rate in Washington is at 8%. Rsbm
