We just got news my granddaughter, 9 yrs old, is negative for Coronavirus but positive for Influenza B. She has an extreme case, very ill. She is highly contagious. So far other family members are okay but may show signs earlier next week. Doctors were really sure it was Coronavirus and surprised them with the test results.

So everyone besides Coronavirus these is Influenza B and A That also are just as serious for people.

Oh no. My gosh that's terrible news. So sorry to hear that. I'm sure we will all pray for your family, or send you good vibes, love, everything we can.

President now states "we've ordered a large number of respirator mask but we're not going to need them I'm sure we're not going to need them".

Does not know when they will be delivered.

WOW.... WHO, China, Italy, all world leaders, the CDC are all in kahoots to create world panic. First I've heard of a hoax.

So sorry this hoax has disrupted your life.
Moo

I don't get it. It reminds me of people denying tragic events. People are dying. We should be concerned.

So many vulnerable lives are in the hands of people who may not be taking this seriously. I have several family members who are over 60 fighting cancer. One of whom additionally has pneumonia. I hope everyone will take the proper precautions for the many unfortunate people who are at risk and feel like sitting ducks.

It’s almost impossible to work from home with satellite internet. A lot of rural areas only have that option.
Hughesnet is one such provider and it’s so bad it has its own Facebook page “HughesNet Sucks”
Enough said....

You're preaching to the choir.

Hughesnet is my only option.

President calls for 'solidarity' to tackle Covid-19 in St Patrick's message

(IRELAND)

PRESIDENT MICHAEL D Higgins has called for people to follow the example of St Patrick in showing “solidarity” for fellow citizens as the world grapples with the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19.

In his annual St Patrick’s Day message, Higgins says that people should “follow the values embodied in the story of St Patrick”.

“Those values of solidarity and concern for the well-being of our fellow citizens will play a fundamental role in our effective confronting of the challenge with which we are now presented,” he says.

The hoax is the mass hysteria of continuing to doom and gloom, not the virus, Just as our president said, but unfortunately some people only listen to the opinion news of the world, (CNN, etc). My state gives information, not opinion. We do not use could be, or might be, just the facts. The virus is to be taken serious, just as the flu, but the media as well as social media needs to always make a crisis out of everything. The virus has not disrupted my life, how kind of you to feel sorry for me, but I'm just fine. MOO

Not the flu again. Do your homework, this is absolutely not the flu. Sorry you feel this way, probably not the best thread to be on then...so many cases need worked! Take Care! MOO

What sports are you watching? I thought everything had been cancelled.

We have local boys state basketball tournaments going on this weekend. They are closed to fans, but are being televised. Also yesterday I watched ski jumping, from ?. Sports are still continuing, maybe not with fans, or crowds.

This is why talk of herd immunity is so dangerous and why this virus must be taken seriously by EVERYONE

People who fully recover from the coronavirus can be left with '20 to 30%' less lung function, and gasping for breath when they walk quickly, Hong Kong doctors find

But part of EVERYONE includes people that pay zero attention to their health, period. Look at the chain smoking, obesity, alcoholism, addiction & other self inflicted diseases. I don’t see a certain sector of the world taking this “seriously”. Especially knowing there is no cure or reason for most of us to see a doctor or be tested.
A big Friday night, so many will be out on the town, so many already sick with the virus that already infected their close contacts will be out shedding the virus at the restaurants, theaters, malls, big box stores, bars.....it won’t end. Moo

Trump looks ill. He looks like something is going on.

There were a couple of times I thought he might fall over. He looks awful.

Following is just a health tip, passed on by my SIL:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some good tips on prevention of caronavirus....

Received this from a friend who has a doctor friend. Sounds reasonable to me.

Subject Fwd:
This info is from my friend that works for CDC that passed this along to his family and friends.

I'm passing it along as well.. The new NCP coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days, how can one know if he/she is infected. By the time they have fever and/or cough and goes to the hospital, the lungs is usually 50 % Fibrosis and it's too late!

Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning: Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness, etc.,it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection.

In critical times, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.

SERIOUS EXCELLENT ADVICE by Japanese Doctors treating COVID-19 cases: Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat is moist, never DRY.

Take a few sips of water every 15 mins at least. WHY? Even if the virus gets into your mouth...drinking water or other liquids will WASH them down through your esophagus into the stomach. Once there in tummy...your stomach ACID will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly....the virus can enter your windpipes and into the LUNGS. That's very dangerous. Pls send and share with family, friends and everyone.”

I thought so too. His voice is much weaker than usual. See where he is in a day or two.
