Deja Vu

Will stick with Happy Birthday; I know the words.

Or "If you're happy and you know it, wash your hands." Twice, of course.

"Sounds like we need to prepare for something much bigger..."

King5 News Anchor just now, after listening to VP Pence at news conference in Pierce County, WA

I'm starting to really worry, friends.

I agree, Seattle is the "hot spot".

Well, from the looks of the twenty white people on the dais just now with VP Pence...yes.

CBS Facts not Fear Coronavirus on now - going to see what they say and check how it matches what we know from reading about this for the last couple of months.

We knew this was coming.

It’s a whole nother ballgame when it finally arrives.

I’ve been feeling for you guys in California, Washington, Oregon, ETC the past few days.

@gitana1 , how have you been doing the past few days? Are you going about your regularly scheduled activities, etc?

I appreciate hearing what everybody is doing, or not doing.

This reminds me, Dr. Nancy and Dr. Tedros have said (paraphrasing) this isn’t a one size shoe fits all. Responses and approaches may be different based on your area.

#COVID19 spreading fast in many countries. Below, countries with >50 cases per latest available report, cases by onset date. @who supporting efforts to try to contain wherever possible - the right strategy. Even if we can't contain, efforts to do so will blunt impact of spread. Dr. Tom Frieden on Twitter

I just landed at JFK after reporting on #coronavirus in Milan and Lombardy —the epicenter of Italy’s outbreak— for
@vicenews
. I walked right through US customs. They didn’t ask me where in Italy I went or if I came into contact with sick people. They didn’t ask me anything.

I actually a read recent research study identifying genetic differences between anthropological races and concluding that those in Asia (mongoloid) are at higher risk of death from the virus.

I'm stunned he fessed up to it. JMO
