Coronavirus conference 'cancelled due to coronavirus' Coronavirus conference 'cancelled due to coronavirus'

like a week ago he said it was a hoax and less than a week ago he said ppl should just go to work if they feel sick and not worry

And you have a link? I'm believing every day we have new information and details along with administration reaction. Heaven forbid he change his message as new info is revealed.

Yeah, @MJPeony , to answer your question about “anyone psychosomatic”, yes have been for days, keep feeling for a fever, feeling a weird sensation in my chest but I think and hoping it’s anxiety. Add the hot flashes and...I was literally dripping sweat the other day, remember (hence the no deodorant as a good form of “social distancing”), but surely that was anxiety!!

Again, bad week to quit sniffing glue.

Hoping to God I wasn’t exposed during those last few grocery runs and Uber rides.

I think I’m going to take some vitamins, call it an early night and get some rest.

The White House has clarified one of the key details about Trump’s measures.

The president said that trade and cargo from Europe would be banned along with passengers. But the administration later said that the president misspoke and that trade would continue between the US and Europe.

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

And of course, there are no people arriving from Europe with this trade and cargo! Right.

What is going to happen within the mass prison system we have in the USA? Prisoners have rights too, and hopefully they will not be neglected when the virus hits. However, we already know that the prison system in this country is majorly corrupt. Lots of institutionalized and systematic ummmm…..let's say issues that affect certain types of individuals

I’m kind of nervous as I had a mammogram on Friday & a stress test yesterday both at medical faculty that is attached to a local hospital & since yesterday evening I have had a sore throat. This morning I woke up with shortness of breath, as well as the sore throat and a mild low-grade fever. Tonight my breathing is more labored & my nose is running. I also have a compromised immune system.
I am praying like crazy that I don’t have the virus. I’m going to contact my Dr now via the local portal. I’m hoping to get an appointment ASAP.

You are doing all the right things. I am sure this is very unsettling. Please keep us posted and know we all send you healing thoughts.

In case you missed this important post from Tricia, I remind you again.

Is the president’s PC off limits too?
Just wondering if everything he says is not allowed to be posted

The public health officer for Seattle and King County just said schools should prepare for shutdowns that could last months.
“We expect a large-scale outbreak in weeks, and this will be a very difficult time."

In Australia, travel agencies and airlines are among Australian stocks smashed by Donald Trump’s decision to close US borders to travel from Europe.

Flight Centre stock tumbled almost 18% by 1.30pm on Thursday afternoon while online rival Webjet was down 14.6%. Shares in Australia’s flag carrier, Qantas, were down 10.4%.

All three stocks have been consistently sold down since the market first began its coronavirus slide on 21 February.

I feel very sorry for the thousands of airline employees who are having to take unpaid leave or are being made redundant.

As is his wont, Jimmy Kimmel hit the streets of Los Angeles to see what people are saying about coronavirus. The results weren't super encouraging.

I prefer Conan for Late Night, but this is still amusing. Well, and frightening

Hopefully not rioting and loss of life like in Italy.

The facts of what the Pres said can be posted, but no opinions pro or con.

Interesting. I wonder if other countries will start to complain that the US is taking this TOO seriously now. lol

Why on earth can the world just not agree to bring all travel to a stand still?

let’s all just stay home for a month and get this cleared away so we can resume our lives sooner rather than later.


I just want this over with and if I need to stay home for a few weeks but then this is majorly cleared up so be it.


Am I alone in thinking like this?


IMO

We have thousands angry that their kid isn’t going to be able to show their pig or cow or whatever at the Houston rodeo. Not even kidding. They think this whole thing is ridiculous, the media has blown it completely out of proportion, and there was no reason to cancel the rest of the rodeo.

So, to answer your question, no, I don’t think all (or even most, sadly) folks would be on board with self quarantining for a few weeks to put a stop to this virus.

They’ve got pigs and cows to show. Among other asinine reasons why people can’t pause their life to stop a pandemic.

Priscilla Presley insists on safe sex in this classic scene from Naked Gun

There is still hope! Do you think that this outfit would be over the top for work next week?

I fear we all need to wear the body condom! If ever we feel safe to leave home......
