Well...we're gonna wanna cancel elections anyway, on account of how they spread the foreign virus.

Just thinking that the worst thing that could happen is for Trump to come down with Covid-19 and survive it...
Just thinking about it makes my eye twitch.

Is there some connection between this virus and TP? The shelves are "wiped" out.

I think people are worried about communities being placed on lockdown. That’s the sort of thing that leads to panic buying.

That is a head-scratcher, isn't it?
I went to pick up a few groceries yesterday and everything seemed to be stocked as normal...until the TP aisle. All the big packs were gone but there were some smaller packages at inflated prices. I didn't bother to wander over to the hand sanitizer section. My daughter says disinfectant wipes and sprays are MIA along with the TP.

There are plenty of highly contagious nasties abound at my workplace, and our facility simply doesn't have enough face masks for safe and appropriate use. As a result we've had a high number of sick staff members, with a few requiring hospitalization.
And we haven't even been slammed with COVID-19 yet.
I wake up every morning shocked that I am still well...Lol.

According to the CDC, the symptoms are a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, a triad that applies to a shitton of diseases. And given that the death rate is a little more than 2%, mostly older people, I’m finding it harder to understand what exactly the fuss is about. What exactly makes this different from other respiratory diseases that go around? Besides its apparently lasting longer, and having a known source of the outbreak? Is there something I’m missing?
It's new.
It apparently has a much higher mortality rate than the most serious respiratory infectious diseases in the US.
There is a lot about it we do not yet know. For instance, morbidity, mortality, how it's spread, who has it, what the best disinfectant is, etc.
The President is a loose cannon and is not sharing accurate information with the country.
The incubation is very long, so people have a lot of opportunity to spread it before they know to quarantine themselves.
There is no vaccine.
The diagnostic has just been developed and isn't widely available for distribution yet.
We have a huge number of people in the country without health insurance or the money to pay for care
The numbers projected by epidemiologists make this a potentially overwhelming disease, as has already been demonstrated in Italy.
