Per the CDC... 630,000 people are expected to die of Cancer in 2019.

There will be 1.9 million new cases of cancer diagnosed.

Stats are for the United States.

Add in other ailments, car accidents, workplace deaths, accidental deaths, etc., this Chinese Bat Flu won't even register.

People need to chill the fuck out.

Other health experts/officials claim they do or they might.

Went to the Dollar Store because I needed pasta. Dude in line had three carts of TP. Stuffed full and nearly falling out.

Almost everyone in line had multiple packs of TP.

I don’t get it.

Sometimes you just have to let the herd run itself out to exhaustion. Just try to stay out of the path of the stampede.

Was it an old dude? Maybe he was one of those jerks buying .22lr at WallyWorld during the last ammo panic and reselling it...

When you put unlimited as much as you want olive oil and crushed red pepper in your spagbetti sauce, it all makes sense.

Not sure if this has been posted.

YouTube Video: Joe Rogan Interview with Michael Osterholm, an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology.

Michael Osterholm is an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. He is Regents Professor, McKnight Presidential Endowed Chair in Public Health, the director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, a professor in the Technological Leadership Institute, College of Science and Engineering, and an adjunct professor in the Medical School, all at the University of Minnesota. Look for his book "Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Deadly Germs" for more info.

**** Note: The interviewee mentions his book, so perhaps his intentions are suspect

Please don't take this as my doubting you. I hope you are right. Can you produce a link to a CDC or DoH study/finding? I am absolutely not being told that at our facility. Quite the opposite.

It was posted a couple pages back. There is an infectious disease link referenced by Dr. Osterholm that seems to collect all of the relevant COVID-19 news.

Here it is:

I can't provide a link. This was told to us in a Webex presentation my employer gave.

I know it is very cynical thinking, but I wonder how much of this emergency declaration is to get in line for the Federal dollars that will invariably soon follow, rather than true concern.

Both Disney World Orlando and Universal Studios Orlando are closing. Disney until April 1st. Universal for 2 weeks.

Right before this, got a text from a friend of a friend who works for Hilton on Disney property. This is a HUGE hotel, connected to a Waldorf. My guess is 1,000 rooms between the two properties. Occupancy was at 20%, and at this time of the year, it should 90%+. They were announcing layoffs already. Now that Disney is closing...

Edited to add link; https://www.yahoo.com/entertai...ernor-201455477.html

https://www.yahoo.com/entertai...e-end-231144928.html

Oh and I forgot, Disney Cruise Line is shutting down for two weeks also.

The research I have seen to date does not point to this being true, and that is the problem.
