100% it is. Major news outlets are running the story now.

What I want to know is if you get a mild case, is it called the Coronita virus?

True, but flushing Kleenex can cause problems, as it doesn't dissolve as well as toilet paper.

That's the cities problem, eh?

Not if it causes a blockage in your house/yard (we're responsible for repairs all the way to the street connection here).

Sam Page just banned our Lincoln-Reagan Day banquet....

ST. LOUIS COUNTY — St. Louis County Executive Sam Page announced a ban on events with more than 250 people Friday to slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

An unnecessary move, both in reality and politically, but, we're well into Crazy Land now, so...

My county is opening some schools and sites for what they call grab and go lunches for anyone under 18.

Dude, there is no TP anywhere.

My soon to be ex sister in law feared she had the virus so she voluntarily quarantined herself, I thought probably to sit home and drink more. This meant my brother would take over the responsibility of dropping off and picking up the kids which also would mean he would come to work a little later and leave a little earlier. No biggie. Today she calls him and suggests that she "knows it is going to be a positive diagnosis." My brother comes to work wearing a respirator, gloves and tyvek for he is now certain that he has been exposed. He is running around the office asking "what should I do, what should I do?" I told him to go home and calm down. A couple of hours later he gets the call that she was negative. I felt sorry for him that he would let panic take him over and worse that he let that bitch get in his head.

My wife just got back from the near empty grocery store. She was going to just pick up something to cook this weekend but there was ZERO meat, produce, and no canned goods to be found. Picked up some frozen dinners and the last box of oatmeal.
Getting spicy.

The best part of this whole outbreak is how much fun you can have trying to convince your life partner that only a daily blowjob can protect you from the dreaded Wuhan. You fellas shiting your britches are certainly missing out.

110 pages in this thread already; this could reach the status of the "You Will Buy A Glock" for posts and visits in a much shorter time. Speaking of which, I just went on-line to a spot to get a couple of 33 rounders for the G17 in case I have to repel boarders after my TP; none in stock.

Just got the news that our ISD is cancelling school for two weeks beyond Spring Break, which is next week. I guess now's as good a time as any to be unemployed; staying home to help with three kiddos is kinda nice right now.

If interstate travel is restricted, I'm going to go bonkers. This is all so bizarre to me. None of it makes any sense. What the hell are we doing? This virus is already everywhere.

I feel like we're taking a flamethrower to a mosquito.

I agree. I'm going to be pissed. It would be one thing if some real percentage of people were sick but that's not the case.

1,263 people here have it out of 330 million.

That like a 0.000421% of our population.

My wife and I and the kids are supposed to be traveling to a large family reunion/birthday party for her grandparents in the Columbus, OH area and I'm starting to wonder if this should be postponed? They are in their 80's here.

Now keep mind, these are the same people who refused to cancel their plans to travel to Orlando this past August-September right when Hurricane Dorian was 100 miles off the coast.

Has this hit Ohio yet?

The question is not "has hit there yet?", the question is "how likely is someone to bring it there with them?".

The trip is now off, thank God my relatives are not being hardheads about this like they were with Dorian.

I told my wife: "what happens when we are on our way there or way back and the country goes into emergency lockdown mode? Do you want to get stuck somewhere?" I think that really woke her up.

Me too. I make my living on the Interstates.
