When will the coronavirus arrive in the US? (Disease: COVID-19; Virus: SARS-CoV-2)
[/QUOTE]
The wife and I did this about 3 weeks ago. Except one of my bp meds he would only do 90 days. I called back today and said I will certainly come in for my blood work in 3 months but if it shows the med is working and I can’t get any what good is that. Please give me 2 refills for 180 days total. I will gladly pay for them myself as I’m sure insurance won’t. Then I will have 270 days worth and feel much better. Haven’t heard back yet.[/QUOTE]
I did the self pay for 180 days three weeks ago as well.

Pretty accurate. (It helps to have watched The Walking Dead before.)
Students will not return to shools in Florida until at least April 15. However, online classes will begin when the extended spring break is over. So my kids get to do school from home starting March 30th. To quote the immortal words of Flounder: "This is gonna to be great!".

Mom, you don't catch a cold from the cold. It's a virus. You catch a cold from people, and in the winter, when you're indoors around people more often than in the summer, you're more susceptible to catch a cold from people who have a cold.

"some member"? If you can't say it don't say it.
This whole thing has been blown so far out of proportion that the impact of the virus will be nothing compared to what it's done to the world economy. Just as has been noted several times in this thread, we did not react this way in 2009 when H1N1 killed 14,000 Americans, and you damn well know what the difference is this time around, and it's not the severity of the virus. It's freaking politics.
It was not necessary to bring the economy to a halt. Anyone who doesn't know that shouldn't be sounding off on this matter.
So, yeah, it was a nothing burger that leftists seized upon with glee. Figure it out.
So, if you have something to say, then say it. If not, leave the pussy-footing for some other forum. Speak up.

Screw this virus for a few hours. It's St. Patrick's Day, just had some corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes with a wee bit of Tullamore Dew. I refuse to go nuts worrying about it. Prepared with a positive mental attitude, yes. Aware of the signs and symptoms, yes. Ready to help a neighbor, yes. Panic manic, fighting over toilet paper or Clorox wipes, no.

Yes! And further, all this doesn't change a damn thing come November. President Trump will be here for a 2nd great term. We all will see to that. KAG.

Totally hyped by the press into the giant mess it has become. And I just got the word that my "elective" hip replacement has been pushed back indefinitely! It doesn't feel like it's "elective surgery" to me. Crap, was hoping to be up and running by summer. Thankfully the restaurants/bars in WV are still open.

I'm was borderline nothing burger to standard flu.
Obviously we are in a complete and utter media fueled panic frenzy, regardless if it's a nothing burger, strong flu, or what have you. Whether or not this is just a slight over-reaction to a over-reaction of Epic proportions remains to be seen.
At this point there isn't much use in debating it until all the post drama data is in, because it just results in large walls of text, inferences, and best guesses.
My educated guess is we'll settle on a large over-reaction being the consensus, give or take.

A lot of these ridiculously lengthy closings will be rescinded at some point before the announced time.

Schools here are already closed until mid April. Another month and a half won't make much difference as far as the school year goes. They're setting stuff up online now. As far as impact on working parents....it'll be a clusterfuck.
