Stop overreacting. It's only 30x deadlier than the flu and really mostly effects the old. Your kids are fine, your bank account is fine, your baby sitter situation is fine. After all more people die from the flu, so you just need to man up. I get five days or 40 hours of sick time, vacation, or meeting up with the HVAC guy time a year. I have 1.4 days of time off acured so far this year. It's no problem for me to take two weeks off unpaid if need be. I don't care about draining my savings. I don't care about what happens to the economy when working class folks like myself stop spending money, it won't affect the stock market. It's only a 3/100 chance you never see you family again, 1/200 if you are the right age range and in good health. Once again I don't care about my savings, I'm ready to drain it all down. I don't care about my retirement accounts either, what's 20% loss between friends right? I'm glad many of our members have oodles of sick time and PTO. I can't afford to run in the red for more than a month or two. Grow a pair guys. It's only your vacation, savings, or goals at risk. Nothing here should be worrisome. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Dell employee tests positive. A Dell employee tested positive 5 days after returning to India. So they've told us to work from home until 3/24 "if your job allows". _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

I wasn’t looking for hand sanitizer but I’m pretty sure there was a pallet of it at Costco in Plano today. I see a money making opportunity here. Maybe better than selling drugs, and legal too. | |||

While you’re correct that it is the Fulton County School System, you didn’t quote/strike it correctly. While it is the Fulton County school system, I specifically said “Atlanta-area”, not Atlanta, to identify the location since 3/4 or more of those on the board not from Georgia would be more likely to know and recognize Atlanta than Fulton County. That said, I suspect there will be more cases and in their abundance of caution, we’re going to be in for a ride. *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | |||

https://www.redstate.com/brand...classic-james-woods/ Leah McElrath, a democratic activist riding comfortably on the “Trump can only do wrong” bandwagon, decided to take a moment to comment on his reaction to the Coronavirus by fantasizing how Clinton would have handled it, which according to McElrath, would have been a much faster affair. “Can you imagine how quick and organized the response to the coronavirus would have been if Hillary Clinton had been in the White House?” asked McElrath. James Woods responded: You mean like her snappy response to our Americans being slaughtered in #Benghazi, which she slept through? In a drunken stupor. As usual. As quick and organized as that? | |||

This is an interesting time to be watching the Amazon prime show Counterparts. Hits kind of close to home. _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

As a diabetic, I am not a fan of these numbers. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

Right, I even did a quick check, but still managed to mix up Clancys. The South Koreans continue to do much better at 54 deaths : 7,513 confirmed cases = 0.7 percent CFR. | |||

Good point. I added "area" to my original post and your quote of it. I don't think many not from the area understand what the label of "Atlanta" might include. At this point it's a pretty general area to the "locals." | |||

I’m in the “Atlanta Metro” area. Read last night and confirmed on local news this morning, a daycare 2 miles from my house but not my county has a positive patient. Nice. It’s location is right next to local businesses we often visit and most in our neighborhood also. We’ll see how this goes. A case in “Atlanta” can mean somewhere in like a 15 county metro area. Im over 30 miles from downtown. " like i said,....i didn't build it, i didn't buy it, and i didn't break it." | |||

Same with me. I’m guessing China pretty much just monitors their people in their “hospital” with coronavirus and if they die, they die. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

I'm finding I'm having to unfollow and snooze people on social media because everyone has suddenly become a friggen' infectious disease expert/immunologist/virologist in the past week or so. Ugh. They previously were Constitutional scholars and experts on impeachment, many of them Kremlinologists to boot but now that's all passe. | |||
