Things are not adding up right. I think that folks are getting sic, but no more than usual really.
The thing in China, it looks like was radiation. It is very possible that they are using cv19 as cover to engage some other agenda.
Here is one thing in particular, if coronavirus is on Lysol cans, probably a good percentage of us have had it one time or another. With the test they are using, this would be a good tool to make something look one way that is not. They say . . . No, this is different, (in other words, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)

I'm not convinced that we aren't getting corralled perhaps.

Good morning everyone

Well, here's what I have gleaned. "Corona Virus" covers a broad spectrum of viruses. They are dubbed "Corona" because when they are seen under a microscope they have a crown appearance. Corona = crown. They have been around and that is why it is listed on the back of a can of Lysol. What they/we are calling "Corona Virus" is a new strain that "we" know very little about.

Now here is something interesting:

This is straight from cdc.gov:
From April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, CDC estimated there were 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (range: 195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (range: 8868-18,306) in the United States due to the (H1N1)pdm09 virus. Additionally, CDC estimated that 151,700-575,400 people worldwide died from (H1N1)pdm09 virus infection during the first year the virus circulated.** Globally, 80 percent of (H1N1)pdm09 virus-related deaths were estimated to have occurred in people younger than 65 years of age. This differs greatly from typical seasonal influenza epidemics, during which about 70 percent to 90 percent of deaths are estimated to occur in people 65 years and older.
Though the 2009 flu pandemic primarily affected children and young and middle-aged adults, the impact of the (H1N1)pdm09 virus on the global population during the first year was less severe than that of previous pandemics. Estimates of pandemic influenza mortality ranged from 0.03 percent of the world’s population during the 1968 H3N2 pandemic to 1 percent to 3 percent of the world’s population during the 1918 H1N1 pandemic. It is estimated that 0.001 percent to 0.007 percent of the world’s population died of respiratory complications associated with (H1N1)pdm09 virus infection during the first 12 months the virus circulated.
The United States mounted a complex, multi-faceted and long-term response to the pandemic, summarized in The 2009 H1N1 Pandemic: Summary Highlights, April 2009-April 2010. On August 10, 2010, WHO declared an end to the global 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. However, (H1N1)pdm09 virus continues to circulate as a seasonal flu virus, and cause illness, hospitalization, and deaths worldwide every year.

Questions:

Is this getting blown out of proportion? IMO yes, but...

Is this part of the protocol for how to deal with the next pandemic? IDK maybe:dontknow:

Are people freaking out? Most definitely.

Is this the end of the world as we know it? Well, everything changes. I have more thoughts, but they would all be political in nature and so I will save it. (Bill, 2 songs in there for ya :laughing9:)

Did I buy the last 2 boxes of Bunn coffee filters? You better darn well tootin' believe it! In my defense, the store I frequent usually only has 1 or 2 boxes on the shelf. I believe I am the only one in the area that still uses a Bunn. Everyone else uses those k-cups. There was a bunch of other coffee filters left on the shelves. Very little T. P. left. When someone gets the bright idea they could use coffee filters for, well, you know, well they'll be gone too. :tongue3:
 

Mississippi finally joined the rest of the country. We have 3 cases now of the virus. Alabama just got 1.

We will all be just fine!
Don't let the hype and hysteria get to you.

First up Gene Mean I hope your little one is better. Kids are very resilient, and you did well giving the tylenol, you have to think out side the box when your boxed in. Common sense goes a long way!

Thank you Msbpbp-
My daughter is happily having miso soup and watching a movie. No more fever. I went to the Asian restaurant for the miso and it is dead quiet, no customers. The owner is very worried. I think people are actually avoiding Asian restaurants because of C-Virus.
 

I personally don't know of anyone that has a confirmed case of coronavirus. I do have 4 family members that have flu, one 80's in hosp flu/pnemonia they isolated her, no C19 test tho.

I had a cold or something 3 weeks ago, that fit all the criteria for C19 except fever and I may not run one because my immune system is screwed up.
I am still here to make all the sock coffee and rum the pirate crew can drink! ....drink up! There's more...was that a groan?

Bill, I am sure you and the Mrs. are great cooks, but I don't think I am that desperate yet. No offense, but if it ain't deep fried walleye chunks, I don't eat it. I am funny that way. OK well, I have been know to eat deep fried cod and striper. I can't even lie and say, "It looks good, Bill." It looks scary to me. Maybe Simon will share his Mickey D's? :tongue3:

A 65 year old lady was on Fox News this morning, telling about her experience being infected. Her fever never went above 100, and all it was was coughs, chills and sneezing. That was it. Her husband who was immune suppressed never got the virus, even though they were on the Princess Cruise in the same cabin in the same bed.

My wife and our kids were on vaca in disney and my wife wakes up with a case of bedbugs and bites all over. We could see them and they didn't come to my side of the bed and get me. Must be the hot sauce I use on everything, or the red wine I drink.

Quote from kidshealth.org - "Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can infect the respiratory tract and cause symptoms like a runny nose, cough, sore throat, and fever.

Seven coronaviruses can infect humans, including the viruses that cause Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)."

My point being, that the term "coronavirus" is a generic term for a type of virus. The use of the term on the back of the Lysol can has nothing to do with the the "Covid 19 Novel" coronavirus. It's a new strain. Lysol can kill it but we humans don't have any built up immunity or resistance to it.

I also believe that there is either a MAJOR overreaction to this pandemic or we're being lied to about how bad it actually is.

Yea, what Doubter said. (Sorry, I didn't see this when I made my post.)
 

Good afternoon Rook!

Yes I know it afternoon...haven't had my second mug of sock coffee yet.

If you all could see all the word substitutions auto correct is inserting, you would laugh yourselves silly. A couple were not printable here, how does that even happen?

Good

Good luck GB.
Sorry Bart we're not more into treasure, too much coffee, not enough rum!

Not disagreeing. It just seems too convenient, the folks that are saying that this is new strain; how well have they earned our trust so far?
