Coronavirus:

[HONDO74]

Now that the number of new people infected with the coronavirus in China is slowing down, the country's Communist Party is ratcheting up threats against the West, with a particularly nasty warning about access to life-saving drugs aimed at the United States.

In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that's largely considered the mouthpiece of the party, Beijing bragged about its handling of COVID-19, a virus that originated in the city of Wuhan and has spread quickly around the world, killing nearly 5,000 people and infecting thousands more. The article also claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."

But Amazon will still be able to get all the rest of the Chinese crap.

Ohio health officials announced Thursday that the state has five known cases of the coronavirus, but one expert said that the number is likely much higher and estimated 100,000 undiagnosed cases.

Dr. Amy Acton, the director of the state’s health department, told reporters that the virus is “among us, but we can’t see it yet,” WBRB reported.

Should we cut-out patronizing restaurants, too?

[robert.]

Yes. Full disclosure im sitting in a pizza parlor right now. Friday afternoon 12:45 . Just me and my 3 guys.

Should we cut-out patronizing restaurants, too?

That was addressed a few weeks ago -- theaters, restaurants, sporting events, anything of that ilk

OK. Got it. Finally.

Went out to pick up a book that I had on hold at the library (they might close the libraries??) and swung by the grocery store to grab a few things.

Not a zoo yet; seen far worse with a weather forecast of snow. Still, more than usual there but then again I rarely hit the grocery store on Friday.

I went for flour. Kidd wanted waffles. @6:45 am giant was packed. Usually i need to hunt down a cashier. Lines were 4-5 deep. Shelves were empty.

We have one grocery store in our town of @ 2500. I was there today and the only shortage they have is bread but that is almost a daily occurrence.
I think our problem will come when stuff is not delivered to the store.

If such a number includes the elderly, who appear , so far , to be particularly vulnerable , we're talking about almost a culling of the population?
