All bars and restaurants in Ohio are shutting down at 9PM tonight

They need to do that everywhere

I wonder how many people spread it at the Sunday brunches around America today

I hated all the churchies coming into BK twice as much today. I highly doubt God or the coronavirus will spare you cause you're going to a sanctified group gathering.

Glad to know there’s at least one moron that doesn’t live in the south.

Yeah Nunes that’s really what I need a potentially deadly infectious disease. Thanks for the looking out.

If the restaurant closes guess what I get that’s better than the coronavirus? Unemployment you ****ing asswipe.

Local press conference bestowed us with advice like "wash your hands" and "stay home if you're sick" but also encouraged us to "check in on our high risk neighbors" and "consider staying home from work for a couple days."

is there a definitive answer to whether or not this is airborne? I just assumed it was but Bill Maher’s guest said it wasn’t and googling it left me like I’m not sure if they even know.

Yeah last time I read about it it wasn't known yet

How contagious is the virus?
It seems to spread very easily from person to person, especially in homes, hospitals and other confined spaces. The pathogen can travel through the air, enveloped in tiny respiratory droplets that are produced when a sick person breathes, talks, coughs or sneezes.

I started doing the "Sing a song while you wash your hands to get the length of time correct so you kill most of the germs" thing. I'm currently using Queensryche's "Spreading the Disease".

I've been using a lot of Prince, particularly Raspberry Beret. :D

Try on some Darling Nikki. See how that fits.

You’ll have to wash your hands again at the end of the song forever.

Electric word life it means forever...

god damnit

All schools in my county are on spring break this week but the closure is extended through April 5 at least. Most restaurants are moving to take-out only. I've still gotta go to work.

Indiana bars+restaurants closing too

They're bringing us our meals on room trays, that tells me that someone here must have it. :yikes:

Kill them before they kill you, Paul.

Pennsylvania is shutting everything down that’s non essential, how’s it going for you

This keeps getting more shocking

^ Yes, I think restrictions are going to tighten up a bit more yet, then stay in place for a length of time that was unthinkable just a couple of weeks back.

This woman sounds like she knows what she's talking about, and says restrictions will be in place for "three to five months". Difficult to imagine what the implications of that are: hope she's talking about non-essential travel, because if the food/meds supply chain gets disrupted, it's gonna get unpleasant.



"First Wuhan, then us" so that's the place to look for how things may pan out. Are they still under lock down?

My office announced we are closed for the next two weeks effective immediately. I really didn't expect it to come to that as we are deemed "essential" but hey I'm not complaining about a paid vacation.

Not meaning to be pessimistic, but I'm going to try out this song for hand-washing:-

It's closing in here. One new case found in the next county over and 70+ in the city.

Gonna go wash my hands again.

Wuhan has got people working in factories again. Saw that on the news tonight.

VA ain't doin' a damn thing as far as I know.

Groups over 50 are banned here. I don’t know what they’re going to do with the spring breakers.

Some good info on water:

I swear I think I had this like 4 months ago

They're now taking my temperature twice a day, it's 97.9 so yay I guess

The amount of overlap with flu is crazy, like I don’t even think that chart is particularly helpful

After feeling generally a little off today I just recorded a 100.3 temp to go with a sore throat and mild cough. Oh boy

It's getting pretty serious here in Seattle now. I thought it wouldnt but they just closed all bars and restaurants this morning. No public get togethers or forms of entertainment with groups. Cons etc are included. My boss is considering closing the stores but I dont know. We'll see. The streets have been empty. People are still out and about tho. I think people are starting to see it's pretty serious here now tho. Guess I should take more precautions.

I'm not sick tho so I'll hopefully be alright. I keep myself clean.

I understand how frightening that is. I’m not getting better or worse myself.

Fever is climbing. Woke up with chills - 101.1. I am so royally ****ed
