Meh, 3 inches of duct-tape..

But fun aside, why would you endanger others even if you could get out?

Ask Patient #1 in New Hampshire.

I agree. How many days or weeks do you think before it is everywhere in this country in large numbers?

First, he/she should pay all the lost wages. Then be responsible for any damages, health, loss of life if any.....

I tend not to believe in conspiracy theories but it seems the Chinese government was VERY worried very early on as if there was an immediate understanding that this was serious stuff.

Irrelevant at this point. It was relevant in the beginning to find the source and try to stop this. It will be relevant again in future efforts to prevent outbreaks like this. Now is the time to focus on outbreak management, this needs all resources. Once it is done, definitely source should be investigated.

Singapore has a test that can help to establish links between cases. Maybe it could help.

Hospital employee went to a by invitation only event at a Business School. Probably high-level employee/administrator. No excuse for this behavior. Wow.

What if you are over 70 or 80 and need food? I'm traveling into a badly hit area this weekend to make sure my parents have everything they need, but I don't know how long they can really fare on their own without the woman who comes to help them. My father has dementia.

My parents will probably, or possibly, be fine. But what about the millions of older Americans? My mother is incredible - she is a very young 78 and takes care of everyone else. Her only issue? Her eyesight so she can't drive. I'm worried. We can't write off our older generation.

Pretty sure my job would fire me if I were to stay home for two weeks. There's no way I could afford to be unemployed. And I know I'm not alone.

I'm seeing nothing. Apparently, we care more about Super Tuesday than Coronavirus updates here in LA...
