Don't know if this has been posted already, but children generally get only mildly ill.

No child under 9 has died from the virus.

Story about a guy who got the virus on the cruise ship
Says if he had his symptoms without know what they were he’d likely have gone to work. Says it’s not as bad as the flu. He’s in quarantine but doing really well.

Thank you.

Why is this good news? It means that people with mild symptoms will go about business as usual and spread it to others instead of self-quarantine. I’m glad that he is doing well but this is exactly what we should be terrified about.

NP. This is what I just don't get about the hysteria--a man with it said it was like a cold. Why should I be terrified of a cold by a different name?

Because it’s a new, relatively unstudied virus that may mutate into something with a much higher mortality rate. This happened with the Spanish flu.

In 1918, they didn't produce vaccines like we do now.

When will the COVID19 vaccine be ready for the masses?

Estimated 12-18 months.

So then we are in the same position as the Spanish flu. No vaccines to help.

Not true. Israel feels they can have something ready to use in 3-4 months. That's tested.

“Tested” how and by whom?

Has there been any since the early 1990s?

Lets make a wish together. Many mighty donors like Bill Gates finance many noble causes. Perhaps someone can make a miracle and provide infinite soap supply to MCPS AND FCPS equally so no bathroom is left behind? Lots of children with allergies and sensitivities can not go anywhere near Purell. We need god old liquid soap and we need it now.

Dear Colleague to All Members on Coronavirus Preparedness

The supplemental must also ensure that vaccines are affordable and available to all who need them, that SBA loans are made available for small businesses impacted by the outbreak and that state and local governments are reimbursed for costs incurred while assisting the federal response to the coronavirus outbreak.

I was at Walmart today and it was as crowded as ever with lines at the checkout. People buying clothes, suitcases, food, potted plants, bicycles...you name it, they were buying it. I actually picked up some small hand sanitizers that I plan to bring on a trip we're taking (there were still plenty of hand soap and hand sanitizer to choose from, btw).

The grocery stores were busy like they are on every Sunday afternoon - people out doing their weekly shopping. I really didn't see any obvious "preppers", just the typical - bananas, apples, deli meat, milk, bread, etc that people get every Sunday.

Or whatever new thing tearing through parts of Ethiopia.
