[Angry Ram]

Perhaps you've missed some of the comments suggesting its no more dangerous than the flu and how we all just need to relax.

Wash that machine in bleach and you should be fine.

We should be okay. It’s not that important of machine. It’s used for packaging bottled water for Walmart.

KIDDING!

I started this thread two weeks ago and have already seen a slight change in attitude, I suspect we'll see more of this in the next 2 weeks. It may not be all that long before someone we know becomes personally affected or is self-quaranteeing. Stay well ...

About that testing.

A co worker (30ish) returned from a cruise last week with a fever.

The company told the co worker to contact their doctor. Went to
hospital to be checked. Got checked out and asked if they were going to test for the virus.

Nope. Test were reserved for people with Pneumonia.

Back to work for them.

Wow. That's just the kind of thing that could infect an entire workplace. Sorry to hear this, although i'm not all that surprised.

Ehh, maybe.

I had to stockpile a bit today out of necessity, not want or fear.

Like I said, not worried.

You all are cracking me up

Fear isn't a factor for those who prepare and maintain a reasonable supply, fear is for those that procrastinate or believe they are impervious to disaster until they discover they aren't.

A man in Rome, Georgia, said he was initially sent home after he went to the hospital with flu-like symptoms and later tested positive for coronavirus. Clay Bentley told ABC News on Wednesday that on March 1 he sang in the more-than-100-member choir at the Church at Liberty Square in...

Fear also drives panic, and leaves rational and common sense in the rearview mirror.

Yes, but those who have prepared won't be those who are in a panic.

But I still feel like the media is stirring this frenzy.

The media is informing people. And doing a good job of it IMO. I know what is going on with this potential giant mess.

If they weren't doing that people would have less of an understanding and less knowledge about what is happening. Less knowledge abot testing which is now being done all over and in many cases for free.

It's dumbass Americans causing the frenzy. And sadly our nation is FILLED with dumbfucks.

Even lived through a bad snowstorm of violent weather event?

The media reports it. The dumbfucks go buy shitloads of stuff in response because they're dumbfucks.

that's because your health system sucks. they want people to take all these other tests before getting their free coronavirus test and it will cost them a fortune. so they just don't get tested.

This is not true. Just not true.

All a Dr. has to do right now is agree to giving the test and it happens.

The issue is going to be handling the volume of potential tests.

Though I agree my nation should have better healthcare, but the system has been fucked for many many years and insurance/drug companies/bought politicians/lobbyists and other layers of shit have hurt it.

But I betr when this chapter closes the US will be a champion not only for protecting itself in the end but also other countries that like the USA fucked around and dragged their feet.

As I pointed out earlier this is also just reported cases. How many people had it thought it was just the flu and got over it.

And may have infected many, many others because the world did a shit job of tamping this down.

Especially here in the USA.

We should be okay. It’s not that important of machine. It’s used for packaging bottled water for Walmart.

KIDDING!

Bleach it from space, it's the only way to be sure.

Dont disagree there.

But you know what, now that the whole country is cancelling social events, including NBA now, I will admit to take it seriously and not brush it off...still not panicking though.
