Why would you want to own towels that hundreds of people have already used?

The Spanish flu wasn't really Spanish.

Go back and look. That wasn't one of the choices.

YOUR two choices were Silly.

Growing up my dad worked for the airlines. We flew free all over the place but always stand by. Meaning we only got on if there were unsold seats and we were a family of six.
Well the unsold seats were almost always first class so we flew the nose cabin most of the time.
Once my family were the only passengers in first class and we kids played that it was our own private plane.
Another time we took over the upstairs lounge of a 747. The soda was on the bar and was serve yourself. So cool.
Back on topic. I think I will just stay in Hampton and go to the beach this summer.

It's a seasonal virus, spread easiest in countries with primitive sanitization and sterilization methods and practices and also, "everyone" in 1918.

You should get your keyboard fixed. Your exclamation point is stuck and you look ridiculous.

I’m getting more panicked about how people’s over reactions to all this will effect me and my family. We can handle flu symptoms. But having to stay home because they close the school...that’s a virus to my income. Clients canceling appointments because they have a cough. Events canceling because they are worried about the spreading virus. I’m sure we will get back to normal at some point, but in the meantime this sucks.

What's happening with the stock and oil markets reminds me of how President Trump reset the federal government.

Obviously.

Neither is Spanish Fly, but let's' not quibble over Tuesday nights.

If you are ill you should not spread it to others.
I thought everybody knew this.

Good for cleaning up blood spills.

How is this the left's fault please?

Dems made the virus?

I think it will hold around 24k for rest of day. Lots of unfilled buy orders from speculators and daytraders buying at 24k and selling for quick profits above. If it doesn't regain ground to 24500 by end of the day you will see a slaughter again tomorrow and possibly look at doing the same at 23k.

This leads us to the last point: Even seasonal infections can happen “out of season” when they are new.

For the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, we have reason to expect that like other betacoronaviruses, it may transmit somewhat more efficiently in winter than summer, though we don’t know the mechanism(s) responsible. The size of the change is expected to be modest, and not enough to stop transmission on its own.  Based on the analogy of pandemic flu, we expect that SARS-CoV-2, as a virus new to humans, will face less immunity and thus transmit more readily even outside of the winter season.

new virus behavior

This is a good read. It is educational on new viruses and how they may or may not be transmitted and why.

the markets are mostly driven by speculation. The mainstream media (leftist) are negative on anything that make trump looks good 99 percent of the time. I would think its quite obvious how this works.

PLUS...all that extra random DNA confuses the forensic pathologists.

a reply to: ketsuko

So the ones who die are just expendable?

A lot of my friends are over fifty and I don't want to lose one.

How many dead is not many?

I mean if it's 1% that's about three million dead.

Or, I hear flights from JFK to Rome are less than $300 RT, even though Delta just halted flights from Atl to Rome.
