They have been in lockdown in the highly infected regions, with businesses and schools closed for weeks now. They are slowly lifting the bans (with some companies paying bonuses for employees who actually show up to work). Let's see what happens when people start interacting again.

Still, the virus has hit populated areas with hundreds of millions of people. 30 years ago this would be buried in the news. A risk? Absolutely, but the optics may be making it seem worse than it is.

No, there's no way that would happen. I think that mostly everyone has too much class to make this part of the political game. {#Eek}

Nicely played. A global pandemic and you manage to twist it to your crusade against people not like you.

Yea wouldn't it be a shame if someone were to use this virus to make political points? {#Arrowd}

China. And that first case is already there (and unlikely to be the only one). Likely from someone who flew to/from or from/to China. As more time passes it could come from anywhere.

Personally I would go with P100 filter masks but then I use them all the time while doing woodwork and auto wrenching.

The US economy is about to take a hit but overall I reckon the health system should protect Americans. Some other countries with fewer resources and even stupider politics will not make out as well.

Well...I don't know about you, but I feel a LOT safer after the briefing at the WH. Even when addressing public health all of the minions feel an obligation to blow smoke up the POTASS non-stop. Thank you for your leadership...
