Personal impact of the Wuhan Virus
« on: March 15, 2020, 01:13:04 PM »
30 day poll.
You can change your count as situation changes.
Only count those you have met personally unless otherwise indicated.
We're a pretty small sample spread out throughout the country but it may be interesting.
We can discuss local cases to us but counts are only for personally known friends, family or acquantences.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

No one as yet.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Zero for me. At the level outlined in the OP, I would guess this will apply to at least 70% of the population.

Zero here.

My buddy claims there is a couple being treated in our local hospital.

Haven't seen any news reports about locally infected folks.

So far zero.

But I didn't attend either of the 2 local gun shows being held this weekend. I decided months ago to avoid these shows not because of Chinese Wuhan virus (which was barely on my domestic radar then) but rather because March is still the tail end of regular flu season and I didn't want to rub elbows with someone sneezing and coughing up flu germs.

Zero. Affected me, I have a crud, not visiting my dad just in case. Avoiding him when sick has been standard MO for a few years, sniffles for me is hospitalized pneumonia for him.

They are now reporting one in my county.

Woman in her 60's, a resident of a nursing home.

Woo hoo, I get to vote. At least if my wife counts.

There is one person in Ohio who has tested positive in my wife's home county, who used to go to their church when she was young.

So there.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Results aren't back yet but my sister developed symptoms this weekend. She works in the hospital.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Looked today, under a hundred cases in Illinois.  Just saw first case announced in the county next to us.  Closest I'm aware of.

I have a friend in Italy (close friend of my sis).

Her and her husband have stayed home for a week. They had contact with a friend who ended up being infected.

Feeling "off" today, and can hear gravel in my voice.  Normally not enough to stay home, but these days, yes I will.

I've got a crapton of vacation/sick time hours, that the bookkeeper keeps bugging me to use.

One of my coworkers has "respiratory symptoms," so the boss asked him to take off for 2 weeks, or until he can be tested.

They also canceled my upcoming trip to Phoenix. You've been spared, Arizona.
