Are you personally worried about getting the Coronavirus?

Now do the flu.

I'll say this about you TK. You don't give up.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

Amazing as to how big Russia is and so far they only have 306 cases of the virus and only one death.

Now do the flu.

You do know the cases are jumping up every single day don't you? I promise you, you won't be saying "now do the flu" in 2 weeks. It's pretty hard to believe you are still doing it now tho.

Didn't you say that two weeks ago?

Nope. 2 weeks ago I was saying closer to what you were saying.

I wonder how many were saying after the first week of WW2 that it wasnt going to be deadly, sighting numbers of the total number lost during WW1.

And you do know that you're acting like a prophet too right? The difference is most people are using numbers showing how fast this is escalating to form a guess as to how big it will get. You are comparing it to finished numbers from past viruses, even tho this one is only a couple months old

Ironically, WW2 was fought for freedom, while this has been all about fighting against freedom. I wonder what those that fought in WW2 would say about this situation.

That's probably pretty accurate.

I've been thinking about the same thing. Cost Cutters is closed in Iowa City/Coralville but Great Clips appears to be open. I keep my hair pretty short but I think I'll let it grow until this blows over.

If you or your kids need a haircut, I would get it done by tomorrow. Where I live in E. Iowa Sports Clips says it's open, but I went to a local one an hour ago and it was closed down. Great Clips are open in my area and I got in for a cut. The gal cutting my hair said most people are getting their hair cut shorter than normal because they are worried as to how long they will have to go with the next cut. She also said that she is hearing they may close all Great Clips after tomorrow afternoon because the virus is now in our county. If you think about it, if you are at the point where you need a haircut, you may not be able to get one 1-2 months from now if all these places shut down. Glad I just got my hair cut, one less thing to worry about now.

That could be the alcohol.

I need a hair cut and I go to Cost Cutter's, they are closed down for now. Trying to decide if I should trim my own hair or just let it grow. I may try Sports Clips, and I bet they will be shutdown soon with all others if this virus keeps spreading. I see Linn County now has two cases

The Dawg has the answer

Did you miss the point or change the subject? So seriously tho, what's your thoughts on the other countries that are a few weeks ahead of us in the timeline that are just getting rocked right now? Do you think it's not going to happen to us if we don't take drastic measures? Or do you think their final numbers are going to be no big deal? Also every government out there right now is taking drastic measures or are about to. So this isn't a US government thing.

Might have to carry your very own roll of squares

South Korea didn't shut everything down and their numbers are dropping. It seems like the more drastic measures taken, the more severe the effects. Another thing is the false-positive rates for the tests. From early results, the false-positive rate seems rather high. We probably will never know, but I'd be really curious to know how many of the deaths are actually the seasonal flu.
