DieHardBrownsFan Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 This situation is much more serious than most on here are willing to believe. Hopefully the USA can prevent the spread, but from what I'm hearing thats not likely as in the coming weeks it's likely to spread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might go buy some good masks and theraflu in case it hits here on a bigger scale. I don't get the desire to "stop the public from panicking", then later, it gets out of hand because they limited the truth, and THEN it's not just panic, but real disease/disaster spread wider.

I would say Cal the good masks were gone weeks ago. You posted a while back about the theraflu and I thought that was a good idea and bought some to have on hand.I took the advice of the health experts and stockpiled water, food , medicine and other supplies in case of a flu pandemic. I bought some surgical masks a few weeks ago and now they are very hard to find in stores. I don't know if the coronavirus is the big flu pandemic that the health experts say we are past due for or not but I also think it would be wise not to dismiss it either.

calfoxwc Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 stopped by the drug store - they have been out of masks for weeks - and HQ can't get them in yet. not good. There isn't any rush here in America. But in China - "it doesn't spread between humans"... I think that is a lie. If it breaks out here in Ohio, we have food, water, to not go out for weeks.

The Cysko Kid Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 So I was reading this. To be fair that was a rough time. My whole family was literally stuck in University hospital on adelbert for like seven straight days because they had to basically rebuild my second son's entire skull. Sitting around while you know your kid's head is basically open to the brain is a bit of a helpless feeling. It's possible I was mostly projecting some of that anxiety. Still the last shit you want to hear about while you're stuck in a place full of sick people is Ebola. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHardBrownsFan Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Coronavirus Confounds Health Experts As the outbreak continues, China logged 73 new fatalities Thursday to reach a death toll of 563. As of last night, officials have recorded more than 28,000 confirmed cases — in addition to nearly 25,000 suspected ones — with the youngest being a 30-hour-old newborn. Global health experts will meet in Geneva next week to discuss possible treatments and vaccines. Currently, said a World Health Organization spokesman, "there are no known effective therapeutics." Are there any hidden risks? Some experts are urging the world against displays of prejudice and xenophobia as global concern grows, saying "transparency and education" are the best bets to fight panic.

OldBrownsFan Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm putting on my surgical mask, rubber gloves and goggles and going to lunch at the Chinese Garden Restaurant. Wish me well. Just kidding but I did read where business at Chinese restaurants have taken a hit due to fears of the coronavirus which seems silly at this point.This may end up being a pandemic but we aren't close to that yet with only some isolated cases here. I do have concerns though that this is a much bigger problem in China than they want the world to know about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
