I have a client and his family coming in today for a meeting.

He was in Vietnam from mid January to mid February ... slightly some what worried.

Worry meter is now a 10/100 from 5/100.

I know it seems wrong to be thinking about vacation at a time like this, but man Southwest came down insanely strong on their prices this week.

DC to Vegas one way for $120, Boston $50, Chicago $80. I've been planning my west coast trip for 3 years now and I'm really tempted to buy it while the price is right. If I book for the summer hopefully the virus will die out by then right?

Seems like the perfect time to be thinking about it. Being smart about your finances doesn't mean you don't care about others.

Yes, you'll be fine.

Several hundred churchgoers at an Episcopal church in Washington, D.C. have been asked to self-quarantine after a reverend who gave Holy Communion and shook hands with parishioners tested positive for coronavirus.

The Rev. Tim Cole, the rector of Christ Church in Georgetown – and D.C.'s first coronavirus case – interacted with several congregants last weekend throughout multiple services because he thought he had recovered from the flu. It turns out it was the coronavirus, and it worsened, according to church officials.

Not in my case. We were planing to go to Italy for a week then take the train to Germany for 5 days then back home. Those plans are now on the back burner.


Just heard its hit home with a couple from Va Beach having the Virus.

First person to test positive here in central Va. Some dumbass traveling internationally brought it back.

As a country we were so woefully unprepared for something like this. It's pathetic and scary.

we aren't a hunker down society...its tough.

Its crazy imo people are still traveling to Asia, middle east and Europe. Even though it seems like we are unprepared, we still can cope much better than any place outside our borders.

One place where we should be looking for information is South Korea, their data should be on point.

I don't think there is any preparing for this, all you can really do is react to the situation as it presents itself. It's spreading so rapidly and easily.

Staying away from people and keeping your hygiene regimen are the key steps. I can definitely do the staying away from people part, we introverts have been training for this our whole lives!

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

this is no lie...folks on one side of the floor is having "office pot luck" right now.

pretty smart right?

they are inline, multiple spoons being passed, paper plates being bumped, fried chicken served up with "water" hot dogs...hands being place in chips bags, salsa being dipped. After everyone over eats, then they will be shittin up the bathrooms multiple times, clogging toilets, water all over sinks....

JFC...this is ground zero for this virus.

Went to Costco yesterday out here. The 2nd to last shopping cart in the row closest to everyone had 2 wet tissues (it had been raining but was probably used too). That cart got avoided like the plague by me and everyone else.

Side note - the line inside of Costco to get to the back where the TP is was at least 100 deep. I wasn't there for that thank goodness. People are going crazy. I need to buy some Cottonnelle stock asap.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I don't even understand the toilet paper thing. Do people not realize that Coronavirus causes no G.I. symptoms?? Does everybody think it gives you the runs?

I would understand buying up bottled water, tylenol, canned foods like soup, stuff like that. But the toilet paper thing is just bizarre.

Damn straight, now we have a legit excuse to stay home.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I picked the right time to go on a 40 day dry run. To work and home for the most part. And we have small office.
