    Yup, wife told me she heard experts saying it will be full-blown in the US in the next 4-6 weeks. Got a P-13 pneumonia shot yesterday as a precaution.

    Do you know who that woman is?
    She is Rod Rosenstein's sister
    And she decided to drop that bomb while Trump was on India travel

    Amazing detailed interview. The scope of what the Trump admin has done in such a short time is remarkable.
    But we know Dems and media will skewer Trump no matter what
    Thanks for posting that.

    Ps Schumer etc are vile haters but people will believe them just like haters still think Bush let new Orleans flood because he hates black people

    When I got stationed at Lackland back in 2007, during my orientation they said that at anyone time there are 35,000 on the base. That includes all the permanent party stationed there, civilian employees, temporarily assigned personnel, all the trainees (basic training, technical school, and foreign students), and visitors on the base. I didn't even mention the family members associated with those permanently stationed here.

    By the way, I live right across from the base and while I was there a couple weeks ago I drove by the lodging facility that the initial group was located in and it was fenced off from the public. I felt safe being on base.

    No idea. The cesspool isn't very big is it?

    I don't worry about the ones in quarantine, but it's the ones they're transporting to medical facilities all over town for testing and treatment that bothers me. They need to be totally self-contained so that nobody leaves the quarantine.

    Overseas bases are doing quite a bit. In Korea, Japan, Bahrain, and Northern Italy, they're closing DoDEA schools and shutting down a lot of on-base activities. No big changes in Germany - yet. (They did close schools in our area due to snow.)

    Snow? What ever happened to the 2-3 days of global warming last summer? (Texas laughs hysterically).

    It has actually been a pretty warm winter -warmest we've had. Even today, it's barely at freezing. In fact, it's pretty slushy. This is my street.

    Does snow kill the virus?

    It actually eats snow, in-between infecting humans and bats and monkeys. That's why it goes away in the summer time.

    It probably even eats yellow snow

    Frank Zappa! There's an image/name/musical genre that deserves to stay buried in the past. I was at a party in the 60s and heard a Zappa album (yes it was an album). I thought it was the greatest thing ever. So I rushed out and bought a Zappa album. I must have been stoned out of my gourd at that party. That was the worst crap I ever heard in my life.

    The virus has hit my area. Link. Apparently it's a dude who had been hanging out in Iran.

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the German government will jump right in and do whatever is necessary to keep it from spreading.

    It's like when Crock Pot was getting slammed on Twitter because the dad on "This is Us" died from a fire caused by a faulty crockpot. The actor had to come out an remind people (1) that he wasn't really dead and (2) that the crockpot was just a prop on a TV show and didn't actually start a fire.

    Dumbasses.

    I had a business trip cancelled and was very relieved. Not because I was scared of getting the Coronavirus but more worried about the hysteria. I could see getting quarantined because someone else on my flight had flu like symptoms. Or what if I just developed a normal cold along the way.

    So, you're supposed to spend 3 minutes washing your hands each time? Brain surgeons don't scrub in that good! As soon as you touch anything, anything. You're contaminated again.

    The other thing you can try is to not touch your face. Try it. It's hard as Hell! The minute you lose focus, you may find yourself unconsciously rubbing your eyes or nose.

    As a show of empathy for Mr Deez, I shoveled sunshine off my sidewalk today. :smile1:
