Terrierman Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Regardless of whether mortality is 2% or 4% it's not the big one like in "The Stand". Plenty serious enough to be sure and regardless of what dear leader has to say about it, the U.S. is non-exempt from Mother Nature. We're going to get our share of sick people. Thing is, I sure hope I don't get it but if I do I'd lot rather be sick here than in China or lots of other places.
MOPanfisher Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Viruses are not equal, some are fairly stabke and some mutate easily. Usually the ones that mutate easily tend to mutate themselves out of virulence and burn themselves out. However there is always a chance for it to mutate into one that is extremely deadly. Viruses are a scary and fascinating little parasites or whatever the proper description might be.
Quillback Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 Stock market sure is spooked by this. So are oil and gas prices. Gas futures for March are at $1.36/gallon, usually retail gas prices will run about 40-50 cents more per gallon than the futures prices, at least in this area, also will need to see them hold for a while at this level, but we may see gas at anywhere from $1.86 to $1.76 here in NWA. Jan. 2021 futures are at $1.27.

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I believe that I am getting immune to the hype of any "new and deadlier " virus/ disease/ sickness/ etc. Seems like the 'machine' produces news to divert the attention of the masses during each election cycle. I'm not one sided politically, not blaming any side. Just wonder what happens to the deadliest pandemic/epidemic things that seems to be the fad news. Sorry, really not the place, but it was being discussed. snagged in outlet 3, Johnsfolly and liphunter 3 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

I'll initially suspect a misdiagnosis.

Terrierman Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 What's really good great is when Al Roker tells us how many millions of people are at risk of getting snowed on or rained on or blown about in the wind. snagged in outlet 3 and N9BOW 2
