The only thing I've seen in my local stores is empty shelves for Lysol, Purell, and bottled water. I'm not sure why people are afraid of the tap water.
That's not widespread. We are nearing the end of our respiratory illness season and they are nearing the beginning of theirs. I would think some overlap might happen.
Really just have to wait and see if we get lucky.

ing bottled water, proof Americans will buy anything you slap a label on.
Yeah the water thing is strange. Probably that's just what they've learned from natural disasters.

6 months from now we’re going to be laughing at the overreaction to this.
IF this is a typical virus then texas should be pretty safe. It's all about how long the virus survives on a surface so it can be transferred. They like 40s and dont like 90s plus. They like air conditioning though. Thoughts and prayers dudes.
Glad I look 100% white despite having a half Japanese mother. And white people thinks she's Mexican (though Japanese people recognize her as Japanese).
If we end up better prepared for the next one it will have been worth it. It's not reasonable to presume this is the last deadly pandemic we'll ever see.
Quarantined nurse condemns CDC’s incompetence in blistering statement
a nurse with the Kaiser Permanente hospital network in California
under quarantine for coronavirus released a statement telling the story — and
ripping into the Centers for Disease Control for their handling of the crisis.
“As a nurse, I’m very concerned that not enough is being done to stop the spread of the coronavirus,”
“I know because I am currently sick and in quarantine after caring for a patient who tested positive.
I’m awaiting ‘permission’ from the federal government to allow for my testing,
even after my physician and county health professional ordered it.”
The nurse volunteered to treat this patient,
“assuming that if something happened to me, of course I too would be cared for.”
But that was not what happened.
But the National CDC would not initiate testing.
They said they would not test me because
if I were wearing the recommended protective equipment,
then I wouldn’t have the coronavirus …
What a ridiculous and uneducated response from the department that is in charge of our health in this country.”

Trash's toxicity, his famous Reverse Midas Touch ting the world far and wide
The fear apparently is a pandemic where all the lazy SAWS guys call in sick and the system breaks down.
I mostly worry about my mom. I'll probably do her grocery shopping for her, so she doesn't have to get out.
Apologies to any SAWS employees but reminds me of a joke
What's big and white and sleeps four?
A SAWS truck.
Yep. I'm putting a hand sanitizer at my moms front door.
Walk us through it, why do you think homeless encampments are more dangerous than crowded workplaces, schools, hospitals, trains, planes and buses and public events?
Do you have some empirical basis for casting shade on the homeless, or is this more PFA epidemiology?
Flights to Seattle are super cheap right now.
On a positive note, if you go to John's Hopkins map and expand mainland China graph (lower right), it appears to be leveling off

Hopefully 7.5 months from now when we're back in flu season and the likely ramps way up again we will have a decent vaccine in enough supply to deliver to at-risk groups.
Especially one way flights
, a busy restaurant probably spreads more disease daily than homeless encampments. More contact with the public, too poor to self-quarantine.
Poor hygiene, rats, etc
Probably not gonna get Typhus at Cheesecake Factory, tbh.
Now, Chipotle, on the other hand...
Pray for global warming, tbh
Can't say that I trust any number coming out of China. same for Japan, they're just trying to keep from losing the Olympics. South Korean numbers are about the only ones in that part of the world I'd trust since they're actually testing people.
10,000 x more expensive than tap water, even after you install a 4 stage filter.
sheeple, buying WATER!
