Thanks, 10 seconds no prob.
Had to hold it nearly 1 minute twice for CT scans couple weeks ago.
That wasn't so hard but when they injected the dye got internal burning sensation and nausea. Nearly puked.
Nurse put a cold wet towel over my neck. What a relief that was.

I had that Korean info sent to me by an acquaintance the other day. Next day I was informed it was a hoax! Don't know what to think.

Sounds like a good idea since toll both operators are at risk of receiving & transmitting - but I wonder if the workers will get paid leave ?

I just got back from the grocery store where I went to pick up a few items and holy crap... there was plenty of everything on the shelves. Yes, even toilet paper and such staples as bread, eggs and milk, etc. You could tell a few items had been picked over a little more than normal but then again it was 10:30 AM on a Sunday so they may have just not got restocked from the usual Saturday rush.

Maybe that's the difference between living in a small town in rural Kansas and the big city. Sorry for all you city folk.

Just reading some local news. Store in New Kensington Pa completely sold out shelves bare from picture. Another story news crew went to as store saw some products remaining so they bought them. Then took picture of bare shelves. 2 guys bought hand sanitizer in Ohio and WV,started selling on Amazon and Ebay.Amazon and ebay closed their accounts. Article said guys are stuck with 70k bottles of sanitizer. If you believe media! Is it greed?

I hope that we will learn to not put all of our eggs in one basket. Peole say that ground zero for a pandemic can eminate from anywhere. But I don't believe that a country like Canada or the US would have the same propensity to incubate a disease like this. Simply put, we have standards. They don't. Then, we created an even bigger problem by making their economy strong and having them controlling manufacturing. So hopefully this will be a clarion call and it won't go back to business as usual.

Ohio has just shut down all bars and restaurants as of 9:00 PM tonight, carry out/drive thru, and delivery is still available. They want no sit down dining inside of the establishments.

During the news conference they cited the same graph that was in the article that Bart has posted. Evidently the staying at least 6 feet from each other is their barrier that will stem the tide of spreading the virus.

They have waved the 1 week waiting period for unemployment benefits for people temporarily being laid off due to the Wuhan virus. I'm not politically correct, and call it from where it started from, same as Ebola, Rocky mountain spotted fever, and all the rest. It's the Wuhan virus.

A reporter just asked the governor, if they closed all the bars and restaurants, why wouldn't the postpone the elections in Ohio? The answer wasn't very good saying that people didn't have to be close together to vote, and could spread out during voting.............

Stopped on my way out of Houston last night at an In-N-Out Burger.

Debated going in - but decided to order at the counter - washed my hands in the bathroom first.

Very young man at the counter looked scared to death - we talked - they probably will only have drive thru service soon - he is scared to work there he said.

Interstate LED overhead signs in Texas all have CV warnings.

It seems surreal as I travel across the country.

Bars & restaurants are closed in Ohio & Illinois - only delivery.

My schedule has been focused on attending the Chickasha Pre War Swap Meet in Oklahoma later this week.

Very big pre WW2 meet w/ folks driving in from all over the country.

Tulsa had a Directive issued Saturday banning events over 250 folks - Oklahoma governor declared state of emergency yesterday - I am expecting Oklahoma City to follow Tulsa today & issue public gathering ban which will cancel the meet.

Per the governor starting today at 3pm you can add Michigan to the list of states with bars and restaurants closed. Just carry out and delivery.

Go to eventcrazy.com to keep track of pre war swap meet. I was looking forward the the Cleveland County swap meet, this same weekend, it got cancelled yesterday.
THere's like one confirmed carrier in Oklahoma county and Canadian county, here, so everything is going bonkers. I work for a school. just got a text, the state is closing all schools till April 6th.
