    You know, for someone with such thin skin you seem to really invite some strong rebukes, posting total bullshit like this.
    I will curb what should be a perfectly acceptable response to this shenanigans, since I know you cannot take it.
    Cut the shit out, dude.  You are antagonizing at the wrong time.
    Thank you F Me

    So my old neighbor s sister who passed from this has probably infected her whole family.  Every single Sunday the entire family would get together for a big ole pasta dinner.  Eleven brothers and sisters.  I m not sure how many went to this particular dinner but the entire family is quarantined and a few others are in the hospital, one older family member is in a coma.  Details are slow to come out.  
    Be safe everyone.

    I’m sorry to hear this, and saddened by the elder member in a coma. Of course, hoping good outcomes for the balance of the family.

    This sucks. And for those who continue to doubt the health implications, this shit is real. Totally healthy individuals who get it, while less susceptible to the worse effects, can die. Viruses, once established can affect a healthy heart or other vital organ, particularly if the patient is unaware of an underlying health condition.

    Stay safe McGruff.

    Just saw this article about the woman who passed, explains the connection and how she passed it along.  I live in Howell, Freehold is the next town over.  Lots of my students go to the church that she taught in.  
    https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/new-jerseys-2nd-coronavirus-death-ided-as-religious-education-teacher.html

    A religious education teacher from Freehold has been identified as New Jersey’s second coronavirus death.

    Rita Fusco-Jackson, who was in her 50s and lived in Freehold, died on Thursday, officials said this weekend. The Co-Catherdral of St. Robert Bellarmine, based in Freehold, confirmed her name Sunday afternoon.

    Her death is connected to the death of John Brennan, a horse trainer who lived in Little Ferry. Brennan was the first New Jersey resident to die from COVID-19. Nationally, the coronavirus has killed 62 people.

    State Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli said one of Fusco-Jackson’s siblings is friends with Brennan, and the virus likely spread through a family gathering. Several other people at that gathering also tested positive for the virus, officials said.

    Fusco-Jackson’s family was also involved in harness horse racing, and she was one of 11 children, an obituary for her father says. She was both a parishioner and a teacher in the church’s confirmation program, the church said.

    “I ask that every member of the parish please remember the Fusco-Jackson family in their prayers as they deal with the loss of Rita and for all who have been impacted by COVID-19 here in the parish and throughout the nation,” the church said in a Facebook post.

    Another family member of Fusco-Jackson’s is a fifth grade religious education teacher at the church during the Tuesday evening service, and two younger family members are students, the church said. All three are self-quarantined and were not in class this week, the church said.

    As of Sunday afternoon, at least 98 cases of coronavirus have been reported in New Jersey. The rising number of COVID-19 positive tests in the state has forced the closure of the most public schools, the suspension of all new jury trials, and put curfews into place.

    I don't think what Thoughts posted is a direct quote. There have been lots of fake things thrown out by them this morning. It's unfortunated that this is easily believed because he says stupid vague shit all the time.

    Yes it is and after this he went to get a large bag of ice. Question is, was it cubed or crushed ice? =)

    People have talked about it. Haven't seen much shortage of toilet paper myself.

    This has just been released though, so will have to take a risky visit to the local Corona-infested store. Hopefully I will see this barren toilet paper aisle you speak of.

    Saw that too...wondered about pre-existing health in them.  Seems to be missing that statement one way or the other, which is kinda dumb.  When reporting on these things, they should be covering it all otherwise they are either making people worry for no reason or giving people to ignore real threats.

    Have you seen it mentioned anywhere with all the info?

    The world also needs to accelerate work on treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. Scientists were able to sequence the genome of the virus and develop several promising vaccine candidates in a matter of days, and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is already preparing up to eight promising vaccine candidates for clinical trials. If one or more of these vaccines proves safe and effective in animal models, they could be ready for larger-scale trials as early as June. Drug discovery can also be accelerated by drawing on libraries of compounds that have already been tested for safety and by applying new screening techniques, including machine learning, to identify antivirals that could be ready for large-scale clinical trials within weeks.

    I am hearing that stores are going to be limiting quantities of certain items to prevent hoarding.  Good idea.

    Our local Kroger wasn't too bad this morning.  Some stuff looked low but there was still plenty to eat there.

    Cincy,

    Looking at the mortality/age/pre-existing condition charts: the numbers at Hopkins site (accessed March 14) are identical to mid-February charts.

    Edit: deleting web link to medical journal as data is based on older outbreaks.

    Anecdotally, based purely on my own observations as a tourist and as a friend and coworker to quite a few people from France, curbing cigarette smoking never really took off in France. Being that this is a respiratory illness, I would think that the "healthy" younger folks likely have compromised respiratory systems from smoking cigarettes.
