Judging by the spelling of "Tyre Centre" I would guess that it's not in the US.

I missed that. Must be Quebec, French spelling for Tars.

Yes it’s always wise to ignore experts.

as most businesses are doing

Dr. Fauci said today on Capitol hill that he expects 150 million Americans to get this.

Over what timeframe? A month? A year? 2 years? 5? Did he say he doesn't think hot summer temperuratures in the coming months will have no effect?

I think you're mixing up statements between Dr Fauci and Dr Brian Monahan. Monahan is the one that estimated between 70-150 million people might become ill.

It looks like the tournament won’t be played in front of any crowds. Colleges are cancelling classes. College students should be one of the lowest risk crowds with their age, which makes it even more stupid.

The market is in a complete free fall.

what do you define as panic?

That's the nature of the market gamblers can get a little nervous and panicky. You'll know people are panicking when they start fighting each other or looting for there needs.

Toilet paper prices should drop significantly in a year when people aren't buying because they still have 10 years worth.

Or will the TPPC (Toilet Paper Producing Companies) cut back on production to stabilize the price of toiler paper?

Maybe, I was listening to the tv from the kitchen. When I walked in front of it Dr Fauci was on.

We ever shut governments down because of the flu? Shut colleges down because of the flu? Played sports with empty arenas?

There's more but this listed should tell you the difference in this and the flu.

Everyone wants to be seen as doing something even if that something is being a moron

Makes me proud to be from Tennessee. At least I'm from East Tennessee and 500 miles away from these idiots.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I was told by a little bird that there is a confirmed case in Knoxville. Just hasn't been announced yet.

This is certainly germane to the Coronavirus thread. Thanks for posting.

Not pertinent to germ main thread.

Just got back from Walmart. We have like 3 rolls of TP left and 2 rolls of paper towels so I went to get some on the way home like a normal person. There were people filling two carts full of TP... CHILL OUT WITH THE TOILET PAPER HOARDING.

Dr. Fauci said today on Capitol hill that he expects 150 million Americans to get this.

Does he get his numbers from Joe Biden?

 

[allvol123]

That's not panic. That's someone or a board or a committee making a decision based on the best information they have.

No it isn't. It is cowardice. A trait of people that panic.

No sh$t. A foreign enemy couldn't have succeeded more at having government and business leaders, essentially in unison, drop to their knees.

One step ahead of you on that one.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

we're going to have to start using our hands

Or use old newspapers

LOL Trump just shews Abilio away like a fly. He's totally irrelevant...

 

[NurseGoodVol]

why are they not healthy ? did someone hold a gun to their head and say smoke cigarettes, drink heavily, do drugs and eat garbage foods ?

Nope, I'm sure they didn't. In my case i was exposed to asbestos in a rental home and have small airway disease, the beginnings of copd. Type 1 diabetics don't have a choice either since there pancreas doesn't produce insulin. Not everyone who has a disease is due to lifestyle.

Good. I hope it's my ex.

The place where I am at..... my daughter is playing in a basketball tournament and talking about taking the kids to the fair this weekend.

Prediction for 8 PM:

EL and LG wont be satisfied with anything Trump says tonight.
Luther wont be but he will try to mask it and do a poor job at it.
