I did all that plus eating a mud pie, and I rarely get sick either. Well, I didn't scratch your ass and pick your nose.

Edit: I just noticed that you also ate dirt, but I didn't live in other countries. We must be related.

We are both Tennesseans so we probably are related cuz.

Grandkids sure give your immune system a chance to work.

I haven't been sick in years and since she started going to daycare both me and the wife catch something from her a couple times per year. Her daycare should be considered a bio-weapons lab.

Shouldn't and not going to happen.

Why shouldn’t it?

Well, the symptoms of 2019-nCoV are like any other upper respiratory illness that's common. Probably people in your own neighborhood have "symptoms" of Wuhan Coronavirus but don't actually have the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Hopefully it's just something common.

That's incorrect. In some cases people are contracting pneumonia BEFORE showing any other symptoms such as fever or cough. This is like instant pneumonia for some people, and that's scary.

There and Africa is where I really don't want to see this spread.

Why are you concerned with Africa so much?

When the Coronavirus starts affecting 401k accounts, we've reached peak dumb.

Moved everything I have to a low risk cash account. I can live with missing out on a couple hundred dollars in next 30 days. By then I figure we will have a good idea if the global economy is taking a hit. Rather be too early than too late

You can't lock down a whole damn country because a few thousand people are sick.

If it goes down bc of this it will go back up when the crisis is over. Just ride it out.

Retirement-specific funds shouldn't go down.

Well, pt zero in US was how many days ago, then infected husband, add 14 days to see if the h2h shows any correlation to her flight or his contacts and that will basically tell us if this is pandemic.

CDC Telebriefing: Update on 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) | CDC Online Newsroom | CDC

Call in and listen to cdc daily updates

Listening to that CDC teleconference the CDC is apparently going with an incubation period of 5.2 days. They are sticking with the narrative that the woman and her husband in Illinois are in their 60's and they both have underlying conditions and that seems to be the population with the most risk for complication with this virus. It was stated that the woman is doing very well, she is essentially in the hospital for quarantine purposes. It doesn't sound like she is receiving much treatment. They didn't expound on the husband but stated he was in "stable" condition.

Retirement-specific funds shouldn't go down.

Sure they will, if the market goes down, but they will come back when the market does.

As of right now, this thing has a mortality rate of over 50%. That’s a huge risk to not stop travel.

8,000 cases and around 200 deaths is not a 50% mortality rate

 

[davethevol]

8,000 cases and around 200 deaths is not a 50% mortality rate

Less than 200 people have gotten over it.

 

[volfanhill]

Less than 200 people have gotten over it.

That still doesn’t in anyway represent a 50% mortality rate.
