Better safe than sorry imo. Yes, the risk is super low and people are overreacting but why take any chances? Lets face it, a lot of these places aren't exactly the most hygenic even though they should be. Not worth risking your health but that's just me.

The World Media, in my opinion, has been very obsessed with the Cvirus! Hence, I will have an appointment with an independent Caucasian masseuse at her residence this week. I hope she keep her residence as clean as most amps. We will see.

Not as easy as it sounds..they will check even your social media to see if you have a real relationship...not like back in the day..simple interview..girl gets permanent residency within a year or two..divorce and done...nowadays you have to be married a couple of years

If you are in good health, Corona is not much different than the flu. Of course, if someone has a compromised system or other underlying issue, then Corona can be deadly just like the flu. There are confirmed cases of Corona in the United States, but then again their are confirmed cases of Tuberculosis also. We take a gamble everytime we go out in public.

Just wondering if anybody finds themselves changing their habits or "taking a break" from the normal routine due to all the Corona virus talk? From what I understand from some friends in the business is that things have really seemed to slow down across the board. Thoughts?
Has anyone seen discounted house fees yet? Seems like half off the house fee would be a good idea about now to keep business flowing?

Why would reducing the house fee affect whether you're scared or not? If someone doesn't feel comfortable going that's certainly there right but if a reduced house fee changes their mind then they were really never that scared to begin with.

The Corona virus is 20 times more lethal than the flu and particularly affects those who are 60 and older. That is the worldwide data so far..

The biggest problem is that you don’t know who they have seen that might have been exposed, or even if they have it but are asymptomatic. BIG CONCERN and mongering now is definitely not in your best interest or the greater good of doing everything possible to prevent the spread. I’m out for 30 days until I see how this progresses.

At this point there are 1600 confirmed cases nationwide. The population of the country is around 350 million! I understand preventative measures but some people are going nuts! Stop watching the news 24/7. 98% of the population may get it, have flu-like symptoms and move on.....

At this point there have only been about 5000 people tested . It is 20x more deadly than the flu. How many people even know if they have a compromised immune system or even know what an underlying condition can be ?? AND, i suspect that a very large % of us hobbyists fall into the age 60+ category where the mortality rates go up exponentially. If you don't believe the scientists, so be it. But don't spread reckless and dangerous rhetoric on this public forum. Person to person contact is what we engage in !!! You want to take it home to your family or give it to a provider who gives it any number of other families, that is your right. But keep it to yourself please.

It is bigger than that. Dr. Fauci stated that up to 70% of the population could become infected and of that 15% of the infected would have serious issues. The rest would have symptoms resembling a mild flu. At 15% that would be approximately 36 million. That would overwhelm our hospitals. The dollar cost would be staggering. At a one percent lethality rate it could kill two and a half million Americans. This is a real big
deal.

People r upset cos all of these sporting leagues and events are getting suspended, postponed or outright canceled. I say let's get our health in order first, this coming from a true sports junkie.
