The one thing that needs to be stressed is keeping your immune system in hyper drive. Your body knows best how to defend itself. Doctors can assist at most and drugs, for the most part are designed to mask symptoms, at the cost of side effects. It is your body that defends itself and rebuilds after an attack. Even a compromised immune system is better when it's operating at 100% of it's abilities.

I was initially thinking this might not be that big of a deal, and was thinking this would blow over. However with all the recent shut downs, I’ve taken a more better safe than sorry attitude with respects to mongering. To each their own, stay safe and stay healthy!

Wait for the summer, COVID-19 cannot survive in temp above 90F
And even if u caught it.. not that u will die, it is a small %age.
You know yourself, your immune system. If you are the one that visits doc every 2-3 months, stay away from this hobby

You know this how????? Your body temp is greater than 90 degrees. Don't take this lightly!

I dropped off my MacBook Air to Apple last Wednesday for maintenance. They called and said its ready. But, they prefer to ship it to my home to minimize customers from coming in due to Cvirus. Must be serious!!! I accepted their offer to ship my MacBoon Air at their expense.

How is it possible they know that the virus can't exist above 90 degrees? It hasn't been around long enough to know that. Unless BillaBong can back up that statement with some references?

Caronavirus, Caronavirus, Caronavirus, blah, blah, blah, do you all have nothing better to do? Yes we have a problem but your babble, the babble on the news, everyone's incessant babble on social Internet is not going to make anything better.

Just quit being know it alls and naysayers, we will get through this.

I used to joke that if I got the Corona virus ... I would find a woman with Lime Disease. It ain't a joke anymore.

Sounds familiar to the initial response from our leaders in DC. I like science and FACTS !!!

A veritable wealth of misinformation. Facts and sources please.

I disagree, Wayne. It takes a lot of babble to recognize how serious this is. I was firmly in the "wait until there's a case nearby before worrying" camp until there was enough babble and enough science posted that the time to worry, and the time to change behavior, is now.

Yes, we know it's bad, but over hyping it is of little value. The news is already doing a great job of reminding us of this unfortunate probem. Their over sellong only makes it worse.

This will all pass.

We still have only two handfuls of cases nearby. Hopefully, a two week hiatus will be enough to slow it down.

The panic caused by the over reaction, no toilet paper or water in the food store yesterday. The meat bins were empty. It's like the news of a blizzard but worse.

But what we all do best is to over react to everything, whether good news or bad news.

Well, Wayne, where should I start ? Over hyping ? Do you see what is happening in other countries ? Italy didn't do shit. Spain was almost as bad. Yes, this all will pass, but are you saying that the precautions being taken are really ineffective, or not worthwhile? Are you saying that Covid 19 is not really that serious ? Are you a public health officer, or a spa web site guru ? This isn't about the impact of this public health emergency on the spa business, is it? Sounds like our fearless leader's concern about the stock market !!

We still only have a few handfuls of cases so far? That is the most ignorant and irresponsible thing you have said so far. We have tested almost nobody so far, only the obviously sick. We have NO IDEA of how many cases there really are and how widespread this is. Every "expert" on the subject has said there will be a huge spike once the testing is widespread. So, what does your two week hiatus entail ? Spending time as usual with friends and family and neighbors ? Pissing and moaning because you didn't go out and prepare for what the "experts" were telling you would happen and now you go find empty store shelves. Quit complaining and blaming shit on everyone else, you sound just like the dumb ass who is "leading" this country. We are not leading anything, we are following, and playing catch up, as usual !!!

We haven't prepared well for any real emergencies in the past. Katrina, Puerto Rico, Sandy, fires, oil spills, contaminated drinking water supplies ? But we got the biggest, baddest, killing machines the MIC can buy and deploy. And, compared to the rest of the developed world, the worst fucking infrastructure there is. Have you traveled internationally? When IKE developed the interstate system, it was done for emergency planning and mobilization. Our health care system is an embarrassment on the world stage. But them health care industries have profited handsomely. And now, we try to fire up an emergency response to this virus, but don't even have a clue how bad it is yet?

Hopefully, a two week hiatus will slow it down. Hope won't do anything !!!

You my frien are an example of over reacting. My first line was yes it is bad.

Your rant here is just another over reaction. We have had many virus scares, we will get thru this but your rant is meaningless to solving the problem.

Life suck has officially begun. Wife asked in middle of my 1st cup of coffee this AM "What projects are we going to do this weekend since there's nothing else to do?" Thank God she's a nurse who has to go to the hospita 3 days a week! This is really going to blow!
Life suck could be very close for me. My wife could retire at any time. I am going to have to get very creative to get out.
