China Corona virus

[California]

The casual way the world is allowing air travel along with the long incubation is a tremendous risk to world health.

A friend my wife worked with for years married a woman who was a travel agent in China. She wanted to live in the west, he's been fascinated by Asian women as long as we've known him. Some 15 years married now, they're a happy couple. But she still spends some time going to China to take turns caring for her widowed father when he needs it.

We saw him at a luncheon last week and he said his wife expected to be stuck in China for minimum two months. She's in a city far remote from Wuhan but the whole country is bordering on quarantining everybody.

Then yesterday we learned she is back home in California. I expect her connections as a former travel agent found some airline that is still flying. She said she will self-quarantine for a month here to be sure she isn't a danger to anyone.

If she flew home...which apparently she did.. she encountered dozens if not hundreds of people along the way..if she is infected... so are many others now.

My kimchi sauerkraut is some STRONG stuff, but even it may be defenseless. I am surprised that travel to and from China has not been stopped worldwide.

Never happen.
Think shareholders and dividends.

That's why quarantine rarely works.

Convid-19 from what I have been reading this morning is with us world wide. There is some talk of China stopping the quarantine for the masses because the ones sick with it are just a drop in the bucket to number of spreaders world wide already. There is some thought that in the USA the April-May time frame may be when we start seeing large numbers of Convid-19 (I did read this is the official Medical name for this virus) show up for treatment.

Convid-19 is not to be feared because fear never healed any sickness but Convid-19 should be respected. It is a virus so trying to prevent any virus makes sense to me especially Convid-19.

+1............... I'll just become more of a hermit than I am already. I really don't much care for people in general anyway.

No, more for digestive reasons. 5030 and I make homemade sauerkraut is all. I eat it every day, tonight I put it on my hambuger. Back to coronavirus.

My mistake. I thought that the benefit would be gastreous, so that people would keep their distance. :laughing:

You and I both know (from experience) that it is as well.....:laughing: Undecided what I'll can this year. Probably red with apple slices.

Yes_ but it looks like the market finally took notice of the Virus spread

DOW down over a 1000 points this morning and Gold on the rise.

Fine with me (gold). I have a few nice bars stashed away as in pounds. Price per troy ounce has been pretty stagnant. If it climbed appreciably, I'd sell some off.
