The numbers speak for themselves. Better yet, come to where I live and see if you can get a test for it.
I think my statement pretty much outlines what is going on. No hype.

Well, Mississippi was in that boat.
But then someone went and got tested, Mississippi reports COVID-19 patient recently traveled to Florida
Darn, apparently some test kits leaked out.
Perhaps the ostrich mentality will change.
Dow futures over -1200.

Four confirmed cases here, cases in the counties north and south of where I am including the first known case of community transmission in the Buckeye.
Many more orders now in effect just 12 hours after I posted this. Hopefully these lockdowns and cancellations (and the many more to follow) can keep us within our hospitals' capabilities. Slow the roll, and let the process play out over the next year (rather than a 1 month burst) which will help us all in many ways.

Yes. Don't over run the hospitals. I posted about flattening the curve. That's what it is all about now.
Exactly. We all need to realize that while yes, this is a virus like the flu, it spreads much more rapidly. If the flu spread this fast, it too would overtake our hospitals. Once hospital staff is over run, it affects everyone... all health care is impacted. Heart attacks, strokes, car accident victims, pneumonia, etc. We'll get through this, but it will mean changes to most of our lives for the next several months at the least.

This situation greatly reminds me of my experience here (northeast Mississippi) in July 1990.
Gas prices were about $1/gallon, the world was fairly calm.
Then ****** Hussein invaded Kuwait.
The locals had a "so what, it doesn't affect me" attitude. I thought immediately the SHTF.
Well, I've been down here in Mississippi for 2.5 months now and up till today that was the same attitude.
It's changed, now the news reporters are acting like it may happen here. People are starting to stock up. Headlines like
Canned good shelves at Walmart seem to show stocking up is occurring.
People are starting to treat this as real, it can happen here.
