China Corona virus

[Alien]

Should I worry?

A person I know attended a reception last week that was attended by a roomful of Chinese investors.
I was in his presence for 2 hours on Friday.

Yesterday he was down with a very bad 'flue like cold', so I was told.

I would certainly be concerned. Take plenty of Vitamin C. Keep a distance from others if you can until you see if his develops.

I hate following stuff like this. Can I set my phone to get an alert when the toll hits 90 million or something? Then, I will start worrying. Any need to worry about all those little E-Packets I get from China on a weekly basis?

IT. I too am concerned. My wife ordered a blouse back in December. If it arrives we will not be touching it. Probably just burn the package. Over-reaction? Not for my wife who suffers from OCD. She would never be able to wear it now if it arrives. I also ordered some special crystal lens glasses that are due in the next couple of days. I need them badly. I will spray them with coloidal silver and put them in the sun for a few hours.

Dr. Oz said that 1 out of a 1000 die from the flu bug each year here in the U.S. with the coronavirus it is 1 out of 50.

Yikes!

Just wondering...It probably would only take a story (true or false) to get out that someone here in the US caught the virus from contaminated merchandise (say from like Wal-Mart or Home Depot etc.)...to set off a massive boycott and complete rejection of all goods from China...

Good God no!. who in their right mind would ever go to china, past or present??:shocked:

^^ That's what I keep wondering. I can't think of a single reason why I ever would have wanted to go there.

Ordered some electronic components just a week or so back from china.

Just got notification that my account had been credited back.

Not sure if that means the people are sick that sell the parts or that shipping has been halted for air mail stuff or other reason.

Was thinking that I would not handle the parts without spraying them down with some kind of disinfectant. No need now since they are not being shipped.

There is always a delay this time of year for the Chinese New Year. Not sure when it ends. I just wait til after to place any new orders.
