This is the type of article that drives me crazy. The only way to beat this thing is to change our daily lives. Is that hysteria, you bet, no American wants to change how they live. However, even if this disease does not affect you, you could pass it to someone who has a compromised system and it become a death sentence. I don’t care if the media wants to control other people’s fears and emotions, we need to practice restraint and remain isolated for a period of time. The moment you tell people not to fear, they will fear and then they will wonder why you are trying to control the narrative. This situation has not happened in our lifetime, some hysteria should be expected and understood, not controlled. We should be respectful of others around you, In the end will we survive.

Mecklenburg County now reporting 77 cases, Durham County reporting 39, and Wake County reporting 33. Mecklenburg County jumped up quickly, that’s not encouraging.

Man Italy reported another 793 dead just today. I hope we can change the curve for us or this country will report similar numbers.

Depends if the neighbors cat is missing.

Yes I realize that. What I am trying to convey is that we would have passed the asymptotic period, so people would not unknowingly pass it along. Those that are sick can seek treatment and stay away from the public. If not every American will catch this virus, it is almost impossible to miss it. Also, the longer this thing goes the deeper this recession and depression will last. It could be decades before we recover. What we do as a public now, determines how bad this will be in America.

Post of the year

No I’m not, it is what China did to stop the disease. I trust them as far as I can throw them, but if we can stop the spread of this disease, we can treat those that are affected, and begin to recover.

Yes I think two weeks. Those that are asymptotic will have gotten sick. We can begin to stop the spread of this disease. If we can stop the spread we can begin to recover.

Ok I just read news this morning that the government expects to lose over 2.25 million jobs this month alone. Other news agencies are stating that our economy may hit depression era level by mid summer. I would like to believe that if we force everyone to stay home for two weeks this nightmare would be over. I think it is the only answer.

LOL maybe one too many layers, that’s ok.

Here in Greensboro the local county jail is releasing all inmates with low bond amounts. I don’t know if that is to keep people away from the jail, or make room. One can wonder either way.

Richard Burr knew what was going on back in Feb and told a group of local leaders. Then sold all of his hospitality stock. Remember Burr is the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. https://www.greensboro.com/news/local_news/burr-gave-stark-covid--warning-to-private-group-weeks/article_3feca670-81e2-5c8a-81d6-f6c9d15871ee.html

Yes I knew about the spam email campaign. This was different, I kind of wonder if the news from California has something to do with it. I don’t know, but this person was serious.

I just received a call from a reliable source inside a federal agency. They told me that they expect habeas corpus to be suspended and Marshall Law deployed in the near future. They could not go into detail, so something must be up. Wow folks, that is unheard of, just wow.

I’m not blaming anyone, I’m simply stating that our news sources have an agenda, and it is not the will or protection of the people, it is to serve their political affiliations over public health.

Where are the “Nothing to see here “ folks now? This is a disease that comes about once in a 100 years. There are too many people playing politics instead of heeding warnings. America has got to do something about its tainted news sources, as it is costing us lives. News sources that cater to a political party should be forced to label themselves entertainment, and leave the word news for unbiased reporting stations that report fact not conjecture or propaganda.

Sending my prayers!

Guilford County now has one patient with Coronavirus, Forsyth has 4 I believe, Wake county has 15, and Durham County has 16, 15 of which are Duke students that traveled recently. Bunker down folks, this is no joke.

New Jersey has instituted a curfew, no travel between the hours of 8pm-5am. Wow.

Look on the bright side, if you do catch it, you could sell your blood as a vaccine to the highest bidder after you get better.

H.G. Wells wrote a novel about just this topic. War of the worlds, it was an infectious disease that stopped the alien invasion, not human aggression. This is not the first deadly virus in human history, and it will not be the last.

I am not advocating fear just common sense. Folks all of the numbers you see on the TV are at least 1 1/2 to 2 weeks behind. The incubation period is five days and the test is three to five days. There is a good chance that the virus is already around us and in our communities. Florida just sent in over 500 tests so expect our numbers to jump substantially in the coming days. Stay safe out there guys, we live in troubled times.

I agree with part of your statement. However, I honestly believe Trump makes himself look bad. The guy clearly has very little education and no sense of bipartisan solutions. It’s either his way or the highway. Trump is a failed reality TV star with a large wallet and a small mind and vocabulary. They say, it’s very very very true.

Northern Guilford High School north of Greensboro has been shutdown for cleaning. Guilford county school board in an emergency meeting. Students have been in contact with a potential Coronavirus patient. https://www.greensboro.com/news/education/update-northern-high-school-and-gateway-education-center-closed-for/article_f1a18fd8-5461-555f-9140-c8b49532f217.html

Anyone want to bet that all schools in NC will be cancelled in the next week or so?
