It is interesting to note that the fatality rate in each country varies greatly. I suspect this is due to the inconsistency in testing.



"There are now 107,897 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 3,658 deaths, according to the latest figures from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering's Centers for Systems Science and Engineering. More than 60,000 people have recovered worldwide. The novel coronavirus was first identified in December in Wuhan, China. Though China's Hubei Province had the majority of cases and deaths since the outbreak began gaining steam in January there, that percentage is changing as the number of cases in Europe, in particular, has increased significantly over the past week. Case counts in Iran, Italy, and South Korea continue to rise, but so are the number of cases in France and Germany. Iran has 6,566 cases and 194 deaths; Italy has 5,883 cases and 233 deaths; South Korea has 7,314 and 50 deaths. In France now, there are 949 cases and 11 deaths, while Germany has 1,039 cases and zero deaths. In the U.S., there are 469 cases and 19 deaths."

I drink tap water at home and at work. On the road mostly bottled just because I get it free at the hotels.

What’s different this time is the over-the-top media hype combined with sheeple unable to think for themselves.

This should cut the Costco crowds at least in half.

Coronavirus outbreak means Costco shoppers can say goodbye to free samples

Just got back from BJ's. Plenty of TP to be had. I have my normal supply in my garage, so I left it all there for the panickers. They are welcome.
