Some of the Chinese doctors and nurses have now died..but they are saying fatigue played a part.

Trump being less non-chalant as the cases nationwide increase. He’s got a lot of catching up to do.

Looks like we are living in the right place.

Very biased reporting. Doesn’t mention that in Mexico there is more human to human interaction, water is not properly treated, lack of and poor variety of frozen foods and poor sanitary conditions in many places.

But we have tequila which cures all...........the only part that is really going to affect a lot of us is tourism will be way down until this thing blows over.

Some say that Trumpies are immune to the effects of COVID-19. By associating with Trumpies one can increase one's own resistance to this pestilence. It is now being advised that anybody displaying symptoms of COVID-19 would be well advised to attend a Trump 2020 rally. If you are truly ill go to two or three rallies. Twisted Evil

I like the way you think.

Dr. Sam is giving a talk on Upper Respiratory Disease at 2-4 pm tomorrow, March 5 at the Presbyterian Church in Riberas.. It was scheduled prior to COVID arrival, but he will be discussing the corona virus, what is happening, etc.. I am sure it will be a very interesting Q&A as well.

FYI, did u see a NY attorney contracted it - no travel to anywhere, does commute via train to Westchester suburb. 50 y/o, had underlying condition, but now in critical condition.. His wife, 2 kids & 'neighbors who took him to hospital' all tested positive.. and then the Cruise woman quarantined at Lackland who had 2 negative tests & then turned positive...

It's going around and they won't be able to stop it. They can't stop the regular flu and colds. Its only a matter of time before Mexico has 100's of cases......

From Reuters today...

Among public events to be canceled or postponed is the global release of Daniel Craig's last outing as James Bond. The world premiere of "No Time to Die", planned for March 31 in London, with 5,000 attendees, has now been postponed till November.

Now it’s Pompeo’s turn to be stupid. After downplaying the gravity of the situation he turns around and blames China for Trump’s inept handling.

What scares us geriatrics is the fact that over 70% of the medicines that keep us alive are imported from China and/or India. Shortages are expected as factories reduce production due to the pandemic.

by Jreboll Sun Mar 08, 2020 10:44 am

Get your supply ahead of time, antibiotics, Robitussin and anything else you use

RVG, aren't you close enough to the border to go into Mexico to buy your meds?

Do you all know that the hospital that China built, practically overnight, to house the corona virus pts has collapsed? Last I read, 70 people trapped in the rubble.

by gringal Sun Mar 08, 2020 11:01 am

I read an article that said it was a hotel where people had been quarantined, rather than the hospital.

Yes, we are. However, I am not able to walk up and over the bridge any more. Frustrating, to say the least.
I am keeping my eye out for a passing ice flow and hope to catch a ride.......

Some of these fancy meds that the doctors are prescribing still can’t be found in Mexico or if they are combinations the combinations are different.

So Ted Cruz may have been exposed to the virus. Champagne is in the fridge ready to be popped if he gets sick and if he croaks I will declare a national holiday. Very Happy

On another note, there was a debate about could the stock market be manipulated ? Well I think the Saudis have answered that one.
