Your comment,Terri does not comfort me. The USA is going bonkers everyone is scared sh##tless! we will survive!

+277 new Hygiene is the key Clue,,wash your hands as often as you can...

After commenting, I've seen 4 fire departments on Facebook that have had to cancel breakfast or suppers. These are volunteer dept's and this is a big way they get money for new equipment. All the dinners are donation. If this virus is just starting, it's gonna hit hard. Be a good time to add a little prayer for those infected and for those affected.

G'day JD,Aussie has 156 infections and 3 deaths,,all of the deaths were over 70 years old..the younger people can overcome it,,>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

A doctor just stated on tv that the average age of people (in USA) contracting the virus is 44. Our Prime Minister's wife Sophie, has tested positive. We all know so little about what will happen next. :(

Yes Quacker,more younger people are going to contract the virus because their are more younger people out there mixing in society,but the deaths are among the older people,,

Okay then, I don't like being 78 years old. lol

Quacker,just tell the virus your 50,,it might leave you alone and go elsewhere..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

I'm also concerned for several friends who are, of course, in my age group and some with other health issues, making it more serious. Nothing to do but pray and wait it out.

16/3/2020..on our news right now,Quacker, i hope this link opens in other countries..https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2020/02/10/sydney-researchers-make-coronavirus-breakthrough.html

Like a lot of people our age Quacker,,between my wife and i,we have heart,diabetes,high blood pressure problems,,gotta be careful..>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

About 2 weeks ago, we had a "break through" here in Canada too. Unfortunately, it's only the very beginning of a vaccine being developed. It takes months or years before there is a vaccine. Still good to hear that scientists all over the world are working on it. (We are probably driving JDB crazy with notifications.)

Quacker,,JD now has a heap of reading material..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Terry, Ducky, it's nice to follow this post. Nope your not driving me crazy. But it's getting serious. Ohio just shut down all bars and restaurants. I understand the social distance but this is a little much in my opinion. Where are truck drivers going it eat for one. I personally don't think it's going to stop here. I just took 3 weeks off because they closed schools. I will love the time with Bailey but we have bills, and a house payment.

G'day JD,the social distance is important,,if a person standing in front of you and talking,,the experts say the virus can travel up to 1 metre and a half,,from the mouth in breath droplets..as for the trucker,i suggest he take a cut lunch..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

It's the same everywhere. Schools closed, movie theatres, all sports stopped, doctor/dental offices closed, health care centers (except emergencies). It goes on and on. We also have people who are busy starting false rumors which doesn't help. Our top medical advisers are telling people that it's time to just stay home. That unfortunately, doesn't work for many people, such as yourself JDB. I wish you the best and hope that this all ends soon.

Best of luck Benny..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

"Heat" killing the virus is just another guess, just like things closing down for "2 weeks". Why two weeks? Do we think that it will be all gone in 2 weeks? People are going overboard with guesses similar to the worry about toilet paper.

The reason the heat comes into play Quacker,the virus will survive over 20 days on a solid surface in the cold,, This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment)...The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.

Why thank you Dr. Fossil. Some doctors agree with most of your information and some do not. Even the CDC (Center for Disease Control) admits to having various opinions but they are trying their best to figure it out. I think I'll stick with the (so called) experts. :)

Quacker,the first line is mine,the rest is a copy and paste from the CDC...however this is the explanation of an EXPERT..>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..:):):)..

I have my doubts about people hoarding stuff Tom,,i just had a look on ebay,and i was shocked at the number of people selling toilet paper and the amount of toilet paper they were selling..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

and here we are a month later Tom,,218,000 dead world wide,,and some countries are just getting started,,bad times ahead Mate for the world..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

This answer sounds familiar! In fact I believe I saw that answer before from some other member! Isn't that strange???

Are you saying the answer is wrong or right Clu..????>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

clu is saying that ThomasJoe has copied her answer, word for word. (I just saw this now.) Should I get rid of him clu or make him go and sit in the corner? lol

LOL@Ducky! I thought for a minute I had 2 accounts!

Two clus for double the fun! :)

Thanks Quacker....>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
