The bottom line is that China is not telling the truth. When you lock down over 80 million people, shut down social media, treat anyone who has the virus like criminals. You have problems. China tried to cover it up, and it blew up on them. Everyone else was/is proactive. If this virus gets to India, Africa, South American, poor countries. It's game over for a lot of people for the lack of treatment.

I look for this virus to die out around April, May. If it comes back next winter. It may be stronger. That's what the spanish flu did.

When are you going on your cruise?

Alaska in Sept. before flu season starts.

Hope there's not a lot of chinese on the cruise. :icon14:

I'm a US-born Korean, and unfortunately, people classify me as "Chinese" simply because I'm Asian, and thus assume that I am infected. While I understand there is a mass panic created by the media and while I understand people don't want to get sick, the amount of looks I get wherever I go is astonishing, almost as if they have never seen an Asian person before. Sure, it has its perks (for example, when I go grocery shopping, people always move out of my way, and if not, I will purposely cough and that usually does the trick), and racism is nothing new to me, as I've experienced it since childhood even though I'm an American, but after this whole Wuhan virus outbreak, I'm viewed as an outsider. Not looking for pity, but I wish people would understand that not all Asian people are Chinese.

China got me fcuked up lol.

The demand for masks has skyrocketed. I travel a lot and looked into getting me some n95 masks at Amazon only to discover the degree of price gouging that has taken place. These vendors should be ashamed of themselves.

Sorry to say, but supply and demand :shakes head:
I wouldn’t want to do any traveling now a days

The problem with theses masks is that they are ineffective because the lack of seals around the mouth/nose area, meaning the virus can still enter your system.

2 weeks ago. Amazon was out of all N95's. I see now that the price has more than double. A 15 pack of 3M, Cool Flow is now $68.00. I paid $28.00 at Home Depot 2 weeks ago. We can't order them either. They're all back ordered. What's on the shelves is it.

No matter where you go, whether a brick/mortar store or online, everyone is out. For the select few e-places that have it in stock, such as Ebay or Amazon, they are charging an outrageous amount.

Update.

Are you guys a bunch of "World coming to an end guys"? Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

Nope.

Another communist bull$h!t flaw. Cover it up, pacify, minimize, disinform, extreme censorship, and suppression, and if all else fails, take away their liberties and forcibly put its citizens in a metal box and ship to them to who knows where.

Chernobyl -- F'N Chinese version.

What’s absolutely amazing is the people that are falling for that shitZ here
