Coronavirus Thread: Boy, guys. I really just don't know. Best to keep tabs.

For us here in Kansas took a hit yesterday and today. 3 NEW Cases here in Kansas yesterday all in Johnson county contacted from conference in Florida .
Today which is not good. A Doctor at Wesley Hospital confirmed their 1st case. They are doing everything to protocal which is good - - isolation , restricted visitors - -seperate entrances, The thing that concerns me here though yes the patient if confined , which is GOOD BUT the question becomes where did this one contact the virus at - -and how long did they inner act with other people in and around the Wichita area not even knowing they were infected ?
My concern here is Wichita one of our bigger cities here in Kansas if several coming in contact with individual. - -This could become one of what they are calling community type situation this would not be good because it could really spread throughout in the area. -keeping fingers crossed
-
President Trump going to beholding news conference, going to be or expected to Announce National State of Emergency as Hospitals are expecting spike/surge in cases and patiences and trying to find space/beds
Also talking about millions of kids home from school fromvirus - -schools shutting down and putting the question out when is it time to shut ALL schools down?
My daughter having to take he step daughter to the Dr not doing well she has something - -got fever/runny nose & cough right there in Wyndotte county- - -Great

CDC chief has the right vested in law to declare that he will pay for all coronavirus tests and promised to do so when questioned about it.
-
Bernie Sanders to talk at 3 about the crisis.

@jayballer73 wishing her the best man. Scary times. Get in and get out.
He should have declared shutting the schools down the first time around. But he’s a stupid a-hole, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

thanks appreciated just keeping fingers crossed. It’s been my understanding that this really isn’t effecting the kids like elderly Thing is though even though younger may not be as effected as much they can STILL be carriers… – So many can have such mild cases they don’t even realize they have it. - -some may get tested and be so mild it can come back negative and you STILL have it crazy
-
Trouble with schools shutting down is who is going to take care of the kids, the parents right? A lot of those parents are nurses, EMT’s, and other critical personal needed during this epidemic. It is one of those damned if you do damned if you don’t problems. Keeping the kids safe is my gut instinct but at the same time I worry we will be missing people we need to keep sick people alive.

Think any of us will get it?
It’s probable one of us on the board gets it. It’s remote any of us don’t get through it.
It’s likely one of us already HAS it, but with mild symptoms, so we do not know. But that also means we could be contagious.

Cancelling the KU Buckets meet and greet!
-
Crazy how this went from many people saying Ahhhh they are blowing this out of proportion to getting ready to go to a NATIONAL state of Emergency. - how this cases have just took off like a country side wild fire energized by 45 Mph winds >
My neighbor and I said before this even come close to this like 2 1/2 weks ago - -we said LOOK OUT and I told her at the time - -you watch we not even gonna have the tournament this year , SURE ENOUGH.
But you know what bottom line is as much as it sucks Life is more important , health is more important then ANY sporting advent. -Ya I am one of those in area of concern - -I certainly don’t want to see any of my friends sick/or worse - believe it or not there will always be other opportunities for the Championship , you only get one chance at life. - Yes true most will make it with out things like that BUT still just the thought/that remote chance. Why would we wanna throw 10 gallons of gasoline on an open fire
-
They just didn’t need to cancel it on my birthday for heavens sakes!!
-
@Kubie Happy Birthday, Kubie!

happy bday!

Oh buddy I needed that laugh thanks for that lmao - get ready for 4 more years of President Trump.Especially if it’s that Radical Sanders what an idiot lmao

@jayballer73 the important thing, in my opinion, for regular Fox viewers to consider is that the reasons behind the progressive agenda are valid.
We need to ensure the health of our citizens (see our current predicament).
Our citizens need enough wealth to be able to deal with unforseen circumstances without financial ruin (see our current predicament).
Our citizens need healthcare and time off from work that is adequate (see our current predicament).
The financial powers behind the Republican party and Fox news do not want any of these problems addressed. If you don’t agree with Bernie Sanders solutions that does not make these problems go away. But notice no mention of any real solutions to these problems coming from the right.
This is the boiling point.
Consider one man who wants to do something about it and another that wants to pretend the problem doesnt exist (see Trump saying that there are 15 cases and that number is going down 3 weeks ago when this problem could have been contained) and now is showing complete incompetence in handling the issue.
Give me the guy who actually gives a shit about this country and other people.
Bernie Sanders would murder Donald Trump in a debate.

Wellif you want as you say the Right man then I guess your not talking about Sanders - -so I guess you need to go and campaign for the right guy
-
@jayballer73 actually if you agree that the issues I listed are important right now, I am arguing that these are the exact issues Bernie Sanders has been talking about and focused on for 30 years. Nobody cares more about these issues than Bernie Sanders.
Give me Sanders in the White House and a democratic house and Senate. The House and Senate will be close to Center and a lot will get done.
To clarify, my point is Bernie would murder Trump in a debate right now. In the general, I don’t know. I wish people would realize that the issues raised by progressives are the real issues even if the solutions aren’t as practical as they would like.
We need to strive for the right goals right now.

well if he has been on these for as you say for 30 years then just goes to show people’s faith/and trust in him still hasn’t won a election .Got murdered in his own state in this campaign - Sanders will never be the President to many do not have any trusting him. I am not ties to any affilation, i’m going to stop I’m not getting into Political Bs on our sports site your welcome and entitled to your values and idea’s - as am I an din no way would I ever support Bernie.
I appreciate you man we have talked I’ am more concerned with some other things right now worried about my own daughter and this virus. - You stay safe my friend

@jayballer73 all good. You stocked up to ride this one out a while?

Bernie is not a radical. He’s barely left in most of the world.

He’s pretty far left in Scandinavia, the UK, and Germany for sure. Not really anywhere do they consider a wealth tax, no out of pocket health expenses, and phasing out nuclear power good ideas. Germany did the nuclear power thing and killed thousands from additional air pollution. Scandinavia used to be more like what Bernie wanted but they realized fairly quickly it’s basically impossible to pay for and growth slows to a halt. So they decided to high levels of consumption taxation, killed the wealth tax with fire, and reduced taxation on capital to very competitive levels internationally. And now they’re competitive internationally because of that and a significant oil endowment. Bernie is more like the lefties in France where public spending as % of GDP is like 60% and the labor market is so tightly regulated no businesses hire because you can’t legally fire someone without a long, drawn out legal fight. They also have a great nuclear sector, which Bernie wants to end. He’s kind of Jeremy Corbyn in a lot of ways, minus the anti-semitism (though many of Bernie’s high profile surrogates are rabid anti-semites. He’s never been able to surround himself with good people.)

Just remember we are electing the leader of the USA, not the world… I’m no Bernie fan, though this is a moment that he can seize… and he clearly sounds more sensible next to Trump… but somewhat in the same way a turd is less dangerous than a toxic waste dump.

They haven’t talked about the restaurant industry but it’s going to get crushed. Nobody will want someone else preparing their food.

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.
Good thing we all have access to healthcare and modern medicine now…

@FarmerJayhawk besides the England guy going full derp I think my favorite thing so far is the yellow jackets in France still protesting. Hard no from me to leave my house more than absolutely necessary for at least two months.
The better health one is in the better off you will be with this. I hope this is a wake up call for those that need it.

To be fair a lot of GOP governors have done a good job (Charlie Baker in MA, Mike DeWine in OH, and Bill Lee in TN come to mind). I think it’s really bringing out who’s capable of doing more than campaigning.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah just reading more about the corona virus sick leave bill and feeling disappointed that dems allowed the republicans to get an exemption for employers with more than 500 employees which ends up being about half of all workers. And honestly if Super Tuesday were this coming Tuesday I think the dem result might be a little different.
It’s not really a dem v rep thing and leaders all around need to step up right now or step aside.

Yeah, that’s what happens when they rush a bill through. Members only got 20 minutes to read it before the vote. No way to run a legislature. They’re going to re-run the bill this weekend because there were significant errors. It’s shocking, I know

@benshawks08 I’d pass out in that congested mess!

just following on this dam thing , and it spreading like wild fire. 272 new confirmed cases in less then 6hours. Total confirmed for the United States now is 3,324 cases with 63 deaths - 3 new deaths in this 6 hour time and a long way to go I’m afraid.
I think what is making this more some staggering to this guy is , that I’m just not used to something like this in my lifetime.
I’m just not used to seeing something of this magnitude in this Nation that I love , guess I’ve been lured into a false sense of security. - -Just thought our nation was to good for something like this to happen. - -Another NBA player Confirmed to have it. - -A college Basketball player has been confirmedto have it ,no name - - no school but a College player - -NOT GOOD
-
This is why it’s so important to stay home over the last few days and the next 2 weeks at least while still trying to minimize risk after that.
