MtnMama Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Haven't you heard? We are calling it 'corona flu' and all those scary numbers are a hoax. Got to keep up people. I for one am glad I'm in Mexico. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgreenbury Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thanks, Ferret for pointing out an angle I hadn't considered. This Webboard could actually be a valuable resource if contributors would share info they come across from reputable sources; it's hard to stay on top of everything with the situation changing daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I could note help to noticed under the thread "looking for a good acupuncturist" that there is a response from an acupuncturist from Guadalajara who among other things says he just returned from Shanghai...

What caused my decision is the fact that China was locking down cities bigger then Guadalajara..... The Chinese doctor who first recognized the CV died from it.

ezpz Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 No need for panic. Follow common sense precautions and the CDC statements, and stay away from crowds. I cancelled my own trip to Italy, sad, but CV has spread exponentially there, and that is the scary part. It is reasonable to assume that smoking would predispose you to any kind of respiratory infection. In Spanish, I tell people "Besos de Lejos" - kisses from afar - with a nice wave and smile.

RVGRINGO Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Why panic? No matter if the virus gets you or not; you are still going to die sooner now than you were yesterday........I thought everyone knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Blair Posted March 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Knowledge is power. Percentages don't matter. Be it any kind of virus, for those that die, the death rate is 100%. I just made an updated post on what the AMA (American Medical Association) found. Google it. As to those who want to bash me for posting authoritative information, have fun. But if what I post can help even one person, then it's worth it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people who are interested in keeping up to date with the info on CV are perfectly capable of researching the latest info themselves. They don't really need you to start about 10 topic posts on it in order to stay informed. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PV they waddle across to the Walmart across the street, a place I steer clear of anyway. Thankfully, I doubt any of them go shopping at the upholstery supply shop I frequent.

Mainecoons Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I'm killing those corona viruses with some great local Tequila from Sandy and Daniel. Highly recommended as a sure fire preventive.

Mexican Chief Epidemiologist says the health authorities weren’t notified..... Just what is Mexico doing to prevent the spread of this virus? So far the President let two different cruise ships on two different coasts debark, one of which has many passengers and crew with the virus. I haven't read anything about the government preparing for an outbreak other than there are three hospitals in Guadalajara ready to accept patients. The populace appears to be paying attention however as they seem to be stocking up on some items, ie hand sanitizer. As for me, I am washing my hands, LOL.
