[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 756103, member: 23742"] Hi Copa, so far this is not happening where I’m living. There has been only one confirmed case in my state. My husband just shopped and bought a case of bottled water with no problem. I don’t use bleach so not sure how that is holding out. I hope everyone who has concerns will take a moment to watch some of the specials they are having on most of the networks to alleviate some of the fears and provide factual information about the Coronavirus. I watched one on CNN last night and I would provide a link here to some excerpts, but I’m not good at copying links from my Ipad. There is also one on ABC 20 20 as I write this, 9:00 p.m. But excerpts of the CNN special are on the web— it was a town hall with Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Very helpful toward alleviating some of my concerns. They interviewed a man who looked to be in his late fifties or maybe sixties, who had been on the cruise ship and had the virus and was quarantined. He explained what it felt like and what the symptoms are. He actually said in his case, he felt the flu or even a cold felt much worse except that he did get a high fever. But in a few days it broke. A doctor spoke afterward who said that this was the typical experience of most patients. However, the concern is to keep the virus from spreading to elderly folks who have underlying health conditions, ie. diabetes, heart disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), etc., as this virus spreads much more rapidly than the flu and is more lethal in the case of those with health issues. And of course, there is no vaccine as yet. I realize that other cities are experiencing more severe outbreaks which can cause panic, but the experts who spoke last night emphasized that this is not like the “black death” and to try and stay calm and just practice good hygiene, whether you are sick or not. And don’t fret if your grocery store is out of hand sanitizer. Soap and water and a good 20-second hand wash works just fine. Stay safe and healthy, everyone! [/QUOTE]
