I recently got Engaged. We are planning the wedding for June 2021. I joked with her that we should move the wedding forward. With groups limited to 10 or less, we'd save a ton on food and booze.

Iranian state TV warns millions could die from coronavirus. Apparently they are not real good at staying away from religious sites and putting their lips on stuff.

Chance all the old hard line leaders could get the virus and die and be replaced by younger people, who are not so anti-America. We can hope.

My out-of-state brother relayed that a local Wally World clerk told him people were trying to return TP so they could afford to pay their rent. So I may have a line on blackmarket TP.. :biggrinjester:

I've seen the memes about the old folks passing on and they being able to buy a farm for .37
I had to laugh. Like they could figure out what to do with a farm. :lol:

Good golly almighty! I watch Fox Business news. These clowns are comparing this to a war! My gawd! This country is chaulked full of suckers who will believe any kind of garbage the media will throw at it. I am disgusted by how Americans are acting right now. This thing is still a GREAT BIG JOKE compared to the seasonal flue! This hysteria is feeding on itself. The government is trampling Americans rights. I am no longer sure of who I can and can't count on when the government comes for my firearms. All they need is a good scare tactic and folks will fall like fleas hopping off a dog.

137,000 world, 5000 dead, 1700 in the US. Almost 15,000 in Italy. China is still holding near 80,000. What the graph shows is that the infection in China has leveled off while the rest of the world is increasing. The infected in the rest of the world is reaching the number in China. Of course this is if you believe China's numbers.

A news report said we exchanged missiles with Iran last night. That would normally be a big deal.

There was no meat in the meat department at HEB last night. People figured out they cannot eat TP or live on water alone.

Trump has been exposed to the virus by meeting with the president of Brazil.

My 401k is down 37% (not all of that is the Coronavirus's fault as oil is not having a good week either)

My email basket this morning was full of "how Chic fil A is responding to the Coronavirus" type stuff. It's good to see the CEO's are keeping busy.
169,387 world, 6513 dead, 3774 in US. 24,745 in Italy with 1809 deaths. China is still holding near 80,000. What the graph shows is that the infection is higher now in the rest of the world. Of course this is if you believe China's numbers. Texas has 77 of which 30 are in the Houston area.

Change in 3 days.
March 17, 2020.

196,639 world. 7893 dead. 5894 in US. 32,506 in Italy with 2503 deaths.

Houston at 36.

Change in one day.

For comparison, between Oct. 1, 2019 and March 7, 2020, the US had between 36,000,000 and 51,000,000 cases of the flu, 17,000,000 to 24,000,000 of which required medical visits, 370,000 to 670,000 of which required hospitalizations, and between 22,000 and 55,000 deaths caused by the flu.

You can't count on anybody but yourself. I gave up on people along time ago. I've always been a loner even as a kid. I hunt and do most things by myself except when my son's are with me. The people in this country today sure ain't like the " greatest generation " from the 40's.,
