Yeah things are getting crazy in South Carolina. I seen it coming and stocked up on food and pet feeds. Our house is normally well stocked, but didn’t want to run out of dog food etc.
It’s funny every body had a buggy full of TP, and here I am with 300 rounds of 357 bullets, lol. I take the virus seriously, but more worried about people in a panic

Which is why, with low testing we have few ppl with corona. The more tests that become readily available and given, the more positive Corona viruses we will see. Numbers of infected ppl will rise as testing increases.
I strongly assume that the number of actually infected are much higher than we now know due to the little symptoms that some of us will get.

The grocery shelves are still full of actual food.
Just not the products already mentioned.
I've also still been able to get pet food and insects.
The issues might be when and if the stores close and everything is by delivery only.

I wonder if we've had a TFO member with the virus yet. I mean, statistically we should have..
How long do the symptoms present?. If you get ill... How long does it last?
Not a lot has been said officially.

I honestly think it's been spreading here already for a few months and we just weren't aware of it. Some people could of already had it and not even know.

That's my thought too.
I know a few people that were really sick a month or so ago.
I still have a scratchy throat and itchy, runny eyes. (And no known allergies)

Epidemiologists have said officially, but it has been largely shouted down by rhetoric.

Based on the MERS outbreak, incubation is estimated from 2-14 days.


Recovery varies, depending on strength of immune response, and susceptibility to co-infective agents.

Yeah the mass panic worries me the most
It's always the UNKNOWN that's the worst.
I liken it to waiting for a hurricane to blow your house away. And the reality is that part of your fence blew over and cost you $25 to repair it.
Hopefully this will be more of a fence than a whole house. But worrying is something that is in most of us.

I've actually been feeling pretty sick since yesterday. Went to the doctor this morning and lucky me it's not Corona, but tested positive for the flu!
An airline pilot is the husband of a lady who was in a business establishment that my wife and daughter were in a few days ago. Found out later the guy was showing symptoms. He tested negative for Covid 19, and positive for the flu too, just like you. No symptoms here, so I think we didn't get either.

Hope you feel better buddy. I hate seeing any of my people sick.

I had to get a kitty scan on my lungs today so of course I couldn't sleep half the night. All my dreams were I couldn't find a way to shut the t.v. s off. No remote control that I had would work. After the scan, checking my innards,I decided to make a day of it and visit our local Krogers. I was pleasantly surprised. The only thing they were actually out of (so far) was toilet paper for heaven's sake. I'm sorry I can't understand why the tp and why did I have to make do with a pound of unsalted butter because they were really low on butter. My favorite clerks said they were glad I didn't come in over the weekend...cause I would have gotten run over. Here I thought that the only ones that are truely at risk are the elderly and people with certain chronic health problems. Come to find out, I'd get run over if I tried to get their toilet paper. I guess they need it more then me...hehehe

I don't know how many members saw Maggie's rant before I had a chance to remove it, but to explain - She wrote that on a FB trucker group she belongs to and, not being computer literate or understanding how to use her lap top/ chromebook, it somehow got copied and posted to the forum too. She tried all she knew how to delete it, to no avail, so she called me and asked me to delete it. Trouble was I couldn't find it. The only thing I can figure is my Kindle must've been looking at a cached copy an d not the current copy. But this a.m. when I accessed from my computer, there it was. So it has now been removed and Maggie's sorry she offended anyone
