Puzzled posted up a video yesterday on FB and it looked like the bikes were still there. From what I understand, the vendor permits got pulled. Pretty sure there's still beer in the bars.  :nixweiss:

It’s not by design it’s by default. There was a whole CDC program staffed with doctors and scientists in place to deal with these types of things, which is why all those “other diseases” weren’t so bad. They were able to monitor and mitigate them to some degree. But that whole program was cut and the staff was fired.

So as this grew and spread worldwide, all we could do is watch and send thought and prayers. Then when it hit our shores it was denied, ignored, and called a hoax. We were lied to and told it was going away. And suddenly 24 hours later a state of emergency was declared.

Our nation was uninformed and ill prepared. And now we are experiencing the result. Yesterday I flew. The airports were empty and there were 13 people on my flight. That was not by design, that was by ignorance. We will be feeling the effects of this for generations.

No. its a completely different virus. Unfortunately, it seems to have started in a "wet" meat market in Wuhan. China where they routinely butcher bats for human consumption. Bats carry several virus strains that don't affect them but can be transmitted to humans and that's exactly what happened here with covid 19. China tried to clamp down the news and kept the world in secret till the situation got out of control and they essentially had to declare a quarantine enforced by martial law.

Read the same from multiple sources.  China decided not to take action when Chinese Ozzy or whoever had their bat snack and now the world is out of toilet paper.  Stranger than a movie plot.

At 8 am on Saturday, announced by Mayor McCheese of Daytona.  Saturday is the last busy day usually.  The last Sunday can be a snoozer when I have stayed until then.

Your beloved president Trump just announced that Americans should not gather in groups of 10 or more starting now. Are you listening?

No reason to turn this thread into a political bashing.

Politicians really aren't driving all these containment ideas, the CDC and medical community are.

Unfortunately the gov't is damned if they do and damned if they don't (shut everything down).  No way to please everyone under the circumstances.  I personally don't blame our gov't for this mess though.  This type of situation has been predicted by the CDC for many years, all enabled by cheap global air travel, and based on how this virus works there was really no practical way to contain it immediately.  There's really no way to fully plan for every variation of this situation globally, IMHO.

This outbreak is a product of a global economy. Imagine if we had open borders as some want...

I fully agree.  We never had this hysteria for any-other Pandemic.  We are still well under 100 deaths.  Far lower than any other one.  Way lower then the 20,000 flew deaths this year.  The ones in the USA dying are an average age of 74 years old, with serious respiratory problems.

The news is not reporting the 60,000 plus in the USA who have recovered from the Corona virus.

The only thing I would add is this virus is much more contagious than the flu.  I think that’s what has public health officials nervous...it could easily get out of hand and overwhelm our medical system.

Well said.  These are some truths people may want to deny, but at the end of the day these are all facts.
Along with the fact we don't know the actual numbers of who has the virus because there are not enough tests. 
Ask anyone who works in a hospital. 
Only select emergency rooms are getting the tests. 
The tests are NOT available to whoever wants them.
More like you will only be tested if you have all the signs including difficulty breathing.

I am not going to post the blog here as it is not mine to post.  But here are some facts of an actual recent case.
40 something pilot.  Plays soccer on the weekends.  Does not smoke.  Good overall health.
Tested positive in emergency room when he could not breathe.  His words.  Not flu or common cold like symptoms.  Worst pain I have ever felt.
He is still in the hospital.

Not trying to cause hysteria or panic.  But this is real and it is real for everyone not just the elderly or sick.

Be safe!  Do something about the things that are in your control and try not to worry about the sh1t that is out of your control.
