Just announced twelve more confirmed cases here in the UK bringing the number to fifty one.

I think that even if the Pope was infected, they would never admit it due to all the close contact he has had with thousands of people recently.

Almost 10% of Iran's parliament has tested positive for coronavirus.

Quote:

Twenty-three members of Iran’s 290-member “Majlis” or parliament have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, according to Iran’s Deputy Parliament Speaker Abdul Reza Misri.

That's about about 8% of all members of parliament.

Another person in New York has been diagnosed with coronavirus.

Quote:

A man who lives in Westchester County, New York, and works in Manhattan tested positive for coronavirus, the Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on a local radio program this morning.

The patient, who has an underlying respiratory illness, is hospitalized, Cuomo said on Long Island News Radio.

How sad that would be

They would probably build shipping container cities in the desert for them

Went to the VA clinic here yesterday and you can't even get in without a nurse seeing you with a lady or gentleman asking everyone if they have a cough or runny nose or any cold symptoms.

After three weeks of coughing I had to say 'yes' so I had to wait for a nurse to come out of the main building to see me. She just asked a few questions and gave me something fo the cough.

Then I went in to check in for my heart stress test and a big paper under the screen asking if anyone had flu like symptoms to check in to urgent care.

So I did and an hour later a nurse came out and called my name. She was under thirty and very nice to me checking everything and then said, "I don't think you have covid-19, but we don't have anyway of checking you for it yet and that I would have to go to the local ER room at the local hospital for that.

Then she added that three weeks wasn't that bad and that she had just got off the flu and that it took four weeks. She made me feel better and gave me some really really good cough medicine (that I just took)

So then I go to see the real reason I was there for my heart and it turns out that this would not be a good time to run on a thread mill to test my endurance. Here's a new appointment for four months from now and good luck.

Home and happy ... God bless all of you veterans the VA is slow, but they really do care about you.

BTW, before everyone goes mask crazy- you do realize that wearing a mask doesn't do *Richard* if you're healthy?

Unless, of course, you enjoy smelling your own bad breath.

A mask DOES work if you've already been diagnosed or you think you're contagious. The mask helps you to avoid giving it to your neighbors.

Carry on with the panic.

What panic?

Tell that to all the health and medical professionals.

I'm confused now about masks.
As I do demolition work We wear dust masks a lot.
Will I now be looked at as if I am freaking out or what?

How about concealed carry? After all it will do as much as wearing it on the nose.

Being I have a stock pile of masks?
Am I sitting on the next Gold mine?

I also have the equipment to compress air to 4500 PSI.
Maybe I should add parts to clean that air.

You know that Tsunamis are not build by winds on the surface but by deep-seating seismic centres causing fast-travelling deep sea shockwave fronts that rise to the surface only where the sea bottom starts to rise into the shallow waters. So do not trust the play of the gentle waves on the beach that much.

Just compare the going of stockmarkets over the past months and years and compare the record indices to the growing "Bilanzsumme" (balance sheet total ? ) of the FED and other central banks. What is to be seen there, should ring red alert - and reveal how much substance there really is in the economic "growth".

Ot does anyone seriously believe in that a nation's total economy triples in real value within one decade...? Really...???

You get such values only when corrupting the value of the currency.
