Another thing I noticed here in Jax Florida. Is that the only people wearing masks are of asian dissent. Like they know something we don't.
I don't mean that as racist but it is what I see.

That's cultural, commonplace for those in the Asian region to do, including Japan. I can understand continuing that practice.

I guess, if you look at it that way. It might save your life. In all reality this could get ugly. I just hope The Gov. Does it's job. Witch I think they are with travel bands. But as was said earlier, there are people that lie. I guess they think they are more important.

Virus getting closer, one guy working in the same building tested positive this week, Belgium close to lockdown, I went into one of the supermarkets at midday just to watch the panic buying. France not so bad, shops are busy but holding up.
We now have a good 2-3 weeks food supply and all medicines stocked up, plus enough wine for around 3 months

Animals are ok for a while too, and if it all goes wrong the generator is fueled and tested, and wood for burning piled up.
Wife has a poor immune system, otherwise I'm confident we'll get through it.

I just hope people are not panic selling in this panic driven downturn (well there is the oil war too).

Maybe a little caution on the health side is a good thing, which might just slow the spread down...

All I know is I got my damn Bobcat fixed and could do some humongous burn piles now (once again) - man is that thing hard to work on, probably about 25% as hard as a 6.0

Also working on getting my ALZ Dad moved to a new home, but things are looking good on that front - just tough that he doesn't know who I am anymore...

Any one see the latest crap from China?
I know that this is a report from the Crappy News Network.
Looks like they are trying to blame the USA for this bug.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/13/asia/...hnk/index.html
A prominent Chinese official has promoted a conspiracy theory that the United States
military could have brought the novel coronavirus to China -- and it did not originate in the
city of Wuhan, as thought.
