That was so annoying to read.

Does critical mean it’s like man flue?

If someone tried that here, I hazard a guess that instead of filming it, another passenger might just insert the dimwit under the train wheels.

If he was to do that here he would probably pick something up worse than carona

Yeah, bold, massive font, so annoying. Respect the forum style etiquette...

I was about to comment this. When I posted the first bit on Hanks earlier this morning, I checked the time stamp on the article and then went a few pages back in the thread to make sure I wasn't duplicating anything.

I think as the virus spreads in USA it's going to be a massacre on the markets and their economy as the panic spreads

Ironic i.e. after Trumps War on China.

No, critical means the guy had some sort of renal disease and this flu(e) made it **** him big time.

Could be worse i.e. having to read COVID-19 vs flu or H1N1 mortality rate debates.

This post is just stupid. There's no cure for stupidity

You can be stupid if you are dead

Trump announces travel ban from Europe amid growing fears of coronavirus

President Trump announced Wednesday that he will be suspending all travel from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days starting Friday at midnight in an effort to quell the spread of coronavirus.

President Trump

on Wednesday announced in a televised address that the U.S. is suspending all travel from Europe to the U.S. for 30 days beginning Friday at midnight in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus.

His address came hours after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a global pandemic and the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. climbed to more than 1,200. Trump said the new travel exemptions do not apply to the United Kingdom.

Okay I give up - what is the difference in the threat that the UK is excluded from the ban ?

World starts to shut down due to pandemic.

Response is, how much money are we going to lose.

You don't think that is a legitimate concern? Do you work or eat for free?

Do you work or eat when you're dead ?

Apparently the CT person is from Muizenberg. But source is the trashy Daily Voice.

On Gautrain now. Hopefully @Coronachan is not anywhere near.

Not everyone are going to die
