It’s showing under 2,000 confirmed cases in the entire US, how can Ohio have anywhere near that number? just because someone has a cough or runny nose during flu season does not mean they have CNN-19

Ohio is pretty far behind on the actual testing as is the rest of the county. Close friend works at Stanford, says it’s only going to get worse once the tests become available

Here’s a clip of an article released by local Cleveland news source today. They just got tests this week it sounds like. And the link, because if you don’t link it, it didn’t happen.

The fear........comes from it spreading faster and more undetected than anything I can remember. And even though most 50+ yr old and below should survive it ( without health problems ) ......it's a virus , that stays hidden , just long enough to wipe out your parents , grand parents , and other people as well. The people who are down playing this , seem to give not one single shit about the older generation..........oh , but you will.

I don’t know if this has been asked. Does anyone on here know of anyone ....friend, family, 8th cousin removed, fellow workers, anyone on the earth....do any of you know of someone who has the virus and if so was it any worse than any cold/flu that hits each year? Tom and Rita don’t count

A buddy of mine , who is also a member here , just sent me a text a little bit ago , and said he's pretty much been quarantined due to being exposed to the virus. He's to stay at home until further notice and can get tested. If he wants to chime in here , that's up to him.

Aaaand....... that person happens to be myself. I got a phone call from my supervisor about an hour ago. Turned out someone from another trade left work early yesterday not feeling well. He didn’t show up today. Well, it turns out
this person tested positive for the virus. He had others around him that were on site today. Just so happened I was around those people. I left the job site to pick up a set of updated blue prints. I was around other people in my shop as well. They’re in the same boat now.
Finding this out is not concerning for myself but, my concern lies with my son. He’s been on antibiotics for awhile that have weakened his immune system. People say it only affects the elderly and people with weak immune systems. Well, that statement hits home. He’s only 22.
As of right now, I just got the call. We’ll see what tomorrow brings and what steps myself and my family need to take to be pro active.
That job site I was on is shut down. This is something concerning as well. People not working, they don’t get paid.
Maybe all of this is for nothing. Maybe I’m just being safe and following protocol. Either way it creates hardships that aren’t realized by many. Stress out of concern for your family, missing work. Now, in my situation to get that phone call trying to figure out what’s next. It goes to show it can pop up out of nowhere. Like I said, I’m not worried about myself. It’s for others in my life that in just going to work and doing my job, there is that chance I could’ve brought it home to someone it may affect more so then myself. Anyways, I’ll keep you guys posted.

Any symptoms? According to some reports there is a 80% chance of no symptoms, not to mention you may not have it in your system at all. Let’s hope so.

Bummer you are missing work, but you have to play by the rules. Best of luck to you... I hope you get back to work soon

I hate to hear this...you are good friend of mine and one helluva good dude. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You, your son, and the rest of your family WILL get through this and on the other side of this temporary virus. You got my number, so call at anytime.

Jeffro,
Turn off the news, stay off of social media and the internet completely. Put some gas in your bike and go ride bud. You are starting to fall in line, by the way your posts come across. It’s not the end of the world.
I’m not down playing the seriousness of it, but the PANIC that is currently happening is totally unnecessary. And I’m not taking about cancelling SX races. Shit is gunna be twisted up for awhile, no doubt. Buy some EXTRA gas for your bike and get out and live a little.

BTW- how much toilet paper and bottled water have you stocked up on ? Lmao....

This has gotten beat to death, but its worth restating. In 2009-2010, the H1N1 Virus was the first Pandemic flu in over 40 years. During that time, over 61M Americans became infected with H1N1. That is 20% of the US population. That's 1 in 5 people caught the H1N1 virus. Globally, it was well over 100M people infected with H1N1. In the US, there were over 274,000 hospitalizations. In the US there were approximately 12,500 lab confirmed deaths, and globally there were over 18,500 lab confirmed deaths (suspected deaths were higher in both instances). Here's the kicker on H1N1 for those who forgot. 80% of the deaths occurred in people UNDER the age of 65. It mostly infected and killed kids and young adults. Both viruses were/are highly contagious from person to person. Initial reports on H1N1 death rates had similar survival rates to that of Corvid 19.

So...2 Pandemic flus in ~10 years with very similar conditions, with the exception of one being primarily young people dying and one being older people dying.

I don't remember the shit hitting the fan back in 2009-2010. Stock market didn't collapse. Didn't run out of toilet paper. I don't remember mass panic and mass cancellations then either. Yet, 1 in 5 Americans got infected. +14,000 deaths in US alone. When all was said and done, 99.9% of the people recovered from it in 2009-2010.

We have a serious situation on our hands AGAIN, but why are people freaking the hell out this time? (That's a Rhetorical question). The greatest threat to our country is not the virus itself. Act responsibly, use good hygiene, and avoid unnecessary contact with people. We got through the last one, we will get through this one if we don't try to kill each other first.
