Excellent point. If this thing gets into the streets, we will have to shut the cities down.

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

This HAS to be affecting businesses here in the US.
My wife and I may get Chinese take-out twice a month. No longer! She won't touch it.
Multiply that ($25 x 2) per month with who knows how many others adopt the same attitude. She is even concerned about going to Walmart since so much of their stuff comes from China.
I know she is over-reacting, but I am sure she is not the only one who is changing buying habits.

yes, it’s donald trump’s problem and he has no idea of how to take care of this!
and he gets his vp mike pence to oversee this situation.
donald trump doesn’t care about who could get this virus.
Pence is a pol with strong religious values. So what???

Unless you are a dictator in a third world country, you should realize that you represent all of the people.
Remember, as our Lord and Savior Judge Rutherford said, "Religion is a snare and a racket."
(He, he, he he, he). Wasn't that a great transition? Maybe I should have been a lawyer myself.

Vice President Pence falls way short of being a "religious zealot" compared to Obozo - he was always quoting a scripture. You must have missed Crazy Joe's spiritual/religious nonsense yesterday.
LV101 ...
I may be wrong, but I would doubt after the photos taken outside of the churches of them walking in, that, as you call them, Obozo, Crazy Joe or the Orange Man have ever sat through an entire church service.
It's all politics. Political photo ops.

i was thinking about this at work the other day, and realized the one positive thing i can truly credit the jws with: .
i have no fear of public speaking.
i was a shy kid, fat, clumsy, with crooked glasses and worse teeth, who wore hand-me-downs in one of the wealthiest counties in all of america, who sat still while classmates got up to salute the flag or recite the pledge of allegiance.
I would agree with some others here that the public speaking thing was a big plus. I gave my first bible reading at 6 years of age standing on a box so I could reach the microphone in front of 60 or 70 people. I read from the book of Jeremiah.
Moving on later to "talk #5" and later instruction talks, asking the audience the questions, and then a few public talks did take away the fear of speaking in front of any group at work, no matter how large the size.

i want to send a word of encouragement to all those posters who month after month submit intriguing.
biblical subjects with a positive note.
posters such as slimboyfat, earnest, careful, among others are a bright light in this forum.
Wonderment ...
Thank you.
There are a few clowns here, but I agree, we need to focus on the serious issues and topics. I would have it no other way.
I feel better also.

You must think the Pope is a religious nut too. Because Pence has religious values, that makes him a whacko?
Min ...
The Pope, GB, Priests, etc. are in the religious business.
Pence is supposed to be a politician, not a religious zealot.

... then your preferred pronoun, such as his/hers or they, if you aren't sure ... For example, 'Bob works really hard, they deserve a raise.'
Min ...
I can see (in my twisted mind) this scenario:
- Bob's pronoun is "they".
- Bob get's a sex change operation.
- Bob now prefer's "she" as the pronoun.
- Coworkers come up to Bob, shake "her" hand and say "Congratulations Bob, nice to hear you had your dick cut off. Did everything go well"?
I'm sorry Min, your commentary just made my mind explode.

this week's meeting stresses god's justice and righteousness in destroying the "wicked" people of the above cities.
we are told how patient and just big j was in this matter.
finally with a regretful shake of his head, he dispenses justice .. gen 19:24 then jehovah made it rain sulfur and fire on sodʹom and go·morʹrah—it came from jehovah, from the heavens.+ 25 so he overthrew these cities, yes, the entire district, including all the inhabitants of the cities and the plants of the ground.+.
Who looked back to see the Pillar of Salt ?
Lot's wife.
She looked back and turned into Kosher Salt, Sea Salt, Seasoned Salt or something.
But Lot was a wonderful person although he got drunk, raped both of his young daughters and got them pregnant.
High fives to him.

i wonder if there will be panic buying of food, guns, gas ect due to the corona virus.
what do you guys think?.
I'm really not sure what guns have to do with this but I guess if someone comes to your house and you think they might have the coronavirus, you can just open your window and shoot them.
