I heard from my family in Italy and they are COVID-19 free so far.  They live in the south -- Reggio Basilicata and Sicily -- and most of the disease is rampant north of Rome.

Another guy who's 25 years old and pretty vigorously healthy got sick as hell.  He tested negative for the flu and had issues breathing for a solid week.  He was afraid to lay down because he couldn't breathe when he did.  He's also fine now.  Similar issues spread through his work group in the following month.  

Hard to say what was up without conclusive testing, but it's possible that this illness has been here longer than we realize.

My girlfriend is a traveling nurse and she got sick as heck in Jan as well, while working in Utah, and it took her nearly two weeks to get over her cough. She suspects it was covid and this has been here as long as it has been in China. Considering there were people traveling from China to the states during the beginning of this it kind of makes sense that covid has been in the US for a few months now. Obviously now nation leaders around the world are pointing fingers at China for lying.

Twice now I've walked in and seen they had TP and bread which they didn't have before. Kroger however, can't seem to keep TP on the shelves. I've been there a few times to buy tequila and shelves were bare. Plenty of bread tho.  Dollar Store is also catching up on the TP and bread. But none of the above places mentioned have any hand sanitizer. That may take awhile.

By the way, don't drink bleach. Just because some complete morons are complete morons doesn't mean we all have to be complete morons.. but still, some morons will insist on remaining complete morons and then some.. You know who you are if you fit in the category of complete moron, but then again most morons will never acknowledge being morons..
