The second person diagnosed in NY was not in NYC. A lawyer in, what is referred to as, upstate which means, probably, Rockland County, well outside the city.
Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?

"..if US can't control this virus , how can be No.1 in the world."
Hi Andy,
Don't let the CCP propaganda sell you a falsehood.
There really is only 2 ways to beat this;
1) Catch it early. Dr Li Wenliang and others gave a warning - this was the chance to do something, instead it was a massive failure to act quickly.
2) Massive Quarantine. This kills economy.
Once too many people have it, it can only be mitigated against.
Remember the WHO and Chinese media complained when the US restricted air travel from parts of China to the USA.
It is really difficult for a large country with many travelers and trade to stop and make a quarantine.
Hence the reason I've been saying for years.... Ebay screwed everyone when they allowed people to list stuff for free.Actually, I’m going to buy another 8 later today. And then put them all 16 up on eBay for $500 each or $8,000 for the lot to see just how ridiculous this gets.
Originally, EBAY would charge listing fees based on the opening price of the item.. Ebay was wonderful back then, you could easily find what you were looking for, search results were relevant to what you typed in, and prices were almost always good deals.
Fast forward 15 years and every scammer in the world uses EBAY to fish for suckers. Capitalism at its finest...
Keep an eye on your meter and let me know how it reacts to your ebay listing.
Amazon has sold out a lot of stuff and they sell fake stuff too LOL
Just got out of the public rest room, person in one of the stalls was coughing profusely, could hear him spitting into the toilet bowl.
First thing that came to mind was, RUN FORREST! .... RUN!

We live in an interconnected world, where borders are porous, more like living membranes than physical walls.
Or he was just messing with you.. a lot of that going on as well.
Our society has evolved in the past 30 years to not only accept, but to idolize trickery, falsehoods, and any action that can induce stress or an emotional reaction in others. Its the new entertainment mode.
That's true and that just makes the situation worse. Johnson's Control was installing hundreds of additional Hand Sanitizer and antibacterial soap dispensers today. They should be implementing a screening procedure for every public facility. Unfortunately, such a system is not in place.

This eBay listing will allow me to conduct two (2) sociological experiments…
1) Will societal panic suspend common sense.
2) RINO Testing: Express opposition to this sale and you must put on your unicorn hat and move to Venezuela. Alternatively, support this sale you must turn in your BernieBadge and don a MAGA hat.

Cool.. I understand.
I was just using you to conducting my own sociological experiment to see how others rationalize their own actions and behaviors.
Thank you for your cooperation.
And let me know what that meter does when you price gouge those items. Unfortunately, for most who own such meters, they don't recognize when they are in need of re-calibration.

Different experience at a second Costco I stopped off this afternoon to procure the items I forgot forgot to pickup earlier. They were all sold out of disinfectant wipes. But they insisted on wiping down the handle of my shopping cart With a disinfectant wipe before they allowed me to enter the store.
Bear in mind that not every store is going to be this attentive to precautionary steps. At least Costco is doing the right thing; they deserve our business
As the number of dead start to climb, people will shift to taking more precautions.. It won't be long before we start seeing fear and paranoia causing ridiculously comical precautionary measures. I'm sure the media will be highlighting them soon.Bear in mind that not every store is going to be this attentive to precautionary steps.

Eventually, some quack job nut case will take a flamethrower to his own wife because she sneezes.

This is going to be a very interesting.
