Sorry if already posted but nba on tnt had a special last night but Chuck was missing. They said later that he was sick and is quarantined and has been tested for Coronavirus but is waiting for results.

Getting it is one thing. I just don’t want people dying.
Charles isn’t a spring puppy, so let’s hope he kicks it.

There are enough famous people getting it that you really have to wonder just how many people out there have it but haven’t been tested. 100,000? More?
Say it ain’t so. Not Charles.. please not Charles
Still not enough tests available. Not sure why thousands are able to be tested overseas but not here. It's bizarre. Starting to wonder if it's purposeful to keep numbers down so as not to create more panic or make results look rosier.

More test kits coming next week.

Why were 57 members of the Jazz and Thunder organization including players, coaches, administrators tested within an hour on Wednesday if there aren’t enough tests available?
Governor of Ohio estimates 100,000 Ohioans have it and expects that number to double every 6 days.
He said that Wednesday . You would think you would see more cases by now
Great question. Maybe the pull/power of the NBA? It is definitely not the case with many others across the country.

No body knows the number or everything about the virus
They're averaging about 200 a day in Italy on people dying.. Won't read that in the news.
I like Charles.I hope he is alright. He has a unique perspective and says what he thinks.
Back to poor Charles, I hope he's ok. He's really a nice and genuine fella. He speaks his mind, now, but that's just who he is. Love him or hate him.
The supervisor told us at work this morning that if we get to feeling bad, like getting a cold or whatever, to go to the doctor and get tested. They don’t want anyone getting in here with that virus because of the nature of our business. If anything gets shipped out from here and word got out that someone was infected, it would create a PR nightmare. What we produce comes into contact with food.
So add Driving in left lane at all times to list of symptoms!
Because it isn't so. There was one day where they had over 200 deaths, March 11th, and it was reported. To date, there are less than 18,000 cases in Italy and sadly 1,266 deaths; worldwide 5,617 deaths. In comparison, as of today the CDC reports that 22,000 people have died this flu season in the US alone. So far, this disease doesn't appear to be that deadly. It could end up being worse but most who have died are elderly with underlying health issues, the young are hardly impacted. The media as usual, because it is how they make money, has sensationalized this. We should all take precautions but the panic button that has been hit is something else as are the rumors running amok.
Maybe that was what she was saying,, I was,, get this,, high.. Girl lives in Italy I know.. It's way worse than news is saying.. Far as news,, I wouldn't believe it if they said Hillary Clinton had died..
Hoping CB is going to be alright.
Girk i know in Italy.. That whole country is pretty much shut down. I re-read what she said.. Was 200 people died over a 24 hr period earlier this week.. Mon into Tues maybe?

It has been reported that Italy has a very aging population so they might not be typical.
As for the Ohio thing, if 100K already have it, then it’s mostly mild cases. If it doubled every six days as he suggested then all 12 million in his state would have it in 6 weeks. Fear monger much?
It’s really panic time for some. Myself and wife are in our 70s so we are being cautious, despite no underlying medical issues.
I’m having some very mild symptoms but don’t know if they’re really anything or are just being noticed out of heightened awareness. Oops I just sneezed.

It's helped ammo companies. I may or may not have bought 3000 rounds ammo past week.. Lot sites are out of what I just bought.. Or prices have went up $50 ..
Not a vaccine, one doesn't exist yet, or test kits, we're just running low on them, but we depend on them for many of our pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics and the like, because we outsource the manufacturing. The US leads the world in development of the drugs but then we outsource, not real smart.
Millions of people are gonna get it most likely. Getting it isn’t that of a deal if you’re relatively young and healthy. You’ll be fine. Sick for a few days and then fine with hydration and rest. I honestly don’t give much of a **** if I get it. It’s not some ooga booga death sentence where you bleed out every orifice, your dick falls off, and they burn your body after you’re gone.
But I bought 137 rolls of toilet paper anyway.

Good news for sure.
Everyone is all up in arms about this because it’s new. And the fact you don’t show symptoms from anywhere from 5-14 days is concerning. What’s so bad about this one is the contagion nature of it. Immediately transmitted as soon as you get it.
So while most of us are going to be ok *knock on wood* we don’t want our most vulnerable people to get it and overload our hospitals.
I’m glad this is hopefully turning a corner. We will make our daily life when it comes back all the more sweeter.
You don't have the words yet you just came up with a string of stupid ones? My, how impressive. We should listen to you? How are other countries testing? For example, China even. Is Trump somehow responsible for any inaccurate estimation from the country of origin? And exactly what dipshit, you for example, would expect that protective actions should depend on a domestic survey alone?
