This is my major fear. So many items need to be shipped here from overseas, including food. I've stocked up on cleaning supplies and a few canned goods but now I feel that I may need to ramp up the pantry and hanker down. More water comes tomorrow.

A coworker wasn't feeling well on Friday. He went to the ER. Its been said its an upper respiratory infection. All of a sudden he is on the vacation list until Monday.
He told a fellow coworker that he went to the ER. Management hasn't said anything.
NOW, its getting around hes on vacation all of a sudden. Is he in self quarantine??/ Are they able to give us details??/ WTH is going on???
About 85% of these clear folks think this is a big joke. I may have to take a leave or something because I cant curse these people out all day every day.
Trying not to stress out because thats the last thing I need.

Y'ALL'S President in his own words:
January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: "THIS IS THEIR (the Democratic Party's) NEW HOAX!!!
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
March 13: "I take no responsibility."
March 16: "This is an extremely serious crisis and we are close to a recession that can go until July and maybe August"
*copy/paste to share* and keep doing so right through Nov. 2020.

They should be giving you details. Especially if someone was exposed.
My company is in NY where the epic center "cluster" happened. One of our people were exposed to the 2nd case of coronavirus in the state. CDC made him quarantine for 2-3 weeks, BUT my company kept it on the hush. When it got out that he was exposed, there was a panic in the office
. Those white folks bum rushed the CEO and upper management to demand answers. People were very upset because some of these people had close contact with him in the office. The CEO had no choice but to call an emergency meeting to discuss what happened and promised he would keep everyone informed from now on. Plus our marketing dept was threatening a PR nightmare for the company if they didn't lol. Your company should definitely be opening the lines of communication with their employees.

I rallied the troops. I called everyone under the sun. Looks like he had a family emergency. HR couldnt go into detail but then again Im still watching them with a close eye. He doesnt come back until next week @Dposh167

My daughter lives in the area and hadn’t been taking it seriously until the last week or so. Of course supplies were limited.My area (DC, MD, VA) is now up to 186 cases. Yesterday it was 163. The numbers increase day after day.

I'm sure that includes people who were on United Airlines Flight 6028 from Austin to Washington, DC on March 4. I don't know if the DC area news has reported that since the person who tested positive doesn't live there.My area (DC, MD, VA) is now up to 186 cases. Yesterday it was 163. The numbers increase day after day.
Someone on that flight had a connecting flight, United Airlines Flight 4810 from Washington, DC to Buffalo, and tested positive after arriving in Buffalo.

I am on an elderberry waiting list at my herb shop 
Hopefully I can source some powder. I can fill my own capsules.
@discodumpling, That is exactly what grocery shopping has become; a hunting expedition! Two days ago, I waited in a line outside the store to get in when they reopened in the middle of the afternoon because they needed time to restock their shelves. Then they only let people in a small groups to keep from overcrowding.

Yeah, I don't recall hearing that on the news but its very possible. In the beginning they were giving details about the people who tested positive but since the numbers are changing so rapidly, they aren't providing as many details.

Everyone blew it off until their area governor declared a state of emergency or until schools closed.

I don't remember where I read this but there is a possible that elderberry, while great for the flu, is not good for this and may slow recovery. I believe oregano is what is needed.I am on an elderberry waiting list at my herb shop

Please look into that yourself, of course.
Also I'm hearing that if you have a fever, use tylenol (acetaminophen) and not ibuprofen

Here’s a tip:
I was in Publix yesterday and all the pasta, rice and beans were gone from the normal shelves. I went over to the International Foods aisles and rice and beans were there aplenty in the Hispanic section and there was a ton of pasta/noodles especially in the Asian section.
I laughed all the way to the cashier
