Congrats all day on your weight loss!

I love frozen fruit & buy large bags of many different kinds including mixed varieties too. Who knew that frozen grapes were sooo good!

We just took a banana out of the freezer after two months. It's like eating banana ice cream.

Back to the corona virus?

I've heard new speculation that the the virus was developed as a biological weapon and got leaked into the population by an accident. Kind of stupid creating something that could wipe out your own country? Another conspiracy theory myth, or real?

The Department of Defense has now accused China of the huge Equifax hack, and likely hundreds of other public hackings, like power plants. The Pentagon stops 36 MILLION email hack attempts every day, mostly by China or groups with China support. Their is supposedly a whole multi-story office building in Beijing just for their hackers.

Seems we are targeted every which way. How about a new U.S.- China trade deal? Like none. We keep our stuff, they keep theirs.

Now, wouldn't you think that would be a prime target!

I see some disease control bigwigs are now saying what I've been saying for weeks about the cruise ship "quarantines." That they're not so much a quarantine as a viral incubator A.K.A. a floating Petri dish. People are crying about having to go into "another" 14 day quarantine after being taken off the ship. I'm thinking if they THINK a 14 day quarantine is long enough they should make it 18. I'm still not clear about what happens if the CDC says you HAVE to go into quarantine. Do they pick up the tab, or do you get hit with a 14 day hospital bill?

I have definitely removed Bat Soup as a menu item for me.

Is it any wonder this stuff happens? If they did weaponize it then somehow infected their own then they are dumber than I figured they are.

For sure! And the don't want help for fear of anyone finding out.

Probably like they say about other wild game, "tastes like chicken".....

I had rattlesnake once, it did actually taste like chicken. Chicken jerky, kinda tough.

Sounds more like something Kim Jong-un would do.....

I'm not worried about contracting covid-19 and actually dying from it, however shortages of medicines and everything else over the next year could get dicey.

Discussed on Rush Limbaugh today.

Besides Japan shutting down every school system in the country, they are going to play their professional baseball without spectators. Empty stadiums, except for the players, and TV crews. The games will be televised. They have a 70 game season. How are they going to make any real money?

"Late Monday, Georgia health officials said two people, a couple living in Atlanta, tested positive for coronavirus after one of them returned from a trip to Italy. "

It's getting real close to home.
There is an old saying "you can't get to heaven without going through Atlanta." (because of the airport). I know locals who go to Atlanta on business, ball games, and family visits.

Walk off home run, silence. That will be strange.

Maybe they'll use fake crowd applause over the PA system.

Trump is required to be paid, but he has pledged to donate his salary while in office to worthy government programs.

The president donated his first-quarter salary to the Department of Homeland Security, the second-quarter salary to the Surgeon General, and his third-quarter salary to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday donated his fourth-quarter salary to the Depaetment of Heath and Human Services on Tuesday to help fight coronavirus.

It would've been better spent funding child care centers or low cost medical clinics for working persons without any medical coverage. Just my 2$

Georgia has become ground zero. 3500 people from an infected coronavirus cruise ship in California will be brought to a base near Atlanta. I suspect it is because the CDC is in Atlanta.

Saw this morning another two cases reported in NH bringing the total to 4. One guy came back from Italy and was told to self isolate before his test results came back and ignored the suggestion. He went to a bible study and now two others that were there have tested positive. There is also one that just came back from Italy in our county and is suspected to have it. He is in isolation. We head back home 3 weeks from today. Not looking forward to hotels, restaurants and rest areas. Several years ago I started a practice of hand sanitizer in the truck/car and using it whenever I stop somewhere and get back in the vehicle. It seems to help.

7375 cases in Italy, with 366 deaths. 25% of population under quarantine. Two victims in Georgia came from Italy.
