I knew Howie is a germaphobe, so not surprised with his gear, I did not think Naomi Campbell would get decked out in that much protection. But better safe tan sorry.

Reminds me of my father in law who would not lift anything over 10lbs, exercised in bed every morning before getting out, then went for a 5 minute walk. He would not eat red meat or eggs, preaching everyone not to eat fast food, not to smoke...... He was obsessed about not having a heart attack. He would go see a cardiologist every 6 months for no reason, he just was just anal about his heart.



He died of lung cancer.

Good move, more people will take it seriously (hopefully) and more testing, stats and funds l be made available ( hopefully)

some people will continue to take it seriously

some people will continue to think it's a fake news hoax

I know but this is simple to me, you have to take reasonable precautions and act with care not to reduce the risks of contracting or spreading the disease, not hide your head in the sand.

4 sure it's the only solution

Just read that Italy has ordered all stores apart form drug and food stores closed. And they are saying not to take on elderly patients in intensive care units. So the old are getting thrown under the bus,

Fuck never mind porn this thing has become a real disaster every where. It's the equivalent of WW3 but with no fighting.

The end is getting near, forget global warming or nuclear wars.

This is no time to start speculating, let's work on staying coronavirus free and find a cure.

I'll say a prayer for him and his wife tonight, what a great he is.

It's only the beginning, things will get much worse before it starts to stop spreading and killing people.

The reality is just starting to hit me.

Sports stadiums, tv shows, movie theaters, malls, restaurants, coffee shops. You name it they are getting quiet. Businesses are going to suffer financially.

The last day is when you die, stop the panic over this Coronavirus.

Just use common sense, wash your hands, do not touch your face as much as you can, do not shake hands or kiss people when you greet them, do not share any food, try not go to places you do not have to go. Stock up on a couple of months worth of medicines if you take them regularly, and non-perishable foods and some bottled water. Humans have been around way more than this year, we will survive if we act and play smart. Like a friend of mine just cancelled the cruise trip he had paid for his family to go on over easter. The cruise line charged him 20% canellation fee, but hey the last place I would go right now is on a cruise. You can live without it.

Taking a cruise right now is just crazy. 5000 people on a ship, one of them comes down positive for the Coronavirus you are all going to be stranded on the thing for 2 weeks. And the odds are more people will catch the disease while being sitting ducks in the middle of the sea.

You can not blame them. They make millions and being sick will put them out of work.
