Coronavirus seems to get people riled up for sure.

Also, I’d prefer to be Timmy because he isn’t a cheater.

(Reuters) - A city in China's Hubei province, the epicenter of the global coronavirus epidemic, will pay residents as much as 10,000 yuan ($1,425.96) if they proactively report symptoms of the illness and it is confirmed after testing.

Making money!

Those who have previously been diagnosed will not be eligible.

Those who are not immediately ruled out as suffering from the disease will be given 1,000 yuan, while those declared to be "suspected" cases will earn 2,000 yuan, it said.

He probably gave it to the ladies in his office building that were talking about "private" issues a few years back.

I should have packed my bag and moved to New Orleans with my boss and his wife.
At least that city seems safe.

Missquote. Only that they're being monitored because they came back from travel.

Newsome said California has 33 confirmed cases. With the mortality rate actually lower than the flu outside of China; I'm not worried.

China though; I don't know what's goin' on in there. Just terrible.

My gf works at Disney and said they received a memo about washing hands if you suspect someone who has coronavirus, disinfect the area and report it to management.

Every person that coughs is going to get turned in to management.

And they will have at least one hour after reporting them to management as they will still be in line to get on the ride.

Percent of infected people in china to their population:

My wife bought 40 Cans of canned food today, 3 large bags of rice, 10 boxes of pasta, and a 2 large jugs of peanut butter today. I told her to go to the store Saturday and double up on everything she bought. + Beef Jerky.

I bought a few cases of can chili and Vienna Sausage.
I made like a banana and slide out of the store when I notices some people sneezing.

Might make a decent meal if you just mixed it all together.

I just got back from the movie theater. During the movie someone sneezed three times. I almost ran out screaming.

I'm going to the Monaco Grand Prix Memorial Day weekend, and staying in Ventimiglia, Italy. I'm starting to get concerned about whether I'll get to go or not.

Meanwhile 250,000 people have been hospitalized this flu season accorded to the CDC yet nothing reported about that. I guess the regular flu isn't enough of a boogyman to make for great headlines.
