We have the chocolate creme Cadbury eggs at the store by me in Springfield.

---

I found some at Hyvee

I might have bought a few packets to keep in the freezer and eat through out the year.

hoarder.

Frugal mom that knows they are in the stores about 2 months. So get them now

I am also not hoarder. Just practical Hence I don't need toilet paper. I use coupons and buy it every week or two for Walgreens points or Hyvee points for gas. Paid 1.35 today because of HyVee fuel saver.



And you can just be a no Cadbury Egg eating person in September. I will be

Stores will be stocked up again early next week and nobody in them. That's when I'm going.

Unless the stores are required to close.

I honestly believe that there are millions of Americans with covid-19 and it has been here for months. The coronavirus became noticed in China in late December and the country wasn't locked down for a full month, plenty of time for infected Chinese travelers to come to the US and spread the disease around. This "unseasonably tough" flu season is undiagnosed covid-19 in my opinion. I don't see any way it didn't make its way over here in December and early Jan.

I was telling this to my wife earlier. I was sick for a long time in late December and just couldn't shake it. Flu like symptoms and all that. Tested negative for flu but I knew it was worse than a cold. I don't think I had it but with all these new reports I can't be too sure. Luckily no one got sick around me and I just had a newborn!

Same here man, it was crazy. I am always very healthy and workout and play golf 2x a week, at age 35. I had a bug for about 3 weeks in mid Jan-feb that wouldn't go away and was negative for flu and strep

The type of retail Emails I am getting

You may well be right. I was skeptical of such claims at first, but a good friend reminded me that he and his entire family got something in late December while traveling from Maryland to Arizona. His description of their symptoms was exactly the same as coronavirus: high fever, dry cough, lasted about three weeks, and totally kicked their butts. His kids got it also but the symptoms were dramatically lower for them.

---

So, we've transitioned from less contagious to the flu to more infectious than measles...

You ever try to get an old person to do something they don't want to do?

Yep, my daughter came down with a bug that was again negative for strep and flu two weeks ago. Lasted for a few days and she was fine.

If people all over the country were getting the Coronavirus in December and nooooobody knew what it was, it would have been a big story... you know, kinda like Coronavirus is a big story. Even assuming they weren't, those people who recovered would still have antibodies from coronavirus and it ought to be pretty simple to test them and see if they test positive for them. With all these anecdotal stories of "I think I had it in December!" you'd think somebody would have tested for it, and it would be huge news.

Assuming it can be tested for (I honestly have no clue), this is a good point

---New deaths over the last 9 days in chronological order (WHO numbers)----

China: 38, 31, 30, 28, 27, 23, 17, 22, 11, 7. Total China deaths at 3180. China topped out at around 150 daily deaths.

Not China: 48, 53, 69, 78, 71, 202, 186, 258, 310, 335. Total 1775.

US: 4, 3, 1, 1, 0, 0, 8, 6, 4, 7. Total 36 (WHO numbers).

New Italy deaths: 28, 27, 41, 49, 37, 132, 97, 168. 196, 189. Total 1016.

Look at what those countries had to do to achieve those results.

Permanent scarring of lungs, virus ability to re-infect after recovery, maybe this is manmade due to these odd characteristics of concern.

If so, somebody knows exactly how effed up the virus actually be.

If they're doing a blood test (which they can do) it tests for antibodies.

Yep, same here.

Well then this points back to a lack of resources to test folks who think they may have had it... I would think.

Still interesting nonetheless.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, and your Emoticon suggests you're joking, but please don't spread the disinformation that this is man-made. It's only going to make fear and panic worse, and we don't need more of that.

No evidence suggests that the virus is man-made. SARS-CoV-2 closely resembles two other coronaviruses that have triggered outbreaks in recent decades, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, and all three viruses seem to have originated in bats. In short, the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 fall in line with what we know about other naturally occurring coronaviruses that made the jump from animals to people.

Jesus. WTF is it with this clown show? I was honestly a little impressed that they were finally getting things right.

Would someone who had the virus and whose body defeated it six or eight weeks ago still test positive?

Haiti seems to be able to screen people much more effectively at airports than we do.

How many airports? How many flights in a day? How many total passengers are we talking here?

What type of test? Swabbing? Temperature?

I'm not a virologist, but my understanding is that with a blood test, yes they would test positive for antibodies, but at a level lower than someone with an active infection. So they'd probably be able to say you had it, but have recovered. I do not think you'd test positive with the more common sputum test. (I know China is doing blood tests but not sure how common they are elsewhere).
