If testing was currently happening at a local level it is likely that they would have found dozens of cases by now and there would be a lot of pressure to cancel the rodeo.

---

Likely? ok. tell us more.

---

In every city where they have begun testing they are finding cases. Do you really think the situation is different in Houston, one of the most international cities in the country?

We'll find out for sure in a couple of weeks when the Houston lab is up and running.

FWIW I don't think they should cancel regardless.

I am disturbed that public officials are publicly announcing that they are holding back information.

---

they aren't holding back information. They are trying no to create a panic. The rice situation wasn't even "suspected" corona, yet its got people freaking out that the disease is here now.

Saying there are suspected cases does nothing but make people freak out, which it appears you are already doing.

---

Their official announcement specifically says they are holding back info on suspected cases so I'm not sure how you can debate that. Lack of transparency makes people lose trust and freak out even more.

Edit- the Rice situation IS suspected CV, which is why they sent the person's test to the CDC. Results expected tomorrow or Thursday.

They gotta protect everyone's right to be a hippo.

There's a band from S Korea playing Rodeo next week. My guess it will be lowest attended show of the year.

NCT-127 just sounds like a deadly virus that escaped from a bio-weapons lab. That or a failed nuclear reactor.

You know the "boys" are ready tho...

If you drink hand sanitizer will it get you buzzed?

I'm not saying I'm gonna do it, but just hypothetically, what would be a safe dose if one were to try it out.

(Oral injestion not butchugging)

With the proliferation of hand sanitizer in schools and businesses ... only a matter of time before mother*****rs start gettin ****ed up on it.

Latest update from Houston Health Dept:

I feel like the statement needs an asterisk since they have probably sent a dozen or fewer samples to the CDC for testing.

Serious answer, but yes. Rehab clinics usually dont have gel hand sanitizer, mouthwash, or even vanilla extract. All of them contain alcahol. Couldn't tell you how much you'd have to take.

---

Even body sprays and hairspray are sought by severe alcoholics in rehab. Can you imagine drinking f'n hairspray?

I second that message, but those pics...i can't unsee.

wanting to buy a G19 soon

Dude, those have been ridiculously hard to get lately. I have like four variants coming in right now but for the last two weeks, not a single one available. Annoying as hell.

Anyone think within the next few weeks companies will be asking folks to work from home? My company has cancelled all kinds of events due to fears of corona. Can't see why it wouldn't eventually extend to full time for a few weeks.

As a company we spent about a month working from home after Harvey because our office flooded for WFH is definitely in our work culture.

If they close schools I don't see how many companies will have much of a choice.
