Chinese students stealing our wonderful research in return for a barrel of Coronaids? Nice fair agreement Trump!

How was Italy?

No I wasn't in Italy but South America. I wouldn't have been able to get back into the country if I had been to Italy as it was one of the questions I was asked and they looked for on people's passport (and of course china, iran, etc)

All my symptoms were similar for it, but I only had a fever one morning. The strength of the cold, cough, sore throat, etc seemed more extreme than a normal cold. Also slight shortness of breath. Lasted 6 days but today appears to be the end of it.

Congrats on being a statistic!

Could be a normal flu virus. I got a nasty case of flu this time last year while I was in Argentina.

Haven't seen this source posted yet but it's a good one:

Houston lab can only test 15 kits a day so I guess that's the cap on new cases.

Friendswood is saying, **** y'all, we ain't going nowhere this time.

This seems scary. This egypt tour group thing, seems like it was the cruise ship.

5 cases confirmed, 5 more suspected.

2 of the cases went about their lives as normal for several days.

Rice student positive

I guess that's what I'm getting at. You have government agencies who's main function is to prepare for a contingency ... and when that thing happens, it seems like an issue of first impression.

I talked to a med center employee yesterday who works at TCH but is connected with pretty much every hospital in that area. Her main concern is this virus reaching TCH since it seems to be worse for people with weak immune systems aka elderly/newborns/folks with pre-existing issues. She said as of now, they are in a holding pattern on what they can do because there just aren't enough test kits being sent to this area yet.

From what I understand though, thats not on the med center as mentioned above. They aren't the ones creating and supplying these test kits. Get more kits, test more people, isolate those people, and do it soon.

Anybody know exactly what a test kit consists of?

I am not a supply-chain guy, but could the grocery store water shortages be a lagging result from the run on water last week after the water main bust?

Are people really panic-buying water over a virus in its infant stages?

Although I have been tapering back down a bit as my tolerance had gone up and wife had to have a little sit down with me.

This is a big part of it. The water run happened last week after the boil notice before the Corona started putting everyone into panic mode in Houston.
