Got a case of the Coronavirus right here in my county.
Scary
The person traveled to Italy
Whats really concerning me is how this is all affecting business travel
Just about all companies are banning travel unless its essential
Just doing a lot of cancelling today.


I’m supposed to go on a 7 day cruise out of Miami on March 21st. I’m not worried about getting the virus on the cruise, I’m worried that by then they’re just going to be canceling cruises.

If it does get canceled I’m gonna take another Vegas trip.

During the week of 15-21 Feb 2020, I do not remember hearing the democrats talking or being concerned about coronavirus. All I remember them talking about is Russia/Russia/Russia and President Trump/AG Bass/Roger Stone.

Now comes the week of 22-28 Feb 2020 and the democrats are going bonkers about coronavirus. President Trump is unprepared, the administration is unprepared, President Trump took all the money from the CDC/NIH/etc etc etc. and that emergency funding is needed to combat the virus.

Well, where is the appropriations bill for funding the coronavirus emergency from the democrat controlled House??? I haven’t found any. Why didn’t they pass one last week? Why didn’t the House work last week Friday or Saturday and pass one if it was such an emergency.

Hmmmmmm, is it just like usual that the democrats are all talk and no action???


See what I mean?

5 dead in Washington State.

With all the old codgers and codgets in the Senate and some in the House, and all major Dem candidates being old guys and Trump, there is a reasonable chance the political landscape could change due to this virus. Until there is a vaccine, nothing really changes.

Tulsi Gabbard may still have a chance. 38 years old.

We could be in for a very strange campaign season if they’re forced to cancel their rallies!

What a day. One of my most busiest days in corporate business travel. My clients company banned all non essential travel. Just cancellation after cancelation. Airlines and hotels taking massive financial hits

I see what you mean. Thats why I have swattter blocked. Just every post is an insult to Dems calling them Rats. I find most of swatters posts just disgusting insults. Brings nothing to the forum except insults.
I have friends on both sides of the aisle, obviously he doesn't

Here is a helpful website for tracking the number of cases (90,284 internationally; 100 in USA) and deaths (3,085 internationally; 6 in USA).

It looks as though the death rate in the United States is 6%, but I doubt that that is the case. The more likely scenario is that there are many more cases in the USA that were never officially tested & diagnosed.

I hope you don't lose commissions on all of those sales.
