I remember a saying from a LONG time ago: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." - It looks like we are FINALLY getting going.

A little good news, in a world inundated with bad news.

Ugghhhh. Coronavirus patient released in San Antonio went to North Star Mall before returning to quarantine:

On Sunday, Italy reported 76 confirmed cases of the virus.....Today they reported 229 confirmed cases. Enough to chill your blood. I fear this is a tsunami coming to our shores that we cannot stop.

8 Americans have Coronavirus aboard that quarantine Princess cruise ship in Japan.

So did they have the disease when it was quarantined, or did they get it because they are locked up on a ship with diseased people.

If it’s the first then they would all be back here spreading it around.

I can’t imagine what it’s like on that ship right now.

I can:

This nasty bug has the entire cruise industry shaking in their boots. Countries are denying passengers to get off the ships. Quarantine in ports, and in some cases, denied anchoring in their harbors. I could go on an on posting links to the effects to all the effected passengers. There are many but the 3 links posted above give you an idea how serious this is.

Those of you that dismiss this as just 'another flu' outbreak should take note and be aware.

Situation report - 13
"Globally
14557 confirmed (2604 new)
China
14411 confirmed (2590 new)
2110 severe (315 new)
304 deaths (45 new)
Outside of China
146 confirmed (14 new)
23 countries
1 death "

This is scary. Compare Situation Report 13 (Dated 2 February, 2020) to Situation Report 7 (Dated 27 January, 2020), ONE WEEK AGO. The numbers are astounding, at how rapidly this nasty bug is spreading.
