    Positive test results for coronavirus in Oregon. Worked at Forest Hills elementary in lake oswego. About five miles from my house. I have three kids in nearby schools. Fun stuff.

    Sunday shows wanted to book Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the most highly regarded virologists on the planet, but Pence won't allow anyone to speak, except himself and Trump, who at a rally tonight said it's a hoax.

    As a humanist I don't want anyone to get sick and die, but I swear my mean girl streak would consider it poetic justice if there was a Corona virus outbreak at a Trump rally.

    Don't worry bro! Trump and pence are on top of it. They say it will fizzle out once the weather warms up.

    Amazon cracks down on price-gougers and scammers by banning 1 MILLION products claiming to protect against and cure coronavirus and thousands more attempting to sell face masks at inflated prices
    • Amazon has been flooded with exploitative products amid coronavirus concerns
    • The platform says it has removed 1 million products in recent weeks
    • Sellers were offering cures and protections against novel coronavirus, Covid-19
    • Exploitative sellers were still found in a brief search on Amazon

    My wife is going to the grocery store today because a Lake Oswego teacher, who taught at my grade school, is the latest victim to come down with the coronavirus.
    We are now officially nervous.

    Don't worry. It's going to miraculously disappear, didn't you hear?

    Face masks are useless according to medical professionals.

    CDC suggested stocking up for a couple of weeks, not a year.

    I heard a doc say last year in the USA 20k died of the flu. He thinks the media are over hyping the Coronavirus. Said mask are really only good if you have the flu and wearing one to prevent isn’t all that effective.
