    Not eating snake, beaver, tail, or tacos? Sounds like that could seriously curtail amorous activity

    It's a pretty serious situation. My in-laws are in a more remote part of China with less than 10 cases of Coronavirus so far. My wife and I discussed having her parents come stay with us, but her parents don't even want to travel domestically in China to get to the States.

    I have a former colleague whose wife and 2 kids are trapped in Wuhan currently and no travel allowed. He has been advocating to get his family on the chartered flight from the US State Department, but no luck so far (pretty sure it took off today already). https://www.fox21news.com/top-stori...y56ZUOgNMf_7O73hA5gf2zw58GRX0Qfwgg3ONhcObfWyE

    If anyone has any pull/influence or just wants to share their story, please do.

    Wasn't the Ebola virus started by bats? Black plague and rats? Snakes can't be much better... I'm grossed out.

    Won't stop me from eating some beaver tonight though :biglaugh:

    Sounds like a confirmed human to human to human case of the virus in Germany.

    A German has the virus that has never been to China. But was in contact with a person from Shanghai, who has relatives in Wuhan.

    What scares me is how fast this virus is spreading compared to the sars virus.

    I'm listening to a teleconference right now with a former Deputy Director of the CDC and he is talking about this now.

    Latest report from China. 6,000 with virus, 132 deaths.

    Unconfirmed report of 14 hospital workers with the virus. To be fair, it is unclear if they became infected before protective masks and other gear were being used.
