Thank you.

I hadn't had a fever, that I knew of. I was getting chills at sweats at night, but only checked 2X for it. Maybe that's why.

I live in Ohio, but I went to a WV MedExpress.

Italy death toll rises by 93 overnight to 463, and total confirmed cases is over 9,000 (an increase of 1,800).


The WHO is still not ready to call it a pandemic, but says the threat is very real:

"Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, told a news conference.

"But it would be the first pandemic that could be controlled. The bottom line is we are not at the mercy of the virus."

Bootleg booze kills 27 in Iran after virus 'cure' rumours
Twenty-seven people have died from methanol poisoning in Iran after rumours that drinking alcohol can help cure the novel coronavirus infection, state news agency IRNA reported.

A spokesman for Jundishapur medical university in Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan, said 218 people had been hospitalised there after being poisoned. The poisonings were caused by "rumours that drinking alcohol can be effective in treating coronavirus," Ali Ehsanpour said.

Drinking alcohol is banned in Iran for everyone except some non-Muslim religious minorities.

Just a heads up for anyone planning to travel by air, I can't speak for all airlines (I fly Southwest), but prices are being slashed to the bone. Already had flights booked for Easter, dropped by 40%, called and got a credit. Booking flights for our trip in May - STL to CLE - $49 each way, non-stop. Bottom line, if you already have a flight booked, check current prices and call for a credit. wink

Mike Rowe, traveling to Chicago with his parents via airplane in 2018:



Flying to Chicago with the parents, who are recently recovered from the flu. The doctor allowed them to travel, but advised them to take every precaution…

Mom: Michael, will it embarrass you if we wear our surgical masks on this flight?

Mike: Not if you’re performing surgery.

Dad: Don’t be a smart guy. We’re strapped into a giant Petri dish. The doctor says these masks could save our lives!

Mike: Only if your wife actually puts the mask over her nose.

Mom: I don’t like it over my nose. It fogs up my glasses.

Dad: Then what’s the point? The germs will get up your nose if you don’t keep it covered!

Mom: But I can’t see the Sudoku if my glasses are all fogged up!

Mike: He’s right, Mom. If you’re gonna wear the mask, you might as well wear it properly.

Mom: But if it’s over my nose, I’ll be breathing CO2. That’s a deadly gas, you know.

Dad: Good grief, Peggy, do you think the doctor would tell us to wear a mask if it were gonna kill us!

Mom: What do YOU know, John? You’ve got your string wrapped around your hearing aid!

Dad: What?

Captain: Welcome aboard, everyone. We’ll be flying into a pretty stiff headwind today, but we’re still gonna do our best to assure an on-time arrival.

Dad: “Do our best?” What the hell does that mean? Don’t they always do their best?

Mom: He sounds sleepy, Michael.

Mike: Who, Dad?

Mom: No, the Pilot.

Mike: He’s not sleepy, he’s just bored.

Mom: I hope there’s a co-pilot. Do you suppose there’s a co-pilot up there?

Mike: Probably. Where else would they put him?

Mom: Do you think he’s wearing a mask?

Flight Attendant: Excuse me, can I get you two something to drink?

Dad: Pardon me?

Flight Attendant: I said, CAN I GET YOU TWO SOMETHING TO DRINK?

Dad: Yes, please, I’d like some orange juice.

Flight Attendant: I beg your pardon?

Dad: Some orange juice, please.

Flight Attendant: I'm sorry, sir, can you speak up?

Mom: John, take your mask off, she can’t understand you.

Dad: I’m not taking this mask off. She might be infected!!

Mom: So I guess you’ll be drinking your orange juice through the mask?

Dad: Maybe I will!!!

Mom: Well then, I’m not putting this stupid thing over my nose!!!

Flight Attendant: I can come back later…

Mike: To answer your question, Mom, no - this isn’t embarrassing at all…

"The governor said that all three cases are in Cuyahoga County.

According to the governor, two of the cases are from a couple that went on a cruise on the Nile River. One of them was hospitalized.

The other case is from a person that went to a conference in Washington D.C."

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Most likely, nothing specific, yet.
It is my understanding that the governors have been doing this by wrote as a means of giving more rapid access to money/funding/equipment/resources. Without it, they are still bound to go through normal channels for things, whereas with it they can expedite orders.

Can’t be any worse than what we get when we swim in Lake Erie.

Most likely just a formal declaration at this point to make emergency orders and funding capabilities possible.

I haven't seen that. I'm not usually one for documentaries, but I might have to check that out.


Odd that we haven't seen updated numbers for France or Germany, yet, today.

The US is over 600 cases now. I'll be surprised if it isn't 1,500+ by next Monday.
