The number I read for people 80 or older was about 15%.

I read that the highest mortality rate is for age 60+ males who smoke.
Uh Oh I'm screwed. :) OK, I did quit smoking (thank you Chantix) but 50 years took their toll and I am well over 60, about a decade over. Woe is me. I sneezed earlier too, that could be a bad sign.

Years ago it to a disease a long time to spread but today with it being a small world infectious disease travels at the speed of a jet plane. All it takes is one infectious person (Typhoid Mary) and away things go. How do you defend against it? Nobody really can.

Go hide in a dark hole, but don't eat the bats! I read that they have been studying corona viruses in bat population at US research labs for about 30 years now and that this particular one was stolen from a research lab in North Carolina by the chinese. It was the assumption that the chinese were trying to weaponize it in one of their research labs and obviously got out of their lab.

The CDC left a very important antiviral disinfectant off their list...

If your throat starts to itch spray repeatedly until symtoms go away or you just don't care anymore.

My son in Seattle says it is a ghost town. His wife's college classes are shut down to elearning from home for at least the next 2 weeks. Plus she is sick and had classes with some of the folks who work at the nursing home where the deaths were.

I'm a RYE man. Corn liquor is bad for my blood.

It might actually be a cure. :D

The first Briton believed to have been diagnosed with coronavirus reckons he cured himself with “hot whisky and honey.”

Here's something else interesting. Cleveland, Ohio USA has its share of Chinese restaurants. This morning on the news they were interviewing a Chinese restaurant owner, nice guy. I guess as a result of all this the Chinese restaurants are taking a hard hit, his business was way down. Seriously? People just get really weird. No clue if this extends outward but it can't be limited to just Cleveland. This bug is also wreaking havoc with the global economy with a whole bunch of speculation going on.

No speculation on shelf life of products at Costco or Sams, it’s flying off the shelf’s.

Australia’s virus-inspired mass run on toilet paper reached scary heights on Wednesday – with reports of a shopper with a knife at one Sydney supermarket, and a stampede at another.

Sydney radio 2GB confirmed the toilet paper aisle at Woolworths Parramatta had been taped off and police called in after “an incident” on Wednesday.

No allergies or anything like that. I like a drier (less sweet) drink.:D

And it's healthy. o_O

There used to be a fuel ethanol producer that made very nice semi-premium vodkas, one from wheat and one from rye. I definitely preferred the rye and it turns out that their marketing uncovered that the rye was preferred by men but women preferred the wheat.

I do love a good Sazerac!
