There was one each yesterday in Volusa and Broward counties .... 12 people out of 22 million.. You'll have a better chance of dying of a heart attack or golf cart accident this year ...

Given that this is but the very beginning, of what none of us know will end up being the final numbers/tally, I posit that...it's waaay too early to make such pronouncements. |

Government
What ever you hear, what ever anyone tells you it is up to you to take care of yourself, it is the government’s job to protect you, but the government can not protect you from yourself, use common sense and you should be fine. Sure we maybe close to each other here in TV. Take care of yourself and at the same time you will be taking care of your neighbors.

I agree with you and I am sure most do, on this statement.

For what it's worth, my daughter's neighbor who is a doctor at NIH told her that he expects that there will be many school closings in April.

I don't want to see it happen, but I guess it's inevitable.

Maybe, maybe not.
These viruses tend to do one of three things: a) Fizzle out b) Continue for a while but at a steady rate c) Grow exponentially. They all look like they are growing exponentially at the beginning, after all 1-2-4-8-16 is growing at 100% in whatever time frame. But even as more people are infected, the virus starts to run into barriers to continued exponential growth---natural immunity, social and geographic barriers, human intervention such as quarantine, etc. This one seems to have a long prodromal period and a low fatality rate, so it may be around for a while. Contrast this with Ebola, which has a short prodromal period and an extremely high fatality rate, so even in Africa it tends to fizzle out quickly. |

I think it is easy to cross over to unnecessary panic. Even if there were 12 cases, at this time, that would be .00005% of the population of Florida. As mentioned in post # 4, there are some safe guards that can be taken and if someone is at high risk as is one of my relatives, then being more cautious is advised. We have family flying in tomorrow and I have no concerns about going to the airport. I have hand sanitizer in the car, and I will use hand sanitizer offered in public places. I will make sure to get lots of rest and personally, I am certainly taking vitamins and herbs that I think will help keep my immune system strong as well as making sure I eat as healthy as possible. Some people think we are over reporting to the point of creating a panic and others believe information is being hidden so really what any of us can do is to do the best we can to stay healthy and those choices will be different for each of us depending on our personal situations.

I just received an e-mail from the Villages Rec & Parks Dept. A generic notice, letting us know they're in communication with the Florida dept of health, and the same standard precautionary advice given in the media; wash hands 20 seconds or more, sneeze into tissue and throw tissue away, avoid sick people, etc.
So the Villages Rec & Park department acknowledges it's a concern. Still no need to panic, but we should all be aware that it is, in fact, a concern, and we do, in fact, need to take precautions more than before this strain of coronavirus existed (coronavirii is not new - just this strain of it). |
