SF issued a very real warning today. What about Mandarins and their emphasis (not exclusivity) on Asian members; are they at higher risk? Should DCI quarantine either corps from tour to protect other corps members? Boston?

OMG - does this mean you can get corona virus from a toilet seat?!?!? Cal down people - first off, it is from China so it is not going to last long. Second, the serious cases seem to happen in the elderly, very young, or otherwise vulnerable (for example - immunosuppressed) individuals. If you have 13 Min & care to see a good but not too technical explanation of what is really going on from a physician who posts on youtube than check this out. But watch it all because there are some really good points he makes at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I have a solution for everyone who wants to avoid Corona Virus and for kids marching in drum corps, it could help with dues and spending money for the summer. If you walk into a CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, or other chain pharmacy, chances are you will see a help wanted sign. Apply and accept the job, even if it’s part time. My father was a pharmacist and owned his own store. As early as I can remember, I waited on customers who coughed, sneezed, wiped their runny nose then handed me their money. Then there was cleaning up after a kid vomited and cleaned up after other unpleasantries I’ll leave to your imagination. I rarely catch anything worse than a slight cold. I need to watch my blood pressure and heart rate, but that’s family history, not a contagious illness. Working in a drug store builds up your immunity for a lifetime. 👨⚕️ .🤧 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geneva Car Show (one of the world's largest) was just cancelled. Major watch shows have also been cancelled and some were scheduled for April. I speak to people around the world including China, Japan and other areas. There is extreme concern about this virus which I suspect is not fully appreciated in the US.

I have a friend who is a heavyweight in IT and they cancelled the big show in Barcelona last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that your naive statement is true. You do not know. You would be wise to be cautious.
