Trying to think how long flus run their course even with world wide ones. Don’t want to guess but well over in few months if that?? note: not talking 1918 Spanish flu which actually mutated once or twice and reappeared at least once.

The sidewalks get cleaned every morning by the wonderful sanitation department. Trash cans emptied, new disposable syringes, fresh bottle water and ready made meals delivered. Even new North Face 2-Meter Geodesic Domes were being delivered for homeless families. No plague here.

In that case, the risk assessment would be different.” Which gets us back to we just don’t know yet. There’s no reason to think this is turning into Captain Trips but, considering the disruption happening in other corners of the world, it would still be smart, IMO, for DCI to have some initial discussions about possible repercussions for the activity this coming summer.

When I saw you guys talking about it though, it made me think (because my brain makes no sense,) of one of the exchanges in Cunk On Britian. And before someone trolls me accusing me of being insensitive....I'm not being insensitive. But sometimes you gotta laugh at the world so you don't cry.. Philomena Cunk - "How long would you get off work if you got the black death?" Professor Vanessa Harding - "In about 70% of cases, you would get off of work forever." Philomena Cunk - "Oh! All right! Huzzah!" Professor Vanessa Harding - "Because you would be dead..." Philomena Cunk - "Oh..." If you've never seen Cunk on Britian I highly suggest it. It's pretty ####### funny.

Incognito365 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Wow, you guys marched corps, know the "news" before it ever hits the stands, know the truth from the fake "news" regardless of personal knowledge of the individual, AND are all doctors or top professionals in the medical field? I can't believe you find time to post on DCP! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
