Lol ** -- HokieNLot11 03/11/2020 11:05PM

Or you can just assume you'll be one of the 99%+ that get over it -- Vienna_Hokie 03/11/2020 10:47PM

Yep, I forget that one. Thanks for reminding me. ** -- HokieNLot11 03/11/2020 10:53PM

I mean those numbers are completely made up. We don’t really know how -- AbsolutVT03 03/11/2020 10:51PM

No, they are not made up...they are based on data from Johns Hopkins -- Vienna_Hokie 03/11/2020 11:08PM

Why is death the only measure of significance? ** -- Air-Ic 03/11/2020 11:17PM

There is a happy medium between panic and not being prudent -- HwoodHokie 03/12/2020 12:08AM

People who got SARS and MERS (both corona viruses)... -- bulab 03/11/2020 11:49PM

And there were no shutdowns for those two. -- EDGEMAN 03/12/2020 08:06AM

It continues to amaze me how often people conflate COVID with the common -- Baltimore Hokie 03/12/2020 12:07AM

But that’s the thing... we don’t know how “massively skewed” the numbers -- AbsolutVT03 03/11/2020 11:16PM

I think you just hit on the problem -- Vienna_Hokie 03/11/2020 11:24PM

No one is screaming and yelling. And I disagree that there isn't more we -- AbsolutVT03 03/12/2020 09:55AM

C'mon on Global warming!!! C'mon on Global warming. ** -- TexasGobbler 03/11/2020 10:41PM

No travel, means less fossil fuels burned, which means ice age is next. ** -- Hoakie82 03/11/2020 11:33PM

Very good. I think pick-up / delivery is the way to go -- bulab 03/11/2020 10:39PM

Seriously! How is delivery helping anything? I know... -- Coach McGuirk 03/11/2020 11:26PM

Anything to prevent crowds is a help -- bulab 03/11/2020 11:48PM

I read that the Coronavirus stays alive on surfaces for 2-3 hours -- Late 80s Hokie 03/12/2020 08:04AM
