Forum Support Old55 Posted March 2, 2020 Forum Support Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) This morning a number of schools were closed due to potential exposures. The governor has declared a health emergency for Washington State. It’s here and has been for awhile now so nothing much to do but enjoy the ride. Update 3PM, six dead in the Puget Sound area.

Just across the Strait of Juan de Fuca I believe we have it here too; and people are in denial. It is flu season, so people think nothing of wandering about in public coughing and sneezing and there are more than the usual amount doing so. I overheard one ole lady comment to her friend "Oh great, now I probably caught the Coronavirus from that coughing old fool". No one is getting checked at the doctor as they blame any symtoms on the normal flu . . at the moment. And no one is taking any precautions as they do not yet believe it is here or that it is really serious. We are all "dying" to find out. (Half the people in this area, including the ones I wrote about, are over 50. It is a retirement community). We stay at home, but sometimes it is necessary to go out for groceries. That's when we noticed the bad "flu season" here, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Filipinos are so superstitious that they prefer not to think of anything that involves 'What if?... because they truly believe that thinking about negative things will make them actually come true. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
