So this covid-19 virus is getting out of hand honestly in my opinion. we have 18 confirmed cases in wisconsin as of today. they canceled all before and after school activities here in my town and covid is nowhere near us yet. they are even starting to send iPads home with our children everyday. to me this covid-19 is just another form of flu. it always seems to be something every year for us americans. i didnt even stock up on anything but have plenty of hand sanitizer lol. what do you think of this new covid-19 flu virus going around?

You should look at what is happening in Northern Italy, where they have one of the best health care system/hospital infrastructure in Europe before taking it like you do. It kills ten times more than a flu, it is 3 times more contagious, the hospitals are full, the doctors have to chose in the street who they will try to save and who will die... Wake up, it has nothing to do with an average flu.

I didn't stock up on anything ether, but I did go today and get few things from the grocery store. I didn't go overboard and buy like some people, though.

@carebear29 I really think some of them are just money hungry people to, buying up everything to re-sell themselves to make money. I think the ones that are doing this should be ashamed of themselves But, I know I shouldn't say this but: "Look at all the money they can make at the flea market, just on toilet paper a lone! They could ask about any price they want to and people would but it right now! lol

I think people are panicking like they do with something almost every year... I have God who I trust in 100%, He is my healer.

I survived swine flu with eating pork and still ate chicken during the bird flu. I guess I need to go buy some Corona to get through this one

It's not another flu, in my opinion. But it's also nothing for me to panic over. I just worry about my Grandmother because shes old.
