CDC warns Americans to start preparing for coronavirus outbreak in US...

WASHINGTON/CHICAGO -- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday alerted Americans to begin preparing for the spread of coronavirus in the United States after the flu-like virus surfaced in several more countries. The announcement signals a change in tone for the U.S. health agency, which had largely been focused on efforts to stop the virus from entering the country and quarantining individuals traveling from China.

“The data over the past week about the spread in other countries has raised our level of concern and expectation that we are going to have community spread here,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the CDC head of respiratory diseases, told reporters on a conference call.
What is not known, she said, is when it will arrive and how severe a U.S. outbreak might be. “Disruption to everyday life might be severe,” she cautioned.

Businesses, schools and families should begin having discussions about the possibility that their lives may be disrupted if the virus begins spreading within U.S. communities.

 How many of us have talked about this on our blogs since the news on this broke. I think every airline in the world has stopped flying to from main land China. One of the first things we are doing, not IF, BUT WHEN it gets to our town..The GS will be pulled from school. I don't trust any of the other parents. Our buying habits are changing once again. Stocking up on canned goods, dry goods.

 Stay Alert, Stay Safe... Rob

WELL, SHUCK-E-DERN!!!! Weren't us dumb-ass, hole-digging, seed-planting, shit-kickin' lathe-spinning farmer/machinist types saying this from the beginning? But heyell; this lady went t'KOLLIGE! She's got more GREY MATTER!

Did you notice how Uncle Sam peppered the country, stem to stern, port to starboard, keel to topsail, with "repatriated citizens" from China ahead of this announcement?...

Yep! Us gun totin', Bible readin' hicks are way too stupid to figure this out for ourselves. Which is why most of us are already prepared.
