Stop flights from Japan and South Korea now!

Make driving great again.

I kind of feel like I should get the virus, get over it, and score some hella travel deals.

TLDR: Maybe, but definitely not China, Iran, Italy and South Korea.

I’m running the LA Marathon tomorrow. 24,000 people from all over 50 states and from around the world. I’ve come to terms that I will eventually get sick so I’m not giving up doing something pre-planned and non-refundable because of the chance I can get sick.

Typo

This makes me feel.better about an upcoming trip.

If it passes through droplets, and I'm sitting next to someone actively coughing and sneezing with whatever ailment, no HEPA filter is going to help me out. I don't get to choose who sits next to me, in front of me, beside or behind me.

Thank you Health Depts for properly evaluating how to manage the cruise ship in order to best protect all Americans. It will be an inconvenience to the ship passengers but it is best to reduce community spread.

Common sense would tell you any large gathering of people is probably a bad time, especially being on a plane with recycled air.

Common flu is far more dangerous than C-Virus having infected millions of Americans annually despite having a vaccine. Fortunately the mutant strain in China that has been transmitted to the States is less virulent than the initial strain. 85% of those w C-virus 'is like a cold.'

You know, I get sick every time I fly. This freaks me out.

It sounds like cruise ships are the main points of contact from a lot of the new cases. I am unsure if it is the hygiene of ships in general over the planes or the locations that the ships travel to vs where most plane go (domestically).

Honestly, holy f-ing capitalist dystopia. American Airlines alone has a net worth of 12B. FFS. It’s SO F-ING EASY for them to say, “folks, there’s a possible pandemic. Need to change arrangements? We’ll work with you.” Hire the extra remote employees. Show *some* concern. FFS
