Does any of the three posters here personally know anyone with coronavirus?
I don’t

To tell you the truth, Bro. Beni, I told my mom last night that I wonder now if that is what was wrong with me Christmas into January...
I had my flue shot months ago, and haven't had the flu in years... so I didn't fever... no chills or aches, other than old lady aches... no sneezing or runny nose. Just a hacking, dry cough that wouldn't quit.
My doctor said it was not the flu, just a virus that would have to run its course. After sever weeks I told her I was tired of running the marathon, so she prescribed a strong cough syrup... it didn't really help, and the cough is now gone.
One of my sisters in law received the same diagnosis... just a virus that an antibiotic wouldn't help.
So honestly, it
could have been Covid-19 and nobody knew what it was or it could have been some other ailment.
Bottom line: tho' I don't personally know of anyone who had or has it now I'm not doubting it is a real issue.
Now... are folks in a hyped/panic mode, oh yeah! Just game back from trying to buy groceries, and it's crazy! But some of the
precautions against the unknown at this juncture may be wise. I would rather we paused on the side of caution than to bury our heads in the sand, and holler that it's all fake news...
Not saying you're doing that... just saying...
