    If it had been that long ago, our rate of infection, based on the how quickly this virus spreads, would be MUCH higher than it currently is at. While the CCP is a lying bag of feces on most things. The patient zero info seems logical.

    Our Schools is finished the rest of the year maybe even the next school year too. Those who can are just carrying on basic R courses online.

    Walmart in our area caused a new problem with their 30 count limit entry and herds of people gathered around the doors for hours all day waiting to get in. The other three local grocery stores without that kind of restriction have very full overflowing parking lots while all 10 cashiers are ringing up the money. The People want to get in, get the food pay for it and get out. None of the BS walmart standing around and get sick possibly. The local stores did implement traffic type changes so people in this way people out that way. Not too bad.

    We did car repairs on failed back brakes today in Searcy, and they had a limit of 4 inside while waiting. So there was two of us 6 feet apart and a third. The boss was wrapped in towel while coughing which incidentially was against Governor's Ban on coughing and fevers allowed inside public places as of midnight last night. However he is the boss and we put up with it. He did all he could too. Gloves and all. The one benefit was the work and wait was finished in a hour. The shop was less than half full. SO thats a bonus.

    We are functioning under a lockdown situation ourselves even though our Governor has not yet been forced to lock the state down any more than he has already. Hes bent over backwards to support the people who are doing very good job believe it or not without having to be ordered about.

    The reason is probably because the source is bs. You probably got it from some nut job on the internet.

    Doubt it. There is no proof that Covid 19 was present in the USA in December.

    I have some insight just first hand from doing some state quick response vehicle work.

    I had a symptom and they pulled me off the road and am still currently on quarantine status. It took 10 days after a call with a doctor (they want to to intubate or you could come back a false negative) to get a test of which I have had 3 this year from nature of work. From that 10 days I'll be forced to wait a minimum 14 days symptom free before being reevaluated to go back out into the field at this time.

    So government idiots are saying ehhhhh let's keep em out a couple weeks and throw em back out there. They don't really know if it contagious or not at this moment.

    But that's just me.
    You should really talk to you doctor.
