    Looking at 1.3 million people if Coronavirus hits. So yeah guess it’s a bigger deal than just the flu.

    Such a ridiculous statistic, even in other countries the deaths have been those with compromised immune systems (the elderly and the young that haven’t built up a an immune system) but go ahead and believe the fear tactics, you better run out and get your masks, and hazmat gear.

    There are not any test kits for the virus, so the real number is being suppressed. If there is no test, no one is diagnosed and they can keep the "official" numbers down.

    Stock up on vitamin C, potassium iodine, magnesium citrat e and D3 K2 ; or don't, it's up to you to keep your immune system up. As truckers we are generally isolated, to a large degree, compared to many other jobs. Picking up and delivering usually only involves a few people. The real problem area is using the truck stop crapper.

    partially false. There are no test kits at the hospitals. HOWEVER, the CDC and WHO do have the ability to test for it. So all samples are being sent to them. It however, takes 3 days for the results to come back.
