Something is going to kill me some day. Might be this month from Corona virus. Might be 25 years from now of old age in a nursing home. I'm not going to worry about it too much. Certainly not going to obsess about it. That is one thing in common all humans have. We will all be dead at some point.
Corona virus cases will skyrocket in a week.

Oh and I forgot to add something else.
This time of year for many parts of the nation do not have enough sun to kill things like viruses. UV light is the number one or two killer of viruses.Dan.S Thanks this. -
This could be bigger than the Swine Flue/Harmonic Convergence/Y2K/Solar Eclipse/Bee-pocalyspe collapse of the world!
Panic early and avoid the rush.Freddy57, homeskillet, 650cat425 and 3 others Thank this. -
Nobody is even talking about the lurking menace in every home and office in America. Children can buy it in stores. It doesn't even have a warning label. Di-hydrous Monoxide.Snow Hater and Freddy57 Thank this.

And you don't have to cook it nearly as long to make it tender.

Actually...not to down play but China didn't burn much of their currency..They simply quarantined it for 14 days. They simply stored it long enough for the virus to die off.Trucker61016 Thanks this.

Good excuse to avoid fast food. Had to go to three different Walmarts to find rice though. Not sure how to avoid public bathrooms.

There is a lot of uncertainty about the whole situation and there doesn't seem to be any pause in the negative news flow. All I can add is that I would not want to be stuck in a truck, with no supplies and no way of resupplying, for any length of time. I have a prepper mentality and I would want to be near my preps and weapons, but that's just me.
I'm sure there are drivers right now contemplating a return to their home terminal, parking the truck and heading for their home to be with family, not sure if they are going back out any time soon. No one on this board really knows how this is going to unfold. I cancelled my trip back to the USA a week ago, so I'm not driving because quite frankly, I just don't have any faith in the people in charge to ever do the right thing.
The bottom line is you are on your own in this, just like when Celadon shut down, drivers were the last to know.6wheeler Thanks this.
