Don't drink fish tank cleaner.....

Man dies after ingesting chloroquine in an attempt to prevent coronavirus

Don't know why you quoted me? Have no plans to self medicate.

Is that 80% a worst case scenario? Wife and I are high risk senior citizens so if 80% happens our days are likely numbered! :shocked:

Why? if 80% contract it that means 20% don't.
Even in that 80% most will survive,
even most of the seniors that contract it will survive.
Especially with testing and research on going to aid in the survival rates.
Heck a great many people on this board and the majority of people that I know are in the high risk seniors.
Heck I have 7 siblings the youngest is in her 60's, one of my brothers had chemo this past winter and a stem cell transplant he has no immune system.
Both my wife and I have heart issues and copd as well as being seniors we are going to keep on living taking reasonable precautions, we haven't even gone to see the grand kids this month.
I'm certainly not going to hide behind closed drapes, fortunately I do live in a rural area.
But I also do much of the parts running for the farm and I'm not going to stop.

I understand your concern. But everything we know, and it undoubtedly is not enough, says it doesn't just spread in the wind. The Chicom's say the majority of their spread was by family members. I don't put a lot of stock in the Chicom's data, but doesn't it make sense that high urban population density having way more spread than low population density seem to bear that out?

Yes it does make more sense. more people = more virus

Why? Because my wife is diabetic, with damaged heart and kidneys. She's in the ultra-high risk category. That's why. We also live in a rural area and feel safe here. We are really stressed about going to town for essentials.

Good point.

Today my wife was checking with me at each step of ordering groceries to be delivered. Last step, she asked me what's our email password. Noooo! You need to create an account/password on the grocery site before the order is accepted, NOT give them our email and then its password!!!

I think you're right about endless scams.
