Thanks for the post Zeke. The weeks long incubation period is telling. Reports of minimal symptoms from younger carriers is also telling. It tells us that a healthy body typically deals with this virus reasonably well. (much better than a knock anyone on their ass flu) Of course like so many cold viruses the body may respond with more fever and mucus production (both trying to eliminate the virus) than a frail body can take. -THAT is a problem. But that has always been an issue.

This isn't like some Ebola virus that tears the crap out of any human body. And yet people are acting as if it is. I thought it might be a regional over-reaction, but this freak-out has become a national sensation.

I'm not going to lie, I do like the light commute traffic. And it's nice to see that community can respond quickly; but really, this is just a fire-drill.
