I'd like to keep this thread as a chronicle of events and projections, how to address avoidance and how to react if infected.......not a 'scare' or 'hopeless' scenario.

Coronavirus is spreading.

Some current events:

US prepares for possible coronavirus pandemic, WHO officials say Iran outbreak 'worrisome'

I usually shop in the early morning hours during the flu season to avoid crowds.
I am up to date on my flu and pneumonia shots, while they don't address coronavirus, I suspect it helps in avoiding complications with them.

( you all stay well )

Got my flu and RSV shots early Sept.; 7th Covid shot early Oct.
Texas Lege has passed a bill to prevent mandatory masking and CV19 shots - I expect our idiot RWNJ guvnor will sign the bill. Our Covid cases on the rise.

We decided not to get the 5th Covid because it isn't for the variation in our area. This according to a doctor interviewed on the local news. Cases are not high in PA. That might change over Thanksgiving/Christmas season. Also we have no underlying conditions so we are skipping the RSV shot too. We got our flu shot early in September.
We got 2 pneumonia shots pre-Covid so I suspect this helps with preventing some respiratory illnesses.
