the virus that comes from china has spread tons in the nothern hemishere  but not in the southern hemispere.  i looked it up on the cdc map of confirned cases and there were none for south america and only some for africa and then only in the northern most part.

also there seemed to be no cases in central america

My suspicious mind keeps wondering if this was contrived for some reason.  Our economy us certainly taking a huge hit.  Sadly, nothing would surprise me.

on the nws, i had heard that it was a bio     weapon made in china that some how got away from them.  but that is just hearsay

What I find interesting is that most of the victims of this strange virus outside of China recover. There are very few fatalities outside of the demographic that usually succumbs to illnesses: the very old, the very young and those with compromised immune systems. In contrast, China seems to have a very high mortality rate but the Chinese government  is not saying what type of people are succumbing to this disease. Anyway, keep it in perspective. There are over 6 BILLION people on this planet. There are only a few thousand cases, most in China. So, don't worry about it. Just take the normal precautions like you take about any other contagious illness.

I'm more concerned now than I was a week ago. 

People are not respecting rules and precautions intended to contain it. There are always some who think the rules don't apply to them.

I have been thinking of ordering masks for a couple of weeks now. Looking at the big A store. I noticed the prices have continually gone up every couple days so I took the plunge.  I was thinking if the virus does start really moving here there might be a shortage.

I am more concerned with the stock market  tanking than  anything else

It is warmer in the southern hemisphere so the virus might not thrive there.
