    Well there are 4 major different strains of the "flu" and it's a gamble as to which vaccination you will get to combat it. I had the shot in Oct. and got the flu in Dec. so it didn't really help. I'm not canceling any plans for anything as of yet, if A/V is going on, I plan to be there.

    Bill, when you have the flu you have symptoms and you know it. With this virus you can be infectious up-to 14 days and have no symptoms, meanwhile you’re out and about possibly and unknowingly spreading the virus. Hence, the statement if you believe you have been exposed self quarantine for two weeks; by then if you’ve got it you will start displaying the symptoms. That’s why people are panic buying. The quarantine and recovery period can last for a number of weeks.

    You are an adult and therefore solely responsible for all decisions taken.

    If Oshkosh is not cancelled I'm confident the grounds will be much easier to navigate, the trams will have lots of room, the food line-ups will move very quickly and you will be able to roll a bowling ball down a exhibitor hangar isle and not hit anybody.

    I don't know that the sun rises in the West, I just know that it's true.

    My response is not as stoic or forgiving as yours. When I hear stuff like that my full head of hair stands on end so I look like Don King.

    C'mon, Floats, look at the bright side: Bill is obviously ready for a major role in American politics. He doesn't know the facts, he's not INTERESTED in the facts, but he's ready to make the big decisions.

    I suspect that not much thought preceded this comment.
