6 days later, 131 confirmed cases.
[QUOTE=MammieJammer;4706771]In addition to the usual concerns that someone has engaging in this hobby we now have the covid 19 coronavirus to contend with. It is very contagious and easily passed virus so I thought I would mention to the Forum that there are now 12 confirmed cases in Alabama six of them in Jefferson County as of the 15th of this month. This is a URL that you can check the status of new cases here in Alabama it gives a breakdown county-by-county of where new cases are located.

Hope this is helpful. MJ.
[blue]Why are you worried. There are 19 cases and 4,900,000 people. You're chances of getting run over by a bus are better. Are you worried about crossing the street?
There will be 28,000 new cases of cancer in Alabama this year.
Covid is a thing, wash your hands, use sanitizer, avoid large crowds but it's not the end of the world.
It's the media whipping this into hype, don't be a lemming brother.

Dr. Li Wenliang the doctor who initially raised concerns about the virus in China died from covid19. He was 33. So, it's not only the old and infirm that are dying.
Media whipping it into a frenzy? Do you doubt the number of dead in Italy? Military trucks to move the dead for cremation. Do you want to see that here? The dead don't joke.
