The coronavirus is now reported in 59 countries. It’s a global pandemic, even if the WHO still refuses to call it that.
And speaking of the WHO, the CDC, and most of the governments around the world, they’re still unwilling to urge folks to take advance preparation. In too many cases, the numbers and terminology are being ‘fudged’ in ways both obvious and insulting. It’s getting maddening at this point. Not only it their lack of urgency putting lives at risk, it’s increasing the chaos and panic that will ensue in areas overwhelmed by mass outbreaks when they occur.
Even the stubborn financial markets have finally realized that covid-19 is a major problem and have been in violent meltdown. In fact, the past week has seen the fast 10%+ loss in the S&P 500 in history.
Folks, this is now a fast-spreading global crisis and it’s crystal clear we can’t rely on the authorities adequately protect or even forewarn us.
When it comes to protection from the coronavirus, you’re on your own.
Keep preparing while there’s still time.

Your links don’t work.
The links work for me. Select go to site.
Ok. They are external YouTube redirects. When you click on the link, just a touch, it takes you to a “page not found” landing. Using a phone, half of the link ends in ellipses.
I pressed down on the link with my finger and finally got the redirect to work.
Just a suggestion…put in parentheses that, if you are on a phone, press and hold the link to redirect. Just touching it, like clicking a link on a PC or laptop, won’t work. There is no “right-clicking” on a phone to get suggestions. Most folks look at phone links and it never occurs to them that they might have to press them for a second or two for them to work…which, in most cases, is odd.
I redid the links.
Awesome! Tested fine.
Sorry about all my squawking. I am a computer geek/programmer/troubleshooter. 😉😁😎
Just thinking, the number of cases cited today is a reflection on what occurred 2 weeks ago.
