Her hometown is in northeast of Beijing and not a single confirmation has shown up in her hometown... but the surround towns did... and I scrambled and argued with United to get her home earlier. To be honest, I was more concerned with her getting on a plane to go to Beijing and then to Chicago and then to Orlando... Planes (and ships) are a great way to spread it. I joked that I would lock her in a bedroom for 14 days... but the punch line is, I was also in the bedroom... She is 24 days without any sign of anything. And me too... in case your next question was, "Were you tested". I seem ok. That was a huge risk to many! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralis Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I will say this. I bought a new iPhone 11 a couple of weeks ago which is manufactured in China and was lucky to get it since the supply chain is being significantly reduced. I did wonder the ramifications if it carried this virus. Although, US corporations manufacture in China and if it carried the virus, I surmised that millions of other products would be potential vectors also. The infection rate here in the US would be quite large. My neighbor who is a Public Health Dr. (Johns Hopkins) asked me if I sterilized my new phone? That gave me pause! She was serious! There are many products that all come in contact with that are manufactured in China and from what I see is that if such products were vectors we would already know it.

When self-serving is caring and dedicating and ensuring a loved one gets back home... I'm guilty as charged. We actually talked about her staying in china, despite she was already there 2 months. That her hometown was risk free, so far... and going on planes was a bigger risk. I'm curious: Has anyone here faced the idea to ask their wife to stay in another country and not return home for an unknown amount of time? Are those that question the situation even married?

See, I was on my way out, but ya called me in again, so here I am: honey I'm home! But I'm not Ward Cleaver, I'm Ralph Kramden. Flying her home was a risk--there's no denying there was a self-interest that came before the rest of the world--but this is understandable and common. Quarantining her at home rather than going to actual medical professionals or self-reporting, however, is the issue, old boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is the greatest threat to human growth and enlightenment in the universe. The Order of the Red Dragon is devoted to man's growth and protection.

Evil is not an adequate term for the forces that control your lives. We will introduce you to the major players in the organization known as The Order of the Green Dragon. You will learn how it was formed, how it grew, and how it affects your life on a daily basis. In order to understand and defend yourselves properly, you need to know more about who you are fighting. Hurricanes, earthquakes, disease, volcanoes, mass murder, war, drugs, gambling, slavery are only a few of the tools that this organization uses to subvert the human race. You need to know more about them. You need to know why they hate you. Hang on a minute .... I KNOW about this ! Its the red dragons that are the bad ones and the green dragons are good !

Yea... I locked my wife in a bedroom, chained her to a stall... I passed water through a sieve... gave her rice once a day... meat once a week. she was contained due to the overly obsessive Bums member who said she was at risk, despite he knows nothing.

Heartbreak Posted February 28, 2020 I hate to say this but does anyone ever consider the fact that the virus isn’t solely being transmitted by Chinese citizen? There are so many cases now of local transmissions who have had no contact at all with anyone Chinese that you can’t help but wonder if certain parties are releasing the virus on purpose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I understand you, you want to say there is community sharing of the virus, which I think the data is showing is true. But you would have to explain the idea of releasing on purpose. I have thoughts but would like to hear your point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
