your right this isn't a crisis yet ... and so far there are no deaths reported within the united states ... however with only 20 cases we can't get a good kill rate on it yet , EDIT: kill rate unkown .. ..if it should become pandemic ...
As to my rant about sick policy ,, on the ramp if your sick and you call in sick , you get a point that can be used against you , after something like oh 9 points you can be fired ... even with a doctors note i hear ... hence no one calls off sick anymore even if they are ..
As to going to see doctors for treatment , i myself wouldn't go to get checked out unless i was fairly confident that i had it ... the last thing i want to do is walk my healthy self down to the doctors office and sit there in a room filled with the influenza virus ...
i'd like all of you to take a moment and review your own preparedness please ..
I'd like to suggest that all of you go out and get a pantry started ... i wouldn't go today however , wait until low traffic times ,, such as during the middle of the night or early morning ..
Think about buying one a day vitamin pills ... I know they taste horrible , but it’s time for us to juice up our immune systems … ( 7 dollars for a bottle at frys )
You can get 2 face masks N95 grade at Walgreens for 5 dollars …
And as always , wash your hands and avoid crowded places ..
