These underlying conditions make coronavirus more severe, and they're surprisingly common

I just deleted a post that was completely political in nature (Sorry EZ Nova). I understand the emotions and to some degree hysteria surrounding the Corona Virus, but this forum is about like minded people sharing our common interest ...our cars.... NOT POLITICS!


Regarding our car values, purchasing anything has its inherent risks. As we mature most tend to be less of a risk taker. My definition of a risk is purchasing something purely on speculation(stock market traders and classic car dealers are experts at).


The cars I own are very important to me and as a matter of fact during the meltdown yesterday I was thrashing on the orange RS/Z and quite honestly it took my mind off my stock market portfolio and 401k. Oh and filled and took advantage of the low cost of fuel.

Sorry Steve, it was a joke and not intended to be political. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

I was in the Orlando airport sunday night and saw 4 people with masks. I dont know what language they were speaking but looked Asian. I saw 2 college aged guys eating with latex gloves on. I did see people using hand sanitizer and some on the plane wiped the seats off but that was about it.

This starts tomorrow & will be a good litmus test.https://www.mecum.com/
Mecum has reserves,so it'll be interesting to see if enough people show up to get past those reserve prices.

New York State Setting Up 1-Mile Coronavirus Containment Zone With National Guard

The state of New York is setting up a special coronavirus containment zone in the city of New Rochelle in Westchester County with the help of the National Guard, according to a press conference with state officials on Tuesday afternoon.

Westchester, which currently has 108 cases and is just north of New York City, became one of the worst hotspots in the country after a Manhattan lawyer who lives in the county was infected with COVID-19. His wife, two children, and the neighbor who drove him to the hospital also contracted the disease.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/24...ama/index.html

H1n1 declared a pandemic in April 2009 ,yet declared an emergency 5 months later only after millions already infected,20000 hospitalized and over 1000 dead, and that was just counting the United States. Heres the best part. From the start of the pandemic to its finish, the stock market in 2009 INCREASED by 40%.................No bad media means no hysteria
