People just aren't thinking. Why would running water be impacted by this?
Anyone else worried about coronavirus...

ACC officials will mistakenly wear them over their eyes....it won’t make much difference though.
There are some US cities, with reported cases but from what I’ve read so far, these were all few in number and isolated and not folks running lose on the streets. Can’t say it couldn’t affect an given site, but I’d not expect that.
Now 6 deaths (4 new) reported in the 38 minutes since your post. If it keeps going on this pace we might hit 100 by tomorrow.
It could be that the mortality rate might be exaggerated considering that CV symptoms are so mild that many do not realize they have contracted the virus, get over it, and go unreported.
Number of reported cases versus confirmed deaths, however, that's purely speculative because who knows the number of actual infected with the number of deaths that may have occurred but not known to be coronavirus related.
Wasn't responding to you with my comment meant that people are buying up water currently like it's a hurricane and they'll be no running water. Regardless, the reason the health community is concerned is:
-transmits easier than the flu
-lives longer outside of the body than the flu
-has a long period where people show no symptoms but are contagious
-has around 2-4% death rate depending on country currently, 20-30x higher than that of the flu (which is generally around .01-.03%)
In 2018 it was estimated that 40,000,000 people got the flu and 61,000 died from it. Translate all those viral infections to CV-19 viruses and 800,000 will die every year in the US. If this thing gets a foothold, it will become a seasonal epidemic.
This is not remotely true. Like at all.
Why is the stock market up +868.36 (3.42%) today. Nothing has changed. All hype.
Seriously. Some of you might want to pump the brakes on getting your medical information from your orange faced deity. Dont worry, you dont have to watch CNN. Just read and listen to actual medical reports from medical professionals.
First part maybe, 2nd part not a chance in hell. One week from now it will be the only thing people are talking about.
I usually check the NASDAQ for my epidemiology information on viral contagions.Good to note. Good day for stock market = everythings fine!
Allowed me to get some more Apple Shares at a 60 dollar off their true value price so that changed which was nice!
Gee, and I thought this was all made up. You are so clever ... watching the same numbers as you are without the risible commentary.
Good thing CBS has never gotten anything wrong and always report facts.
Funny the headline says BREAKING: 6 DEAD WASHINGTON STATE. Then the video says 5 dead in the US
There are 6 deaths in Washington. Video may have been made before the article was posted and the death total was raised by the time it was put up.
Panic? Estimation of the general effects of the virus? Containment expectations? ... seriously?
As opposed to reading your insightful commentary?Good to note. Good day for stock market = everythings fine!
I don't understand your point. If you don't think this a hoax then I obviously wasn't speaking to you. Why the passive aggressiveness?
The stock market has 0 to do with the epidemiology of a virus. Whether people want to buy or sell stocks does not effect rate of transmission or mortality rates especially when the administration is making a concerted effort to downplay it to not effect the economy.
You're again not getting the point. The poster said the coronavirus was "all hype" and cited the stock market going up for the reason. I and the other poster responded to him pointing out the rise in the stock market might not be the best predictor for how dangerous coronavirus can be.

Even if you want to play that game like it matters last week they sunk over 10%. Then with people trying to buy low it went back up. Did something change with the virus? Maybe I'm missing something.
Also, the Spanish Flu killed between 30-50 million people. The stock market was largely not impacted during it.
So you admit you misread my post and instead of just apologizing you want to continue to be stubborn? Got it.
Thanks for the insight ....pontificating is what you do best. Market analysts take all this into consideration...
Who said they didn't take that into consideration?
Maybe step away from the keyboard for a minute instead of continuing to shift the goal posts when you realize you're missing the point post after post. I realize this is condescending at this point but you're arrogance is a bit much to ignore.
Again please explain how the stock market is an indicator of epidemiology of a virus.
The stock market was not impacted by the Spanish Flu even though it killed 5% of the Earth's population.
Your also completely ignoring the fact that last week it dropped 1,000 points. The number of infected/deaths only increased from last week to this week so what happened with the virus? It went from serious issue (huge drop) to not huge issue?
there is a huge difference between the present global market and the market during the Spanish flu.
Okay then please explain how the market is different now versus in 1919 and the difference makes the current world market a much much more reliable indicator of global viral impact of a highly contagious germ.
If you would like to discuss, feel free to discuss instead of vaguely tossing insults. You're literally responding with either shifting the goal post or just nothing.
My original post was responding to someone else (not you) hoping that people are listening to medical professionals instead of the President regarding the coronavirus.
You responded, for some reason thinking this was directed at you, by telling me sarcastically you thought it was all a hoax and you're watching the numbers.
It's really hard to decipher what exactly you're getting at, other than being insufferable.
