Coronavirus is in the heartland of America. And I'm refering to the Kung Flu/ Wuhan coronavirus.

Coronavirus Confirmed in Madison

Details are few and identities are withheld, But other residents and occupants of Eagle Heights Staff Housing for The University of Wisconsin have been cautioned to report any symptoms immediately.

Our daughter and her family lived there until last summer and two grandchildren are still attending the primary school there.

That article is from the 6th. There's been 3 other cases confirmed since then.

Should we be impressed that medical authorities sent the infected person home with instructions to remain isolated?

Supposedly someone is checking daily to confirm that they're still at home...

Just do a google search on "corona virus America"

You'll get several hits.

I've been checking it daily.

OK, I googled it. As of yesterday, 1 case in Wisconsin. I did find 2 confirmed cases in Chicago, which I was unaware of.

Can't help but wonder if Chinese buffet restaurants are experiencing a serious slump in customers with all the widespread Corona-virus concerns?

Seems like every time we ate at the local one they had some new Asian employees.

Reports here are that business is down a lot in Asian restaurants and some are even getting hated on social media.

Kinda stupid if you ask me.

From a quick search of "Asian restaurant Corona-virus" it appears Chinese restaurants across this country and in other countries as well are experiencing a noticeable drop in customers.

Canada has been very quiet as I’ve read nothing about virus problems there in our local paper or on tv.

Canada has quite a few Chinese folks on board. Several that I worked with in China are now engineers in Alberta. Quite a few more are (were) regular visitors to family members in Vancouver.

Open borders and foreign students. None of which should be in this country.

With the high traffic, and high speed of travel, it is bound to be all over.

Truth.
I’ve yet to see one here with dog, bat, chicken feet, snake gall bile, field mice stew, etc. on the menu or at the buffet.

The stuff that I ate and drank while spending 9 years there will probably be back to visit me some day.
