"WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing today that the agency is "deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction” when he said the novel corona virus outbreak is a pandemic."
"...He said in the days and weeks ahead, they expect to see the number of cases and deaths "climb even higher," and expressed concern over the levels of "inaction" in some countries."
I won't be applying for any draw hunts out of state nor will I be traveling any time soon. I have cancelled my trip to Wyoming and my hunt in New Mexico this year.
Stock market will continue to tank too as we head towards another recession.
Not only that, but the death rate may be even higher in the U.S. : "CDC director says some coronavirus-related deaths have been found posthumously."
"Rep. Harley Rouda asked CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield if it’s possible that some flu patients may have been misdiagnosed and actually had coronavirus.
The doctor replied that “some cases have actually been diagnosed that way in the United States today.” "
As most wildlife are hosts to numerous diseases that are transferred to ticks and mosquitoes...not too worried about contracting Coronavirus in the outdoors...
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.
Yes, I will go elk hunting at the Colorado ranch this season!!
And looking forward to it!!!

It's more a risk assessment: if you are over 50 yrs old, especially over 60 yrs old, you are at significantly higher risk of severe complications or death. Significantly higher risk vs influenza according to both the CDC and WHO. Exposure while in transit then maybe getting sick while out of state is also a factor for some.
Also, not everyone has great health insurance nor are hospitals equipped to handle this crisis.
Plus, for those of us that need to fly, there are already travel restrictions in effect, potential quarantines like those in New York and reduced flights.
The U.S. economy and oil prices are tanking. There will be major layoffs and JOB CUTS have already started in the travel and oil business. Some people work for a living and can't afford this risk nor uncertainty.
Haven’t even gave it a thought. Matter of fact after the ol old lady showed me round trip air fare to Hawaii last night I’m trying to figure out how to get the time off to roll back down there right directly!! 😂😂😂

I'm going moose hunting in Newfoundland. I figure I have a better chance of getting hit in the dome by a meteor than getting the COVID thing. Canadian Lefty has some sort of agenda with this subject. He's all over the raghead forum spreading the same "news" and prophecies. Take him with a grain of salt would be my advice.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
I am in one of the outbreak clusters. It's not business as usual. My only agenda is to inform people of the reality of this situation and what might be coming down the pike.

I'd think it would be ~the same likely hood as catching the flu? They're passed in about the same way. It does seem like COVID is transmitted by people before they have symptoms so that would make it a good bit more likely to be caught than the flu. ....at any rate, I think it's a little higher than the meteor chance....grin...
Agreed, after more research, folks need to sit this year out for the welfare of mankind!! Montana and Idaho especially!!😂😂
