Glad I'm in another country. The last scare I remember, still living there, was people buying up duct tape and visquene to protect themselves from
radioactive fallout or some such. I WILL pay more attention though, to the developing story. At places other than this thread, I guess.

And I will pick up some hand sanitizer. It's good to have that around anyway, where I live. So, not such a big change.
And, since @MoAlpha made reference to keeping his hands away from his face, my hands are finding reasons to go there. Thanks, Mo

How does this compare to the mortality rate of the regular seasonal flu we see here in the USA?

I would have to look it up but would guestimate influenza mortality is much lower, maybe 0.1%, so this is a bigger deal but nowhere near as high as with SARS or Ebola etc.

abshipp Nice pics.
We were very lucky to have overcast skies yesterday
Forgot one of my favorites:
For those interested, camera was a Canon EOS-M with an EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. Running in auto mode because neither my wife nor I really know much about cameras
Takes nice photos, though.

These days wearing a surgical mask would be more frightening. Periodically splash water on your face, so it look's like you're sweating. And throw random coughing fits.

Just realized that I will be working in my center city office and will probably be the only one there.

Thanks for the well-wishes, all.
My wife and I spent Sunday and Monday in Milwaukee. Saw a concert on Sunday night, and then had a nice lunch Monday and visited the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. Really neat place consisting of three conoidal domes, each with different flora and fauna. Really wonderful place to visit.
Here's a few pictures for your enjoyment:
