On a side note i was in the auto parts store and the guys said there were lots of people in today looking for masks and they were all out. But so is everyone else now

I hit 3 yesterday and a hardware store.
2 auto parts stores sold out
1 napa had really high end single use n95 masks for like $8ea. silicone seals on the edges etc. i bought the last 2.

Went to howard brothers and they had about 5 similar single n95 masks at $9/ea. again these were high end, its not like they are gouging, they prob cost the exact amount 2 months ago.
 
As I mentioned early on, look at what governments are doing, not what they are saying. China is absolutely spazzing out over this. Yet every influenza outbreak in the last several decades has started there. Why no reaction on the others?

This is what bothers me. For China, a country I think cares very little about their people, to quarantine/severe travel restrict half a BILLION people and crush their economy(at least near term) seems to say it's bigger than flu by a lot.
