She was just observing. Old Charlie was born in 1942, and the out-laws are older.

I have seen a meme describing one of the best methods to avoid Coronavirus as "wash your hands as if you have just greeted Lula da Silva". But anyway, I don't really believe there's a reason for panic due to the Coronavirus, as I didn't believe either when the H1N1 outbreak happened in 2009.

The charter school company for which I work extended their spring break at least a week. There are at least 34 districts in Arizona that have closed.

Well, 'reefer bad' doesn't work.
Dr. John Campbell, who I've been following, made an appearance on Fox News morning show.
The other Presidential candidate talks to 'a jag-off comedian in his garage':

From what I've heard, mortality rate is more like 1%, which is still 10x greater than the flu. People that have it don't even know because we're used to getting sick and just getting over it. Testing is available even if not analysed locally. We've been outsourcing labs for a long time.

The president said we'll have a vaccine in a few months, though. Maybe it's going to be made up of those "thoughts and prayers" that they claim are the most effective thing to use against mass shootings.

I don't know what your point is here. Politicians always use tragedy as a way to get sheeple to act out of emotion rather than reason because they are slimy and corrupt, and we're (collectively) irrational.
Mass shootings represent among the lowest causes of death in the US. Ladders falls kill way more. Maybe we need background checks on ladders purchases... I kid, and I'm for requiring a safety certification for gun ownership (like a drivers license), but we've got to keep things in perspective, which hardly anyone does.
Not saying Corona virus is something to be dismissed, because we still don't know the full potential for harm it may hold, but personally I'm not going to worry until it crosses some threshold, roughly more deadly than the flu.

The data shows the mortality rate is way higher than 1%.
