The Stranglers' cheery Don't Bring Harry has no sooner finished playing than boom, WHO Chief Tedros tells us that Kung Flu's a pandemic.
"WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction"-@DrTedros #COVID19— World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) March 11, 2020
Day late and a dollar short? Perhaps, but let's pray Italy's not the canary in the viral coalmine. Closer to home, 6 people in the DFW metrosprawl have caught the virus, including an Episcopalian priest figure, Dr. Robert Pace, who caught the ChiCom superbug at a conference in Kentucky for wealthy churches.
That in mind, how long before the Wuhan Virus barrels down I35 to Hill County, Waco and beyond? Hopefully never, but I'd give it about a week. In the meanwhile, there's been a run on bleach and "loo roll" at the local Walmart. Should've bought shares but didn't, foolishly.
You can catch up on the latest Kung Flu news over at Zero, if you're in the mood.
Cheers,
LSP
