I'll be okay (assuming this only lasts about a month or so), but I do worry about so many of those people, and wondering how they'll deal with it. The impact of this is going to be absolutely huge. I anticipate this to be a watershed event like 9/11, forcing change to so many things in the aftermath.

FYI, depends on the current spread in U.S. (i.e. unknown) and multiple other factors, but two different infectious disease specialist (one US and one Chinese) have estimated U.S. contagion will likely run till June.

My two vaporesso Revenger Mini 85W mods are out for delivery from EightVape today (Saturday). They were ordered on Thursday. I'm impressed!

Now we'll see how long it takes for my two Pico 21700's to get here from VapeSourcing's Hong Kong warehouse. I probably won't open the China boxes for a couple of weeks. I'm thinking that a session with a heat blower wouldn't be overkill.
That's funny - your post made me check tracking, and my Armour Pro was in my mailbox.
I guess it's not too bad, with a black tank. I'd have a harder time misplacing this than my Vladdin pod, anyway.

I really like the size, shape, and firing function. Like my P80, but built much better. It's also only my second mod that takes 2x700 batteries, too. Helluva bargain for $10.99. Now I wish I'd have bought more.

Yes, I've seen the estimates. But - at this point, like you said, they're very broad and assumptive estimates.

And how long the contagion lasts probably has less impact than the contraction/recovery curves and advances in treatment. That will determine how long people will be out of work.

People may think there's overreaction here (maybe me too, to a degree). But this is a massive response, unlike any we've ever seen, and it really should blunt the spread in the US in relatively short order.

Vapemail!

3avape has been delivering pretty fast for me. This time, a couple of pods and RDAs.

But if my mail carrier reads the customs forms, he's surely wondering why I keep ordering automatic faucets, faucet diverters and bluetooth speakers.
How many bluetooth speaker do you need? LOL!

There is a Very Strong Correlation between Ambient Temperatures and Coronavirus Infection Rates.

People just don't get much Flu when Summer comes.

Still TBD for the novel coronavirus; a virus with its own characteristics. Heard one infectious disease expert say it would be a mistake to pin hope on warmer weather. Fingers crossed however.

Everything New is TBD.

But the fact that there is a "Corona" in the name, designates that it is a Member of a Family of Viruses. And that Family of Viruses has a track record of Decline when the weather gets Warmer.

Maybe this one is an Outlier? Won't know until June or so.

Nice mod! I would have picked up a couple for that price. I've been shopping for reputable mods half price and found a few around $20 or so. Bright colors are back in these days for some reason. Reminds me of the 60s and early 70s when we wore bell bottoms and Neon Neru shirts. :)

True that...circa 1970, something like this was my dream car. Guess I shouldn't complain about a mod that looks like this.

'70 T/A Challenger is definitely a dream car.
Good friend of mine had one kinda like this, same blue. Beautiful white interior, less the side stripe and luggage rack, and different wheels. One of the most gorgeous cars ever.

I drove used cars until I was about 23. I migrated from a Studebaker Lark to a '56 Chevy to a '65 Mustang Fastback in my teen years. Later on, I owned a '67 442, followed by a '71 Firebird Formula 400 (best of all I owned up to that point). Once I was anchored into a career position I bought a new Datsun 280ZX T-Top. That was a great car. No muscle, but it was a road machine!

Well, now that I've derailed the thread, here's one more for good measure (then I'll get back on track). '86 300ZX, my first new car ever. Fun to drive, but short lived....had to sell it in a couple of years when kids came along.

West Virginia only state with no case (c)

guys, who's from WV? What's your secret? :rolleyes:

ps
One of the comments was suggesting that WV is so boring that even coronavirus is avoiding it.
In case you haven't heard (the song), West Virginia IS almost heaven.

Who could resist a clothing optional convention of hard core and amateur cavers?

It IS a hell of a lot of fun.
