for those who heard about the dog having a mild case of it? It seems the dog's human transmitted to him : https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202003/04/P2020030400658.htm?fontSize=1
Thanks for that! For me it's not Mexico (North of Cancun - Playa Mujeres) that scares me, it's the plane ride from JFK. I have until March 23rd to decide if we are going. If it surfaces in the Cancun area then it's a no.
FYI: I called Delta airlines and asked them what their plan is for disinfecting airplanes. They only disinfect every flight in and out of the US - NOT within the US. That scared me.
I had a dream this morning and it wasn't really good news but I am going to post it and make of it what you will...
In the dream I was a different woman than who I am in real life. I was trying to get comfortable in a place that seemed rather rudimentary. I had some dirty sheets to wash and I could only find a sink that was too small to wash them in. There was no washing machine. I was not able to wash the sheets so I piled them in a spot. Then there was a large spider in the bedroom with very distinctive blue markings on a dark greyish body. The design on the spider was sort of like a jaggedy line or almost like a "w" on the top of its middle section. The spider didn't look natural it looked spookily perfect...it reminds me of the CGI creatures in the movies now--how perfect they look and crisp and clear in every detail. I went to the other room to get a spray can, but when I come back into the room I roll the can clumsily at the spider and it easily skitters away and hides. It has a very intimidating look. I don't know why I fail to use the can of poison properly. I clumsily try again to knock the spider flat with the side of the can like an idiot and it easily moves aside and even leaves the room.
I go into the other room and I seem to have a woman roommate who at the same time has been fighting a mouse. She tries to step on the mouse and is successful in pinning it under her foot. I feel a sense of relief, because I assume she will kill the mouse with her foot. She puts pressure on the mouse with her foot but it is able to squirm out from under her foot and as it runs a way it gets larger, like a rat. It runs into the other room and as we peek at it it seems even more large like a very small cuter ermine type animal but the look on it's face isn't cute. The look on its face is super aggressive and angry. I don't know what an angry ermine looks like but this dream animal almost comically looks very human-like in the expression on its face.
I wake up. I think, "Oh great, what is this dream about!?" I mulled over it for a few hours. Yesterday I heard through the news that the Chinese scientists have determined there are two strains of the coronavirus that are circulating in China, one is more deadly than the other. Of course that made me wonder what would happen with the two strains, especially here in the US where I live. I live in Georgia and recently two people who live in Fulton County tested positive for the virus. That is around seventy miles from where I live. In the article they had said the scientists determined that it was easier to control the more deadly strain because it makes people sick enough to need hospitalization where they will be properly quarantined. They determined that over time the original more deadly virus had decreased in prevalence in China due to the people needing a hospital which forces them into quarantine in the hospital.
I only have my first intuitions about this dream and so far all I can say is it feels to me like my guides are telling me that the US attempts to control either virus strain won't work out very well. It seems to me like the spider is the original virus from Wuhan--hence the "w" shape on it. The article I read yesterday said that the original virus is the more deadly one. The mouse which morphs into the larger creature is the milder viral strain. The woman trying to step on the mouse is trying to pin it down and then kill it. I take this to mean the attempts to quarantine it will fail--in fact the milder strain will grow to become more prevalent. The woman who I am playing the part of in the dream has an effective weapon but can't use it effectively or properly. This is some other control measures perhaps that will not be as effective due to mishandling or not properly carrying them out. I am not sure what these control measures are...it may just mean that government response in this case will not be effective due to some kind of stupidity or reluctance on the part of the government officials. The first part about the dirty sheets and no washing machine may be about the lack of testing from the CDC. Some of the test kits were defective at first. By the time they ramp up test production and test more people I feel it is not as useful. This is my guess--but a lack of a washing machine suggests a lack of something and all I can think of right now is that they are not testing enough people.
Sorry to post this if it upsets anyone. We need to do our best with the personal hygiene and other measures. We can't count on our government being effective with this situation here in the US if I am interpreting my dream correctly. I think people can decide what to do to keep themselves safe if they stay calm and plan ahead. I hope my dream is wrong and perhaps it is more about Georgia than the whole US, I can't be sure but I don't really trust the Trump administration to keep people in the US safe...
Seriously? Crap!
It is mutating.
Thank you @starpath for pointing this out in the dream thread.
As healthcare officials fight to stem the outbreak of coronavirus, researchers in China say preliminary research shows that COVID-19 is mutating and there are at least two types of the virus now.
One of those, the more aggressive strain, has infected 70% of the people tested, while a less aggressive strain was linked to the rest, according to doctors at Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai.

@lovendures I find hope in the fact that it has lost some "aggression" through mutation.
I add my voice to the wondering if the virus has been around for a while, explaining why so many of us flu-vaccinated adults were ill with a rugged virus this winter.
That seems like an unsettling dream for sure and you analyzed it in a thoughtful way
Yes, it might be about the control measures not working . Maybe the washing machine not working and the sink to small mean the problem is bigger than we think. It is or might get overwhelming. The mouse got bigger too,
Thank you for posting about the virus mutating, I had not seen that info yesterday.
I am posting about that in our Coronavirus thread and here to. in case someone wants to read about it.

@billy-mike Yes, that would be good news indeed.
Regarding the flu this winter. This flu strain was supposed to be pretty bad. Did anyone get tested for the flu but have negative results for the strain that was circulating? My daughter had a bad flu, but nobody else in our family got it.
those of us that got sick at my work got tested for the flu.. it was negative and they said it was most likely just a bad cold that turned in to bronchitis for us... no one progressed to pneumonia.. but that damn cough hung on for two weeks after all other symptoms abated...this was back in November around Thanksgiving and up to Christmas. My Thanksgiving was ok..but I caught it a week after.. and was still recovering at Christmas time. My son caught it.. but it was also circulating through his work place.
Vice President Mike Pence said the United States doesn’t have enough coronavirus tests, at this point, to meet what officials expect to be the demand for them in the future.
Pence just set himself up as the fall guy with this statement. T will turn it around and say Pence how come you didn’t have enough test kit.
