First death in the US was in the Seattle area where I live. People are already panicking - stores running out of things like toilet paper and basic supplies. Apparently, Costco was a nightmare yesterday.

I think, more importantly - there is no link to the guy who died and travel with China. To me, it points that the virus is already “out there” and, in most cases, it’s pretty mild. I, myself, was sick last week and had most of the symptoms but you only know if you get...

I'll start it off, I ordered in my new all mountain/freeride bike yesterday. 2009 Giant Reign X2. 6.7" of travel in the rear & 160mm of travel in the forks.

I cannot wait to hit up Wentworth with this. Maybe a trip to Halifax to for the Whopper Dropper

Mine:

1. Lose ~35 lbs. I knew I'd been gaining some weight, partly due to being injured and unable to run lately, but mostly due to a bad diet and too much beer since moving to Seattle. Taking a pro-active stance on that one starting yesterday - re-logged into myfitnesspal, and underway with that and a better fitness regime.

2. Running. I have 2 goals here: a) Run a 1/2 marathon again. I got away from running...

I move to the States in about 2 weeks so I'm paying more and more attention. Figured I'd start a thread for most of us to post reasonable arguments about the state of things and the Stang clan to post up their ill-informed rhetoric.

Horrible options - Scheer looks like a mini-Trump. Trudeau has stuck his foot in it enough times that he may have screwed himself over. I don't know much about Singh. A lot of folks I know are singing the praises of Elizabeth May but even she has baggage.
