Watch Trump actually get involved, get Honkus on the plane, and then invite him to the SOTU.


How awesome would it be if that actually happened and Trump is the one giving a shout out to the OT?

We have another Chronovirus info thread, perhaps we should leave anything conflicting with the CCP official story line in that thread. The last thing he needs is getting access to this site blocked and/or harassment from the authorities.

Makes sense, sorta. Although I’m not sure what the official storyline is? Thought with less clutter, he’d be able to quickly find the info here. I guess it doesn’t matter either way, if they find this site, I’m sure they’ll look at more than just this thread - and all the conflicting info.

Have you read through the other thread? It is cluttered with constant bickering and off topic bullshite for 2-3 pages between useful info - followed by 3-4 pages of arguing....rinse repeat. Tiresome to monitor. It took Honkus 3-4 posts initially before anyone even acknowledged him there.

A fresh thread containing news info with only cited sources would probably be most helpful, although I’m not sure the bickering bullshite wouldn’t still flow into there.

I wish a GODDAMN mod would sticky these 2 threads.

I stopped reading through that thread when people were arguing over the reliability of rumors...a day after they had been proven or debunked. Honkus is so close that I'd hate for someone here to say the wrong thing and complicate it even more.

Yeah, the mods not stickying this thread is ridiculous while they sticky the Kobe one (which belongs as a sticky on the More Sports or Pelicans board.)

Here I am worrying about my flight from India back to the US next week and here you are Honkus with much bigger fish to fry.

Hope you and your family make it back home safe and sound. The positivity you have maintained in this thread in midst of this situation you are in is simply

The OT should start a GFM to help out and/or if not completely needed to throw his family/kids a big welcome home party. I can't even begin to imagine the vibes his kids are picking up from parents/ grandparents/community.

Honkus my prayers are with you and your extended family. Get your arse back over here safely as one of the few who can truly appreciate the little things we Americans take for granted.

let's just hope this thing stays semi contained over the next week to ten days and keep fingers crossed. Heck, forget keeping it contained, I wish they take it a step further and figure out a remedy for it.

Global travel will become a huge arse clusterfruck if things don't change.

ETA: Am also visiting family with some family with me with rest of the family back in BR. Yea go figure

Do you have documentation from the state dept? I’d imagine if you get stopped along the way, that would suffice.

The state department was less than helpful. The lady, who had a heavy Indian accent so I dont even think is american, rushed me off the phone and was basically like take it or leave it, we have a long list of people who want these spots.

She said we could show then the email.. the email.is in English and they refused to provide a mandarin version.

My wife is talking to local government officials and they told her theres a good chance our cousin wont be able to get back.

My wife wont go unless we get that assurance. Ugh

I would print that email or letter in Chinese. You will probably get stopped and need to have a reason to be moving. Or ask for an official letter from the state department to print.

What type of masks did you get? And how are you going to protect the infant?

You need to take control. Tell her y’all are leaving. If you don’t get on that plane there is no telling how long you could be there.

Take the car yourselves and leave it in Wuhan. Someone can get it later when this all dies down.

Nightmare. That’s jacked. If it’s any consolation, I’ve read where some gas stations are shut down and some aren’t. They were also discussing grocery stores saying that most gov owned stores were able to restock immediately, and a few weren’t. It’s hard to decide what to believe. I feel for ya.

Are you able to get any actual news other than from TD?

Yea they don’t want the cousin to go to Wuhan and bring the virus back to the city you are at. I understand that.

Y’all are on your own. Time to ditch the car in Wuhan. The OT will buy them another Prius
