Eli Lilly Co. In Indianapolis has told employees. Stay home

Starting tomorrow. Work from home. So for anyone who still thinks this is a hoax, a company that hires microbiologists and epidemiologists out the wah-zoo has just told them to stay home.

In other news from Indianapolis, the second confirmed case is someone who attended a BioGen Conference in Boston recently.

The first confirmed case was a man who attended a "business conference IN BOSTON" recently.

Things that make you go hmmmm ?

Take this seriously, and our government is telling us it is contained and have no plans. We might be screwed.

Approximately 26 employees at Biogen, 23 of whom live in-state, have now tested positive for the coronavirus COVID-19 after attending a company meeting late last month — including one employee who then attended another biotech conference elsewhere in Boston the following week that was attended by hundreds.

That's probably Trump's strategy so keep us all in the dark.
