Since this is an old-timers thread, does anyone here remember a not-to-be-named, since 'baned' poster who used to do very accurate predictions? He was here for years and had something of a following. He called this respiratory crisis in advance -- I don't have his threads archived, and the master thread was deleted when he was baned... but he said a severe respiratory illness coming from the East (if I recall correctly.) I think we were mostly thinking East Coast, but this appears to fit.
