Thanks. And Yours!
Wife is freaking out b/c the brother of one of the night shift sergeants at one of the jails I go to tested positive. I haven't been there since 3/12 and never see the night shift anyway, but still....
for those of you (like me) living outside urban/suburban areas.....does it feel like every day, it creeps just a little bit closer to you?
We're normally very congested, but traffic is about 15% of what it normally is. It's just an odd feeling in the cities now.
I hit one of the busiest intersections in Cambridge a couple of days ago, mid-day and I was the only vehicle at the light...it was scary lol.Comment

Sounds like our Governor is gonna put a Shelter in Place order sometime today. News says she's gonna have a press conference at 11. Wasn't planning on going anywhere anyways, but at least I'm set for a spell.“On a lonely planet spinning its way toward damnation amid

There's always the possibility they weren't aware of an underlying condition, but if not this could be worrying.

Leave it to Ever's put up a web site here that allows us to report our neighbors if they have to many people in their homes at any given time. I am sure it has all the 'good' people peeking through the curtains every time a car drives by. lol

There's always been some chance that one can wind up in bad condition even if normally healthy. It's how your body reacts. Young, fit and healthy people aren't at high risk though. The overwhelming majority of individuals who get the virus wind up with mild symptoms at worse.

You seem to have missed the qualifying 'could' i.e. nobody is panicking, but it should be a wake up call to those people that keep running around telling themselves it will be 100% fine if they get it because they're young.Originally posted by DeathKnight View Post Not sure how this is any more worrying.

It is a catch 22, we can't stay in our homes for ever but it seems so short a period of time. But looking at other countries 15 days added to what has happened already here in the US means the worst will have already been behind us. If it does not happen that way then they will know more and change their minds.Originally posted by Pr3tty F1y View Post
But if we do not get back to work some day soon there will be no jobs to go back to. No one wants that.

Speaking of which my doctor sent me the you are a high risk person letter for me to give to my employer. Not sure I want to do that other than the fact I need to protect my elderly parents I live with and care for. But I am sure my employer is going to hold this against me. They have already called me out for almost always using up most if not all my sick days every year. Which is of course why the doc sent the letter.

While this is true, 15 days of pain isn't that bad compared to becoming Italy next week. 30 days of pain isn't that bad compared to becoming Italy in 3 weeks.Originally posted by Athena View PostIt is a catch 22, we can't stay in our homes for ever but it seems so short a period of time.

Countries that have already seen a down tick are now seeing another wave of infections come back (to those who didn't get infected the first time).
This is a wake-up moment for the US.
This bailout that may or may not happen should be structured to do one thing, provide minimum quality of life to everyone so we all can shelter in place for a while. How long is enough? I'll leave that to the public health experts.
However, we do need people who will still be working providing medical care and handling the supply chain and getting resources out to people, but for those who don't need to work, they just need to survive and hunker down and weather this. People need enough to just make it through this and that's what our gov't should be focused. Big business doesn't need bailouts, they need loans, that they pay back. We need to care about the value of all people and focus on that throughout this difficult time.Comment

This is because they're a nurse, and they are in direct contact with infected, if not multiple.Originally posted by Lithurge View Post
If you get it from someone else likely it's from a surface or a single cough etc so the virus amount is there but not much.
Nurses/doctors overall get a much higher virus amount in the initial period (and after) so they tend to get sick quicker, and usually more serious condition.Fantards the scourge of the universe:Comment

15 days is not long enough to relax the lockdown. Right now it's 12 days after lockdown before cases start falling (source: Italy and China). I think you'd need another few weeks on top of that for existing cases to recover and for the health system to buffer itself. So I think one month would be about right. Won't eradicate it but would reduce it heavily.Comment

The problem is there are always going to be idiots that won't comply with a shelter in place order. They don't "see the big deal" and will just go about partying or visiting their buddies and such, all the while dangerously ignorant of the seriousness of the virus.Originally posted by nutcrackr View Post
If EVERYBODY listened and only went to places when absolutely necessary, then this whole virus could be eradicated in short order. Since that is impossible because "people", then the best we can hope for is to slow it down for awhile and ride the wave out."Ok to lose to opponent, must not lose to fear!"

New job just got put on hold because they’re essentially in a hiring freeze due to COVID-19. Motherfker. I’d rather get the virus than stay at this place, but I have a feeling most companies aren’t going to be doing a lot of hiring when everything is shut down.Originally posted by Ozziebloke
