Shams: The season is suspended / Coronavirus Thread

[Gomagic44]

Was just trying to help!

Sure you can. It's more contageous than the flu. And it's an animal virus that spread to humans. No natural antibodies yaay!

Imagine the flu but no vaccine. Can't get simpler than that.

Absolutely more contagious, higher mortality, world stopping pandemic. Was trying to simplify it for those who can't get their heads around the difference between covid19 and the flu.

I think some people are just skeptics at heart to the end. I don't think it's a left or right thing. You have the flu Bros on the right and at work I have the mind control device vaccine people on the left. And I imagine that those two groups want to tear each other's throats out. Pandemics make strange bedfellows.

It's been mild so can't complain could have been worse. It's been 7 days yesterday was the worst. Still lots of headaches, body aches, fatigue, stomach aches, pink eye, not as much fever or cough anymore. I'm thinking I'm coming out of it. It's weird how it affects me, comes in waves, I'm feeling fine one moment and a few hours later I'm feeling terribe. I'll be fine though gonna isolate another week.

I haven’t scanned through this thread every day.

I wonder if people like EAS Law have updated their views on this since the early days of the outbreak?

... now that we have reached 47k deaths worldwide with projections of over 100k deaths in the United States when it is all said and done.

Hotel? How does that work? Do you tell the staff you have it?

[basketballRob]

Not trying to feed fear but we're over a 1000 deaths today and I fear we won't be under that number for the next two months.

I did at my last one, asked for no house keeping and stayed in 24/7. Matter of fact got an email today from that same hotel chain (Extended stay) with a "if youre unable to stay home right now you can use out kitchen" ad.

No sir, was told by Monday.

LabCorp locally does not handle covid cases and she gave me her supervisors number. I left a voicemail. I asked me CEO where I need to go.

Respectfully I am running out of patience. If my lungs don't fully recover I need this test result for future care and expenses that I will incur.

The lady at LabCorp had on less PPE than I did. Your barking up the wrong tree. I went straight there and straight home. I wore gloves and contaminated no surfaces.

Update: I am better. I've kissed my daughter and hugged my wife again. Im going to take a shower. I'm going to put on my suit I bought for my wedding, as it's the most respectable looking clothes I have. And then I'm driving 15 minutes to my sample and whoever has it is going to give me answers or I am going to escalate this. I'm not violent but I may end up being arrested for causing a scene.

I mean I'm going to show them how funny this is Dalic. Wish me luck.

You should still be under quarantine until otherwise cleared. You could potentially still be contagious.

Sent from my HD1900 using RealGM mobile app

I was actually referring to the possibility that you could spread it to your family members by hugging and kissing them. I understand your need to know whether or not you have or have had it for the purposes of getting back to work, but I would still be quarantining myself from those I care about. There is significant evidence to suggest that this virus can still be spread for some period of time after a patient has recovered from their symptoms. The danger of this virus is amplified by how contagious it is and it is so contagious because it can be spread by individuals that aren't, or don't appear to be, very sick.

[Xatticus]

Is it funny that I have no results yet?

Lol at this thread. Definitely just gonna come in here for nymets1 update posts. Keep up the good work!

I assume he is referring to a select few idiots spewing political nonsense.

No. He is referring to a few individuals that are being critical about Trump's failure to act because anything that can be construed as a criticism of Trump is perceived as a personal attack on him (the poster in question). That's a highly irrational response. It's akin to a victim of spousal abuse defending her husband when the police show up.

Our government has failed us. If it bothers you that someone is pointing this out... get over it.

[Xatticus]

I have an essential job so I'm in the public and people laugh at me if I'm wearing a mask. Some feel they can just invade my space like we don't have a pandemic going on.

These are the people that think people taking it seriously are idiots. For example when i posted the link of the model the White House uses and shows Florida having 7000 deaths by August 4th, they feel I'm fear mongering.

I understand if someone wears a mask indoors, but it's totally unneccessary to wear a mask if your outdoors in the wide open.

It's not unnecessary. It is impractical. We do not have the masks that we need. If everyone was wearing masks and we continued to practice social distancing, we would see less spread of the virus. The problem is that not every situation carries the same risk and we do not have the masks needed to accomplish this. We have medical professionals on the front lines that can't get what they need, so we have to try to direct resources to where they are needed until we have an abundance of what we need, but that seems like an unrealistic goal at this point. We have almost no hope of getting the testing to where it needs to be. We have almost no hope of producing the masks we need. Perhaps, at some point, we will be able to meet the demand for ventilators, but that is a long way off.

This is where we have to look at the damage done to our industrial capacity by the trade deals that have shipped countless jobs overseas for the sake of profits. In this time of need, we are incapable of saving ourselves.

I quarantined myself from my wife and child for a week in the guest room. I used a different bathroom. With respect to when it's safe to kiss and hold your family...I feel that up to each individual. I have pretty much fully recovered and I did not pose a risk. I don't cough anymore unless I push my lungs to their extent.

Again it's a personal choice. I made an earnest effort. It was a choice my wife and I agreed on.

I'll stop walking on egg shells too.

This administration completely failed this country. I voted for Trump and I am sorry. It's bitten me in the ass more than most. I got a divorce the next year and fell in love with a Venezuelan. Going through the immigration process and navigating Wic while getting mixed messages about being allowed to take state money from the feds while simultaneously being told by the health department it's a legal mandate to take Wic for your unborn child. The whole thing has been a real humbler for me.

Mitt wouldn't have done us like this. John would have done better, Obama would have done better. **** Hillary couldn't have **** the bed this bad. It's an utter disaster. Watching these pressers where someone asks "there's an upsurge in domestic violence" and the president of the United States replies excitedly "MEXICAN VIOLENCE!" is just disgusting.

The president should be crucified for this. It's absolutely inexcusable that but a month ago he was talking about how "it's just 5 cases, it'll go down to 0 and be a beautiful thing". It doesn't matter what letter is before his name. It matters that we elected this man and he is failing us in a supreme manner. If there is no legal recourse for his ineptitude our republic is dead.

My friend came to NYC like 3 weeks ago and I'm kind of glad I didn't meet up with them. I had a sinking feeling things were way worse than it seemed (NY had cases at the time, but obviously wasn't the EPICENTER then). Since then, I've only been out of the house a few times to get groceries. I take care of my 82 year old grandfather so I'm trying to be extra cautious.

5. Florida still has 0 recoveries

With the shortage on ventilators, masks, gloves and other PPE, at least we got our body bag order in. The government just ordered 100,000. That just made it real.
