yep. Ive been working for my dads company for just over a year. small business here in Phoenix. only 5 people here all week, im just doing warehouse alone, waiting for UPS, FEDEX and other deliveries. been so SLOW this week
Called my ENT doctor again, she told me I should go to her office, that it wouldn't be a problem because righty now it was empty. Turns out I have a viral infection, that's affecting my lungs and it could become pneumonia... I can't get tested because I don't have any recent travel history, and if I don't get better with the normal viral treatment she prescribed in 24 hours, I should go to a hospital to get a test of basically everything but Coronavirus, if all comes out negative, then we will know its covid. That's pretty much the only way to get diagnosed right now in this shitty country.
I'm considering self medicating with hydroxichloroquine, because honestly I don't know what else to do. Feel like I'm wasting time and this could get worse for me.

I had the same happen to me, and it's most likely allergies as it's that time of year. If you develop a fever, definitely call.
Does anyone here have any data on food handling? Like what temps actually kill the virus? Like I guess you could just nuke whatever you get and get the temp up to like 160F. I would think that would do it given other food handling temps but I dunno.
Really, really wish people would stop suggesting this. The last thing the world needs right now is poorly tested, rushed out vaccine that could cause more damage then the virus itself not just from the side effects, but from the further erosion of public trust in vaccinations. Let the scientific process do what its supposed to do.
The hope in the short term are anti-virals and other off-label treatment.
Oh really? Yeah they would definitely need a heater in them with some of these nights lately. Then again if someone is running a super high fever, might be a different story.
Went grocery shopping just fine yesterday. Shelves a little thin but had no problem finding anything. This is in Washington.
BUT, we have been low on space in my freezer for months because our company gives all employees a free thanksgiving turkey. We never made it because we didn't host.
Given the work from home nature and an upcoming weekend in isolation we are gonna be cooking that bad buy. Food for days!

Not sure if a source was posted but that poster is talking about Italy
Just found out my state senator was 1 of 8 to vote against the relief bill. Still making Nebraska proud, Ben Sasse. You piece of fucking shit.

Shows how critical the defense production act is right now.
yes, and my mistake: it is the 25th

at the University of Genova a team of experts including infectious diseases experts, complex mathematical systems experts and IT experts came up with a model that takes into account even the variable behavior of the italians defying the quarantine.
Nooo I was Just commenting that it's crazy that it's just the city. But considering the population it makes sense.
If you read the second part, it looks like they are but following a different procedure.
These are times when we really can't just be reading headlines.
But i did read it and they aren't arresting them. they are basically putting an arrest warrant on them but people can just flee somewhere else from the law.
is there a tracker for how many per city in Ontario?
Because it seems to be popping up in every single city around me. So really I just need something to watch to have a grasp on what's going on around me.
Second question. What's the next phase here? Basically stay in doors by law? How much farther than governments take this defence of this?

Don't do this. Listen to your doctor and proceed as recommended. Really, don't self-medicate in your current condition.

peak is still projected for the 24th, which is roughly a month after full lockdown
My bad, I missed a part with it myself that didn't show up when I first opened it.
Ok yeah, they ARE coming but not really... doing anything about it. (In the case of "burglary" if everyone is staying inside, at this point it would be more "home invasion", which isn't on the list...)
According to the European Commission's disinformation squad, Russia and sources close to Kreml are busy sowing misinformation about the virus in European and US circles to further their "divide and conquer" geopolitical goals. Really so frustrating to see that Russian leadership continues to behave in such a way.

This is an incredibly stupid thing to publicize, or leak if that was the case. They don't think people will read this and start stealing people's shit? Especially if it continues to get worse.
Edit: quoted wrong message. This is in response to the Philly police not arresting people for robbing people.

Your mileage may vary. In Chicago, some stores are absolutely crazy depending on the time of day while others are fully stocked and with respectful people. I've got a group chat with a few buddies up here and we all report in from our recent grocery runs.
This is something that has been on my mind as well. We are going to be a long, long way off from having a vaccine, but if current drugs can help reduce the number of people that are in need of ICUs and can help ease the burden of the health care industry, it would be an enormous positive breakthrough for combating this virus.
I feel like we should be able to sue our government for neglect. Why can't we be tested if we show slight symptoms, we're just supposed to assume that it is or isn't? It pisses me off.
So my job, which announced on Monday that we would be shut down on a paid office closing until Tuesday, sent a company wide email saying that they discovered that we fall under the category of an "essential" business and so they are going to be contacting "certain highly skilled" employees to come back to the office on Friday. Am I crazy, or is this incredibly unfair and irresponsible to ask certain people to work while others get paid to stay home? I'm going to get the call because of my position, but I think I'm going to refuse to go in until it's deemed safe enough for everybody to return. Hardly see how I could be penalized for that.
New analysis breaks down age-group risk for coronavirus — and shows millennials are not invincible
The data show that of people ages 20-44 who are infected with #coronavirus, up to one-fifth have been hospitalized, including 2%-4% who required ICU treatment.

Woke up at 5:30 with a terrible headache and then constant nausea for the next 2 hours. Managed to sleep until noon but I'm definitely not close to 100%. No fever or cough or sore throat so I think I'm dealing with another bug.
As someone going through that exact experience on multiple levels (I WFH because I can WFH unlike some employees and I go into the office periodically because of responsibilities): it sucks, but just be happy that means you are essential and have a LOT more job security than most of your coworkers.
I'm curious if the US is trying to do this too. Everyone rightfully blames russia for its disinformation campaigns but I gotta wonder if the US is doing the same thing back.
people are still being detained in the philly situation, and being served warrants for a later date. Officers will still respond
Well, if they have a limited number of tests it makes sense to prioritize people at risk or with severe symptoms so they can move quickly to the suitable treatment. A person with slight symptoms might never need treatment so it's a better use of resources to get them to isolate.
Just read this whole thing. True cost of this might be 4 Trillion based on this lasting 18 months. My god.
