We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I'm really mindful of it as I've seen people cough on food shelves, not on purpose mind and you never know if the shop worker has contaminated hands or coughs or sneezes on to packaging.
I wear gloves to the shop and back home I wash some items and carefully open other things and wash my hands properly after. Sometimes leave things untouched for 3 days. You can use two pairs of scissors to open packaging.
At one shop I bought a bottle of water and washed it with soap and water at home.
Same with post through the door, I treat it as infected.
President Duterte is already asking for special powers. One of powers is to privatize businesses in response to private hospitals centralizing (good) covid patients to specific hospitals. Those hospitals turned out to be under equipped and under staffed public hospitals. Given his track record this won't be used responsibly.
A pathologist has clarified the types of testing in this twitter thread:
Seems like the rapid test is only for those with symptoms. The test for asymptomatic carriers takes more time since its basically genetic testing. There is currently a call for mass testing since our politicians are getting themselves tested before patients with symptoms. Patients have died before they knew they were positive for Covid. Its assumed that the politicians got in front of the line ahead of the patients that died. People are mad.
Don't let this happen to you guys.

I think we forget that lots of parts of the USA are not densely populated at all. If you are not sick and don't live in a densly populated area it's probably safe to walk unless the trees are now spreading Corona.
Sure maybe not the case walking out of your apt. in Manhattan or deciding to go to the most popular park in town.

Yup. Unless we are fucking magicians, which I doubt, it shows that the death rate is probably lower than expected and the count of people infected particularly in Italy and Spain is much higher than suspected. Which... should be good news because it could mean most countries peak earlier.
I know GM is making ventilators idk how truthful the rest is
German politician Karl Lauterbach, who is also a doctor just tweeted this:
He says he talked to US colleagues today who said the situation is completely out of control. Hospitals lack money, tests and personnel.

This thing has been a bitch to get over. Been 10 days since symptoms came on and I'm just getting over this. Still have the occasional chest pain but it's not consistent like it was. Still have a cough but it's not consistent. Been really tired throughout this too, which I saw Tom Hanks was experiencing as well.
Either I had corona or the worst cast of bronchitis ever. Shit sucks.

yup this testing for antibodies, can cause false negatives if it is too early in the incubation period
I was too poor to go on spring break when I was in college, I was barely surviving. So those spoiled rich kids can cry me a river, I bet they didn't even pay for their trips.
according to some data released in italy yesterday, pre-existing health conditions seem to be the more determining factor with this virus, of course most old people will have some kind of health issues, but as of now less than 1% of people who died in italy by corona virus was completely healthy before, and around 10% were less than 60 years old.
although it's entirely possible that the data is unreliable since thousands of people are still in hospitals right now, and it might be that younger people just last longer before complications ensue

Wonder if the Netherlands are getting any stricter measures this week. Too many people still ignoring the 1,5m distance. Heard Merkel is going to announce that it'll be forbidden to gather in groups more then 2-3.
You know things are fucked when the Terminator feels like people are putting themselves in too much danger.
The worst part is these fuckers will just get a minor cold or even no symptoms and think the whole thing was overblown. Meanwhile they'll seriously harm or kill anyone older/with pre-existing conditions that they run into.
White supremacists discussed using the coronavirus as a bioweapon, explosive internal document reveals
They suggested leaving "saliva on door handles" at FBI offices, spitting on elevator buttons, and spreading the virus in "nonwhite neighborhoods."

"Yeah bro I got mad drunk on Miami Beach. Sure, grandma had to die for it to happen, but it was totes worth it, bro."

:( what the
I agree with him and it's good he's conveying this message. That said, it's easier to stay at home when you have a jacuzzi :)
Yeah, I am afraid they won't even be going back in the fall.
Yeah, there was just a "rally" in the county where I grew up in Alabama. There were only, like, 4 members of the KKK that showed up. Now I'm concerned they had the infected making their way through the counter protestors...
If it hasn't already most states are prolly going to extend their closure. Oregon went pretty quick from reopening end of March to end of April. While we're not looking forward to having our 6yrold cooped up in the house for so long what can you do. Least we're spread out enough that walks and bike rides are a nonissue.
Get the hell out with this Trumpian downplaying. The virus can stay active in the air for hours; social distancing helps but it's not a magic solution. Simply going for a walk and breathing the air that someone infected has breathed can get you infected as well.
What the hell is causing people not to understand how contagious this virus is?
Seriously. They're just going for 2 weeks as a deadline, but they will keep extending that on and on.
Cuomo's daily briefings are giving me some semblance of hope from leadership. Good on NY for really going ham on testing – as much as they could afford to.
It's weird to think of the level at which young lives are being put on hold right now. Are we going to have a year with no graduates? Is everyone going to be held back a grade?
well science still doesn't know if the virus can be transmitted this way since we have no idea what the necessary dose to start the infectuion is.
That was all done in a lab with stable conditions.
It also says that this is no proof that the virus has been transmitted that way in real life conditions.
According to experts, it's not dangerous to go out and take walk as long as the necessary distance is kept and crowded places avoided.
you should also take a moment to understand what you are posting, because it's a laboratory scenario and not real world.
You can get yourself all riled up, but if you are going to tell other people the dangers of leaving their house, start with something better
A way to win an argument is call everything you disagree with Trumpian.
Here in Saskatchewan when the provincial government announced the indefinite closure of schools they announced that all students will pass to the next level immediately with their current grades as their final grades I have a daughter in grade 9. It's crazy there's been no formal plan for tele education or anything. Luckily all her grades were in the high 90s but I've been just giving her different work to work on in the evenings.
This whole situation is so unprecedented I can't even begin to imagine what the long-term fallout will be
