Two of the three are can work from home the other is a principle in the company. I have been working from home since last Wednesday. Daughter does not go back to school till May.

They closed those Monday- finally. Loads of people complaining about the lack of testing but they aren’t even taking social distancing seriously. Stay away from people it is pretty simple. NYC has seen same and so is trying an approach of blocking off streets and turning them into pedestrian ways to give folks the room to spread out. Traffic has been light to non-existent so worth a shot. Also saw yesterday where some grocery stores have taped stripes on their floors that are 6' apart to remind customers and show what spacing looks like.

Yes we have the "X" on the floor six feet from the register and the plexiglass covering the cashiers. I'm wearing gloves at all places- I have a 4 month old at home can't take chances.

D Bone Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Serious question: What happens when the world decides to get back to normal because we closed off the planet long enough, and everyone must be virus free by now..... but whoops - we missed one. Here we go again? Hell no D you dumbass, it would be totally different a second time because....? D, you're stupid, we won't miss one because we are just that good? D, you're an idiot, what we would do then is.....................................................?? Someone help this guy understand it all, and how this right here, right now completely and totally differs from the 2017 -2018 flu season where we lost 61,099 lives in the USA alone https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm and not one of us even batted an eye. No media links please, as I wouldn't trust a single "journalist" if he or she told me I was on fire, even though I smelled something delicious. I seriously can't wrap my head around this overreaction, and I'm beginning to think that I need to look for Morpheus and ask him for that red pill.

Tour2ma Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 lol... sorry... Sometimes I just gotta be me. Well actually all the time... cause who else would want to be? But i digress... again... DB... Setting aside any treatment or prevention drugs, which obviously change the outlook, here's how it could be different. That guy we miss... if he becomes symptomatic we can react quickly. If he goes to hospital, he'll be ID'd... if he calls in sick with a fever/flu... his work can say "hmmmm" call local health officials and make them aware. Knock knock.... who is there? Test kit.. It's going to be a while even for we short-attention span 'Mericans before we forget the lessons we are learning here... at least for all those who actually learning. ID early... isolate early... ID contacts early... test test test early... quarantine early... publicize the case early... all leads to nip it early... The Covid test infrastructure that is still building will be with us for a while. Hope I helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who still insists on throwing weekly poker games at his house, where everyone crowds into a 10x10 room around a table. I quit going after Dewine shut down all restaurants and bars, but the games still go on. They played last night. Another friend of mine, in the group text for the poker games, will send a link regarding coronavirus every time a new game is talked about. Some people just don't care.

Tour2ma Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Yup... but marry the Tectonix migration tracking to the following US City Hot Spot Plot and maybe they will. https://www.axios.com/americas-coronavirus-cities-outbreak-5f22e933-42f1-464e-a68d-5f8ee0923fda.html Scroll down a little. Cursor on a dot should bring up corresponding City/Area name and current counts. There are a few Ohio cities that have low case counts, but high rates of increasing cases including Columbus and Toledo. CLE is the dot to the left of DC... there are worse dot placements. Pittsburgh is the dot just below St. Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Last couple links... I posted them a while ago "elsewhere"... ... but for those who don't venture into the Browns Board netherworld that is otherwise known as the Political section... https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html Above page and map are from the John Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center. If you click on any of the countries listed on the left hand side of the map, then the data and the plot on the right hand side swap to that country's data. Click on the "Admin" bar below the country list and for some selected countries state/province data is shown. https://www.ft.com/coronavirus-latest Financial Times Global Graph... Pretty straightforward... more than a little scary... Graph shows rates of rise for all countries reporting cases. https://healthweather.us/ Kinsa is a maker of digital thermometers that upload your data thru an app on your smart phone to their site. A week or so ago they launched a map showing the nationwide data. They actually held up its release for a week because the data it was showing was predicting majot outbreaks in and around NYC and across Florida. At the time both areas had fairly low case counts... and then they did. Kinsa has an algorithm that scrubs historical cold and flu trends from the data to produce its "Atypical" fever map. You can select the Atypical mode by clicking on it in the upper, right corner of the map. You have to scroll down to see the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icecube Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 None of the famous who "got it" have become sick. Correction: Tony Boselli needed hospitalized and he said he was really sick, like near death. He said he can't see anyone surviving that was old and/or with precondition lung illness. But is wife experienced almost no ailments, who also tested positive. Tony has now been discharged and seems over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been since March 15th. Some people like me started the quarantine 4-5 days earlier. Spain may end up being the most damaged country in the world if we don't stop the trend, thanks to a very old population and stupid politicians. Health masks and ventilators coming to our country (and already paid) have been confiscated in Turkey and USA, which doesn't help the matter either.
