Coronavirus COVID-19 *Global Health Emergency* #11

[K.jill]

Remember why we are all here

If you think another poster is a troll or they push your buttons you can ignore them.

We need a Corovirus music playlist ( I am a musical person)

Right now, in the midst of all this:

BTO: You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet

( And I am listening to the Beach Boys Fifty Big Ones to restore my composure: I highly recommend California Girls, Don't Worry Baby , and their very best; Sail on Sail on Surfer)

Yeah, there seems to be a few “recurring themes” going on here “in my head”, Twilight Zone, Airplane, Wizard of Oz...Pink Floyd surely is coming next.

Ok back to business.

Man, again, the faster these threads move, means the more the spread. I’m still in the last thread. Sigh.

I don’t want to speed-read though and miss important facts or compromise my solid foundation up to this point. As anxious as I am to be in the present, I’m going back...The thing that sucks is when you’re in a prior thread it’s hard to quote for reference. I took some screenshot notes though.

Thanks for keeping all the information coming.

Stay with it, mooooogarita..... We get to the part about our big future Survival Party plans at your place before too long................LOL !.....Runawaaaay !....moo

Have an app't to see my oncologist Thursday. At a hospital. In a city with 20 cases. Sigh. If it was any other app't I would probably cancel but it's kinda important. At least I can ask him how paranoid he thinks I should be, as an immuno-compromised person.

 

[LadyL]

NEW: 54 public health labs have #COVID19 testing as of today. 2,500 kits from Integrated DNA Technologies should be available by this weekend - explaining FDA's 1 million number.
But the U.S. ability to actually run large number of tests isn't there yet: Widespread coronavirus testing could still be weeks away

Just wanted to thank you for posting all the updates!

 

[margarita25]

That is a good idea, I will call tomorrow morning. Thank you.

(If you need any more help, send me a message. I can help find pharmacies in your area or whatever you need.)

LadyL - get a big bunch of KLeenex or even paper towels

Have one in your pocket at all times. Always have one when you touch something - the bus door, the clinic door, the restroom door, the doctor's office

And bring your own pen and don't use someone else's

You have strength and you are in charge. And don't be shy about asking your oncologist for simple masks to wear. I predict it will become chic in about a week

 

[What if...]

USA is quickly rising up the chart, map becomes more interesting by the day as the entire map turns red.

Scary to think about what it’s going to look like 5 weeks from now...

My part-time assistant just told me she’s available tomorrow if I need her. “But I warn u I do hv a cold. Sneezing kleenex kind.”

Oh hell no!!

 

[margarita25]

Remember:

1. There is a report button.

2. Scroll and roll.

3. The ignore button is your friend.

Serious business here. No time. This is life and death stuff, literally.

thanks yeah I usually avoid touching handles but the pen idea I hadn't thought of! I have lots of masks from chemo days and they always have supplies on hand for anyone to grab at the clinic

thank you

ETA2: This reminds me, omg:

I have to point out that the red on the map represents ~.001 percent of the world's population. So the entire map turning red is, imo, beyond a gross misrepresentation of the issue and has to be deliberate, imo

John Hopkins University is behind it - perhaps they should be more cautious with their data analysis visualization.

I don't mean to make light of a scary situation, but i can't help myself... wow...

At my desk today at work, it was astonishing the number of times I had to reach for a pen, not knowing who else had touched it

And I do agree about getting one of those stylus things to use on a keypad that other people touch ( like a grocery store or a gas pump)

Somehow the CDC page is *massively* behind news reports on CDC cases. It still lists 6 fatalities, even though we know there are at least 9.

I agree. If doubling happened every few days to go from 4400 to 93,000, I suppose we can expect several hundred thousand in a couple of weeks. I'm thinking that by March 17, it will be taken far more seriously in Europe and NA.
