Placer County having a press conference right now.
Snipped. I took that to mean the PUBLIC is safer with the kids in school, rather than them carrying the virus to public places like malls.\
Children still going to school for now because their risk has been very low so far and they tend to wander in the public when they are out of school. Basically they are safer in school.
Ugh, the homeschool group in GA is just a couple of towns over. Homeschoolers are all over the place with activities and dances and stuff going on. We go to activities all week long with hundreds of kids. I'm just waffling on when to start keeping my kids home. I have a feeling if they start testing the numbers are absolutely going to blow up around here. With a large family if one of us gets sick we are almost certainly all going to get it. The kid who tested positive has no connection to China or Italy so community spread. BUT I still feel like a complete weirdo telling my kids they have to stop going to outside activities because no one else around here seems to be taking this seriously at all. Am I totally over reacting?
Testing seems past it’s prime. By the time a person is tested, he/she has already infected others.
What we need are solutions. Find a way to stop the spread.
Bumping elbows? Won't that scatter all the germs from coughing into ya elbow?CNN on Twitter
Rather than shaking hands, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts is encouraging people to bump elbows to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. The governor demonstrated it in a video of himself greeting people leaving quarantine at a facility in Omaha. cnn.it/2VKG6ha
This is funny to me idk why. MOO
Doctor said masks absolutely do nothing. Not even the N95. She said the droplets are too small.
She told me no non-essential travel for me. Damn.
She also told me she doesn’t know if asthmatics can survive it because they don’t know enough yet. She told me that the best bet is to get medical attention quickly if I feel sick. She also doesn’t know if Kaiser will have enough respirators and stuff if there’s a huge influx.
But she said no need to stock up on medications. Just make sure I have my one month supply.
The big cancer center in Tampa FL has a message on their patient portal.
Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19)
Update: For the safety of our patients and families, we are screening all patients at Moffitt Cancer Center.
I agree.I share that feeling of being a prisoner, as I'm sure many others do. But I'd rather be around and we'd like you and all the others to be around too.
The CDC has issued a new guideline for testing, likely because of all the complaints. Know that anyone in the US can be tested with doctor’s orders and the test is free to the patient. If anyone is having symptoms, I would check with your doctor about testing.Wow. 39 million people in California..... 39 million.
515 have been tested. Color me unhappy.
MOO
Thank you. Does your health and age demographic factor in to your decision? I do appreciate your input. My concern is I have a couple of concerning preexisting conditions and my kids interact daily with my parents who are in their 70's and who have both have serious preexisting conditions. I'm not otherwise at all concerned about husband or kids and their risks. They rarely get sick.
Edit: I should clarify that they do get sick. But it's usually mild and they have no underlying health conditions. The time we ALL got the flu for weeks was pretty brutal with both parents being sick at once.
What the heck was up with Italy? Seems a lot of people from a lot of places picked it up and spread it to the four corners...
@dotr This is intriguing. Please provide details on the elbow-ravishing.O/t
As a teen i once wore a short sleeved blouse to my summer job and all the other workers told me to cover up quickly because the boss was stepping out of his office. Huh?
They kept saying hurry get away he goes absolutely nuts over elbows. Of course i thought they were teasing me and held my ground.
Surprise, the boss made a beeline towards me and practically ravaged my elbows, the others scolded me afterward for not heeding their warnings.
Anyway, if the man is still alive and elbow greetings are the new norm.he might be the one person to appreciate cv19 as the "gift that keeps giving" !
Guessing this..speculation, imo.
