They'll be OK. Just a mild case. They won't even notice and will be able to go to work.

Wow, making breakfast (potatoes, again...I guess I’m on a potato diet lol).

Anyway, I just pulled two small spuds out of the pan which I would normally cook and put them back in the fridge to ration...

Start rationing your food folks. Been talking about this for a while now.

Moooo

ETA- again, for me, this is not so much due to potential good shortages, but more so the logistics of having to go shop and out around people

Ya we can stockpile, but can we ration?

A Senior Pentagon Official I spoke to on Monday, told me intelligence reports they’ve seen, make clear that the Department of Defense assesses the potential for a severe strain on “hospital beds and staff” in the US within 14 days. #CoronavirusPandemic

As stock prices dive, Trump says "markets are gonna be just fine"

While posing for pictures with Ireland's Prime Minister Leo Varadkar outside the White House on Thursday, President Trump was asked by a CBS News White House correspondent about the dramatic impact the coronavirus pandemic was having on global stock markets.

But the president didn't appear concerned, saying in response to the question: "The markets are gonna be just fine."

Another member of CBS News' White House team asked him why he was so confident, noting that the markets were "tanking," but the president did not respond. He walked inside the White House with Varadkar.

Pelosi speaking now on CNN. She wiped her nose and her voice sounds a bit raspy

So... how's Chuck Grassly feeling?

Trump is going down. He didn't look too good last night.

Have been wanting to suggest as much but did not dare, until now- imo, seemed pale, hoarse and out of breath, imo, speculation.

following with building anxiety. Today I actually physically had the same sensation as I had the day of 9/11.

*advertiser censored*, that's bad.

Trump is going down. He didn't look too good last night.

I hope not. That would be terrible for the country, not to mention his family.

Without saying who you work for, what kind of work do you do?
We are a general contractor, so not sure what we'd do?

I work for a major public utility company. So many of my co-workers who work in the field (linemen, etc.) will still have to do so for now.

However, I am an office worker so that is what I think we are going to be told at 2pm. All who can work from home, should.

I am single and my children are grown so I’m not crazy about this. I like coming to work.

I was just thinking, where does this end?
Take the WMT employee. Thru no fault of her own, how many did she infect that have not been tested yet, but remain in isolation, many with symptoms, but not to the severity they need hospitalization? Then, before her coworkers, family & acquaintances knew WMT employee was positive, how many did they infect? Then, friends & family of coworkers come into the contact string, how many did they infect?
Why why why did WMT remain open, never once locking their doors for a deep clean? How often do we see a WMT employee from the pet dept. at the deli/bakery to get their lunch? After eating in their car or brake area, they return to their department, After potential exposure?

I can’t find any info to clarify if one has immunity after recovering from novel C. I think WHO anticipates this is true. If so, things might get back to normal sooner v later, because the 80% that will not need treatment can get back to life as normal. Imo, some of us can pretty much self diagnose, based on where we live & where we’ve been.
Unfortunately not all governors are releasing info that I feel should be released. Ours refuses to reveal how many are presumed positive & in home quarantine. But, when the town is very small & you have ties to it, word gets
around. I trust my friends on local gov’ & health care, they have no reason to lie. Moo

The number of coronavirus tests being conducted in the United States hasn’t gone up so far this week, instead, it’s gone down, way down. During Donald Trump’s address Wednesday he mentioned testing in just one line of the 10-minute speech saying, “Testing and testing capabilities are expanding rapidly, day by day.” But it turns out, it’s not expanding at all. At least not yet. According to the official CDC website 741 people were tested on Sunday, that number dropped to 396 on Monday and then Tuesday something more bizarre occurred just 8 people were tested. What is baffling is U.S. officials aren’t addressing the lack of testing.

They should still be tested for at least the next 2 weeks. They could still get the virus.

One case I read had 27 day incubation, they believe. Moo because I didn’t bookmark. I’ll try to find it.

 

[Herat]

Wow, they had edible panties back then?!

Hmmm

I'm going to have to add Survival Panties to my quarantine stock.

Yes. I don’t understand why anyone would say that.

This is why he shut down the NBA....sounds like he broke quarantine....

Many people who have been in contact w/ someone who tested positive have been told to isolate themselves for 14 days. Gobert played in 7 games in the last 14 days against Toronto (3/9), Detroit (3/7), Boston (3/6), Knicks (3/4), Cleveland (3/2), Washington (2/28) & Boston (2/26).

Wait, Can we get clarification on this? I’m not sure he broke isolation?

Yes. I keep getting the idea that we should be planning for at least 6 weeks, not two
