Coronavirus COVID-19 *Global Health Pandemic* #20

[Hatfield]

This map someone shared (thanks for sharing) a couple pages back has good charts and summaries for the US. The NY Times removed their paywall so its free to look at now.

If you scroll down through the page there is different breakdowns and different sets of numbers to look at. A section gives the totals for each state in the US.

@Momof4RN, Are you heading anything locally about preparations on your side of the state about the virus?

Nothing on the Hampton Roads side....

 

[Skigh]

Hmmm

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

you could use them to make a mask!

Huh? No time for cryptic announcements....

something more bizarre occurred just 8 people were tested.

This is not accurate, imo. KY had 20 yesterday.
Look how many we linked here, all day long.
Sanjay G. Said the CDC knew of 8.
Not all labs are reporting to the CDC.
Colorado tested 160 at drive in.

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

I would not be surprised if more politicians get it, all that travel and meetings and handshaking. One of the UK's health ministers has already been struck down

I am really hoping the Queen and Philip don't get ill.

Province to open first wave of COVID-19 assessment centres in coming days, including several in GTA
''Ontario will open six dedicated COVID-19 assessment centres in the coming days as it works to ramp up its response to the global pandemic.

The first wave of assessment centres will be located at Brampton Civic Hospital, The Ottawa Hospital, North York General Hospital, Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill and within the Scarborough Health Network and Trillium Health Partners network in Mississauga.

The province says that the locations for the initial centres were chosen because they are all in areas experiencing “a significant growth in testing.”

Hmmm

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

For more than one reason. I now understand the rush to buy TP.

To each his or her own as to what they want to live with or without.

I’m so glad I got toilet paper.

Agree. If someone in my family were to get sick during all this, I certainly don’t want to be dealing with all of us in my house trying to live without toilet paper. A needless and avoidable tolerance and inconvenience.

Also, women (including teens who often are less well-versed in dealing without toilet paper) have particular monthly challenges that would make it extra difficult. Truly.

I’m not directing this at any of our lovely posters here (ALL of whom I am grateful to for participating in this thread!), but I’m personally really tired of the media and others in my community making fun of people who would like to be comfortable, and have one less thing to worry about, by having toilet paper during this health crisis.

MOO.

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

I thought so and mentioned it after his appearance in the red cap and black jacket. He looked pale and drained. Wonder seriously why he won't get tested, if he won't get tested. Maybe he will and not speak about it. JMO

 

[Herat]

So... how's Chuck Grassly feeling?

How far down do we have to go to get a low-risk case: ie; A woman under 50?

Sanjay G. Said the CDC knew of 8.

Good Point. Hope it's not true, though News and Guts is Dan Rather and usually a good source of truthful info.

ETA The article did say Tuesday only 8. Yesterday was Wednesday. So up again perhaps.

See it at link....

Gov. Kemp to provide afternoon coronavirus update

 

[Trudie]

For more than one reason. I now understand the rush to buy TP.

I heard Dr. Nat on Today mention diarrhea as a symptom, dehydrating diarrhea.

 

[Richmond]

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

Maybe because a lot of people feel that he is taking us down.
MOO

Carnival Sunshine docked in Charleston this morning. Passengers say the cruise line took necessary precautions – like screenings – before and during the trip. Cruisers disembark in Charleston, say Carnival took necessary precautions during trip

Sorry for the type o confusion.

He said his doctor told him there was no need for him to be tested.

Well, he didn't say that in particular, he had someone else say that for him.
