Shame on Modly. You can't DEMAND respect. He'll be a joke for the rest of his "acting" tenure.I'm aghast at the lack of respect for Captain Crozier and his devotion to his crew.
So have any experts worked out why under 19's do not seem greatly affected by CV19? "
Reminder neighbor! DeWine presser live Live Coverage of an event from WHIO-TVMe, too. Thanks for the time reminder, working remotely and on lots of conference calls, responding to emails, etc., can lose track of time.

One ER nurse is demonstrating how quickly and easily COVID-19 can spread with cross-contamination, even if you wear gloves to the grocery store. "There’s no point in wearing gloves if you’re not going to wash your hands every time you touch something."

Yes. 4 yo Malayan tiger tested positive. Her sister, 2 Siberian tigers, and 3 African lions are showing symptoms- dry cough & loss of appetite.Tiger tests positive for coronavirus at Bronx Zoo, first known case in the world
This is very upsetting news. The other ones are showing symptoms?
Well, you not going to wash your hands every time you touch something either. I am disinfecting my gloves with hand sanitizer if I go out.FOX 10 Phoenix

Be warned that if you sign up for Walmart's grocery delivery service your exposure might be the same or worse than actually going to the store.
I work for an outpatient clinic, and I thought it would be a good idea not to go to the store or stand in long lines--just in case I'm an asymptomatic spreader. I've used the WMT drive up service previously. The pick-up folks have been signing that the customer agrees to to the replacements/order. Relatively, no contact.
Walmart in our area is advertising unlimited pick up service. It sounded like a good no contact option, right?
Well, imagine my surprise when I had to sign for the order on the delivery driver's personal cell phone! Had to get within 3 feet just to reach for his phone. Not his fault. He's just doing what he's been told is "policy."
If I'm an asymptomatic spreader, that means he could get infected and go spreading this to anyone trying to stay home. Also, I'd assume that the more vulnerable population might use this service--not just healthcare workers trying to limit spreading infection in their communities.
Are all the grocery delivery services like this?
'Why are doctors being told to let us die in hospital? We're all being betrayed"
Dr Jon Hastie, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, fears if he contracts Covid-19 he will not be saved as doctors have been told to make "brutal"
decisions
"The guidance recommends that critical care is denied to people that might take longer to recover from Covid-19.
"In essence, thousands of the most vulnerable people will be denied treatment and left to die.
"I’m Jon, I’m 39 and I have Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic muscle wasting condition.
"I started using a wheelchair when I was ten years old, and my muscles have gradually deteriorated.
"Now I use a ventilator to breathe. Based on my current health, I could live another 15 years.
"If I get sick and go to the hospital, under this guidance, I will likely be denied critical care, based on an assumption that I will take longer to recover.
"I’m angry about this, but most of all, I’m just scared.
"My life is valuable, I have a PHD, I’m the CEO of a small charity supporting others with my condition and I volunteer for NHS England.
"And I have a husband and a loving family. I don’t want to die.

I really feel for people like Jon who have significant health problems and are worried sick about catching coronavirus. Everyone’s life matters and people should not be denied life saving treatment because they unfortunately have health issues. I understand there aren’t enough ventilators for everybody and not everyone can be saved but it is extremely difficult to accept.
I am nearly 36 and have a frailty score of 5 because I walk with crutches due to botched spinal surgery in 2006 and I also have Crohn’s Disease. I’m concerned that I wouldn’t be given a ventilator and it would go instead to an able bodied person. I’m terrified of catching the coronavirus because despite my health problems like Jon I still want to live. I’m not ready to die yet there are still things I want to do in life.
