I would think they want verification that you had it. However, I wish they would get to people who think they had it who could give blood and plasma... and they would find out if they had antibodies. That's probably phase 9.
By the time New York City confirmed its first case of the coronavirus on March 1, thousands of infections were already silently spreading through the city, a hidden explosion of a disease that many still viewed as a remote threat as the city awaited the first signs of spring.
Hidden outbreaks were also spreading almost completely undetected in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle, long before testing showed that each city had a major problem, according to a model of the spread of the disease by researchers at Northeastern University who shared their results with The New York Times.
Even in early February — while the world focused on China — the virus was not only likely to be spreading in multiple American cities, but also seeding blooms of infection elsewhere in the United States, the researchers found.
In five major U.S. cities, as of March 1 there were only 23 confirmed cases of coronavirus. But according to the Northeastern model, there could have actually been about 28,000 infections in those cities by then.

Lot of stuff out there that says masks don't work. Guess doctors and nurses should stop wearing them then.Dress like a bandit!
You should check with the airline as you get closer to your event. My older bro works in operations for an airline and he said passenger traffic is wayyyyyyyy down and hundreds of planes are parked.I hope to travel to Idaho the end of June, if our event isn't cancelled. Do you have any thoughts, or have you heard anything, about prices for airline tickets when states begin to open up. Oh one hand, I think the travel industry will be lowering prices to entice people to get out of their homes, and the other hand says they need the money and will go for all they can get price wise. Just asking
MOO
Just don't think airline travel will be normal even by June.You should check with the airline as you get closer to your event. My older bro works in operations for an airline and he said passenger traffic is wayyyyyyyy down and hundreds of planes are parked.

I sure have no interest in inhaling the air in such a germ-laden mode of transport any time soon.Just don't think airline travel will be normal even by June.
Maybe the Red Cross could check as part of their blood donation processing.
This. Disease. Is. So. Bizarre!!!
Wow. I just looked at some photos of Bozeman.
Breathtaking views, and beautiful down town core.
What a beautiful town. Little piece of paradise, there.

Go to your local Ace Hardware, if you have one. The ban on sales of garden supplies and paint is only at the big box stores that are 50,000 SQ FT or greater, such as Walmart and Meijers. ACE stores are only 10,000 SqFt and so they are open with their normal inventory. You can buy some things online and pick up at the store to minimize your time there:

Insane Clown Posse cancels this year's Gathering of the Juggalos due to Covid-19 - CNN
Very prudent of them
"The bottom line is that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times," the Insane Clown Posse said in a statement posted to Twitter.
Kali, you may have said this previously, but I'll never be able to catch up with the reading here- my question: Have you contacted your local government rep. yet regarding both your stimulus checks and getting a loan from the SBA now that the additional legislative bill has been passed?
We're in NYS and received the stimulus deposits on the actual day the Treasury Dept. said people would, although they did make it clear that those receiving paper checks in the mail would have a bit longer wait. I know those folks who have gone online to check on their stimulus have been successful in getting info.
I mention contacting your local state govt. rep. because we did that ourselves, via FB messaging, and got an immediate response from our NYS Assemblyman. He and his office are doing what they can to help us with the huge mess NYS's unemployment system is in. Supposedly it was "fixed," but it hasn't been. We are not the only one's suffering re: getting our claim finalized and getting some help. I totally empathize.
