Coronavirus - COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #22

Totally agree.
So where does that leave us?
I am thinking grateful not to be in that position.
No matter who I have voted for in the past , I have always supported my President.
Why does it matter if he has been tested?
We should be more concerned with ourselves, our families, our friends and neighbors, self isolating, social distancing et al.
I could care less if Trudeau or Tom Hanks has the virus.
MOO.

Why does it matter? Well, for one, he is meeting a lot of people. If he is infected, he should be in isolation, not running around meeting numerous people.

To be fair, I believe isolation is suggested after exposure IF one has symptoms. If exposed (prob all of us) but feeling well, it is not necessary to isolate.
It is helpful if we avoid the public. We lessen our chance of getting it & if we are asymptomatic we can transmit it.
Self isolation is an option for all of us, but not an order. Actually, it seems like we are encouraged to not self isolate.
Our blood bank is asking people to come in & donate, restaurants are open & advertising nightly specials, etc.
The only way to keep people home is to shut establishments down. If places are open, people will come. Moo

Well it’s hard to stay six feet away from people if you don’t isolate.

And if it’s spreading in your connunity, the CDC recommends social distancing:


Avoid close contact

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick
• Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) – Prevention & Treatment

Yes it was I do apologize. It was in reference to somebody posting he didn't look well. My comment was referencing what I believe is contributing to his pallor.
ETA-I deleted my post but since it's quoted......

I liked your post and agree. The orange stops well below his eyes and gives a pale color around his eyes. I'm not putting him down, just think it's why some think he looks ill. He looks the same as usual to me.

I was comparing what I saw at todays PC to what I think I know about social distancing. every time someone shake hands or touch the microphone I wanted to tell them they should not do that.... especially with millions of people watching.

Will Canada close its border with the United States?

 

[MuddyTires]

I just can't say what I think about this.....,or risk a lifetime ban.

Happy these companies got free advertising, although I don't understand why he had them nor do I understand why he allowed them to speak.

More insane by the day.....

Having the leaders of major US companies on board with Dr. Brix and others to show that the government is working hand in hand with the American private sector--the greatest engine of innovation and problem solving the world has ever known--in a united and comprehensive response is insane?

What would be insane is for government to try to address something like this by itself.

Yep, self isolate and keep your distance. So why are thousands of people rushing off to Costco and standing cheek by jowl in line for an hour or two to buy TP and water??

If its really bad, shouldn't you dash into the nearest shop, get what you need and get out?? Avoid lineups etc.

With Europe now being declared the epicentre of the virus I think the US are sensible to consider banning flights from the U.K. too. IMO

I can’t believe it. I had to go to the garage for something. In looking for it I saw a bag of face masks...hhmmmm.
Could it be? Yes!!!!!...an unopened bag of 20 N95s...
Wooohoooo

Found a box in my cabinet the other day, from my Y2K prep. They’re not the respirator type , just N95 masks. Doubt I’ll use them, but who knows.

OMG Corona?snow?, snow virus?. Thanks to the social media and the CNN's of the world, mass hysteria has now descended on my peaceful part of the world. We are expecting a small snow (2-4") and as I stood in line for my pint of milk, fresh strawberries, watermelon, jerky and beer to watch sports at home this weekend, I was surrounded by people with 2-3 carts full of ? The lady behind me and I started to talk, she had 2 36 rolls of tp, so I asked, large family? Oh no, just my husband and I but we've been told on social media and CNN to stock up on tp, because we may not be able to get out for months! So congratulations to all the fear mongers, guess the media is successful in creating the largest hoax of mass hysteria ever. Just MOO

I wonder if you can eat toilet paper?

 

[gitana1]

By FAR. At least the market turned back up. Let's hope the panic starts to subside over the weekend. Although I'm not terribly optimistic about that. jmo

So is Italy just panicking?
