These essential workers could get $25,000 in hazard pay under 'Hero Fund' plan
Democrats in Congress want to give essential workers a raise for staying on the job in the face of coronavirus.
Senate Democrats are proposing nurses and doctors, but also grocery clerks and transit workers, get as much as $25,000 in hazard pay from the federal government.

My Hairstylist has a plan to get colour to customers. I will do an e-transfer to pay. They will contact me with a pick up time. When they see me pull up they set product outside the door with instructions. I will take all precautions handling the bag. Not sure how it will turn out as I have 2 different glaze colours. It's my cut that's about to get interesting. It's rather intricate. Oh and my Hair guy and his husband live on the top floor of their establishment. It was a former Temple so no need to leave their home except to go downstairs. This could be interesting with the result
Don't forget to do a test on some strands of hair located underneath your top hair.

"WA records just three new coronavirus cases but COVID-19 restrictions to last at least six months - ABC News" WA records just three new coronavirus cases but COVID-19 restrictions to last at least six months - ABC News
Wow. These are tough restrictions from Western Australia. Borders closed for 6 months.
Western Australia has recorded another three cases of coronavirus in what Premier Mark McGowan says is the lowest daily increase since the state's testing regime began.
Key points:
All three new cases are West Australians living in the Perth metropolitan area, with two of the patients having travelled on cruise ships in the Mediterranean.
Latest information from the WA Health Department
Authorities are still investigating how the third person became infected.
The total number of West Australians who have been infected with COVID-19 stands at 449, with the remaining 68 cases involving overseas passengers and crew from the Artania cruise ship.
Mr McGowan said the low number of new cases was "unambiguously good news" and WA had "successfully flattened the curve".
But he said restrictions designed to limit the spread of the virus would remain in place for some time, indicating that would include WA's hard border closure.

"There's going to be restrictions in place at least for six months in one form or another," he said.
Coronavirus update: Follow the latest news in our daily wrap.
Border restrictions here 'for a long period of time'
Mr McGowan said the state and regional border closures, combined with the international restrictions on people travelling overseas, had been very effective.
How will WA's border closures work?
WA is closing its borders to the east for the first time in its history. Here's how you might be affected.

"I think the border restrictions are the most important things we've done to ensure that we create a fortress of Western Australia in which we are protected from infection from elsewhere," he said.
"They will certainly remain in place for a long period of time.
"Those things together [have] given Western Australia a lot of hope that we will continue to reduce the rate of infection.
"We will continue to review the measures within Western Australia — certainly not the borders, but the measures within Western Australia — on a monthly basis."
Cafe, restaurant rules may be among first reviewed
The Premier said the first of any potential changes to restrictions would be those which might allow people to return to work.
They included rules surrounding cafes and restaurants.

Agreed. Here is the article of how it spread at the wedding.
"What no one knew was that as 125 people moved and sang, something else was dancing along with them: the novel coronavirus."
After a dream wedding, the coronavirus spreads pain and fear through a CNY family
From the decision:
The court didn’t consider whether Kelly’s order infringes on religious freedom.

I really don’t see any way it’s going to happen. I was shocked she sent out the invites about 2 weeks ago. I thought maybe I was crazy. LOL

Good morning everyone and Happy Easter! My husband and I will have Easter dinner 2020 style. Baked potatoes smothered in canned chili and topped with shredded cheddar cheese. Paired with a vintage White Claw.
Haha... my grandmother told me my mother ordered ham from Omaha Steaks 2 weeks (!) ago, and I was filled with admiration at her foresight!
I myself have no idea what I'm going to eat for Easter dinner right now; but I have to come up with something, as my sister keeps asking me what it will be. Maybe pigs in blankets.
. I think she's getting a share of the ham, in a porch handoff TBD.

Thanks for this post... I certainly hope our Bat Lady is safe..in China. Sometimes these theories do really make sense and make you wonder. But will we ever really know? They seem to know quite a lot within China already...but they aren't going to share. It was those early whistleblowers that really got my attention early on.

Startups spar with FDA over what constitutes an at-home coronavirus test
According to the article, Vault Health and MicroGen DX look like they received FDA approval April 11th.
So, we could see increased private testing.
With MicroGen DX, it looks like physicians can order tests. Patients can order tests with an order from their physician. MicroGenDX will have the capacity to process 10,000 samples per day.

Can't tell about Vault Health?
Anyway, good news that the FDA is starting to be able to approve more testing.

CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCY: Dr. Todd Ellerin joins @tomllamasabc
to answer your coronavirus questions, including new reports from South Korea of some patients becoming re-infected with COVID-19 after recovering.
Dr. Tom Ellerin, infectious disease expert Boston area treating COVID patients
"Now with new developments concerning the coronavirus...
-South Korea is reporting cases of reinfection after a patient has recovered
-There is also talk from some experts of a so-called second round of the virus come this fall
"First of all, these are very sensitive tests, so patients often will remain positive after they are infected for 8-21 days after, that does not mean they are contagious for that long, we are still learning more about this, but it is more likely that they are contagious earlier in the course.
Now, As far as the second wave, this is important, this virus wants to infect more than 50% of the population, we think so far that likely less than 10% has been infected so we can't just rip the band aid off and let everyone out. We have to have a measured response as we think about opening the country"

I wont even attempt a garden. I kill cactus. I share air space with a plant and it dies. Husband cares for the 2 plants we have. It would frustrate me to no end. Kudos to those of you taking it on and those of you who have been doing it before all the crazy.

So which is less risky?
Having a neighbor with no symptoms leave groceries at the doorstep?
Or mask up and go to the store?

PLAINVIEW, Nassau County (WABC) -- Doctors on Long Island are using some decades-old medication with promising results in fighting the novel coronavirus.
Dr. Ryan Saadi, of Quantaira Health, partnered with Dr. Muhammad Alam and Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad at Plainview Hospital using the much-talked-about hydroxychloroquine combined with the antibiotic doxycycline.
The combination therapy was administered to dozens of high-risk COVID-19 patients at three long term care facilities on Long Island. They say most of those patients have now fully recovered.
Although impressive, not everyone completed the therapy with positive results.
Out of 54 patients with a median age of 67, nine of them did not complete the six-day therapy due to side effects, a hospital transfer, and three of them died.
The results of the small group study were submitted to a major medical journal for review. A total of 45 COVID-19 patients did complete the combination therapy successfully and clinically recovered.
