Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #55

That sounds like some kind of phishing scam to me. I would call the salon and ask if they are really requiring that info for your appointment. There's no way I would ever provide that type of personal medical info to a hair salon. If that is really what they are asking for, I would take my business elsewhere. MOO.

ya me neither
no way in he doublehockeysticks they'd be getting that info from me

I am really confused as to what is this concern over the homeless covid infected guy is about. There have been people with covid asked to quarantine in their homes. People from cruise ships were asked to quarantine on military bases.
Since this guy is homeless, he has to quarantine somewhere. Otherwise he is just going to spread it around.

Because he was arrested for leaving a government run facility that he was forced to stay at.

I find it interesting that homeless people are subjected to different rules and consequences that others do not face. JMO.

Concern for me is , as quoted, " asked to quarantine in their homes" vs forced to quarantine in their homes.

If they were not compliant, they would have been forced. Jeez. I remember one non compliant guy had armed police stationed near his home to prevent him from going out.

Interesting. What is happening with blood vessels - is it constriction?

Here is one of Dr. Seheult's overview on blood vessels... he has many, but this one is the most direct to your question.

He states "Covid 19 is an endothelial disease which gets in through the lungs" ... (he goes into oxidative stress .. build up of superoxide and peroxides..which he's been building on for a while before he gets into the explanation)

Surely they can let the crews who are on ships with no confirmed cases to disembark immediately and arrange for them to go home. Then start working on those who are onboard ships with positive cases. 70,000 people is beyond imagining.

I am sure that all of these people would be willing to get on shuttles and driven directly to the tarmac for evacuation. But SOMEONE has to arrange it. They cannot arrange it themselves. Someone has to spend some money, somewhere. I suppose they could heartlessly only rescue the employees whose credit cards could handle the charges of the plane fare - but really, they should rent a private plane.

The lawsuits an airline would face if knowingly boarding untested employees of a cruise ship would be numerous (should anyone on that plane come down with CoVid - which someone probably will at some point).

Airlines would be willing to provide a jet for very little, for the positive publicity (Delta comes to mind - they would do it, it seems like their corporate policy is in that direction). But SOMEONE has to ask and arrange.

We live in a day when even if Delta has reached out (to whom?) no one is at the top or in charge or knows what to do.

Where do they "disembark immediately"to? I would suggest local hotels, as we've done in California - but the State required the hotel be repurposed just for this quarantine and testing of cruise passengers/employees and the State paid for it.

When the very first disembarkations occurred (before the new policies were signed) the first 60 cruise passengers brought CoVid to many counties, most notably Sonoma, but also my own county and to Long Beach (which ended up with Long Beach being a hot spot - the hospitals tried to quarantine, but there was no PPE and this is extremely virulent).

In short, no one in Florida's power structure wants them to "disembark immediately" (without testing and plans for moving them to their own countries). Further, there's a federal set of rules about immigration - they must be held at the "border" if they are not transiting. They are no longer transiting.

If their employer just bought them all plane tickets - they would be transiting again and I bet HSA would agree to let them go home. Maybe not quickly - but surely...the Federal Government would permit them to use the "transit" clause of our immigration policy?

(And not hold them in camps as if they came from south of the border...although many of them are from south of the border).

Oh LadyL I am so sorry. I know you have been worried about him and not able to visit. It's been a long haul for you. Sending you a big cyber hug.

Will think of you and your family in my evening prayers tonight.

Cannot help but wonder if they are looking for information that could be sold to other parties (ads ect), imo, speculation.
Other than that, maybe you should send them a similar questionnaire about the staff who will be working there on the day of your appointment?!
speculation.

good idea!

This is sad because much of the homeless population have mental illnesses. I hope they have advocates. Imagine being held prisoner because you have Covid. I wonder how much they cared about them before.

Where I live, almost all the advocates are my age or older. So we're high risk and aren't as active. We sure do need younger people stepping up to go to Zoom City Council Meetings, Zoom County Board meetings, etc - all the federally and state required places where your public officials have to show their faces.

I am actually one of the younger ones who do go to these meetings (although truthfully - I'm now exhausted and don't think I'll do it any more - even on Zoom). I don't see why younger people can't do it.

For free. As it always been, for advocates for the mentally ill or disabled.

I’ve been thinking about you and your dad, so very sorry to hear your sad news

There is good evidence that this would work so well in large tech companies. Anyone ever have the Myers Briggs tests? We administered these test in all the tech companies I worked for...

There is such a high percentage of employees in tech companies that test out at "Introvert" rather than "Extrovert"... Makes total sense that tech employees are loving the new work environment at home.

On the other hand, Google serves free gourmet meals three times a day....so some folks love to work very l-o-n-g days in the office.

ENTJ here, but loving it like an INTJ!

Deepest sympathies. That's really hard. Especially right now. I hope you find some solace among us internet strangers who really do care - you are a bright light here on WS.

It would probably get them into legal trouble if they decided to try and only exclude people with medical issues related to CoVid.

If they're going to start trying to notate their services according to medical conditions, surely allergies should be disclosed. I've been to many salons that asked just that information (allergies) for rather obvious reasons. In fact, I found a salon that asked for and used that information for my mother when she was about 70 - and I trusted that salon. So did she and she never had any allergic reactions.

I'm a guy so I just get my hair cut. It's not obvious to me why a salon would need to know about a persons allergies.

Can you explain to me why it's obvious to need that info because I haven't a clue.
