An interesting discussion last night on the importance of surveillance testing (in addition to the more acute testing) of the broader population to actually get our heads around it. The one person was saying you sort of dig back in time through the past few months to start seeing how and when it spread - often hidden behind other issues. An example being reviewing all pneumonia cases at a hard hit hospital for the past few months to see if the tests show coronavirus. Then look at the people who were involved and see how they test, and so. ANYONE with the antibodies will have had exposure to it, so you start to get way more accurate trend info and maybe fine how it moved from area to area better. Anyway, she was worried because that test, a useful tool, is not in development (to her knowledge). Just a focus on the main test for folks who have the virus actively.

12string Posted March 18, 2020 Share #212 Posted March 18, 2020 I see all the testing centers lining up for when test are ready. I'm a little concerned about the plan that anyone can just roll up and take a test, no prescription, no symptoms. And a pass means go out on the town! With people who DIDN'T get a test, or decided they don't feel THAT sick. Some sort of documented clean only allowed out is the only solution to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted March 18, 2020 Share #222 Posted March 18, 2020 Meanwhile, at spring break... -------------------------------------------------- Spring breakers grind and party on booze cruise despite coronavirus pandemic By Nadine DeNinno March 18, 2020 | 3:13pm | Updated Spring break … forever? College kids are bucking advice to practice social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic and instead are partying in tight quarters aboard booze cruises. A video from STS Travel shows about 250 bikini-clad spring breakers dancing, drinking and throwing their cares to the wind aboard a ship near Nassau, Bahamas, on Monday, a day after the country reported its first COVID-19 case. “Our last booze cruise was yesterday,” the post reads. “The Blackbeard’s Revenge Cruise took such good care of our travelers, no one had to walk the plank!” In fact, they’re not the only ones who are ignoring social-distancing advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. STS Travel’s vice president, Jake Jacobsen, tells Business Insider that his company, Student Travel Services, has only seen 20% of customers cancel their travel plans amid the pandemic. However, Jacobsen says STS Travel cut the capacity of passengers in half for its booze cruises to about 250 people. Many countries have advised against large gatherings and the CDC suggests canceling all US gatherings of 10 or more people in the upcoming weeks and keeping 6 feet away from others. SEE ALSO The kids are all wrong: Spring breakers defy coronavirus lockdown Meanwhile, other college students on spring break are defying safety and lockdown rules in order to keep the party going. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered bars and nightclubs in the state to close for 30 days as of Tuesday evening after spring breakers were seen partying at Clearwater Beach. In Miami, some partiers say they aren’t letting coronavirus wreck their spring break. “If I get corona, I get corona,” Ohio resident Brady Sluder told Reuters. “At the end of the day, I’m not going to let it stop me from partying.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them no, they are going to infect 30 people first who will then infect the entire campus. This chart would have been handy.....

Sun's rays are a disinfectant of sorts outdoors, but people are gonna be indoors in hot temps. Plus, it seems to hit the hotter areas anyway, so going on the premise of it not being the flu and not being a respecter of hunches, the virus is gonna do what it is gonna do. The virus is going to do what it’s going to do. It’s spreading in Brazil where it is in the high 80’s. Flu burns out in the spring because 1) it’s already infected a bunch of people already 2) vaccines limit the number of people susceptible to infection and 3) we’ve all got some immunity it flu having seen similar strains before in our lives. This virus is completely new, so it’s only limiter is people it’s already infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to take the trailer and they have a zone where it can be parked. He is getting propane filled, gas cans filled, truck filled. He is putting plans together. Meanwhile, my place of business had in person meetings this week. I received an invite for one, yesterday, via email. FUCKING IDIOTS! After my email yesterday, all they really did was put some info up for mental health resources, and some disclaimers about confusion of contagion. Like, basically things that dampen people's nerves.

The problem with your work place - among probably many - is that they are under some false assumption that we're in a very short term, business as usual event, when in reality, the ramp up to closings, restrictions, and even quarantines will get far worse before they ease. So, rather than scale back now, they seem to be just running straight for the non-moving brick wall. Stupid. And you're hubby is correct to ask you to stop working. It isn't always easy to do that for couples, but it shows he is really concerned and willing to put you WAY AHEAD of $$$ or your job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
