OT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Part II (READ THE OP)

[broadwayblue]

So they decided to close NYC public schools. Just saw it announced.

 

[broadwayblue]

Get tested.

I would...is there a list of testing sites?

Interest rates cut to practically zero

I'm hearing NYC schools will close

Good time to borrow if you need to. 30 year treasury yield is around 1.5% and 30 year mortgage around 3.5%.

Just spoke to my boss. I'm a dentist in S. Fl and my boss is closing all 5 company dental offices for 2 weeks. Then a reduced schedule after that for a bit.

He told me that the NY Times released an article today that said the top 3 professions in danger with the virus are dental hygienist, dental assistant and dentist.

That makes sense that dentists would have a higher risk but what do people do if they need emergency surgery or root canal or something like that?

public schools closed until 4/20, get lit

1)Rates to zero eases credit market conditions that were seizing. 2) Longer loans help eliminate panic in short-term lending market and keep banks lending. Helps avoid mass layoffs we saw in during 2008 financial crisis. 3) Now the big worry will be that the Fed is out of ammunition.

@Richard Banger

Were you guys tested or is it self diagnosis? My aunt was tested down in Florida after a 3 day quarantine in the hospital and came back negative.

Was tested at a hospital.


But I get to go back to work next Wednesday. I honestly feel fine. Just tired but that's probably because I'm out of my routine.

DC has banned bar seating and serving standing patrons.

Nice to be a teacher huh. Basically a paid vacation till September (no way they will re-open on April 21st)

Apparently Oscar is listing test sites in the link below:

Oscar | Smart, simple health insurance.

I'm pretty sure tests are still in short supply though, and only those over 65 will get top priority. It also seems like they are recommending anyone with mild symptoms, or symptoms that have self-resolved, to sit tight and avoid going the doctor.

If you want to rule out flu, you can go to urgent care.

Picked myself up four bottles of Jim Beam, ready for quarantine now

People right now are worried about the health concerns. Just wait. The economic fallout is going to be massive.

Seriously considering buying an attachable bidet because of this, tbh. I know Hello Tushy is a good one but the classic is back-ordered to late April. Any one else with experiences with other brands?

I like #2 but yeah, #3 is it and I’d say this is a bandaid.

I think the realistic expectation is that school can resume in September.
