OT: Coronavirus (COVID-19) thread

Freudian slip?

Fast typing. Hate incorrect grammar.

Folks, I have a date today at a Shuffleboard place and I'm thinking of cancelling, she seems to want to go. I don't think I have symptoms, but who knows at this point. I really mentally need to do something other than think of the Coronavirus, would it be irresponsible of me to go on the date?

is this at like a nursing home? shuffleboard sounds like you are about to go and infect a bunch of grandmas

I believe a bit of this is hyped up. US stumbled out the gates but has taken the appropriate steps necessary to recover the course of action. Although I believe the media is being and has been irresponsible for fear mongering the whole world, there needs to be action taken to limit it.

I find it funny people compare what’s happening here to Italy. As if their infrastructure is anything compared to ours. Not to mention they are a much more elderly population. It’s absurd to me all this hype and inspiration of fear but no one wants to help keep and maintain peace and order. China has leveled off, things are safe. Not to mention at its worse, it has been tough for elderly 70-75 and older and anyone with pre-existing medical conditions. Not the normally healthy.

My Uber driver here in St Louis said they had their confirmed case happen recently. The girl was an exchange student abroad in Italy. She is completely healthy and thriving now.

There is a lot of people way off base with their interpretation of what’s happening and a lot of very irresponsible people in the media, even if there was a level of action needed.

Exactly the way that I see this. At least in the States and will add that I have re-thought my Euro vacation this year.

If they're planning to play the entire next season without cutting games, they're going to have to cut elsewhere. Training camp, preseason, etc

Got a feeling they just call the season all together in a couple weeks. Sucks but the logistics on it are probably too much to overcome

they should be planning for things to be normal next year, thats way too far out to worry about. but lets figure out what we were doing the rest of this season first LOL

people seem to be oblivious to the fact that in a real contagion apocalypse you can wash your ass in the shower. There would be plenty of goods if people weren't hoarding like idiots. This is why price gouging laws are bad, gouging is good for supply

I’ve been traveling cross country for work since Tuesday early. I’m currently in the airport in St Louis and heading to Tampa before back to New York. I feel pretty normal as of right now. First leg of my trip was from Newark to San Diego.

Not sure what all of this means as of right now other than I’m in day 4 of what could potentially be a 2-14 day period where I’d see signs.

I also was in Orlando for an international trade show last month. I met plenty of people both domestic and foreign. I shook a lot of hands and was close to a lot of people. I haven’t felt anything close to sick yet. I think it would be fair to say I have had a pretty susceptible chance to be infected and thus sick but nothing yet.

edit - although I have no idea why you would be shaking hands with people this week.

Haha, I've heard people say that it's an old people activity. Either way, I didn't choose it.

So the media caused all this? lol

That is not really what he is saying at all.

Toilet paper won't save you from coronavirus. Please share so that others may wipe their ass.

Black Friday.

What a damn joke society is sometimes. Human race is so selfish and disturbing. Does not know how to band together and look out for each other.

I’d share toilet paper with my worst enemies on this board

FYI - hearing from congressional contacts that we see Trump announce a national, 30-day self-imposed quarantine this afternoon. At the very least, have it on your radars as a possibility for planning purposes.

Shelves were empty of all paper goods at Publix this morning. The medicine aisle however, was fully stocked. People are f***ing idiots.

Meats and frozen veggies too

Trader Joes is off the charts crazy.

Yesterday I saw an employee hoarding, she had a cart stacked two bags deep with stuff that was no longer on the shelves that she had put aside during the day and got a co-worker to open a register just for her at the end of the shift and avoid the 20 deep lines

Thank you for the info.

What is a self imposed quarantine?

 

[romba]

So the media caused all this? lol

I’m feeling pretty healthy too despite entering hospitals and the O/R daily yet I’m not ignorant enough to believe I may not be a carrier. The media is fickle and have quite a following yet I’m certainly not going to chalk mess as a figment of the media’s imagination. That would be pretty ignorant.

All these cancelations is to prevent the spread. A wide spread would result in both hospitals and Docs offices being overwhelmed. To think you were still shaking hands with people this week is comically irresponsible.

You quoted his post but seem to not have read it through.

Self imposed quarantine? aka shut everything down except non-essential services and groceries/pharmacies?
