Well it just hit home. I just got a text from my oldest daughter 33 that she is home sick with a fever, sore throat, cough, and fatigue. She can't get a test because she is in the low risk factor and she is a nurse.

I would think nurses would get tested faster. Best wishes for her recovery!!!

My girlfriend suggested I order more medication and not just wait till I have a week's supply like I normally do. It never dawned on me to do that. So far today calling Walmart pharmacy gets a "system problem" message saying they cannot take calls. I doubt it is a glitch. Anyway a heads up to anyone who needs meds on a monthly basis, people might be hoarding those also.

Sorry to hear that, she went from a nice employment opportunity to sick at the drop of a hat, that freakin sucks.

Without fail I probably rub my nose with the back of my hand 10 times an hour.

I’m telecommuting most days, some days I have to go into the office to run meetings, hoping for fewer of those because I work at a hospital.

Our area is generally taking this extremely seriously, Philadelphia and western suburbs.

At the hospital we are preparing for medical Armageddon. We’ve doubled the number of ventilators and biPap machines, and we’ve stopped admitting patients for elective surgeries.

There’s a delay from the time you contract this thing to when symptoms show up. So the explosive growth in cases is probably coming from the days just prior to when we started social distancing. Two weeks from now the curve should begin to flatten. But I don’t think the poor urban areas will flatten much, those folks just don’t have the resources to be able to stay away from others well enough. Stocking up isn’t an option when you’ve got no money.

This will be an extremely trying time in our lives, I wish you all the best as you seek to cope with it.

I'm on remote status for a while it seems, especially with NYS policies now.

Schneed I 2nd that, we have never seen anything like this (I haven't atleast) , we can all learn and grow from this virus.

The US numbers are about to skyrocket with expanded testing. I saw one report, sorry no link, that it will be about 2 more weeks before we have any clue how the strategies have been working. All I know is that every time I go to see my mom, who is by herself, I worry I will somehow have contracted it and give it to her. :(
