Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 1 hour ago, haithman said: Yeah we will figure it out, and obviously people are going through much worse (illness, death, etc.) You could always go ahead and get married (courthouse) and reschedule the event/gathering to a later date. Even have the ceremony, preacher, vows, etc. if necessary. Or just have the reception portion later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 The thought of homeless children just crushes me, and to know they could have to spend days even more hungry than usual is so much worse. Jeez, sometimes sadness is just so overwhelming. 😥 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Dublin cancels St Patrick's Day parade Dublin has canceled its St. Patrick’s Day parade amid concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, which has been diagnosed in 21 Irish patients thus far. The cancellation of the March 17 parade, the largest in Ireland, comes the same day two more cases were confirmed in the country, the BBC reported, citing Irish broadcaster RTÉ. Cork, which hosts the second-largest parade in Ireland, attracting up to 50,000 people, will also cancel its parade, according to the BBC.

Larry Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Quote Officials in NYC said they would close public schools only as last resort, in part because about 114,000 students in school system are homeless and may have nowhere else to get hot meals, medical care or even a place to wash their dirty laundry” Keep them open, and use most of the classrooms as quarantine locations?

Bacon Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) With all the bored couples having sex during the quarantine and all the elderly passing away from COVID-19, the national average age in Italy is going to drop so fast.

Is it 3-5 days like an average cold, or am I gonna be bedridden for a week, or what are we dealing with? More like 2-4 weeks http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/02/some-covid-19-patients-test-positive-days-after-recovery Quote RT-PCR results of the patients, two men and two women aged 30 to 36 years, were positive, and CT scans showed mild to moderate areas of fluid buildup. The patients were given antiviral medication and recovered 12 to 32 days after symptom onset. After meeting the criteria for hospital release or lifting of quarantine, the patients were asked to remain at home for another 5 days. But this is for people who required hospitalization. I think < 20% of the cases required hospitalization. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/02/study-72000-covid-19-patients-finds-23-death-rate Quote A total of 81% of cases in the JAMA study were classified as mild, meaning they did not result in pneumonia or resulted in only mild pneumonia. Fourteen percent of cases were severe (marked by difficulty breathing), and 5% were critical (respiratory failure, septic shock, and/or multiple organ dysfunction or failure).

China Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 And in local news... Hundreds exposed to church rector with coronavirus urged to quarantine; new case reported in Arlington A third case of coronavirus in Northern Virginia was announced Monday, shortly after D.C. officials urged hundreds of Christ Church, Georgetown attendees to self-quarantine because of their exposure to the Rev. Timothy Cole, the church rector, who is the city’s first known coronavirus patient. Cole, who first became sick after returning from a Feb. 22 conference of Episcopal leaders in Louisville, tested positive for coronavirus Saturday and is quarantined at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in stable condition. Cole oversaw multiple services on March 1, attended by a total of 550 people, the church has said. He provided Communion at the 11:15 a.m. services. Church officials said he appeared healthy that day and had been regularly washing his hands. But he had been ill in late February. The Virginia Department of Health said their latest confirmed case is a 60-something resident of Arlington County who developed fever, cough and shortness of breath after an international trip.

Not only that, but if you're not working, you're not paying any taxes to get relief from.

Fergasun Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 We have 1 confirmed case in our county. Waiting to see if it explodes to 100 or so in the next 2 weeks.... if so they will shut things down. If it stays to a handful will feel better. Feels like there is a lot of panic out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
