COVID-19

andthen · #1 03-31-2020, 08:32 AM

I'm glad to hear your mom is finally feeling a bit better. Yes my husband mentioned a co-worker of his had a cough and overall not feeling well. Sort of similar symptoms of what others here have described. Granted at the time his co-worker was feeling crappy getting tested would have taken an act of God. He said the co-worker came back today after being home for nearly 3 weeks (mind you part of that time the hubs job was closed for a few days). So now my husband is wondering if his co-worker did in fact have COVID-19.

Also since I want to start the day off with gratitude, I am grateful for those who are still out there and working keeping people fed, getting supplies transported, and of course all of the healthcare workers caring for the sick under some very difficult circumstances that none of us have encountered to this point.

People need to grow a brain cell and stay the fuck at home.

In Maryland, we don't have 100% shutdown, going out hiking in the county parks is fine as long as you keep to the 6 foot rule. My wife and I geocache, which means not only are we on the trails, sometimes we are off of them to the middle of nowhere looking for things at specific lat/long coordinates. OTOH, some of the geocache locations have been shutdown if they are at high traffic areas like playgrounds.

Two brain cells. Something needs to keep the first brain cell company.

Stay the fuck at home, y'all.

They’re doing enforcement here. While I’m usually not a big fan of involving police unless necessary, people won’t stop so I can completely understand in this instance. I see convoys of sheriff’s vehicles going around.

Hi all, just wanted to share this as I know in this post some had posted that they may have had symptoms consistent with COVID-19 although it wasn't necessarily confirmed through testing. There is a study looking for volunteers through the National Institutes of Health of people who may have had COVID-19 although did not get a confirmed diagnosis.

Disclaimer, I don't work for the NIH, although I do work for HHS but I'm not involved in this study in anyway. Just sharing so that hopefully they can get a good sampling of individuals and in the hopes that more can be learned to find something effective to combat this illness that has taken so many lives and impacted others. If you're interested I've posted the link with more information.
