My pharmacist friend just told me she dispensed medication to suspected cases (not tested not confirmed) to 20-30 patients daily. Her pharmacy allowed her to wear masks starting only a few days ago.

Italy 2.0.

Did you share meals with her?

Type O may be less likely to catch COVID-19 than type A.

I heard someone got caught by a cop and issued a misdemeanor for driving to a friendā€™s house one night in the bay area when everyone is supposed to be shelter-in-place.

has anyone actually confirmed these things? Iā€™ve heard about tickets too. Weā€™ve been driving around. I donā€™t understand why thats against the SIP orderā€¦ As long as you donā€™t get out of your car, itā€™s a good social distancing way to get out of the house. Plus our teenager is learning to drive, and itā€™s easier to teach him without the traffic.

Lockdown only started this week. You could have eaten with her last week or the week before.

:scream:

I could have spat in your takeout last week too :smiling_imp:

Finally a benefit of being a universal donor (Iā€™m O+ and have given so many pints of blood. Finally some karmic balance)

Thatā€™ll teach Manch to freak out at youā€¦

Getting back to your pharmacist friendā€“why canā€™t she just wear a mask ā€œjust because she feels like itā€?

I mean, I guess itā€™s not covered under religious head-coverings, but I donā€™t get why youā€™d be stopped from doing it. Plus in many hospitals you have to wear a mask if you donā€™t get a flu vaccine.

Do you get spammed by emails non-stop? I get emails asking me to donate again, and Iā€™ll be entered in raffles for iPads, MacBook pros, and even a new car. Itā€™s insane. I donate whenever itā€™s at the church down the street which clearly isnā€™t often enough. Itā€™s actually how I found out my resting pulse was over 100 when I worked at amazon. I got rejected to donate twice. After the first time, I switched teams thinking that would solve it. The second time is when I realized I needed to leave.

Have you checked if you have Atrial Fibrilation?

Apple Watch monitors your pulse regularly.

Nope. My doctor wasnā€™t even concerned either. I changed companies and it went back to normal.

It had to do with crossing county lines
