Atrial fibrillation
ictus = seizure or stroke?
Ipertensione arteriosa = Hypertension
Diabete mellito = Diabetes
Demenza = Dementia
BPCO = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) <- can be from smoking
Cancer with 5 years left?

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 friend’s house one night in the bay area when everyone is supposed to be shelter-in-place.

has anyone actually confirmed these things? I’ve heard about tickets too. We’ve been driving around. I don’t understand why thats against the SIP order… As long as you don’t get out of your car, it’s a good social distancing way to get out of the house. Plus our teenager is learning to drive, and it’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 (I’m O+ and have given so many pints of blood. Finally some karmic balance)

That’ll teach Manch to freak out at you…

Getting back to your pharmacist friend–why can’t she just wear a mask ā€œjust because she feels like itā€?

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

Do you get spammed by emails non-stop? I get emails asking me to donate again, and I’ll be entered in raffles for iPads, MacBook pros, and even a new car. It’s insane. I donate whenever it’s at the church down the street which clearly isn’t often enough. It’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 wasn’t even concerned either. I changed companies and it went back to normal.

Oooof.

Guess we’re heading towards China lockdown

It had to do with crossing county lines
