My friend who has had the symptoms for over 2 weeks just got her results… Negative. But her doctor said the test is only 85% accurate. Therefore all this testing has limited value. Assume you are positive and everyone else is too. That’s all one can do.

if locking up don’t work then it’s pretty much the end of the world.
Question is , what’s next, re-open everything and crazy young ppl re-spreading or wait until all gone before opening up. but how do you confirm all negative? test everyone?

Weather effect? It’s warm and humid down in New Orleans now and curve seems to be flattening.

:+1:

Wear masks, where can I buy 3M N95 masks?

The suggestion is ā€œflattening the curveā€, there is no end :slight_smile: What they mean is ā€œreduce the peakā€ but quietly omitted mentioning the long tail :sob: Can open up at the point where healthcare system can manage.

From a former nurse

If you want to be Extra Cautious, wear a scarf or bandana over your mask. Unless you’re a hospital worker or otherwise, you probably have never been properly fitted/gas tested. Masks actually come in different sizes.
If you want to test, light a match when you’re wearing it. Wave the match to put it out. Can you smell the smoke?

Wear extra clothes when shopping. Wear cloth gloves.

Shed the clothes and scarf/bandana before entering your home.

With cloth gloves on, sanitize your packaged items with Lysol, diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Produce you may soak in soapy water. Salt water bursts only bacteria not viruses.

Sanitize every handle you’ve touched. Fridge, cabinet etc. When spraying surfaces, wait several seconds before wiping up, give the cleaning solution time to do its work.

Put gloves in sun or put with pile of clothes you took off.

Then straight to shower

And Nap.

This sh*t is exhausting!

San Francisco Mayor London Breed said at a Monday press conference the shelter-in-place order set to expire on April 7 has been extended to May 1.

Expect it to be Bay Area wide. SF schools already announced they will close until May 1. Realistically schools are done for the rest of school year.

The way things are looking to me, there is a fairly good chance the corona virus will stop being the first page news in the next few weeks. And it may be out as headline news in daily news cycle in a few weeks after that. The presidential nominees want the spot light back on them. Interesting to see how it turns out , or how close do I get in predicting this.

my collegue’s friend died of covid in phillipine. below 60

Same DCB ! The same answer after 10 days too.

It is like my friend calling me every two hours ā€œis bottom doneā€ whenever he sees S&P up !
If you feel comfortable with the bottom, feel free to plunge, but not me near time.

I am happily enjoying whatever I made this year, no FOMO, no looking back until S&P touches 2000 !
