Honestly, it has varied by state.

Sounds like you need a doctor's note to get tested up here in Alaska.

Pretty much here too. My doctor has to refer me. Those without doctors can call a number and be evaluated by phone or facetime basically.

So, not only our PM, but our Health Minister is confirmed positive and the chief medical officer is showing the symptoms.

 

[R0H1T]

I wonder if leaders the world over are ignoring the signs, even mild symptoms, of nCoV infection. Not such a good time to be a politician not to mention those in the medical field

Well, here's what happens when the system is overloaded and can no longer cope:

Italy recorded a record 969 deaths today, bringing the total for Italian Covid-19 related deaths to 9134. But under all that is a pretty sad number: 46 doctors have died since the outbreak. The infection is slowing but there's a lag with deaths and the hospitals can't cope. UK also had it's highest climb in deaths today.

Same deal here. We're a snowbird town. Many New Yorkers have winter homes here because it's cheaper and more remote. Usually it starts getting too hot for em around April... but instead of getting ready to go, they brought relatives/friends down. Insane amount of NY plates. Most of the snowbirds keep vehicles registered to FL here. Seeing all of those yellow plates here is pretty weird.

Also interesting to see pretty much exclusively them on the roads... considering they don't live here and thus aren't going to work. Why are they out and about so much more?

Another general observation... hate to be that guy but they really are inconsiderate in general. I mean... it's not thier hometown so what do they care? The sentiment shows. People from here are proud of thier communities... things are different when the other folks go back home.

Because as usual, the rules don't apply to you (the royal you, not you). Your home state gets locked down so you come down here and spread all your shit around. Half of them flew through the airports which are nothing but cesspools on a good day. The rest of them huffed it down in the cars. Our governor even said if you are coming in from out of state then you need to quarantine for two weeks to prevent all the knuckle heads from doing what they are doing. Again, thanks a bunch. Don't forget to yell at your TV for what a terrible job everyone else is doing.

But I digress. Really, it is unavoidable. There is a very good chance that everyone in the US will be exposed to it anyway. I just really thought this would bring everybody together much like 9/11 but I guess that is too much ask. Apparently, we need to stay partisan and self serving.

This is in no way a personal attack, rather, I found something tragic in that statement. It demonstrates how terrible humanity is that it requires a disaster to bring us together. We should be united regardless; after all, we share the same rocky home and breath the same free air.

It's just a shame, that's all, that our petty differences prise us apart.

 

[hat]

I'm sure someone could chime in about tribalism, or herd mentality or somesuch... when there's no threat, we have business as usual... but when there's a common threat that threatens to affect all of us, the petty shit gets pushed aside until the threat is removed... and then we can go back to being petty. Some survival mechanic or somesuch, I'm sure...

 

[rtwjunkie]

I know Texas just said anyone who flies in from New Orleans must quarantine for two weeks. This is what happens when nobody wants to stop the 50 governors from making their own rules.

I agree with you 100%.

I don't have a problem with the quarantining if you are traveling in. What bothers me is that these people were told to stay at home unless you have to do something essential. Travelling to your second home that does not have a stay-at-home order is not essential. It is even worse when you are bringing the germs with you. It is even worse worse when you then turn around and criticize others for their handling of the issue when you can't follow basic instructions.

NOTE: All references to 'you' are royal.

 

[lsevald]

In Norway you are not allowed to sleep over in your second home/cabin now because the local health care there isn't scaled for the extra people that might get sick.

I agree totally. I just pointed it out because we are not on one sheet of music. We have 50 standards going on right now instead of one. Dang Florida at least up until recently didnt even have one set of rules for the state, letting each municipality set the restrictions. That is no way to fight a pandemic.

 

[Caring1]

.... assuming people are not being selfish.

Sorry had to laugh at this, because, human nature.

 

[Gmr_Chick]

Apparently they don't because people under lockdown aren't listening. Looking at you California, Washington, and New York. In fact, all the New Yorkers are coming to my area and spreading the shit. Causing our local amenities to get locked down etc. Thank You for caring about others.

Totally sounds like my brother-in-law, lol. I'm in California, and the state is basically under a blanket "shelter-in-place" order (only essential things like buying food, medicine, etc. are allowed). My sister has had lung problems all her life (bronchitis, pneumonia), my mom is 65 with a couple underlying medical conditions, but she still thinks her immune system is a healthy 20 years old... So what does the f#$ktard go and do? He INVITES his friend from work over to the house for dinner and watching some MMA fight! I was so damn pissed. I was the only one though -- nobody else seemed to really care. I stayed in my room the entire time the guy was here. I don't know about my family sometimes. I worry about them, but they just tell me to stop "being so paranoid"

Smuggled pangolins were carrying viruses closely related to the one sweeping the world, say scientists.

That is...one of the ugliest creatures I've ever seen!

I dunno, sometimes I feel local as possible is best. What works for one area may not work the others. I don't really know what to make of this as the pain is coming. That said, I didn't need my beach closed because jerks from other states can't be bothered to do their part.

I don't necessarily have a problem with a friend or two. It is good for the brain to keep some normalcy but it is tough to know where the line needs to be drawn.

Except....The beach is going to close anyway. This thing transmits like nobody’s business. And it’s made worse when every area has different enforcement, allowing people to carry the disease everywhere.

The people like this coming to Gmr_Chick’s house not taking things seriously are who allow the transmissions we have seen at the high rate. I put up with those types up until last Friday at my workplace, hanging out in the lunch room carrying on as if there is no disease, and getting into my 6 foot personal space constantly. So I get why @Gmr_Chick is upset at people coming over and breaking the crucial isolation.

I know, see at work all the time. Everyone is only concerned with themselves no one else matters except me.

Well, here's what happens when the system is overloaded and can no longer cope:

Italy recorded a record 969 deaths today, bringing the total for Italian Covid-19 related deaths to 9134. But under all that is a pretty sad number: 46 doctors have died since the outbreak. The infection is slowing but there's a lag with deaths and the hospitals can't cope. UK also had it's highest climb in deaths today.

Italy's measures HAVE worked, but only to some extent: they brought the exponential growth down and, instead of doubling the number of cases in roughly 5 days, they now double them in roughly 13 days: while that's a big improvement, it STILL means there's something amiss and, despite all the measures they took, this bloody virus is STILL spreading.

The only way they'll manage to bring the deaths down significantly is to have plenty of ventilators AND medical workers to spare: right now, they have neither because a significant amount of medical workers have caught this virus themselves, thus REDUCING their "combat force" and, as we all know, they are in dire need of more ventilators, as is pretty much every single country that is being hit hard by this virus.

Yesterday i said Portugal had roughly 1500 ventilators, right? According to what was on a Portuguese news channel about 30 minutes ago, we actually have a grand total of ... 1142 ventilators ...

Portugal has ordered 500 ventilators but i have no idea when they'll arrive


Since most countries except China have implemented "lighter" measures than Italy and Italy's measures aren't working fast enough for Italy, it's bound to not work for other countries either

We NEED to change the way we're approaching this !!!

Luckily, he invited just a single friend. And I understand you... its the principle of it, and being protective of the family.

I went to the local grocery store today to buy some food for the weekend. On the way, I saw a bunch of lowlifes having beer at the park. Normally, I just ignore these "kinds", and mind my own business. This time however, I tried to provoke them passively (eyeballed), with no response what so ever

Depending on the neighborhood in California or else where you might just get shot.

I agree with you and disagree with you at the same time. A friend of mine's wife has lupus so I try to be extra careful with them and really try to abide by their wishes. It's just not worth it. But my wife and I run with a little more leeway. We talked with my wife's parents who are older and all agreed to just keep distance. My parents don't care as much so we go to the park and stuff. Anything else is a game time decision.

Unfortunately this was bound to happen. The good news however, the odds are strongly in they're favor.

Yes, that kind of people. Unfortunately, I look like a jacked up middle eastern, and also carried several water tanks with a single arm. If there is one thing 'gangstas' are afraid of, is terrorists.

They have no business hanging in a park near my house on a regular day and definitely not during COVID-19 lockdown. That pisses me off.

Just be careful, Is all.

Was just reading the news about a "Hit Up" yesterday at a park, left 1 dead.
