I think some of the best posters on this forum are in the high risk group. It would be a shame for any of them to die because young healthy people aren't worried about getting sick but being broke. Rant over

Absolutely. Unfortunately the current generations are selfish and spoiled.
 
Nobody in recent memory has had to deal with anything like this and its rookie hour and it shows. So one of the people at my wife's retirement center had been at a wake county hospital for an elective surgery and was doing rehab there. With no details the woman comes back to the retirement center and is placed in isolation because that hospital had someone test positive.

Was this lady directly exposed? Was this lady just being placed on droplet precautions to be safe? They brought her in the front door and down the hall to isolation room but still exposed everyone there to woman when they wheeled her in. The staff at the retirement center have no clue and the wake county health dept really didn't communicate much. Rookie hour is here.
 
I think most older people might generally be stubborn. If my grandpa was around, not sure what he'd be saying to this but probably more than my dad (think I've said this here before but he used to be a doctor), but my mom was on the phone with my last grandparent on this earth. Sweet lady, fairly significant health risk (outside of allergies most of her actual problems aren't exactly respiratory but some health problems can hit her hard and have landed her in the hospital before, although more recently, it's been mostly quiet there outside of a few ER trips), but her response initially to the idea that us going up to La Fayette, GA might be in doubt around Easter/her birthday was a lot more on the line of...

"Hopefully you guys get to come because I want to see y'all!"

Well, unless Kemp puts in "shelter in place" (because Walker County likely won't as this county is either rural or small towns and so far our county hasn't either), we will go regardless, but we know it's "somewhat" in doubt.

Under federal law (HIPAA), they're not allowed to divulge health info about specific individuals.

I found it interesting that he didn't feel it was necessary to issue a statewide order for closing of restaurants and bars as of now. He's leaving it to cities/counties to do so depending on their local situations/whether or not they're already a hot spot. Is that a good way to handle?

Our governor finally made it a state mandate today.

I get that but general info would be useful. "Hey this lady shared a hall with someone who we thought had the flu but had cover-19".......that alone tells them everything they SHOULD know about this lady they just wheeled into a nursing home......this is how nursing homes get effected.
 
It cut off the first one.

All of those test results from NY are coming back. Over 4,000 new US cases today with over 2,000 in NY.

So we are seeing the cases we suspected were here. Now we need to boil down severe cases and hospitlaztion rates to see where we are headed in overwhelming potential when it comes to our HC system.

I think that's what they're doing here in South Carolina.. the Mount Pleasant mayor where I live just said no than 10 people in one area at any time. I think restaurants and bars are closed
 
We have closed our daycare for two weeks. We hope to be able to reopen on April 6. Best we can tell, there has been wide-spread exposure across our entire facility (that's about all I can about that for now). We sent our staff home with pay for two weeks. In the meantime, we are praying that no one else connected to the daycare will become sick.

USA TODAY analysis: America's coronavirus 'curve' may be at its most dangerous point

The U.S. will soon find out whether it's likely to be the next South Korea or Italy or China when it comes to the new coronavirus crisis.
www.usatoday.com

A data analysis by USA TODAY finds that, two weeks after the U.S. first entered into community transmission on March 3, America’s trajectory is trending toward Italy’s, where circumstances are dire. U.S. officials are sounding the alarm, urging Americans to heed what federal, state and local officials are asking of them in order to curtail the spread and dampen the impact of the virus on the U.S. population.

Keep in mind how few we are actually testing.

Not quite where we want to be. As we often say around here model watching that line "better start to eject east a lot more quickly" or we are in trouble
 
California governor says 25 million residents could be infected over the next two months. If only ten percent of that number is sick there will be big problems.
 
I find it very troubling that in our Gov PC he said he has asked the individual counties/cities what they want him to do regarding closing bars and other establishments, but I read earlier in a PC with Trump and other Gov. our Gov was advising Trump to let the States control the rollout of the NG. So He can’t make his own decisions in Hid state, but is telling the President how to do certain things. No I don’t want to see businesses hurt, but it’s been clear the path today has been Gov of other states stepping up and shutting things down to try and contain this virus. Only thing our Gov has done is shut down schools.

I’m so surprised by all the traffic on the roads still. People are antsy and just going out to go out. Groups of teens and young kids are hanging out playing everywhere. Very little social distancing.

I really think we need to restrict non essential travel to healthcare workers, grocery and pharmacy shopping. This order can only come down from the highest office....“Guidance” and “recommendations” aren’t working. People simply aren’t staying home.

My biggest battle is that other parents are allowing their teenagers to go hang out at the lake or other peoples houses. My high school junior does not understand why I won’t let him.

Ah Wake county
 
Richard Burr was kind enough to let a few of his best donors know this virus would be like the Spanish flu in the second week of February. He and his friends sold all their stock in hotels and other business he knew would be in trouble way before the public was made aware of the severity of the situation. Nothing to see here, keep your 401k for the Long haul it will come back eventually. Meanwhile he and I'm sure most politicians cashed out before we knew the problem was here.

Close up of President @realDonaldTrump notes is seen where he crossed out "Corona" and replaced it with "Chinese" Virus as he speaks with his coronavirus task force today at the White House. #trump #trumpnotes

Frontal lobes aren’t developed.

No matter what you tell a teen about social distancing, if you let them go hang out together and they promise over and over...there will still be pictures of them wrestling or taking selfies together. They just don’t get it right now and you can’t blame them, they’re kids. People need to understand you have to protect your children!

You know how you can tell that you have ethnic heritage?

White white women get offended for you.
