I'm the same i'm not particularly frightened, i'm not going to sit at home with the curtains drawn, peeking out at the world lol.

They know not everyone will but most will and it will help stop the spread.

They sent out something similar here.
Anyone with the high risk the CDC put out can submit medical paperwork and request to work from home.

Problem is 99% of those people dont have their laptops setup to work from home and right now our IT staff is getting slammed on trying to process all those request!

Why? Cause management 90 days ago DID NOT have to "pre telework" all the laptops like some of us suggested they do.

Already work from home 2 days a week, so I don't have the problem. We just need a VPN connection and we're good to go. Team Viewer for meetings, which we have sufficient seats for. Calls can already be routed with the PBX software we use.

Damn. Apparently my last restaurant meal was a Baconator from Wendy's yesterday. If I'd have known, I probably would've gone to a steakhouse!

I feel the same way! Should have made the rounds to my favorite restaurants over the weekend. We don't go out often, but we're due... I'm gonna get even more sick of cooking/dishes! The good news, we can start cooking outdoors more, now that the weather is getting a little better.

Thanks for the links in the closures. Gonna be a run on liquor stores now

Carry out is still available.

For all those who appreciated my posts thank you.

From this point forward I will only be posting links to studies.

I do not think it is healthy any longer to drown myself in news of deaths and new restrictions.

That is what I feel most news will be.
Tonight alone I have read about Police,First responders,and Nurses being confirmed as positive.At the one nursing home in WA out of 78 who transported patients to hospitals 62 are now positive.
A nurse just died at 32 in New York today,with no pre-existing conditions. His death hit home fairly hard for me as I had followed them on twitter since they where admitted 11 days ago and wondered why they did no update today.

So I will report the science only from this point forward. Do not drown yourself in this. It will be ugly for some time,but we will survive. I hope we come out of this in better shape as a country than we are going into it.

Now for the good news.
The first good news I have heard in awhile.



Government official: Coronavirus vaccine trial starts Monday 3/16/2020 in Seattle.

I cannot find any official channels stating that James Cai passed away. Has this been verified?

Doubt they'll be allowing carry out of mixed drinks lol. I was talking specifically about your basic tavern being closed

Most of the bars in my area don't serve much in the way of food and what little they do sell, I doubt will enough to justify staying open

 

[Bennettjh]

Link?

Yes. Didn't think to post it.

First Bartholomew County coronavirus case confirmed for patient at CRH

 

[Cldedhnds]

I received a call 15 ago to determine if my elective surgery scheduled for Wednesday could be pushed out. If your calling me concerned to push it out you better believe I’m fine with it!

 

[SwikLS]

I was going to vote in the Dem primary to help Bernie stay in the race and because I didn't think Holcomb could be beaten, but now I am definitely voting in the Republican primary. (against Holcomb of course)

What if the cook is sick and coughs on your food?
U wanna run that risk?

What if the stocker at the grocery store coughed on your box of Cocoa Pebbles?

Pee on it first, sterilized before consuming, thank me later.

So, this effectively puts me out of business, is the .gov gonna make up for the lost revenue?

James Cai is a PA in New Jersey.

Couldn't find any news on a nurse in New York dying
