OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

[LeafGm]

Got my test yesterday because I travelled to the U.S last week. Damn it's painful. That swab goes way up your nose.

Yeah, it's eye-watering, to say the least.

Where was the list of symptoms compared to the flu again. It showed headache and fever and Gastro issues coughing sneezing etc

Seems like a consistent one is loss of taste and smell.

Do you have symptoms?

I had some fatigue and a little bit of build up in my lungs. But it was my trip to the U.S that got me the test. They just called me back and asked me to go to the hospital right away. It was weird seeing the hospital so empty. They asked me questions by speaker phone in another room.

Mindzeye, liking the look of that post you're working on. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

I wonder if that has something to do with the abnormally low amount announced Sunday. That would help smooth out that increase a bit, because as a standalone, that's not great.

You were just inside me I'm guessing?

Lucky girl. I don't do that for just anyone.

Yeah there wasnt much of a count update yesterday. Hoping it was just a lazy/relaxing Sunday.

78 new cases today

Hopefully we don't run out of protective equipment for the healthcare workers. The Nurse's union has told Nurse's that they do not have to work if they do not have the protective gear. That would be bad for so many reasons..

Given the challenge to get tests done, and the delay in results, I feel like deaths are the only really informative metric at this point.

Is that a headline?

hospitalization rates as well
ICU rates
ventilator rates

But long term we need tons of quick tests or else we are all locked up for a year+

So it's still increasing at a stupid rate, just a less stupid rate. So their curve is starting to flatten.

Yeah. This is just the new normal until there is a vaccine, massive improvement in testing times, and anti virals for those who are infected. Society will move on if this turns into a new, slightly worse flu (like the mouth breathers were claiming a couple of weeks back).
