The Official Coronavirus Discussion

[playpunk]

All the N.Y. State Courts are closed, local justice and city courts are closed, I can't do in person visits with incarcerated clients, Fed Courts are screening everyone and taking temperatures: Erie County where the WDNY is located has a bunch of confirmed cases, and there are confirmed cases in a county whose jail I went into on Thursday last week.

I feel like I could have unwittingly spread the virus by just doing my normal work last week and I feel bad about it. As a nation and world wide community of humans we need to shut it down for a few weeks and get this thing under control

Can you give any more information regarding the treatment of incarcerated persons in re COVID-19? There's been a real absence of policy attention given to homeless and incarcerated populations (at least that I know of).

Over at my side of the pond, my company is also doing the same half-arsed commitment as the government (which has tightened things further as preventive measure) and is not sending non-production employees into home-office, but try to have a 50:50 solution. Who the *** cares about it, if my R&D project is delayed for 2 months or so? even if I'm in the office, all my cooperation partners that I heavily rely on, are shutting down and I have shit to do in the lab in a foreseeable future.

Went to Walmart to do my normal shopping and get some health related things.
They are now only open 6AM - 11PM.

this is funny. In Austria, shops are regularly open 7:30 - 19:30, so I don't see your complain

We just got back from the store and it's pretty rough. All the meats, eggs, butter, bread, 95% canned goods, 90% of cereals are cleaned out. Decent amount of chips, snacks, and cracker types available. Fresh produce is still rockin' and milk was stocked. Actually saw about a dozen containers of disinfectant wipes on the shelves. Still no paper products. Very strange to see, looked like a going out of business sale.

Paper towels were on yesterdays shopping list but the only ones left were some goofy brand I've never heard of.  I'd be better off drying my hands on the drapes.

But hey, I've got six rolls...

We're in day two of work from home and it has become clear that I am the caretaker. I've always been the caretaker.

Wife was working from home for two weeks b/c of the tornado. Now wife and child will be home for the next two weeks or longer from COVID. I'm considering going to the store and start licking the hands of strangers.

That cracked me up :-)

My university just announced that we'll be teaching online until further notice. All staff will be assigned work from home duties too. I expect that this will mean layoffs too.

Brazil had its first confirmed Covid-19 death today and we seem to be entering the exponential curve.
Next few months are gonna be really hard for us

I'm feeling pissed off at pictures of people enjoying Spring Break on crowded beaches. Seems so reckless and disrespectful.
Never thought I'd ever feel that way. 


There are now 5 people with positive test results in my city.

[MTK]

There aren't any confirmed cases in my city yet. My friend's bandmate got tested because he's feeling like ass with a fever, sore throat, and cough. His flu and strep tests came back negative. It's gonna be a few days before he gets the results back.
