We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I don't have a thermometer. I have been coughing and my throat itches. I slept all day yesterday.
wouldnt be shocked if there are rules that prevent full wfh for government employees.
You should call a health care provider, preferably your primary but failing that an urgent care, for instructions
My sister is in that camp. She was laid off today. :-(
Right now? Their best option is to file for unemployment benefits.
my coworker is on vacation in vegas.....lol......man, i wonder how much all this is going to affect him coming home in a couple days
I guess it depends on the industry and if you are still being paid, but are you not expected to do some kind of work? or no?
I work in a print shop so there's lots I cannot do, but I also do some graphic work so it will be interesting to see what they expect of me. Shop is down to only 3 or so people having to come in (may change). I'm currently off as my son was just born so I was off this coming week anyways.
Yeah that is so fucking useless. I'm surprised my job is not putting things on halt or anything, work from home requires you to get a doctor's note to work for home. Even then if they were to do a deep cleaning of the building won't matter because someone can test positive and it would spread.
???
I would really, really, really rather not have to have a discussion around the ethics of "lifting restrictions" when it comes to human experimentation.
Not wrong at all. It's correct. It will still take a year after suddenly starting a trial tomorrow. Need to go through the entire spectrum of safety measures and tests to make sure healthy people getting the vaccine dont have negative effects. That testing takes months just for that aspect.
Honestly at this point, they should almost just be totally seized. I know that's rough, but no one has time or energy for this.
Its a complete "Whoa is me" response, at the expense of people's lives. A purposely unintelligent response.
My mother turned 70 today and is one month removed from hip surgery. My father has a bum hip of his own and dealing with shingles on top of it. I would welcome a shutdown... especially with new COVID-19 cases cropping up in my region over the weekend from people who haven't travelled out of the country.
With Covid even masks are barely functional to protect others from yourself. Standard surgical or material masks are largely ineffective, n95 masks are more effective but rarely fitted correctly.
That's not to say people shouldn't wear them if ill but it doesn't significantly reduce risk of transmission. Covid-19 can be transmitted via breath not just coughing so masks are less effective with finer particles.
If you're sick, stay away from everyone is the only truly effective measure.
It's the contractors. The FTEs are already doing the 3 day in/3 day wfh useless rotation. The contractors keep being told that the company is still working out "contractual obligations" with the government. They're just slow-walking this thing and it's infuriating.
Okay, try to call your doctor he might be easier to rich to get info.
But still try to think, have you gone to any place during the last 2 weeks with a lot of people gathering?
Please, take care, try to drink a lot of water for your throat, keep yourself warm and hydrated (since you are sweating and don't continue to wear your clothes if they're wet!)
Keep us informed, also where do you live, America if yes which state ? We could maybe find something with you while you try reaching your doctor.
Stay inside, avoid contact with other people. If you have a fever that gets out of control or the difficulty breathing gets serious then go to the hospital.
If you don't need medical care, leaving your house to get tested will just expose you to others. Act as if you have it even if you may not.
I'm in the film and TV industry in NYC and the local union is already going on hiatus and shutting down all union productions.
I'm only getting paid for this week. I will ask about the rest of next month, but I doubt it.
Sounds like in my city you won't get tested unless you have underlying conditions and are really old. That's bullshit.
Kansas City just banned groups of 50 or more for eight weeks. And just like that, three wedding obligations just disappeared.
Pittsburgh, PA here...we have been ordered to close all non-essential businesses and stop restaurants from dining in for two weeks. Crazy times. It's going to be quiet in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Ah. Hopefully this is true. We are definitely not flattening the curve.
ah ok. Well good luck. My sister-in-law is a film director/freelancer and her husband is a video editor so I know they are going to be struggling soon. They are out in LA.
I work at a university so as far as I know I will continue to be paid for as long as I'm off. I feel really lucky.
As someone with a compromised immune system, those whole thing has made more aware how stupid people are seemingly incapable of traveling long distances to get into your personal space. Like I was looking at something in the frozen food aisle and this woman comes across and walks through the small gap between me and the glass door, instead of just walking behind me. At work, a guy selects the urinal right next mine, even though there are about 7 others he could have gone to, and lets out a big yawn.
Yep, I just got word to WFH until the situation changes.
I would love to switch spots with my parents (both 60+). I'm so scared for them, since they work with lots of people.
The daily briefing with Pence was pretty frustrating how they're trying to be like "We have to focus on healthcare workers and those who are sick"
Which is true. But all I heard was a distraction from the fact that we are weeks behind having tests ready, and we need to be doing millions of tests, starting a week ago.
In comparison to that:
Germany 5813 cases and 13 deaths.
or
France 5423 cases and 127 deaths.
I'm not sure what you are trying to get at here. No country is going to let an unproven vaccine be unleashed to the public outside of small trials.
To start, my SO works for a company who manufacturers vaccines and we are both scientists in the pharmaceutical industry so please don't lecture me on what the hold ups with vaccine production are.
Anyone can start a trial. There's a long way to go before it finishes, which is what I said in my previous post. How long do you have to monitor patients before you can safely say they aren't going to contract the virus? How long until you can see that they've developed no side effects?
Oh and then do it all over again with a larger group of patients.
If that works then maybe you can start manufacturing the vaccine on a large scale. Which is rate limited by biological processes we simply cannot overcome.
I'm just trying to say don't get you hopes up for something in the next several months.
It's because the virus has different stage, what he got is the first stage.

That's why it's super important to not gather in group because first the virus is highly contagious, second it has different stage that people can end or stay in and that's why there is confinement because of these very different stage.
Why do some people become such a$$holes during a crisis like this. This just makes me so f'n angry.
Couple buys entire meat section at supermarket, leaves nothing

And just to add to this, even if it's not THE virus, it is a virus of somekind which will be contagious. Heath systems do not need any additional stress right now so making sure you don't infect anyone with anything is really important.
If you've got no sick days you're going to have to communicate that with your employer and work something out.
It's normal to do the stuff 2 times to weed out false positive, at least for other diseases, with the very low testing capabilities of some nation who known.
There it is. Damn. So entertainment and recreational facilities. Is that gyms?
I have a 38 fever tonight and a mild sore throat...no other symptoms but not a good feeling. Haven't been out since Monday morning but have handled deliveries. I think we've been careful to wash our hands and things, so it's probably a false alarm, but still. I wish I lived alone, I don't want to have to worry about my wife and kid so much.

>> Even though Suarez has the virus and could spread it around through social contact, he wouldn't know he had it if it weren't the publicized positive test of Fabio Wajngarten, press secretary to Brazilian President Jair Boslonaro. Wajngarten and Suarez were all in the same room on two occasions on March 9.
He's past day 3.
It can depend on the test as well (I think). The first HIV test is an antibody test, which can have false positives. So if that test comes back positive, a confirmation test is done which actually tests for the virus itself. I have no idea the types of tests they're using for this.
