Just reheat the food and wash your hands. This isn't t-virus
That's what I'm wondering.
I'm in Seattle hoping other states are seeing what happened here and what we're doing. I hope they're following suit.
I have an improv class that I do every week and today was the last day of Term 2 and we were supposed to start term 3 in 2 weeks but It has been post posted until further notice,y my job is taking huge cleaning precautions but I think it's only a matter of time before the store closes.
Okay, just one thing avoid any anti-inflammatory med if possible. A recent study say it may worsen your condition if you really have the virus
Anti-inflammatories may aggravate Covid-19, France advises
French minister says patients should take paracetamol rather than ibuprofen or cortisonewww.theguardian.com
Our ministry of health shared this info this week-end.
Please, take care. Keep yourself warm, hydrated and change clothes when you can.
If you feel you can't do it anymore then stop, don't force yourself, your health is more important.
Because of my kidney diseases, I'm unable to take ibuprofen any more. I wouldn't be shocked at all if that's true. I'm unable to take any sort of anti inflammatory medication.
Then where does it end? What about your mail? What about the water supply? Amazon shipping?
I would think pizza is the best thing you could order right now, because you can just throw it in the oven for five minutes and destroy any viral particles that may have gotten onto it after it was cooked originally.
I went on a walk on a relatively unused but excellent nature trail today. Anything busy is a crapfest, but just being outside and getting exercise helps SO much with well-being and if there isn't other people around you're not doing an activity to spread the illness.
...what are we doing?
I mean, I'm in Seattle too and all I see are shops open, people in the streets at all times, restaurants full and people partying on Friday night.
Most big companies "highly recommend" working from home, and we canceled big gatherings of more than 250 people... but I don't think it's nearly enough. I'm very afraid this is going to explode soon :(
(Not trying to be aggressive with the question, I am genuinely curious if I have missed other precautions that are being taken by the state. I mostly see companies doing stuff)
Guy guys have no idea how unpopular Trump is in Germany but this news story did not go over well here, like at all:
www.theguardian.com
It should be impossible to govern America worse than James Buchanan (the civil war guy right before Lincoln) but Trump may trump him too if he gets another 4 years.
Coronavirus: anger in Germany at report Trump seeking exclusive vaccine deal
Ministers and MPs criticise display of ‘self-interest’ and accuse US president of electioneering

Generally, if it's hot enough to eat, it's not hot enough to kill virus, so one advice is to reheat it for 2 minute in a oven at over 69 degree
Clean and wipe your mail and package before opening it, cook your water before drinking?
It's not that difficult to practice safe habit.
Generally, mail and package can be safe, but if the person delivering has it, it can stay on there.
I hope you aren't touching any paper money. Because that is a lot more likely to get you sick than takeout from a restaurant
The point is to stop it from spreading
Here's what I don't understand about this graph - why would the curve be flattened, instead of just delayed?
I understand the idea of social distancing is to slow the rate at which the virus is spread so as to not overwhelm the current healthcare infrastructure. But despite how rigorous such measures may be, the virus will still be exchanged and circulated at some low level. So in 2-3 weeks when everyone returns to work, and everything starts opening up again, why wouldn't the rate of infection then skyrocket at that point, resulting in simply a delayed curve rather than a flattened one?
Not sure what to do about work tomorrow. I only just started the job so I don't have my boss's personal phone number and I'm supposed to go into the office early before the receptionist is there so I can't call...man, I can't do this job at home, sucks if I have to give it up this soon.
Nice.
Nice.
I feel like cash transactions are the majority of the transactions I've been personally dealing with too. Not sure what other retail-ERA members think about that.
Guy guys have no idea how unpopular Trump is over here but this news story did not go over well here, like at all:

Honestly? Of all the things Trump has done, nothing embarrasses me as an American more than this. It is a national disgrace.
I think that's part of the ongoing issue.... people are currently shutting shit down, but one of the bigger questions is how long we need to keep this up for. Business seem to be aiming for 2-3 weeks, but other estimates I've read say it should be longer (and the additional question is can we handle that?)
This is sorta new to a lot of us. We can definitely keep looking to how other countries respond to it; but we're most definitely at the middle of this and it's hardly over.
1. Slows down the spread (helps our currently overwhelmed healthcare givers)
2. Decreases the number of infected (even if temporarily)
3. Saves lives.
A delayed curve is a flattened curve. The area under the two curves is the same, but one keeps the sick at a manageable level for infrastructure.
Haven't seen this point brought up much, but ideally shutting things down for a couple weeks gives everyone a better chance to find and test coronavirus cases without having to constantly play catch up so much.
I don't like the goal of a flattened curve being that the same amount of people will get it just over a longer period of time, the goal should still be containment.
You won't get an answer to that one, because this only works with herd immunity or the emergence of a vaccine. Otherwise you have to assume society will somehow be able to sustain such measures indefinitely, which it can't without making things worst.
I haven't read anything definitive about the dangers of paper money. I was just making the point that more people are touching paper money than are touching your takeout order.
User Banned (3 Days): Ignoring Staff Post and Posting Unsubstantiated Information
Received a text from a family member whose coworker knows someone from the Military at DC. The president could mandated a two-week quarantine for the nation.
Stock up people.
Stock up people.
So how exactly does a lockdown work in terms of grocery shopping? Do I just...get in my car like usual and go to the store?
CNN Link
Essentially, a large number of cases originated from within members of the group, and there was a worry the weren't explicitly cooperating with the authorities at first. The Mayor of Seoul was pissed.
I trust my health ministry, he isn't an idiot and so far did a good job.
I am not saying you are wrong neither but it's not my place to debate about this and neither I've the knowledge about it.
I am only worried about a member of this forum who is out there working on the field doing his job (UPS delivery) and gave him an advice based on a trusted person.
Until that member can get help, I wanted to minimize the risk of his health worsening in case he has really the virus. But I pray that he only has the flu.
I heard Trudeau and Trump spoke on the phone this weekend, with Trudeau planning a big announcement at 1 pm today, are they planning a simultaneous lockdown?
Idunno, I still mostly get credit/debit payments (work in a grocery store so woo the last 72 hours have been a total nightmare), followed by cash payments, and then the occasional check. Though I have been noticing a LOT of people asking for cash back recently, waaaay more than usual.
My work told us we could work remote. I have a new employee and told him he could but he insist on coming in anyway. Now I feel obligated to go in as well. Sigh
Containment simply isn't feasible at this point. It's just about mitigation and delay.
Yeah, mostly everyone was yelling at UANL (Universidad de Nuevo León) to cancel classes and they finally took the shot this weekend. So now we gotta deal with stupid teenagers thinking they got actual vacations.
Yeah, I'm not risking ordering food right now. I'm not gonna eat anything that I haven't prepared myself. Doing otherwise sounds risky as fuck.
Seems like theres too much smoke going around for Canada not to go on lockdown tommorow. Gonna have to start doing some half assed home workouts now too.
China/Wuhan got it totally under control. Yes it's a different situation now, but if some countries can coordinate lockdowns and use the time to do as much testing as possible and track down all cases, we have a chance at containment and at the very least severely reducing the amount of people it infects over time.
Hey, here's something to remember in all this: homeless people can't self-quarantine, because we have no homes in which to do so.
We're either forced to be in public, or crammed into overcrowded shelters.
So what do we do? Just die?

Can we not makes these completely unsubstantiated posts? They do nothing and are almost always false.
That's what a lot of the teachers I know on Facebook are saying. There's no chance we're back to normal in 3 weeks, at this point.
