row_33 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I will tell you in 24 hours what happened today and put it on a grid and it will let me know if more or less people came down with it but anyone can do that it will have no help at all in determining the course of the next 24 hours, not a shred of help at all eventually it will peak and wane and nobody has a clue as to that time rinse and repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 1 hour ago, KD in CA said: Frankly, I'm glad someone is trying a different approach. We have devolved into a world not just comprised of lemmings, but lemmings who will angrily attack anyone who doesn't following the 'approved' course of action. This isn't the last one of these we're going to see, so might be good if we were able to evaluate relative good/bad ideas/outcomes after this episode is over. LOTS of that here on TSW.

Kevbeau Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just got an email on two positive tests on people that work in my building. Not surprising...About 5k people on our campus, international F100 company where people travel a lot and large international workforce. We’ve been on work from home since Thursday...till mid-April.

Artful Dodger Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) In the "one less thing to worry about department", due to the CoronaVirus, ISIS has banned its followers from carrying out jihad in plague stricken countries. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/isis-issues-travel-warning-over-coronavirus-pandemic/ ISIS also suggests that the Faithful should wash their hands frequently and place their hands over their mouths when sneezing.

JetsFan20 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I’m not a doctor, but I personally think this is getting blown out of proportion. Flu season is pretty much over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Has everyone noticed how at every turn the president has to make an official ‘declaration‘ just to clear away the piles of regulations that keep the government from getting anything done? The country is just not set up for swift action on anything. Checks and balances, while good intentioned, make it really hard to get anything urgent done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I wouldn't be too concerned if I didn't have a 93 ½ year old mother. She recovered from a bout of pneumonia a year ago. I am taking every precaution when I go shopping. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 is it possible to not have been exposed to this taking the subway every workday to work in the financial district of a metropolitan city, every weekday for the last 3 months? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it is possible. I suspect there are many more cases out there where the symptoms are just not severe enough to warrant concern that they have the COVID-19 virus.
