Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We live in Reno and I’m on a 6 week treatment plan at Stanford - we were looking at about $7k or so for hotels (we get to go home on weekends) and one of my partners had her best friend train at Stanford - their grandmother passed away in Nov. and the family planned to sell the house in June - woman I never met offered us to stay in the home for free for the 6 weeks. We’re stuck down here the weeked because I-80 is a mess, I don’t trust Southwest to change their schedule and I HAVE to be at Stanford Monday or I get dumped from the program - apparently it’s a big day for the lab rat. So we bought a jigsaw puzzle and are spending time reading and watching Netflix.

We’re obviously going to do something VERY nice for the friend - you find good people a lot more often than you think you do.

I think the reason is that tests are not reliable when someone has been recently infected. The amount of available tests might also be insufficient.

Do a hard refresh. On Chrome it’s function + F5. Not sure on other browsers. That took care of the missing buttons for me.

Not sure about the posts failing to load asynchronously. Might have something to do with the high load problem that some people have been getting a warning message about.

I transcribed it while watching his press conference this morning.

Thanks for the update. I’m glad things are working out. Best of luck with the trial.

I’ve been predicting this will go endemic for like a month now. Sort of hope I’m wrong.

Zik and GGoreo, how hard would it be to add a wiki to unstuck?

That could be a really useful way to summarize info for this topic and others

I’ll take that badge if it’s made

I don’t disagree with much, but the vast majority of gun hoarders are cowards and aren’t threats. Imo anyway.

Right now we should all try to be at least three feet away from everyone else at all times. In Italy they have to be now. That time will come here too, most likely - at least in some places. I don’t think we need to formally get into grids 6 feet apart, but even on Monday when I was out in public at the bank I was trying to space myself 3+ feet from other people waiting. I mean, why not?

I have been experiencing what I think is shortness of breath for the past week - it just appeared out of no where. I’ve been worrying about the coronavirus lately and I started noticing my breathing has gone a bit weird after I found out there was a confirmed case of the virus near where I work. I am having trouble taking a full breath of air in from time to time and I can’t stop thinking about my breathing; literally as soon as I wake up I start thinking about my breathing. I am not showing any other symptoms of the virus such as a flu, fever, sore throat nor cough - nothing; I am only unable to draw a hard deep breath of air from time to time.

Call a doctor, now. Hopefully it’s not coronavirus, but whatever it is you should get it treated and there HAVE been confirmed severe cases (and deaths) in which there was no coughing and no fever.

It’s going to be really hard in America to get tested without coughing and fever, but I’d make an effort to try.

How old are you? Any underlying health issues?

But if we’re handwashing, sanitizing and disinfecting stuff when we get home, we mitigate that risk quite a bit. There’s literally nothing we can do about breathing the same air other than masks and spacing out.

This can be a symptom of stress or anxiety. You try to get a full deep breath, but it feels like you can only get halfway there? Like your inhale sort of stops halfway involuntarily?

29 - healthy as can be.

You should go see a doctor even if there were no pandemic.

Had that problem a couple of days ago. Went away when I stopped reading this thread.

Not trying to be rude. It’s true. It was merely anxiety.

What do you have in mind. Any topic or post can be made into a wiki. This post is now a wiki anyone can edit

That’s too weird. I don’t care how #TheBest your post is. It’s weird for me to graffiti this, albeit not anonymously.

I have added a staff color to this post since it now contains valuable wiki’d information

I get a notification each time one of you fuckers edits this. Not for long though, I’m washing my hands of this wiki

This is excellent. Can we do this or just mods? (Rugby)

@Tilted I wanted to add that a good thing to do if you go to the doctor, they can’t explain your shortness of breath and they won’t test you for it (a likely scenario) would be to have them put a pulse oximeter on you and check your blood oxygen level. If it’s low enough, they’d have to treat you for that anyway.

It’s also very possible this is a form of anxiety and that worrying about it is making it worse. Do you have a history of anxiety?

I’d suggest not freaking, but calling a doctor.
