ā€œIf it spreads hereā€? Isn’t it already here?

Yes, the Northeast is pouring in.

Yeah, the folks got a spicy email response, and this line was used. Also let them know they aren’t getting any calls with me or their grandchildren while they were there, at least unless they were in the ICU. It was pretty galling how I was told that they respected my insight in a note blatantly looking for permission to disregard what they knew I was going to tell them.

Damn bro, best of luck.

Florida, sorta? Massive lines of vulnerable people crowded together, many of whom aren’t wearing masks. Sounds flawless!

Nurse called but couldn’t say anything until doctor calls, which who knows if that’ll be tonight, but her doc has privileges and my wife talked to him before she went in so he’ll check in the morning I’m sure

Nurse did say she’s gotten 2 liters of oxygen and she’s been able to get her oxygen level close to 90. I was hoping on oxygen she’d be over 90 but not sure if that’s realistic.

Nurse also said the level drops when she lays down so they are keeping her sitting up.

Rapid test negative

They also did blood test but that takes 2 days to get back.

She has fluid in the lungs but haven’t talked to the doctor, just her, so don’t know whole story. She had cat scan so assuming that’s where they found the fluid.

Also has a UTI, but she gets those all the time.

doesn’t sound like covid. What blood tests comes back in two days?

Still scary though.

Not sure; I took it as a covid test, but it’s all translated so don’t know for sure until we talk to an actual doctor

I guess fluid in lungs sounds like pneumonia of some sort? Again, doctor will clarify what that means once we talk to them.

could be, but it doesn’t sound like that either. Don’t want to speculate from here. Just have to wait to get the whole story.

What covid?

US greenhouse gas emissions in biggest fall since WW2

US greenhouse gas emissions tumbled below their 1990 level for the first-time last year as a result of the response to the coronavirus pandemic.

A preliminary assessment from research group Rhodium says that overall emissions were down over 10%, the largest fall since World War Two.

Transport saw the biggest decline, with emissions down almost 15% over 2019.

Energy emissions also fell sharply due to a decline in the use of coal.

Shockingly, when. we arent driving giant mega boats, flying jumbo jets, and commuting 2 hours a day, emissions fall.

Who coulda thunk?
