SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

I’m not sure what you mean here. I’m calling first thing in the morning so I can speak to her actual doctor. She’s currently sleeping, it’s 10:00 at night, the only thing open around here is the emergency room, and she has a fever of 100 (99 under the armpit plus one). There’s no universe in which I take her to the ER for that under even normal circumstances, and these sure as shit aren’t normal circumstances. If she had a temp of 104, yeah I’d be calling right now and when they read frmo their script and tell me to take her to the ER I would listen.

To clarify: She’s not really that sick. It’s just really worrying because these aren’t normal circumstances. but my two kids (who are in day care) get shit like this like once a month.

Well damn, that plus the time those are on, that looks insane. Hopefully they have something to protect from infections in the process

Yeah, IOC put a 4 week deadline on deciding whether the games are going off. Nothing will be solved in 4 weeks.

Edit: Looks like my pony is 4 weeks behind

Yeah Olympics are donezo. I hope they do them next year though, completely cancelled would suck but probably what happens.

Faceshields? The ones I wear sometimes are not padded and hella uncomfortable to wear. Can’t imagine having one on all day long.

cant they just have the athletes playing olympic games without the crowds and maybe just a few people filming since nobody cares? apparently nobody in japan has coronavirus anyways…

literally more people in florida with corona than japan and they started testing 3 days ago :)

This is a good article for highlighting the commercial real estate dilemma. A collapse would be legitimately catastrophic but the beneficiaries are cartoon villain level bad guys.

President of the Fed Bank in St. Louis thinks that we’re going to hit 30 percent unemployment with a 50 percent drop in GDP. MSN

For reference the highest unemployment rate hit during the Great Depression was 24.9 percent.

I think we’re all in agreement that there is no chance that the Olympics happens as scheduled.

Anyone have any guess as to the next major sporting event that actually does happen on time? Think the NFL starts the regular season on September 10?

7 day turnaround for tests here lol.

Probably face shields or goggles.

NYC will be starting trials on Tuesday, but I think it’s only a subset of these drugs

A huge part of the olympics is celebrated comraderie between athletes. Without that it really doesnt make sense to hold the games

You mean the record numbers of condoms used?

Yea the turnaround time for tests in some places isn’t great. I think Canada has a 5 day turnaround time for tests.
