It's nice to revisit this skill i forgot I had.
Do y’all know if Dawgnation Daily will still happen this week? I’m going to cry if that’s been taken away too...
Doin well here in the Capitol. Shut down a couple school districts over a case where a 4th grader and his parents had it, but his older siblings didnt.
County meetings shut down through mid May.
My work has gone mobile, trying to limit the bodies In the office.
Still, the grocery stores are wiped out of can goods, cleaning stuff, and tp.
The liquor section is well stocked at this time.
Were good. Blizzy and Bella are good, too.
DND is live as we speak
The mods closed the original thread!? Lame. Really lame.
Alright folks, I've gotten to see this up close and personal now. Confirmed case, middle age, absolutely no prior medical history and co-morbidities. Very critically ill. Didn't travel but their occupation put them in contact with many people.
It's not a joke. Avoid the crowds, wash your hands frequently and thoroughly.
Thanks for the Thread Kasey. We are doing well here in SW Kentucky. We have kinda stayed in more than usual, as we are both in our 70's.
Next few weeks are gonna be critical for dealing with COVID-19 spread. I know it sucks, but these drastic measures are necessary to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed.
Definitely not good that the case numbers are still climbing but isn't it a positive sign that our numbers are about the same as Italy given the fact that we have about 5X as many people?
Honestly not sure. I would say raw numbers are more important at the beginning rather than percentages.
Edit: also lots of other things like population density will affect this. Right now we're seeing population centers getting hammered, but rural areas in Georgia are beginning to see community transmission.
Thank goodness!!!!
Still sticking to the "this is no big deal" narrative? You're part of a shrinking population, you know.
If you take out Washington the death rate is very low. Still taking precautions so as to to not be a part of the spread.
Alabama (yuck, I know) finally got its first handful of cases over the weekend. None in my city so far, but a coworker’s son works in the COVID-19 pod of one of the hospitals here. Take it with a grain of salt, but he says three presumed positive tests sent to elsewhere in the state for results. Should be a day or two before hearing back on that. No surprise at all if that’s true, I’ve been saying for over a week that we have actual cases here, just not yet confirmed due to a lack of testing. Before this we were sending tests all the way to the CDC in Atlanta.
Work is mandating anyone who can work remotely from home must do so. Doesn’t help people like me who can’t operate from home due to the nature of the work, so my team will be here until facilities get shut down entirely. Seems like it’s a matter of when, not if that happens.
The packed bars in Nashville all weekend and the miles long line of cars going to Pensacola Beach would indicate otherwise.
Let's not have arguments in this thread. Everyone knows where individuals stand at this point.
