i heard bars are supposed to be closing here, but i just saw on FB that my local bar is staying open. looks like ill be having a couple small pitchers and a club sandwich after work

thats how outbreaks happen. just go home.

The first covid19 case was in november.

just think Chinese people were flying freely since jan 23 into the us (correct if wrong). that's two+ months of the virus spreading to the US.

i have no doubt in my mind if we did antibody tests for covid 19 for every american we'd find a bunch of positive results at this point.

i dont think many people understand that part

I tend to agree, but what is your point?

Surprised there are even any still open. All are closed around here.

Lol they're going to sell it door to door.

So much has happened since I started this thread, but I quit paying attention to it since all that was happening were people sh!tting on me because I disagreed with them about wearing masks and it just got stupid and more stress than I wanted to deal with. I feel like the info in the first post is still valid, but it seems like the thing about people being immunocompromised being the most vulnerable has been proven invalid. I've also read that obese people and smokers are at high risk for infection too.

I added a link to a great site I found called nCoV2019.live which has ALL the stats on the virus and is up to date by the second. Definitely keep that site bookmarked if you want to keep up to date on COVID-19. But, if anyone has any suggestions for things to add to the first post, let me know. I'm not going to post any conspiracy garbage or FUD, but any valid facts that can be added I will look into it. I'm out of room for adding images or YT videos embedded in the first post, but some of the videos may be out of date at this point, so if anyone has some better ones from VALID NEWS SOURCES - not random YouTubers, I'll look into swapping them out. PM/email/or tweet @pogue25 and I'll check it out. I'm probably not going to come back here and look for replies, since we're up to 80 pages it's gotten beyond me trying to moderate it or even bother reading it.

Fever for 4 days. Sore throat. Body aches. Diarrhea started today.

Seeing doctor tomorrow. Been self quarantined since Sunday.

I have literally done about 200 steps total in 4 days cause I am so fatigued.

No cough, thankfully. Lost 6 pounds from no appetite.

****ing sucks cause I had a horrible noravirus in January and lost 12 pounds. I finally got my strength and weight back like a week ago.


Fuuuuuuuiu!!!!!!

Probably influenza so probably no pneumonia threat. Maybe you'll get a test

This is going to last awhile. It might climb and climb to a peak in like April, or May, or June, and if we let off then it iwll come back, maybe lock up again, it goes down, rinse, repeat...18+ months maybe to get any kind of vaccine...

Nothing is ever going to be the same again. Instead of the recent thing being "since 9/11" or "post 9/11" it's going to be since/post corona/covid. They didn't say that part, but, that's what it will be.

I had the exact same thought. This feels like what happened after 9/11.

Would there be a 3rd option where people go back to living like before, and whoever dies dies?

[Reliance012]

Expect a national quarantine tomorrow. 15 days for non essential jobs. Presidential address.

How many days in a row have people been saying this??

[Farley1324]

A few days maybe?

But then POTUS has stated he doesn't want that so, please everybody stop saying to expect it

I know you seem to like Trump and all, but he's said a few things about his plans on this that didn't pan out. I'm not exactly clinging dearly to Cuomo's commitment not to lock down any New York cities, either.

Either way, I'm just surprised that the "national lockdown" urban legend date has moved. When this started circulating, people were claiming their "friend's friend" told them Friday. Telephone is a fun game.

There is just not enough reason or evidence to be repeating this stuff. There's no actual source supporting it, there is an actual source against it. So. maybe we stop repeating OMG national martial law quarantine tomorrow

Cuomo is obviously quite a bit more, uh, authoritarian than many others, NYC is a pretty ****ing terrible place to imagine being when the S hits the fan as it is preparing to do, and it's a much smaller geographical area (esp when broken down) than the whole damn country so if it's going to happen, NYC is more likely by a factor of 10 probably

I agree. To clarify, I explicitly said it's an urban legend for a reason. There's absolutely no basis for it. (Will keep speculative things for the speculation thread.)

wish people could start wearing 3m 60921 respirators and goggles right now, cant wait to use mine in public. i'd do it but i'd stand out

due to its population density and vertical living situation, ny city will be the closest thing to Wuhan
Unfortunate
