I wish this were started by a mod or someone who has more time than me and who is currently less drunk than me but so it goes. If you have questions-here If you have relevant news-here If you have good info-here if you have memes-fuck off If you wanna talk about anything else-fuck off my youngest has mild asthma and I love my mom who’s the last left. I enjoy the other thread but it’s hard to follow. If you have an important article/tweet to share please consider posting in this thread. If any mod would like to jump in and edit significant events into the OP PLEASE DO. pperc15 pnk$krtcrÿnästÿ @ whoever else roll tide RonBurgundy triage tool to decide if you need to get tested- https://gehrcovidtriage.akidolabs.com/ https://covidactnow.org/ -important info
im a mod who probably has more time than you but i think i fail at the latter carry on folks (i'll try to keep this thread info-centric)
I know it may seem goofy but my job isn’t closing down and it’s actually kind of easy to have articles/tweets/opinions/advice all in one place. Also, thank you
More info on GI symptoms. I mentioned this a week ago. ACE2 viral entry receptor is expressed in the GI tract
Idk if anyone has read this opinion piece from Newt Gingrich but he’s deadly serious. Currently living in Italy. He certainly panders to the trump administration but he also makes some points about economic sacrifice for the greater good.
Most people, even smart people, can’t understand what’s happening until they see it with their own eyes. If Newt was here in the US right now I’d doubt he’d be saying those things.
Emily is a wonderful human being living with a rare form of Cystic Fibrosis that’s not treatable with the new drugs
its rare a cardiologist would ever admit this. Kudos to him. Also- Mayo Clinic. Who was our friend last night?
Do whatever you want but try and keep the OT stuff in here to a minimum. The other thread to me is a mix of news and all of us trying to keep each other sane. This one is strictly info. I’ll be following both
How dumb (unfortunate word to use) is it for me to attend a viewing and funeral of someone who might have just passed away from this? I have to go so obviously I don’t take my kids? What precautions do I take? Thanks . pperc15
no OT stuff in here. This is strictly for info and questions. I’ll thread ban anyone who doesn’t follow that simple rule.
this is for more pertinent info that you need to know and share the other one is more for general info and for keeping the quarantined entertained
Well the deceased is not likely infectious. I’d be more concerned about a large gathering which are big no no’s right now. As you know, Italy isn’t doing funerals right now - it’s horribly tragic. I don’t know what I’d do in your situation. People are going to want to hug, touch, etc. This is fucked up. You shouldn’t go, but I would understand if you did. If you want to take precautions, wash hands, stand 6 feet from others, don’t touch much.
This is pretty big change right? All of the charts and info people have posted don't list diarrhea as a symptom.
