Covfefe-19 2020 part the second: Wash Your Hands

Maybe. The first hour and last hour are where you should watch. The day it lost 7% it was already down 7% at the open bell.

Could and likely will get worse though. I see it's already down to 1,100. Off lows of around 1,300. Either way, this wasn't the reassurance we needed. Please 25A this ****. PLEASE.

The problem is they'll take a lot of us with them.

Hey, you have to look on the bright side — this thing cleans out the nursing homes and that’s a huge drain on the economy gone.

The GOP said they were going to cut Social Security. They didn't say *how*.

Pretty sure that guy is on acid.

I'm sure this link has been posted here, but information from 20 minutes ago feels like 20 weeks ago.

When you’re done reading the article, this is what you’ll take away:

The coronavirus is coming to you.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.

After infection, it takes about two weeks for symptoms to show up (the quarantine period). So using the past data, the math shows that we're .... fu**ed for being so ill prepared.

I don't wish that, but the truth is cold sometimes. I'll have to ask you to trust me at my word on that.

When he is lucid he is actually a pretty knowledgeable contributor. But that is becoming rarer and rarer.

Sigh.

“ Senate Democrats are warning that President Trump’s plan to dramatically cut payroll taxes as a response to the coronavirus outbreak's hit to the economy is a “huge mistake” that will take a “wrecking ball” to Social Security, saying it is "a massive tax cut for the country’s biggest corporations" when actions should be taken instead to help workers forced to stay home as the virus spreads.”

Utah Jazz are sleeping in the locker room

Plans are being made for the Utah Jazz to stay overnight at Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Arena as the team awaits permission to return home, according to ESPN's Royce Young.

The team is also exploring potentially chartering buses as a means to travel back to Utah, per ESPN.

My dad mostly works from home anyway (works for HUD), so he will probably be told to only work from home shortly. My mom works for a school district and they have been told to start bringing stuff home and prepare to most likely have to somehow work from there the rest of the year.

My company is having 2 conference calls a week now on the COVID-19. The most recent one was yesterday morning. FA's and gate agents will have gloves they can wear if they would like. More surgical masks will be added to the grab and go kits. Upping the number of wipes and hand sanitizer on A/C. Boeing and Airbus have assured us the HEPA filters are more than adequate (curious what they expected them to say). Lavs will now be considered unusable if there is no potable water. Reducing our domestic schedule for at least April.

So far the "f" word hasn't been mentioned by anyone, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little nervous.

EDIT: Oh, and the idiot manager that came in with flu-like symptoms after getting back from Milan? Tested negative for COVID-19.

Woof.

“ Federally funded tests conducted by scientists from several major institutions indicated that the novel form of coronavirus behind a worldwide outbreak can survive in the air for several hours. That finding, if accepted, would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact.”

The infectious disease expert out of the Univ. of MN, Michael Osterholm, has been saying this the past couple days. Basically hand washing is great and keep doing it, but dont expect it to have a significant impact on transmission of Covid-19. He's been stressing that transmission is primarily through breathing, and staying out of large crowds and spaces with recirculated air is the best thing to do.

But he has also been saying this is all just the beginning, and we need to be prepared to be challenged by this for 3 to potentially 6 months or more while the virus runs itscourse.
