My cousin is a nurse in MA. He said this morning he is not allowed to test for Covid-19 unless the patient recently traveled to 1 of 5 countries or had contact with another person confirmed to have the virus.

Yep. Wife got the test last night in the ER. We’ll know results in a couple days. Doctor initially told us she wasn’t an eligible candidate, despite ruling out flu, strep, other bacterial infections, etc. I told him half of America may get this, and while she may have one of those “viruses we don’t test for”, I asked him what the risk was to test her for this one? He came back 10 minutes later and said he had received authorization from the state board of health to test. We’re to self-isolate until we hear results.

So since some of us are still reasonably far away from retirement- and while the recovery will be slow, there will be one- while it's down, if you still have a job, all of us will be buying at a big discount.

I don't lose any money until I sell, and I don't plan to do that for a few more years.

Careful 401K owners can do quite well in this market.

Good luck. I hope it's negative.

Re: Covfefe-19 2020 part the second: Wash Your Hands

Thank y'all. She's starting to improve, thank God. She woke up to a fever/dry cough last Tuesday. We had went to Vanderbilt University Children's Hospital like four days before her symptoms started, which is where I think she caught this unknown virus. Her fever got up to over 103 last Friday, so she went to urgent care. Urgent care tested for flu/strep (negative). Told her to go home, drink fluids, etc. On Monday, she started having trouble breathing. Went back to urgent care: pneumonia. Flu/strep negative again. Started her on antibiotics, said she should start feeling better by yesterday. Yesterday, her fever spiked to 105, which, when we called the doctor, prompted them to tell us to go to the ER. I think that was the last hurrah for her fever, as she's feeling better today. I will say, I was extremely frustrated by the utter resistance to test her, ESPECIALLY after everything else they tested her for came back negative. It's entirely possible that she has some virus they don't test for (like, Covid-19) that caused her to have a fever for 9 straight days, but why take the risk at this point? I was exasperated that they wouldn't test her because she supposedly didn't meet criteria. So, that said, she's the first person they tested in our town.

Sniffles likes the numbers where they are. He doesn't want them higher. If they don't test people the number won't go up...

I'm laughing at this analogy.... But then it also wants to make me cry and/or punch something :mad:

Now that we think about it- knowing the extent of the outbreak- had we actually KNOWN- a lot of these actions that are taking place now could have been done a week ago. Should have been done a week ago, because we should have known.

Because fans were allowed to watch an NBA game on Sunday- how many SE MI people got exposed to Rudy Gobert? He may have been spared had testing been ready and willing to go out.

I just don't understand how anyone would want to cover this up. That makes no sense at all. The risk of it being exposed and dealt with accurately vs. the risk of a much wider outbreak..... Oh, well. The fall out from this can be dealt with in November. Look forward- wash hands, limit contact with people, etc. Do my best to not get it and spread it.

+1 for the best.
 
Re: Covfefe-19 2020 part the second: Wash Your Hands

Had a fever yesterday, not very high, and it seems to be gone today, although today I've got a pretty good case of the chills. Have a doctors appointment for later today that was made last month, so I'm gonna see about getting tested anyway. If I have it, I don't want to be running around spreading it. And after all, Donnie said anyone that wants one can get one, right?
