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

So a question for the experts (les... ;) )

It's being said that 85% of people who get this virus will have little to no symptoms.

If you are one of them, what symptoms and what degree of those symptoms should you self quarantine? I can picture someone who gets warm in an afternoon, maybe coughs a few times- barely worse even to a cold kind of thing. For sure, given the current standard to get a limited test, there's no way that you are going to be tested- so the odds if you actually knowing is virtually nothing (unless, apparently, you are a star, since it appears the NBA is all going to get tested....).

What recommendation is being put out for the barely any symptom people who get this- and have no idea?

Thanks.

The reason I ask is that if we have 10 confirmed cases- which I'm wondering if they are in the 10% serious enough to test area- that would mean there are 90 others out there who have it, 85 of which will have no major issues, and X will have barely even any symptoms wandering around.

(which is why the current policy of social separation w/o many confirmed cases makes SO much sense)
The answer is that people should be attempting to limit contact to everyone because there is absolutely no way to know. If you have any symptoms at all then you need to work on that more

That seems preposterous
People don't like situations where the numbers look bad. Esp when they haven't seen that happen before

You're describing my own situation right now. Have had cold symptoms for about a week. No fever at any time just stuffy nose, sore throat, breathing felt a little different, bit of a cough last night. Haven't coughed this morning but just laying here in bed. Supposed to go see dr this afternoon. But should I even do that? My thought is I don't wanna shrug it off when pneumonia is a possibility. My sister thinks it's flu b but considering I am laying here in no significant pain do they want me coming in? At the same time I want to stay ahead of it the best I can.
ANytime you are sick stay home. That was true before this
So my best friend from HS, who is very smart but a Dumpy who consumes right wing news (not Flaggy but, you know, American Spectator, National Review) just wrote me "the recession caused by the overreaction is going to kill more people than the virus."

There's no way to help people trapped in a data killing jar. Remember: he's top 5% smart.

From the Daily Show. I know it is supposed to be comedy but I didn't find it funny. It is horrifying. It also explains a lot of what the echo chamber is parroting. If that is the media diet no wonder they feel so righteous.

My Church emailed yesterday to see how many of us were still going to teach Sunday School. ***. Sent an email to the Pastor, Church Council Prez and the SS leader with bullet points explaining latest info and telling them there is no way to assure safety, that the people most likely to sho up are the olds who will feel it is OK to come because the church would never do this if it wasn't and a bunch more.
Got an email from another retired nurse who was flipping about the pending decision and who had also emailed almost the same thing.

Get an email not 30 min later- having services with alterations. Don't come if you are sick. Disgusting. I sent a less than Christian response. You would think the one place we would see socially responsible behaviour would be a church (we aren't "The Church" so no one goes to Hell, Purgatory or Limbo if they don't attend)

Mass Gov put out edict- no gatherings of >250.

Minnesota Governor Walz (DFL) made sure his entire team was several feet apart during his presser, I believe

Is it too much to hope that one of 'em in the middle of that group has allergies and sneezes?

Nope. Haven't been able to do that from the beginning- that is why we are where we are.

I am all for Universal healthcare- the cost of not having it is higher than having it. However- this is a reason we should have requirements for who gets to be in charge of it

I cannot deal with listening to him live. I used to feel like it was my civic duty. Now I know I value my mental health and feeling homicidal isn't good for that

I heard the reason it spread so widely in the New Rochelle orthodox Jewish community is because, well, orthodox Jews go to the Synagogue a lot, and it tends to be a relatively confined space. Only one person (an attorney who was at a European conference) was infected. Then, bam, it spread like wildfire throughout the community.

Pence is standing there fantasizing about how to treat fetuses with covid 19 without treating their mothers

It's likely that more than half of those guys already have it; it doesn't matter.

There are pockets of orthodox Jews around there -- not sure if New Rochelle -- who are really, really, really wingnut. As in child abuse, home schooling, musical sex crimes, all the hallmarks of a fundamentalist religious community. If one of those was the epicenter of the outbreak I also wouldn't be surprised if they had the medical sophistication of the 12th century.
