Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

I've truly enjoyed listening to when he calls in to CNBC. My initial assumption he was just another big money guy focused on getting more money but has a bit of empathy.

Completely floored each time he has ideas that he admits would take from his pocket and help others. Or he shines great leadership skills.

I'm sure somewhere he has skeletons in his closet, but I wish more business people were like him.

I do too. I really respect him as a fellow human being.

I know a flight attendant who temp subbed on his private jet once as a favor for a friend. All he asked for was a Diet Coke and she was left alone for the rest of the flight.

As opposed to Jon Hamm, who apparently has quite the ego in real life. :D

Breaking News: Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India has announced “a total ban of coming out of your homes” for 3 weeks in the nation of 1.3 billion people.

Per NYT

And improvement over his initial plan to stack the bodies of Muslims along the Pakistani border.

But where are they gonna sh-t now?
 
And now Cuomo is an idiot. Whats the matter Wall Street yelling at you too much?

We do have to isolate everyone...for quite a while. Otherwise all of this is for nothing.

Cuomo just got a bunch of supplies from Trump. This is probably why.

Bend the knee.

Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

Yeah... I know.

Because family members are frontline nurses, doctors, and hospital workers. I know the pain and sacrifice they're going through. They're wondering if today they go into work and get sick. Maybe they live, maybe they die. Or maybe they bring the virus home and kill their husband or wife and have to live with that pain for the rest of their lives. ER docs are basically living in isolation because they don't want to give this to their families. Or maybe today is the day they run out of ventilators and have to decide does person A or person B live.

I know...I wasnt criticizing I was just a bit shocked. :)

I dont envy what they are going through...
 
Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

I think there's a balance between policing anyone leaving their home, and just letting this thing run rampant.

I'm hoping our social distancing measures work.


And since I'm just catching up on last night's discussion here....I'm gonna throw out 20% as a reasonable number for people that would be infected with no preventative measures in place. This is based on the 19%, 712 of the 3,711 people (guests and staff) on the Diamond Princess testing positive.
 
And with Covid-19 I'll send my workers home if they or any of their family members have symptoms. I wash my hands. I cough into my elbow.


And you know its contagious, even without symptoms, right? You do know this?

How many of those go home and infect their family members? Their old grandparents, their aunt who had cancer?

Just cause you don't care what it may do to you, try caring about what it might do to someone else. If you can.

Come on Rufus. You’re asking a proud GOP voter why they don’t care about anyone else???
 
Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

Does it matter? Those eyes...

Rumor is his eyes arent why he has the ego ;)

Cuban is fine, but he is as full of it as anyone. A lot of his ideas are flat out stupid and he would be the friend everyone laughs at for being a moron if he didnt have a lot of money. He does care though...

Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

A week ago, the local news did a short piece on a doctor who is living in his basement (independent entry) and is staying away from his family... tough times....

We've been doing similar things for a couple weeks now. We were affirmed by seeing these stories on the news over the weekend.

My wife takes her temp daily. When she comes home from the hospital, I don't get to hug her. She comes in and immediately puts her clothes in a special hamper in the entry way. We bring them down to the basement and launder them. She takes a shower, her second of the day wreaking havoc on her skin and hair. While she's showering, I put her lunch and dinner dishes into the dishwasher. I clean and sanitize her keys, badge, anything else she touched, and all of the doorknobs. I change my outer layer of clothes and wash my hands and arms thoroughly. When she's dried off, we finally get to hug, carefully. We don't get to kiss because who knows if she's asymptomatic at the moment*.

We've already prepared a separate living space downstairs. If one of us gets it, I move down there, and we institute special procedures desperately hoping the other hasn't already caught it. We've got the best furnace filters 3M makes, but we'd also add a second layer to the vents and returns in the rooms. I've got a couple sets of clothing that would last me a few days down there while we discuss our next steps. We have plans for how we'd do laundry and cook meals. I have a secondary home office setup in a spare bedroom down there that would work in a pinch if we need to isolate immediately.

In a perfect world, I'd turn the "sick" room into a negative pressure space with a fan, but that probably a step too far. :D


*This is really hard as newlyweds. We already cancelled our honeymoon, probably never get to take it. We both want kids but we obviously can't start now. We're in our 30s, so it's already kind of dicey. I'm holding out hope we get through this in less than 18 months, but slowly preparing myself for a reality where we can't. I've delicately asked her if we want to start sleeping in separate spaces until this calms down, but how do you insist on that? It's heartbreaking to have to even contemplate that. To go from vowing to be partners for life to isolation is not something humans were really designed to do easily.

After seeing John Oliver's pieces on India recently, I really have no words for the nightmarish hell this will cause.

Plus it's probably the most social culture on the planet. Indians hold festivals with 200,000 people to celebrant paint drying.
