Appreciated. She's a tough desert girl. MS is in for the fight of its life. I don't envy it.

Thanks for sharing. I have an aunt with MS coming to the wedding. Didn't even think about it that way. We're already scared about someone coming and spreading it to the whole dam party. Just crossing our fingers...



Unrelated, but Italy has cancelled all attendance at sporting events until April on top of closing schools and universities. There's talk of banning all public gatherings...
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Kep- what geezer said.

I have friends who work in the ICU. Was chatting with one of them last night. She is scared. There is no clear guidance coming from the CDC, the info we are hearing is contradictory and constantly changing. Units are going to be front lines and they are saying the risk is greater for those who work them.

Makes me crazy to listen to people be cavalier about this when I know people who are at risk- both as patients and professionally. It might not kill a majority of people but is dam scary when you can't pretend it won't touch you in some way

Dr. Mrs., who has MS, had this conversation with her neurologist yesterday:

"I'm concerned about COVID-19. You told me my MS medication suppresses my immune system responses."

"Yes, it does."

"Does that mean I should stop my treatments for now to rebuild my immune system?"

"Well, here are your choices. If you stop treatment then your immune system will slowly rebuild, so your likelihood of COVID-19 contagion will slowly decrease. However, without treatment your odds of MS flare-ups will increase, and with each flare-up you risk cognitive deterioration."

(pause) "So, I can be at risk of getting sick and maybe dying, or I can decrease my odds of getting sick but then increase my risk of becoming a vegetable?"

"Kind of."

"Which do you recommend?"

"It's your decision, I can only tell you the options."

"Well, what are the probabilities of the different risks?"

"Literally nobody knows."

Dr's always say they "practice medicine" ;)

To be fair, that's the breathalyzer to start his car.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Is there a bigger putz in all of Congress?

maybe Ted Cruz. maybe Gym Jordan. But it's a serious competition.

Just for that stupid stunt, I hope he gets it.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Is there a bare minimum set of symptoms for this thing? Or could you have it and not even develop a fever?

As someone who has a 3 year old and a 10 month old it is absolutely terrifying thinking of them potentially getting it.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

Strade Bianche on Saturday and possibly other Italian cycling spring races like Milan San Remo and Tirreno Adriatico cancelled, due to coronavirus.

****. Strade Bianche is one of my favorite races.

I have a 5-month-old, so I know how you're feeling. That said, at this point, the virus is barely affecting children. Small comfort, I know.

From what I saw earlier today, so far it seems kids aren't getting it. At least for the most part.
 
Re: nCoV 2019-2020 Outbreak

The other side of this is you can't let this paralyze you. It's one thing to be cautious and follow recommendations but you still gotta live your life.
