Hopefully they all go home and the ones planning trips in the next few weeks just stay away.

All things relative, getting infected with COVID sucks, while being healthy but quarantined sucks less. Being healthy, and quarantined, and not able to go to the beaches after booking a room months ago and probably too late to get a refund is a gut punch. If your town doesn’t want COVID being spread, cancel and refund the bookings.

Did Florida not shut down the beach?

Not yet. People around here have been taking advantage of their "quarantines" and going to the beach, while I'm still having to come into work.

Just another round of rumors of a national shutdown

If I hear one more rumor about the Stafford Act, I may actually lose my shite.

According to this link, vomiting was prevalent in some of the Chinese patients.

The study population included 138 hospitalized patients with confirmed NCIP. The median age was 56 years (IQR, 42-68; range, 22-92 years), and 75 (54.3%) were men. Of these patients, 102 (73.9%) were admitted to isolation wards, and 36 (26.1%) were admitted and transferred to the ICU because of the development of organ dysfunction (Table 1). The median durations from first symptoms to dyspnea, hospital admission, and ARDS were 5 days (IQR, 1-10), 7 days (IQR, 4-8), and 8 days (IQR, 6-12), respectively (Table 1). Of the 138 patients, 64 (46.4%) had 1 or more coexisting medical conditions. Hypertension (43 [31.2%]), diabetes (14 [10.1%]), cardiovascular disease (20 [14.5%]), and malignancy (10 [7.2%]) were the most common coexisting conditions.

The most common symptoms at onset of illness were fever (136 [98.6%]), fatigue (96 [69.6%]), dry cough (82 [59.4%]), myalgia (48 [34.8%]), and dyspnea (43 [31.2%]). Less common symptoms were headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting (Table 1). A total of 14 patients (10.1%) initially presented with diarrhea and nausea 1 to 2 days prior to development of fever and dyspnea.

Compared with patients who did not receive ICU care (n?=?102), patients who required ICU care (n?=?36) were significantly older (median age, 66 years [IQR, 57-78] vs 51 years [IQR, 37-62]; P?<?.001) and were more likely to have underlying comorbidities, including hypertension (21 [58.3%] vs 22 [21.6%], diabetes (8 [22.2%] vs 6 [5.9%]), cardiovascular disease (9 [25.0%] vs 11 [10.8%]), and cerebrovascular disease (6 [16.7%] vs 1 [1.0%]). Compared with the non-ICU patients, patients admitted to the ICU were more likely to report pharyngeal pain, dyspnea, dizziness, abdominal pain, and anorexia.

We’re very close to a shut down Denver by nature of what’s left open. But there’s a high probability we’ll go officially into a lock down today. Governor speaks in an hour and a half.

Stocked up on booze. Otherwise, we’ll still have access to restaurant to-go, grocery stores, etc

Wife is home, finally sleeping. Back in tomorrow but not for as long. She says the hospital is kicking arse so far

I’d tell them you’re feeling short of breath

Yeah, that is the symptom that seems to get the most response.

I have my first annual check up in the last 10 years on the 31st and can't get the doctor's office to call me back to either have me come in or reschedule.

I figured this virus wouldn’t even crack the top 5 of the worst things you can catch at PCB

Hopefully their those overseas trials are credible. I read it was only 40 patients and had an 100% cure rate. That’s pretty unheard of
