You are right.

As in 0 states. It is everywhere.

Suppose I was an idiot. Suppose I was a member of congress. But, I repeat myself.

Seattle:
  • Traffic is a thing of beauty. With most of the big employers allowing WFH for the next few weeks, traffic is at levels not seen since the early 2000s or during the 2008 economic downturn.
  • Smaller runs still going on in grocery stores, but it is leveling out somewhat as,many realize the foolishness of their initial overreactions.
  • Almost all stores still limiting sanitizers when available.
  • Lines at Costco still in the morning before opening to grab TP and water....
  • Asians still over-reacting
  • Traffic in restaurants has taken a noticeable hit, per my brother and his wife, who both manage local restaurants and talk with managers of other restaurants
  • You are seeing more white people with masks
  • Local social media full of cries to name/shame companies that do not let people work from home, demanding a state level quarantine, etc. Typical lib WA.
  • Lots of schools closing for the next two weeks, yet all the kids are out paralyzing together this evening. pointless.

exactly what i would be doing in hs or college. thanking the gods for the corona. it's like spring break BEFORE spring break.

This whole think is ridiculous. 10,000 people died this year in the USA from the common flu. No one cared.

I get that this is the last ditch effort to blame Trump for "health problems", but destroying people's lives and well being for political purposes because you are a communist POS is not a good excuse. My dad was a 35 year employee of Exxon and he's lost half his retirement becauce of the collapse of Exxon stock.

Liberals are evil. Period.


I encourage you and your father to learn about diversification. It's an important part of retirement portfolio planning.
I don't invest for my parents. Keep in mind my dad is a multimillionaire and most of that was made through working and investing in oil. I told him to diversify, but I don't think he cares too much.


Why should we keep that in mind?

Spring break is not until April 13 here.

We just had mid-winter break a few weeks ago.
kids aren't dying. go exchange the fluid.

I don't know did you read the post? It said I should diversify, which I said I did and advised my dad to do the same.

I get your persona on here is criticizing other posters but you need to read posts before you do so.

You don't think this is related?

This virus is not going to do what liberals want. It's the flu.

This IS political. I don't get why conservatives bow to these games and don't fight back.

And if you want to show evidence it's more deadly than the common flu, please do ti.
Do you believe that a disease's threat level is determined solely by it's fatality rate? And that level is further subdivided by it's mortality to specific age, race or gender?

No idea where you got the idea that CV is less deadly or less contagious than the common flu but it wasn't from any scientific study.


I think the flu in the US killed 3,000 between October and December 31. Has CV killed that many people worldwide? I am honestly just asking, it may have but I'm under the impression that it's not even close to 3K worldwide. It's killed about 14 in the US at this point I think.

PJ thinks that's what a group of medical professional think might happen. It's based on a "leaked" document, so it's veracity can be naturally questioned.

I don't know - millions were infected with common flu yet you barely saw a report on that in the news. Why?
I think it's a mild concern but certainly not the hysteria we are seeing. I don't know how anyone can dispute that. We have seen so few cases in the USA that if it wasn't politically expedient, it wouldn't even make the news.

And if your argument is that "it's more serious than flu", the initial stats were that it had a 2% death rate. This is higher than common flu but even the reporters of these stats admitted that there has probably been much misdiagnosis of this versus the common flu, so it probably had about the same death rate as common flu or even lower.

Real question.
I have been fighting a sinus infection since Monday.
I treated with OTC flu type meds with no improvement.
I called Teladoc Wednesday and started antibiotics and nasal spray with no improvement.
I now have a deep lung constant hacking cough and labored breathing. This has gotten worse than any sickness I have had.
How would a guy go about getting tested for corona?
I'm likely heading to urgent care tomorrow.
Before you ask, I am in Galveston County

TIA for your recommendations and inappropriate remarks.

This is a pretty good read from a rather surprising source, I fully expected a bunch of propaganda but it gives good information in layman's terms.

But seriously it should be getting a little easier to be tested in the coming weeks.

You can probably call your doctor and explain your concerns but if it is coronavirus not sure what else they would do. I picked up a pulse oximeter to help me decide when a cough turns bad. Admittedly I'm a mild hypochondriac.

I saw projections that New York would be underwater due to rising seas, and projections that we only had 12 years before we all died, and projections that every family would save $2,500 on their health insurance, etc. Gotta watch those projections.

trying to comprehend how dense you have to be to get on this thread crying about your dad's retirement account (which literally nobody gives a flying **** about) while not being able to put two and two together to understand that your dad being retirement age puts him squarely in the demographic that is most at risk.

Does your doctor's office have any kind of 24 hour contact options.?

If you have a sinus infection (usually obvious by blowing out green/yellow snot) it could have gone into bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia.

Before you go to urgent care or the ER, you should call them to see what they'd want you to do so if in the end you do have the coronavirus, you won't expose everyone else there to it.

If you decide to call 911 for any reason, make sure you tell them your symptoms and that you think you might have it so the responders can take precautions.

If nothing else, you might try calling UTMB-Galveston. Looks like they do have a 24 hour nurses line.

There is at least one person on this forum who believes it actually is a SARS/HIV bioweapon.
