Condolences to the family. Please take care of your family and yourself.Well the first person in our company has died from the virus. Granted at another facility in another state, but still, damn...
What's with the toilet paper thing? Honestly, if you have flowing water, you don't need to worry all that much, just go in the shower, turn it on and spread your cheeks. It should blast everything off just fine.
I kind of first used this when I had one of those "whole rollers" -- you know, you wipe, and wipe, and wipe, and it won't all come off. So, I stood in the shower -- it had one of those nozzles you could take off the holder, and move it around, so I put it a few inches from where the sun don't shine and blasted away. A few seconds later, I went back to find it got rid of everything the paper wouldn't.
They'd be nutz to terminate. Laid off, furloughed, etc.? that maybe be a possibility. Best of luck to you and your yours.I am sat in the hotel where i work waiting for my manager to finish a conference call with head office and the other hotels in the group.
Dont know yet if were closing or staying open.
Dont know if employment being terminated or job being kept with government assistance.
Very worrying.
Do we have "over-sharing" or TMI emojis? If not, we need them!
There is a 28 yr old footballer got it and recovered, but he was unable to breathe unaided for a week. The UK has ordered 30,000 ventillators. At present 12.5 % of intensive care beds are occupied by CV patients, other people who are seriously ill don't just go away, you can stop scheduled operations but many of those are obviously important too. When the situation is overwhelmed you have dark choices to make, do you take an old man off a ventilator to put the young footballer, do you just stop treating people over a certain age?
The issue is what the statistics are and what they tell you. One of Boris Johnsons advisors spoke at length about this yesterday, it is extremely complex and "Just give me the bottom line" doesn't work in the discussion.I'm still amazed that people do not understand this, or are choosing to ignore this.
I don't think they understand simple statistics or medicine. (I'm not saying anyone here falls into this category). They keep citing current fatality rates, and confirmed infection numbers which are known to be incorect, and then draw conclusions from this false data usually through a preconceived bias. I highly recommend these people take a legit statistics class. Its actually eye opening.

They were saying that after the first few people died in UK, well 3 isnt a big sample is it? The people without underlying conditions survive longer before dying if they dont recover, they are starting to die now, it is a very grim discussion.Agreed. Thats why I think the "Its only killing old people because stats show..., is not valid. Look at the whole damn picture.
I think it is time to round up every person refusing to take precautions, social distance, as well as those that believe its a hoax or not serious and throw them together in the locked stadium. Lesson the burden on the healthcare system and let nature take its course.
Obviously I am kidding...
Also, the type of contact you have in someones house is much more likely to spread an infection than going to a sports stadium. You are all touching the same doors repeatedly, same taps, handing things around from the fridge etc.Starting to look like this may be a good idea. Drove past several houses in my neighborhood that had 15+ cars parked in the driveway and in front of the house. Figuring there is one driver and possibly one or two more people in each car, that's a whole lot of people enclosed in one house at the same time. Only takes one infected person to infect several others, if not the whole bunch, then spread it to the masses. Dumb!
That's a scary chart.This graphic is quite illuminating to show the exponential growth in cases while recoveries are only increasing linearly.

Per the WHO today, it took the world 67 days to reach the milestone of the first 100,000 cases. The 200,000 figure was reached just 11 days later, and 300,000 just 4 days after that. That delta between cases and recoveries is what's scaring healthcare professionals. Italy has been generating 5,000+ new cases per day. That will put a strain on any healthcare system.
