There's no 100% satisfactory way to record the deaths. Per the interview with a NYC doctor I posted a few pages back, we wouldn't put a cause of death as "Doctor took the patient off a ventilator because it was needed for someone younger." The line has to be drawn somewhere and the line, as-is, is probably as good as any other.

Coronavirus: Why death and mortality rates differ
 
Well in an effort to be our forums live streaming patient...

Dry cough has become much stronger and more persistent. Increasing rapidly. It now hurts a lil when I cough. It appears the virus is rearing its ugly lil head.

Still 'working', but there's not a lot to do. I'm using the time to catch up on some business development plans, like a website, etc. I've got a couple of customers who are essential services, or support for it, so have a bit on, but not enough to pay the bills. I'm just lucky that I've built up some reserves, and between the Gov't subsidy and that I can keep going for 3-4 months without any income.
 
Chris, if Gnomy is correc and this is Corona it can do severe lung and heart damage in a very short time IMHO it is time to physically see and MD and get the test
 
Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.

I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe

I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.

Still haven't decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom

PS: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.

Homeschooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.

I don't think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone

This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog..... we laughed a lot.

So, after this quarantine.....will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me or do I find them?

Quarantine Day 5: Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.

My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat

I'm so excited --- it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?

I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backyarda. I'm getting tired of Los Livingroom.

Classified Ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun.

Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said "I hope I don't have the same teacher next year".... I'm offended.​
Better 6 feet apart than 6 feet under.
REMEMBER, NO STORM LASTS FOREVER. HOLD ​

It does not work that way Mike.

There are no in person Dr. visits anywhere. They are all virtual now. There are no tests here. Protocol here is to only test 1st responders, doctors and nurses.

The only way you see a Dr in person is to go to the Emergency Room, and there they will only admit you if you are in respiratory distress.

There is no cure. All you can do is take over the counter drugs and let your body fight it off. My symptoms are very mild. I am not in respiratory distress. If I were to go to the ER, I would take up resources from someone who actually needs it now.

For 90% of the people who get this, staying at home and taking over the counter drugs will do the trick. That is what everyone has to do until symptoms become worse. Hopefully mine won't. So far the DayQuil is working at keeping me comfortable.
 
I can't help but wonder, as I sit and see no contrails in the air and the fact that I can't recall the last time I drove my car further than a round trip to the grocery store, how much less carbon has been pumped into the atmosphere and how does this compare with what nations would need to do to meet the Paris accord. May be a bit off topic but I'm trying to exercise my brain.
