Bouillon cubes.

I think.

Yes! I always have emergency bouillon cubes, but I can't spell it.

Creamed tuna is basically tuna noodle casserole without the noodles! Tuna in cream sauce. When I was a kid, we ate it on toast or mashed potatoes with peas! Now I eat it over cauliflower mash with spinach. Or, if I want, like a tuna melt, with melted cheese. I think the liking of this depends on your liking of hot tuna fish, which may be an acquired taste, but it somehow the most comforting food from my childhood. Although lately I have been craving hash- which I can't have because potatoes- I think I might try rutageba and have some hash.

My cat did not get sick when I had the death flu, but she did sneeze a couple of times. I also can't worry about it, but since I work with students- if everything closes down, I will be out of a job unless we just focus on the online programs. They interrupted class the other day to deliver a GIANT Purell to the classroom. My old boss and my new boss are both immune-compromised because they take methotrexate, and my immunity is bad because of the diabetes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm another worker who definitely can't work from home, although I could see some scenario where I'm the 'outside' person who fetches stuff and leaves it on the doorstep to be handed off inside.

It seems like a good idea to remind ourselves that all that quarantine does at this point is to slow the spread -- it's going to get to you eventually, but if the spread slows down it buys time for medical treatment to be available to all.

In fact it might be a better position to get sick early (before the rush!) when you're likely to get rock-star treatment instead of one bed in a ward of hundreds and triaged if you look worse off. Presuming you come through OK (and remember, ~93-98% do) you're immune and able to take care of others.

I'm a little weirded out that this work medical form asks medical history and for medications I am taking. I did not think they could ask that.

Thrive to spite them

I didn't think they could ask that either.

Besides working in retail I pretty much self isolate. Everyone in the house tends to have hermit tendencies which I guess will serve us well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

this medical form also wants my immunization record with years. I have access to my current record from my dr fron the last 10 years and I have my childhood shot record, but I do not have any idea where my data on getting some of these are.

People need to do those immunization records when they come in as students. The easiest thing is to go to a PCP and have them sign off. But the polio is always a challenge.

For everything except polio, they can do titres to prove that you are vaccinated, even without dates,

Our wings are not tired.

I'm a little weirded out that this work medical form asks medical history and for medications I am taking. I did not think they could ask that.

The answer seems to be "it's complicated". [link] Personally, I would list what you are comfortable with and leave off anything you feel is none of their dang business.

Immunizations I can understand, but just do the best you can. I'd have zero method of finding out any of my childhood ones. Parents and all the doctors long gone.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If it were me I would list anything life threatening plus allergies and leave it at that - enough information so if I had to be rushed to the ER from work I wouldn't die, but nothing sensitive that wasn't relevant to the job.
