I can't help but think the stay at home pleas would work better if we had adequate testing and people knew just how much of this virus is around us. One of my office managers was saying she thinks she probably had it a couple weeks ago because she was forced home to bed with horrible fever and breathing issues. She's young and healthy and stayed home forcing hot broth into herself and recovered. Now she wishes she could know if she did have it and maybe is safe now around her patients. But, no way to know!
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

McMaasters is having a press conference right now, I've missed most of it but it doesn't look like we are being put under shelter in place orders but we are being told to act as if we are infected and could infect others. The police have the authority to break up groups of 3 or more that are deemed a public health risk but it doesn't seem like shelter in place orders are in effect.
We just need shelter in place orders.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So I've been told to take my work laptop home to WFH on the days I don't go to work. Mind you, I don't have many duties that can be done from home, but the boss says so, so I'm doing it.

TCG is going to be working from home 2 days a week, working in the office with only 1 other person 2 days a week, and mostly having Fridays off.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That is even funnier than Ohio's governor insisting that it's not a lockdown or a shelter-in-place; it's just a "stay-at-home." He literally said that during the press conference.

Like I know things are crazy right now and they didn't have a lot of time to workshop that, but still.

Now she wishes she could know if she did have it and maybe is safe now around her patients.
But even if she had it she may not be safe. There are already two strains of the virus, and part of what makes it a virulent virus is that it is a fast mutating virus, so by the time re-infection comes around it may have mutated enough that immunity is not working.

True, ND. We really know next to nothing about this virus.

so now Matthew's sister came over. Which ok she was here the other day but Matthew, his sister and h is mom are all sharing the same bong they didn't even freaking clean for earlier.
For the love, I just need to give up and take the attitude if I get sick I get sick because there is no way I can prevent myself from being exposed when people in this house will not take steps to keep from being exposed.
