So here's something that's cool. Turns out my sibling is 10 minutes away from where all the poo poo is happening in Washington. I live in the same building as two nurses. One or both of us will definitely get this eventually.

The Italian government is quarantining Northern Italy. Lombardy is being completely shutoff and everywhere else their closing down just about everything except restaurants and cafes. Customers still have to sit at least a mater apart though.

So 1 crew member from the Grand transferred about two weeks ago to the Royal staff but isn't showing any symptoms. I found in another forum that they aren't letting the ship disembark until they test that crew member. Can anyone confirm please?

feel like im on the worlds worst benzo

but ye ambulance on way

You're really lucky you live in a place where taking an ambulance is free so that you don't potentially spread something to other people in mass transit.

Here in the US it cost literally thousands to take an ambulance so mass transit is going to be plague infested.

I hope the CEO of every health insurer in this country dies of this disease.

Stay safe, fellow T1d goon. I just updated my insulin pump to be a closed loop system just in time to get murdered by a second virus. This worries me but i don't have a lot of protective measures i can take that will actually be effective given the office i work in. Hopefully we get full time telework and i can just read criteria and send snippy emails to people from home.

If you didn't have a fever that's probably why they let you go.

There is another ship in LA right now that they won't let people off of because there is someone who might have it.

I have little doubts they are gonna let people off and people are going to start getting sick.

LA County is not doing a good handling it.
