The NYT had an op ed about how selective quarantines might be better, since it would focus our resources on those who need them most.

While on paper this might work, and even lead to less of those in the at risk group dying, I can't imagine a logistical method that would allow for an effective separation of those at risks while a vaccine or treatments are developed.

Yeah it would basically mean providing secure housing to the vulnerable population. What they did with folks from the plague ships, but for millions of people. If 1 person in your household has high risk factors, but other members of your household do not and so are required to return to work/school, that person has to go live alone somewhere. No visitors in or out, for at least a year.

I guess hotels? I imagine a lot of hotels are going to go under anyway. Some were already hurting or dying from trying to compete with airbnb, there's bound to be more now.

So they could offer the vulnerable solitary confinement in failed hotels. Even if it's well-funded that's going to be awful, so nobody will want to stay. Then we can all shrug when they die and say they brought it on themselves.

Seriously people, you do not need n95s. You know who does? I do, and all the people I work with. I'm in the room with covid patients every day and we have almost no n95s to go around. When we run out and I've got to collect a covid swab on somebody's mom, or dad, or kid, or grandparent, am I going to have to just pray they don't cough (they all do)? Then hope I don't give it to coworkers, or worse, my wife and son?

Stay home, wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze.

That's all true, but ordering from loving aliexpress isn't going to have any effect on the local supplies. If someone wants to be a panicky baby then buying from aliexpress or wish.com is the least harmful way to do so.

Putting holes in the walls (or removing the cable TV faceplate) and dropping a pound of raw chicken or fish, then replacing the faceplate is nice

You need to put at least half a pound so it doesn't dry out in a day or two

Rooms will stink to high hell but not obvious location, have to pull the walls apart to clean them

No I'm in a low density place with lots of food options that don't include crowding up a store, and the house can store a lot of stuff as opposed to our expensive shoebox. We do a supply run to a regular supermarket once a week and otherwise don't need to move out of the property.
If I'd stayed I'd be out every other day and get coughed at by plebs and geriatrics, nope.

First they mail everyone a questionnaire. You can answer by mailing it back or just going online. Then if you don't they send people door-to-door to get you to answer. All the door-to-door stuff is on hold, but you can still answer the questionnaire online or by mail.

Been feeling a little short of breath today but have no other symptoms at all of a covid19 infection

I think I've freaked myself out and the more I think about it the worse it gets. I can hold my breath for 30 seconds pretty easily and I heard that's a good sign I'm not drowning internally.. but when I'm just sitting around I randomly find myself catching my breath..
