Welp, just got a fever and a sore throat. Called a doctor and he just said: "stay home for a week, don't have contact with other people. I'll hang a doctor's note on our door, just come by and pick it up." Here's hoping I don't die

It’s uncanny how strong of a preference this virus shows for the aged (particularly those with comorbidities) where as most other illnesses tend to hit the very young as well as the old. It’s almost as if the Chinese cooked this up in a lab in an effort to reduce their “less productive” segment of the population

I'm still on holiday in this super nice appartement in the Alps just next to Italy, and it's kind of surreal to watch my country (Belgium) go full quarantine while I'm skiing. Thanks to this thread though I already stocked up on toilet paper, diapers, formula, pasta and rice so I'm just enjoying the moment. All my hockey matches are canceled. I probably won't be able to go see Dave Clarke in may. Waiting for my company to declare WFH for support functions and for the child care to tell us we have to keep the baby home. It's nice to be prepared.

If you're intubated and sedated, you're gonna be lying down all day, barely moving, and unable to cough. Sure they'll suction you every couple hours and use medications to attempt to manage the secretions, but that's a poor substitute for moving about and coughing. Add to that the massive influx of mucus production from the infection and you can imagine how this stuff just builds up in sick people's lungs

Rad-daddio posted:I had Valley Fever a few years back, so I'm already versed in coughing up blood tinged phlegm. Corona should have a lot of fun with my lungs. Valley fever both sucks and is rare, congrats  What's been nice for me working in the Roni clinic is we get whatever we ask for (within reason, of course), quickly. Need a few more test kits for strep and flu? Here you go. A light went out in the office, someone is there in 5 minutes (instead of waiting a week). Patients are getting pissed and we're having to make hard decisions (like not allowing a dad to go to his wife's pre-natal ultrasound), but we're doing the right thing.

Helios Grime posted:Our company is so helpless. They probably know that the system can't handle everyone doing WFH, so they don't make everyone do it right now. But they now recommend everyone taking home all important documents and laptops every evening for the case we couldn't come back in because of a lockdown, so they have a few more days to test and expand the system. I think my company is also doing the same as yours. Not sure why we are still at work. We l just got an email saying they are monitoring it and cleaning the bathrooms harder.

Talked to my dad. He lives in a small town outside of Vienna and does contract work for the UN, but he's stopped going into the city and they're preparing to stay holed up in their village as things shake out. His Austrian wife has a part-time teaching job and it and similar government programs have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. Apparently his wife's brother's girlfriend's son just got back from Tirol and is showing symptoms so they've all self-isolated. My dad's 75 but has no medical conditions and is otherwise extremely healthy. Meanwhile, my mom's wintering in Cuba so I have to admit, this whole pandemic timing could have been worse. Anyway, I'm off to stock up on diapers. Do I have a kid? What, no, haha, why do you ask? Mordja fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Mar 12, 2020 |

Ontario's tested over 4000 people so far and of that number only 54 are positive so Goons, if you've got the sniffles chances are good it's not the 'Roni. Yet.

I have the sniffles and an itchy throat but today is also the first day I've seen the sheen of heavy pollen on the swamp water so that's perfectly normal through June or so. Which is to say, I'm spreading this motherfucker everywhere I go until the fever kicks in.

Burt Sexual posted:Phone diagnosis? Can you blame him??  A clinic near me has set up a drive-in testing facility, you just pull up in your car and lower the window and they they come out in their protective gear and reach in and take a swab. You book and pay over the phone and when you arrive you ring them again to let them know you're there. Their instructions very clearly explain that you DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR while you're there. There's only been 126 confirmed cases in Australia and three deaths (which were people aged 78, 95 and 82) so the hyper-vigilant clinic sounds more like an exercise in crowd panic control than anything

My city also declared a SOE, and here I am at work. Luckily I wear gloves all day, but if it's airborne...

My employer just sent out an email stating that if you are out due to the Cornonavirus (including your own illness, caring for others, mandatory quarantine etc.), you will need to exhaust all of your PTO to be paid, then take FMLA. This is a company with a robust VPN system but has a strict no-WFH policy.
