central dogma posted:Fear not, this is not a gastrointestinal disease. You probably just had some bad taco bell. There seems to be conflicting reports on whether or not gastrointestinal symptoms are common or not. Hopefully I don't have the roni  . Given that there's only been like two or three confirmed cases in my area I sincerely doubt I have it but who knows. The only time I even leave my house aside from getting the essentials is to do the occasional walk and I avoid other people when doing that.

Yeah, any time my knees ache, or I get a tickle in my throat, I start wondering if I can take a deep breath or not and my anxiety kicks in. It's been like this for a week and it's exhausting. I go to bed wondering how I'll feel in the morning now.

GI symptoms are common, according to the researchers actually checking for them. I haven't seen any studies suggesting otherwise but plenty are simply not mentioning them, since the GI symptoms aren't the real issue. Chinese researchers posted a study where over half of covid-19 patients complained of at least one GI symptom, such as diarrhea, anorexia, vomiting, etc when being checked in. Anyone who tells you that this doesn't have GI symptoms is simply wrong

If I still have stomach issues tomorrow - or any other issues - I'll definitely be concerned.

Just yesterday caught some news on CBC where they brought in a medical expert to explain the risks of viral transmission in the current environment of the takeout-only restaurants if the person making your food is infected with covid-19. The medical guest claimed that the risk of infection from contaminated food is low, akin to talking to the person for 1 second, and is basically not-dangerous to consume. Now I'm reading an article on WebMD that says otherwise: Spiegel explained how the digestive symptoms arise. "The virus enters human cells through the ACE2 receptor in the lungs but also in other body parts, including the GI tract. We think the virus gets into saliva and we swallow it, and then it passes through the acid layer in some patients and uses the ACE2 receptors to enter epithelial cells that line the intestine." The virus replicates rapidly in the cells of the GI lining, enters the intestinal tract, and is shed, Spiegel said. "There is clear evidence from endoscopy that it can damage the stomach and the intestines. The fact that these patients do worse may be that more of the body is involved." Looking forward to eating some tainted McDicks somewhere...

Should I go to the dentist now? I'm living in a major city with confirmed cases. I need to get a couple of fillings and have an appointment later this week. I will be basing my decision on the advice received from this thread. Thanks in advance.

So 26,000 cases and 200,000 tests done in the US. 13% positive is lower than I would think if they're mostly just testing people with symptoms, direct connections to positive cases/areas, and celebrities. The surge in positive tests has also driven the death rate way way down. Maybe the matching deaths come in a week but if the positives cases are driven by more testing, not a change in the actual characteristics of the population, then that doesn't make sense, unless there's an unfortunate and coincidental surge in cases at the same time testing capacity ramped up. Ex-Priest Tobin posted:Should I go to the dentist now? I'm living in a major city with confirmed cases. I need to get a couple of fillings and have an appointment later this week. They're probably already working through their list of appointments to let everyone know they're canceled.

Here's my last two weeks: Monday the 9th almost the entire medical center where I work went to modified access. Doors are locked, anyone setting foot in the building gets screened and either gets an armband and continues on or (for people with travel history/symptoms) gets a mask and sent to me and my clinic. We are in full PPE, screen the patient further, get full vitals, have a huge checklist of poo poo to ask them about travel, sick contacts, etc. etc. Then we try to contact whatever doc they're seeing to let them know: a. patient has travel history and/or symptoms b. you can either see them in isolation in our clinic or they can reschedule Pregnant women are the only exception, and we have a whole different protocol for them once they're screened so they can see their OB. I'm happy we're doing all this, but we are all absolutely exhausted, and quickly running out of PPE and appropriate cleaning agents. Luckily this week people seem to have gotten the message, and there's been a MASSIVE decrease in patients coming in, so that's a little cause for hope. Of course, we've had to have security escort a few people out because they bullshitted to our screeners about travel/symptoms and got caught at their destination (where everyone is screened again). loving morons. Luckily, testing centers are springing up around the city, and the hope is we'll continue to see the people we need to see, but not anyone else (like people for physicals, routine follow-ups, non-emergent surgeries, etc.). I'm sort of resigned to getting covid at this point, I'm in my 40s and healthy, so I'm not too terrified that it'll kill me. I just don't want to bring it home to my wife and kid, so I'm undressing in a specifically designated spot in the garage everyday, none of my stuff comes inside, and I go straight into the shower from there. It's obsessive, but I couldn't live with doing any less to keep it out. Anyhow, that was my last

EVERY TIME GOING posted:Just yesterday caught some news on CBC where they brought in a medical expert to explain the risks of viral transmission in the current environment of the takeout-only restaurants if the person making your food is infected with covid-19. The medical guest claimed that the risk of infection from contaminated food is low, akin to talking to the person for 1 second, and is basically not-dangerous to consume. The fact of the matter is that we don't have much information to go on. That article doesn't really contradict what you were being told, if a sick food preparer is even a little bit diligent about sanitation. You're not getting sick from 1 virus particle landing on your pizza, but someone sneezing in your salad may be a different story. We don't know. I'm inclined to believe that hot food is probably safer than cold food, especially food that you can readily reheat prior to ingestion, but that's an educated guess. Most of the literature is focused on raw foods; the recommendation from the WHO is to avoid raw foods since normal cooking temperatures obliterate the virus And even if you did get infected from food, the GI route is mostly protected by the stomach, and virus isn't going to travel from your intestines to your lungs unless you literally eat your own poo poo so it's less of a problem than the nasal route of infection.

Going in to work tomorrow morning. Part of the food supply chain. My company only seriously starting enacting any kind of real helpful policies for all this this last week. Our workers are exposed to people that travel all over the country and frequently have poor personal hygiene practices. They are offering no additional help for their employees past whatever the government decrees. Our CEO watches the 24/7 news cycle to stay 'on top of it'. I'm skilled labor. I don't make even within 6 dollars of the median wage in my county. If everyone that currently has to work is so essential that the government is LITERALLY saying 'these people are necessary for the avoidance of the complete collapse of our nation', why is the value of our labor so low? It isn't. It just funnels to people who actually do very little to nothing of actual value. I just hope this whole thing is waking people up to this reality. Maybe a third party will actually have a chance to win come November, considering the kind of poo poo that's been going on daily. Stay safe everyone.

I am completely unprepared for this as far as PPE is concerned. So, after COVID-19 is all over, lets say i start to stockpile gloves, respirators, etc. When the next one hits, is it ethical to keep my stockpile? I should donate my resources to hospitals, if I have them, right? At the same time, i'm not the god drat national strategic reserve, is a failure to plan an emergency on my part? morally and financially the easy option for me is not to prepare other than the personal whiskey reserves?

I’d get it done now if the confirmed count cases are still low. You might not be able to get it done for a long time if it gets bad in your area. You’re not going to a bar or a crowded beach for fun, I think this is fine to go get done and prevent your teefs getting worse
