rocknroll41 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 My parents’ jobs reached announced today that they’re also going virtual. So now my parents, brother, and I are all virtual, for the time being! The world is certainly changing right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guidelines say that we can not be within a couple of metres from each other. This is distinctly not what I had in mind. It also means I'm doing the parenting alone for a week. Bah!

Gracii Guns Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Also, fairly worried my work will get cancelled. I am fully booked for two weeks at the end of March. It's a good chunk of money to miss out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I have been getting emails from my bank and restaurants around the Dallas area regarding the virus and how they are doing extra cleaning to help keep their places open and keep us all safe. It's nice for them to take the time and let us know. I have been a little scared to eat out lately. There was supposed to be the first concert in the new Globe life stadium (Ranger's stadium), but it's been cancelled. I have the Motley Crue and GNR concerts there this summer. I know it sounds stupid to want to see my concerts, but I can't believe how sports have been cancelled and flights around the world. I have never remembered any virus making everyone take such strict percussions to contain a disease before. It's very scary, but good that everyone is doing what they can to help out. One doctor was answering questions on the news and he said this virus might be around for months before they can find a cure or even contain it. So damn scary to know how easily our lives can be disrupted and possibly kill a lot of people. Stay well people. 3 hours ago, -W.A.R- said: Same.

djones1225 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I go to a trade school in Ohio, and hoping that doesn't get cancelled for a few weeks cause I'm done in a month and a half. Anyways saw my landlord today he bought disinfectant wipes for everybody in the building. Hoping this shit gets contained, stay safe everybody.

downzy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Interesting article on various projections and how bad this could all get. It's lengthy, but a good read: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca This is what you can conclude: There will be some other external factors that will influence the fatality rate Excluding these, countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China). Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5% Put in another way: Countries that act fast can reduce the number of deaths by ten. And that’s just counting the fatality rate. Acting fast also drastically reduces the cases, making this even more of a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that if you can take a deep breath and hold it to 10 without coughing you're almost certain not to have it, or at least, not severe enough to worry about it. I'm wondering how much the psychosomatic effect will take effect. There are very few cases where I live but I feel like my head is playing tricks on me. I just got over a cold last week and now I feel as though my chest if heavy. I have no problems breathing but have a slight cough. I'm also tired from looking after my very active two year old all day, all week, so that's probably the main cause. Anyway, hope everyone stays safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cough seems the one common denominator and I don't have that so maybe I don't have it. I probably have seasonal flu then. I am paranoid.

AxlRoseCDII Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The number of cases isn’t expected to peak for at least another month from what I’ve been reading. Settle in folks, this isn’t going to be over any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I'll just be taking some time off with my daughter if they do indeed keep schools closed longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
