It’s going to be hellworld until a vaccine gets manufactured in bulk. The reports of people getting re-infected after clearing it are ominous, I wonder what the rate is on that.

LibCrusher posted:Oh my god... I might have had corona in Manila last month and spread it the hotel, the mall, the airport, and back to the US. Our whole family got super sick 4 weeks ago. We all had high fevers for 4 days w/ coughing and fatigue, and nothing else. At the time, COVID wasn’t as big of a deal in the US and there weren’t any confirmed cases in our area (Los Angeles). I’m seriously wondering if we actually had it. I just assumed it was a really nasty flu at the time. It was the only time I can remember running a fever for 4 days in my adult (and maybe entire) life.

Aaand I've got a flu, no roni symptoms yet but I'm gonna do homeoffice and see what the weekend brings. Feeling in Berlin / Germany is switching from eh it's fine to weeell its kind of serious, very weird feeling. My girlfriend and I are now fully stocked INCLUDING TOILET PAPER so we can stay at home for like a month. Stay safe people and remember to lynch any executives who don't offer paid sick leave.

As an aside I have successfully established the name "the roni" in my group of friends, which somehow still amuses me a lot. Makes everything a bit less scary.

smoobles posted:Also I traveled to Boston the weekend before last and my throat is mildly scratchy. I probably am one of the people who has it but only gets mild symptoms. I'm the problem. Yeah same, flew to PAX East so I was at two airports and met and talked with hundreds of people... I've been feeling somewhat ill for the last two weeks. Nothing major but still. Just recently said to our family that we are not going to take the train to Stockholm to attend a kid's birthday party and a another kids "name giving celebration" this weekend. I think they took it ok, but w/e I'm not gonna risk anything... poo poo could get even more locked down faster than we think

All schools an kindergartens closed in Bavaria from Monday until Easter Holidays I. E. Early April. I expect this and the football games without audience to drive home to people what is coming as they are now directly affected by measures. Which means panic buys start today, a Friday. Luckily I anticipated this and already modestly stocked up on rice and pasta a week ago. Also Merkel strongly disencouraging any sort of social gathering that isn't necessary is pretty heavy stuff.

At the time, COVID wasn’t as big of a deal in the US and there weren’t any confirmed cases in our area (Los Angeles). Same here (Las Vegas.) I was down for 5 days mid February. No cough though, just fever, chills/sweats, constant headache and back and neck pains, no appetite. I usually don't get sick too. I hadn't taken a sick day in nearly a decade and I just used up 5. If that wasn't the Roni then I hope I don't get it now cause Id probably be out longer than my remaining sick leave.

We have 59 confirmed cases in Finland (likely more, of course) and our government just held a conference saying we're about a week behind the rest of Scandinavia, and are on the threshold of this becoming an epidemic. In preparation schools are closing down (the university I work at is cancelling all lectures and telling all the staff to work from home starting next Monday), public gatherings are limited, the national hockey league is getting suspended (and the season is probably cancelled) etc. The response is rational and realistic: the official policy is that the disease can't be stopped but we're doing everything we can to limit it from spreading. E: some of the local responses aren't though. There was a confirmed case at my university, and the school's official response was that the "20 people" who had been exposed have been identified and quarantined. My campus has ~8000 active students in a fairly small campus area, so that 20 people figure is just comically lowballed. Did the dude eat in a cafeteria (where they didn't even have hand sanitizer until last week)? Did he leave his coat in the coat racks with other people? Did he attend lectures? Did he walk in the corridors? I'm not saying people should panic and start eating each other, but saying "oh yeah 20 people were exposed and they've all been identified, don't worry everyone" is criminally negligent.

My girl went to kaufland in Berlin britz yesterday morning at 8 and bought the last stuff we needed. She said it was ramping up to be a hell of a day as a lot of people were already buying carts full of stuff. For the Americans: Germans usually buy day to day so people stocking up is definitly not usual. My work is now implementing shifts and homeoffice rotations, funny how quickly this turned more serious.

Be the bigger person, they say, as a howling wave of chuds projectile vomits an endless gout of accusations at minorities and 'those filthy poors.' I mean, yeah, I feel a little bad making jokes about it - my folks are in their 70s - but there's not really any doubt in my mind that I and others wont be shown the same courtesy.

It's weird when "guy who makes ghoulish jokes" doubles down on it when people are dying The 20-something dickhead behind the counter at the pharmacy asked me 'Got the coronavirus yet?' and then laughed to himself, 'Man, the mass hysteria is just crazy over this, it's nothing.' It took everything in me to only ask him with the deadest eyes I could manage, 'Do you honestly find this funny?' and he rushed out some mewling apology. I don't really care if people wanna make jokes but that dude's gonna be on the front lines and that galled me.

EL BROMANCE posted:The tp thing really makes me wonder how much I use. I usually get one of those big 24 packs from BJs, and just replace it when I get low. I have no idea how long that is. I have 8 rolls here by myself, and I often poop in work. But what if work closes? Dear lord, I’m going to have to jungle book it. We are in a bizarrely similar situation, right down to the exact number of rolls left. Honestly? If you have to just poo poo and shower. I don't know why people went to TP as the one thing they thought they absolutely couldn't do without. It just cleans your arse, there are loads of ways to clean your arse in an absolute emergency.

But TP is not a critical and unassailable part of the process. There are other (and frankly much more effective) ways to clean an arsehole than wiping it with a piece of dry paper over and over.
