{COVID-19} Coronavirus Pandemic: Toilet Paper Rationing

[Boyiee]

Oh I also got wine and ginger ale too since everyone says crown and ginger is great and I've had crown sitting on the shelf for years from my house warming.

And we've now exceeded 300,000 infected worldwide with 50,000 cases being reported in just one day.

My wife probably has an ear infection, she has really bad post nasal drip causing terrible sore throats at night and mucus with a productive cough when she wakes up and some ear pain. She had a 100 fever a few days ago. Got kicked out of a walk in when she accidentally mentioned the fever lol. MA'AM YOU NEED TO GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AND CALL THIS NUMBER. FFS we were just gonna teledoc but actually wanted someone to look in her ear before the antibiotics. Lesson learned.

It's a shit move to NOT mention those symptoms right now. The reaction is understandable. People in the medical field, like my mother, have been exposed because of people intentionally withholding information.

Given the circumstances, how in the hell did you think they would react?

She's a nurse, it's pretty stupid to kick someone out for an ear infection lol. They are essentially screening every person with any singular symptom which is asinine.

Also I bought 10lbs of oats, come at me.

As a nurse I would think she'd understand the circumstances.

It's safer to be overly cautious. That's the whole point.

So literally no person should go into any walk in or clinic for any illness as long as this pandemic is going on?

[Fondue]

No Person with a fever lmao

No. They should call ahead of time. The clinics are overwhelmed. C'mon bro.

They are actually empty.

[Boyiee]

Every walk in around here is empty, we have the 4th most cases.

With any of the symptoms they're blanket screening for it's a no shit sherlock sort of deal.

It's like getting pissed that you went to the grocery store and they were out of bread.

Our grocery stores all have bread.

They shouldn't blanket screen every one with only 1 symptom since so many hundreds of things have that 1 symptom.

For people in CA, NY, and wherever else that it's in place, how big a deal is the shelter there? For IL, after the press conference yesterday, I was like "that's it?" since it really wasn't a big deal. Non-essentials that weren't already working from home though suggested to do that for a week, yeah. Other than that, it was like shutting down parks and libraries.

Welp. Went to the local hospital for my yearly mammogram (Yes, I'm that old. No, far as I know no breast cancer, this is because there's a family history of it so I get my breasts checked every year). They told me to go though the emergency room entrance; they checked my temperature; they were checkin' everybody. Naturally, I'm fine (tho I got a stuffy nose. Allergies, yuk, take a hike!) The lady in the mammogram clinic also freaked for a moment when she saw my hand sanitizer; since it's compounded by a pharmacy, it has a prescription label. She only saw the label, I told her, don't worry hand sanitizer!

Anyway it went well; We may be going to CVS later, one of our Instacart orders is like 2 hours late. It had popcicles in it so I hope they aren't melted!

Also Biolife sent a thing that said they are changing the order of things when you go in for a appointment. They are taking your temp FIRST; proly to make sure no one's lying about having this crap. (The old order was do their little computer survey first, then they take your vital stats. So they're doing the stats first..)

As for GA cases/deaths: it's now up to 507 cases with 14 deaths. Most of them not near me, but I'm gonna hand sanitize and wash my hands while singing "Happy Birthday" lol. Do NOT want it, do not want to give it to my vulnerable siblings. (I'm going to follow nurse's aid protocol for that for the duration. That's 20 seconds scrubbing while you got soap on your hands; you can get that by singing Happy Birthday; make sure you keep your fingertips down into the sink if you do that and I recommend everyone do that! Yes, I did test to be a nurse's aid at one point. No, I never did find a job.)

Also; the library (other than the online..) and the parks here are shut down until next week. Our governor moved fast.

I think it's just because we're in such different circumstances.

I'm in an area where it's exploding (increased 35 positive cases in 30min). I'm dealing with the results of NOT initially blanket screening and the fallout. I don't want you in this position amd I think they should be ridiculously safe with it right now so you don't end up here.
