Continuation of the Thread
Wow, and the pope is sick today too
Get some basic plumbing repair items. Do you really want to go to a big box store or have some plumber come over during an outbreak?
We have such supplies because, our luck, things break Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Good luck getting a plumber then for less than the sum of your next paycheck.
Did President Trump say that “the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself”.
We’re ordering stuff online, spraying down the boxes with a mild bleach solution and letting them ‘age’ for a cpl weeks in the garage.
YMMV of course.
Probably way overkill but I’m a germphobe anyways.

“Employees at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the mood in their office is somber.

Unless he was exposed earlier, one day isn't enough for symptoms to appear.
Well...they can always learn to code.
AUSTRIA
In Vienna there is the first confirmed case of coronavirus. A 72-year-old is seriously ill. The case was announced by City Councilor Peter Hacker ( SPÖ ). The patient should be an Austrian.
The man had been in the Rudolf Foundation for ten days, showing classic flu symptoms. The diagnosis was then made after a routine examination . This was ordered by the hospital association ( KAV ) at the weekend due to the spread of the virus for all patients who showed corresponding symptoms. On Thursday he was brought to the isolation station in the Kaiser-Franz-Josef hospital .

Comment by kiwibird at FluTrackers:
Three hospital stations blocked
Three stations of the Rudolf Foundation have currently been blocked, including the intensive care unit where the pensioner had been treated. The state medical director is on site in the hospital, the locks may need to be extended.
lighting - solar security lights in case power goes off so you can light up your yard, flashlights and headlamps - multiples, rechargeable batts, (envelop has a 25 dollar kit that the double a’s fit into the supplied c and d bat shells but you’ll probably use more double A’s for your devices = found at lowes), lowes or HD buckets, paracord or nylon clothes line cord, kitchen trash bags, hefty 55gal bags, duct tape-more than one roll - sheet plastic (plastic tablecloths from dollar store?), can openers - more than one (so sick person can have one). Extra reading glasses or a magnifying glass. BOOKS - novels, first-aid, kids. Stuff to occupy yourself - watercolors, notebooks for diaries, puzzles or models, board games, badmitten or cornhole for kids. Set that old bike up as a stationary bike. Paper napkins, plates, a pack or two of picnic plastic cutlery, and red dixie cups for the sickroom. We probably have half this stuff in our homes already.
I was thinking how to set up a ‘negative pressure’ room in a home if Dad has to be quarantined in the bedroom and the best I can figure is a fan under the door into the room, and a window in the room slightly open? Would that help at all?
I was also thinking about privacy. Especially for apt dwellers - use a sheet/plastic tablecloth to cut off a corner of the hallway, under the stairs, a closet, the spare-bathroom tub, a corner of the porch or patio - some place a family member can go and not be disturbed. But set a limit on privacy time - like an hour - so as not to encourage introversion.
I’m sure he caught it before, my concern would be all the people he kissed and shook hands with.
Thanks.
Missed it and will try to watch, later.
What did WHO presser have to say, anyone know?
Azar now saying that WORKING CDC testing kits will now be the priority.
Ok good, but why was this not a priority 2 weeks ago?
A month later than they were needed.
Better late than never I guess.
