Seriously, young people are not being affected by this, grow up.
Knowing
Then you should have done privately.
And it wasn't a question. You wrote "She could lose her job"
I will publicly apologize. There's just LOTS of speculation about COVID-19
A few days ago, someone was posting that the COVID-19 virus could still be infectious on surfaces at 14 days! No reference, no citation - just stated it without a lick of evidence.
Just today you had someone posting, almost contemptuously, related to some people not adequately prepping and waiting until the "last minute".
I am very sad at the attitude of somer FReepers (not you - you were at least trying to help in your post). We just all have to be mindful of what we post.
First of all..*everything* I’ve read (and heard) indicates that if you’re young and healthy you have literally nothing to worry about. It’s old geezers like me...and diabetics...and those with underlying lung disease or heart disease...that have to worry.
I don't know what it is going to take.
How many will she infect before she realizes she is sick.
Just an inconsiderate brat
And plenty of milk.I went to the local supermarket yesterday and the dairy aisle was literally stripped clean...completely empty.
Of course she and others like her will be spreading the virus to others who will suffer.
A lot of people around me are falling for this media orchestrated crisis.
I refuse to play the game.
I'm guessing you don't have any friends or relatives who are old or have compromised immune systems, COPD, or asthma.
I have flown a lot in my time and rarely, maybe 4 times, gotten sick immediately after and I catch everything. Who knows, too, it could have been from airport bathroom, waiting area, before trip, etc.
Deductively, I have always concluded airplane air not as contaminated as people like to believe.
The planes are empty. She’ll be fine.
it looks like you’re from the DC area and your daughter will be leaving from Dulles.
She and her friends, are they all government employees?
How do you feel about her going on vacation when she’s been given 3 weeks to work from home? How do you feel about people in general taking a vacation when they are supposed to be working?
Her plans are not safe and they are dishonest.
It’s an old B&W news paper half-tone. You can tell by the grid markings.
I suggest just having her take some measures to reenforce her immune system. I hear that zinc helps - you might want to research that.
If she’s flying out of the area after being told to work from home for the next 3 weeks, couldn’t that get her terminated?
That alone, if she had any Common Sense should do it.
Or Hallmark Channel tugs on the heart strings. 23 year old’s die in this country everyday from some disease. My son is returning from Cozumel today. I think I’ll have a panic attack and go buy some toilet paper, if I can find any out there.
From NBC in 2010. Nice positive media piece from the swine flu era, and who was prez?...... Odumbo.
Good luck w/ the virus bud.
