well, that explains why he’s the ‘second’ Baptist church instead of the ‘first’ ;)

perhaps his parish could volunteer to disinfect grocery stores at night

Do you need a prescription in Canada for an inhaler?

CV is the big mean cousin of a cold virus. Sort of like a MOAB is a .22.

You can mark off the hot weather theory.

[blueplum]

how many red envelopes did she receive?

[blueplum]

I think also, keeping children home is a way to identify each superspreader. Their parents getting infected is the tell.

[RummyChick]

I never watched CHildren of the Corn but it reminds me of something like that...kids are super spreaders

[bgill]

Is there a site to view current truck shipping like flightaware?

[bgill]

It would work only if the rest of the world sued as well. Won’t get anything out of a suit but would by kicking them to the curb and shutting down all trade.

Just the sniffles and a very light caress of an ice pick.

The reverend is taking pointers from islamic clerics.

My first thought was snakes, too.

I didn’t see you around yesterday and was wondering if y’all were ok.

[bgill]

Yeah, that cold vaccine was such an advancement in medicine.

I have a daughter who is in the home health care field who has been ill for the last few days. She has been told that she will not be tested and she visits 5+ shut-ins a day. She is quarantined currently, but I know you can still be contagious even after symptoms are gone. She doesn’t want to kill grandmas.

This extreme rationing of testing is insane. Seems as though you have to rich and famous to get medical attention.

Trump just said it will probably roll by in July or August!

That’s a long time for me to be self-isolated.

Why is the testing a major factor would your daughter continue to go to work among the elderly if she has the flu?? I would certainly hope not , the flu and colds are just as deadly to the elderly what the hell does a test do for anyone!! Just STAY HOME and get well it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference what illness you have especially if you work with the elderly!!!

[BelleAl]

She is staying home. That’s not the point...it’s when do you go back to work? You can stay CV positive after your symptoms are gone. That can last a few days, a week, maybe more. Seems as though a test would let her know how to better manage the return to her patients.

Thanks. Events have outrun my failed communication.

[PA Engineer]

Get out of my foxhole.

[PA Engineer]

Yes. You can send a scanned image.
