Muscle aches, extreme fatigue: Coronavirus symptoms go beyond fever and cough

That is what most of the tents are for. But there is simply no place to put them.
Yea, all I did (when I cracked) was to run around the outside of the house a few times screaming “We’re all going to die!!”, and then I got back to prepping.
It doesnt have the heart lung machinery capacity. Remember these ships are for battle wounds. They are set up in wards. Beds right next to each other.
They are big Petri dishes. Those things will be full of Covid by the end of next week.
I am not saying it was a bad idea...but without fast tests, this thing is already on the ship.
New York state reports 8,669 new cases of coronavirus and 197 new deaths in morning update, raising total to 92,381 cases and 2,373 dead
deaths are down at least .....about 200 less then this time yesterday...
505 total deaths yesterday...if NYC has another 150 in the evening update ....that wold mean 150 less deaths in NY state then yesterday
and the daily death USA toll will have a hard time making it to 1000 again
Their initial plan was Pray to Allah. (They) are praying hard.
That was a quote from the health minister. It worked for almost a month.
Plus...many of the machine operators are dead.
I’m not sure there are enough restaurants around here to actually SPEND 1000 a month on?
I can’t see how we’d EVER spend $300/month on ‘transportation’. We don’t have enough gas cans/storage for that much gas.
What a nutjob.
We need to toss him in the East River.
I read yesterday that Shanghai came up with 2000,000 additional teus (containers) in storage space to hand line incoming raw materials.
Not only are they not putting out much, they dont have the people or transport, or need for materials coming IN to China.
China is not open. You need only read the stats on production to know that. Non CCP numbers are out there.
Just did quick math.
That’s $30/day at the Sonic nearest us. Or the McD’s.
I’m not gonna bash Sonic, we have it as a treat every cpl months.
But hell if I’m going to feed my family crap once a day for a month.
Hell no.
They are the drunk guys tat the end of the bar. Theyve run out of friends who will get them jobs. So they sit on disability and howl at the moon.
I am sorry to hear that. I will add her to my daily prayer list. It takes longer to go through that every day.
They are willing to sacrifice millions in order to get their 401(k) up. What they dont seem to realize is they will end up killing both.
They are greedy and ignorant. They seem to think they cannot leave their basements...but they dont realize they never went anywhere to begin with.
Sonic can’t feed you and your neighbors at that volume. As it is we can’t crowd the workers into the small restaurant kitchen space in a lot of situations. Then you’ve got situations such as in CT right now, when you’re not supposed to have more than 5 people gathering.
Just all around a horrifically bad solution for the current situation.
It would end fast.
Most hospitals have a weeks worth of limited generator power. Phone and internet would fail. Deliveries would cease.
It would take just a little longer to recover from that.
My local Wally World was almost normal yesterday, except they were notably out of TP (wiped out still) and very low on other paper products. Almost anything for sanitizing & disinfecting also gone. Meats ok, canned goods and bakery goods low, baking goods low, rice, beans and other such staples low or out. Soda mostly in good supply, fruit juices low. Fresh produce and milk / dairy were in good supply. Aldi much the same story.
WalMart seemed to have about normal traffic for the time of day, Aldi was slow (but near closing time). Gas station (normally busy) was slow.
I saw one person beside myself in WM with a mask (I was wearing a scarf-over-mask), one with a scarf-as-mask, none elsewhere. One shopper wearing gloves, I think all employees were. No goggles anywhere or in previous trips, for that matter.
There is a mind-set change in progress.
It will be years before people want to go into restaurants in anywhere near the numbers they did before this hit, regardless of what “scientists” say.
This is similar to what happened in the depression—people who lived through that period were still hoarding bent nails and old toys for the rest of their lives.
That's not happening now. We're still working the same hours, but now we just cook dinner while dodging the 8 dogs who want to see us. We eat, wash dishes and resume work. The restaurants are closed down. A few have restricted menu take out. The Applebee's manager will do take out until the food stock in the building is gone, then will shut it down. The grocery shopping we would do after dinner isn't happening now.
I certainly don't live a luxury life style. The servers and businesses that I used to be able to support in exchange for an hour away from the work grind are going to be in tough shape. I don't subscribe to handing out cash just to prop up the economy. That money doesn't grown on trees. It is being stolen from our bank accounts by debasement of the currency.
I have one of those. Its from Klim. Its made from neoprene. Unless you are getting hit by winds of 30 miles per hour, it is difficult to breathe. Keeps your neck warm in late October or March.
