It's a real kick in the nuts.

Sad but not inconceivable. It’s also sad she died before getting tested and the family is still waiting on their results. Other countries can get their results back within hours. There’s not reason we can’t.

Wonder how she got it.

That is true, but some of them appear to go through life not quite as well as they were before catching it.

This is good advice for sure. Having worked in live radiological conditions previously (7 nuclear powerplant refueling cycles) I can appreciate what cross contamination means. Thank you for your perspective.

We are not yet quarantined here in PHX, AZ. The less one ventures out, the better. I have enough food to hunker down for a couple months or more, with some minor unpleasantries to deal with regarding my palette, but nothing to gamble my health over. I plan making another trip out of the house at some point, to secure a fuel cache, to include filling my vehicle tank and 5 spare 5 gallon gas cans.

Open to any and all advice freepers. TY!

81 degrees is way below body temp of 98.6. Wait until it’s 100+ outside and then we’ll see of the heat theory has legs.

Correcting a math error in my post- I ended up paying $6 a gallon for soy milk, due to there being zero other choices.

I had mumps in Kindergarten.

When mumps was going around in my youth, people always said a boy could become sterile if the mumps "go down" on him. I think that happened pretty rarely, and apparently referred to the infection moving from the neck glands to the groin.

Why would they ban private vehicles? Do they want people crowed on a bus?

Glad to help. All these “it’s just a flu” will be realizing it’s more in a week or so. Good luck and see you on the other side.

I think a lot of the ‘only old people die, good’ posters are either not from this country or simply waiting on an inheritance.

I’ve been called a cynic before though.
